3.5
Air recirculation is for:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter-nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.Switching the air
recirculation on
Press the button 2: the warning light B
comes on. In these conditions, air is
taken from the passenger compartment
and is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (2/3)
Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on t\
he side
windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air\
in
the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to return to normal mode
(external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer \
required, by
pressing the button 6 again.
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
There are five air distribution options.
Turn control 8 to choose the distribution
option.
The air distribution is displayed on the
indicator D.
õThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen and the front side
window demisting vents.
÷The air flow is distributed be-
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demisting vents, the
windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed towards
the dashboard air vents, the
front footwells and, depending on the
vehicle, the second row footwells.
JAll the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.

Varying the ventilation speed
You can adjust the fan speed by press-
ing the buttons 4 to increase or reduce
the fan speed.
The fan speed is displayed on the in-
dicator C.
The system is stopped (OFF): the venti-
lation speed is zero (vehicle stationary).
You can, however, still feel a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is moving.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (3/3)
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn the control 1 to obtain the de-
sired temperature. The more bars dis-
played A, the higher the temperature.
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin to
feel cold. To increase the temperature,
turn control 1 to the right.
The air temperature is displayed on the
indicator A.
The de-icing function cannot be
used with the air recirculation mode
to avoid any risk of condensation
forming on the windscreen and trig-
gers the air conditioning to come on.
The integrated light in button 7 does
not come on.
Rear screen de-icing/
demisting
With the engine running, press
button 6. The operating tell-tale comes
on.
This function permits rapid demisting/
de-icing of the rear screen and de-icing
of the door mirrors (on equipped vehi-
cles).
To exit this function, press button 6
again.
Demisting automatically stops.
Stopping the system
To stop the system, press the button 5

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (1/6)Automatic mode
The automatic climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passen-
ger compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme condi-
tions), while optimising consumption.
The system controls the ventilation
speed, air distribution, air recirculation,
and starting and stopping the air condi-
tioning and air temperature.
AUTO: allows the selected com-
fort level to be best attained, depend-
ing on the exterior conditions. Press
button 7. The integrated indicator light
on button 7 comes on.
Varying the ventilation speedIn automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the fan speed by
pressing the buttons 6 to increase or
reduce the fan speed.
In this case, the integrated indicator
light on button 7 goes out and the ven-
tilation speed selected is displayed on
the indicator C.

window demisting vents.
÷The air flow is distributed be-
tween front side window de-
misting vents, the windscreen demist-
ing vents and the footwells.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.

Manual use
Pressing the button 9 allows air recir-
culation to be forced. In this case, the
integrated warning light comes on and
the indicator D goes out.
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-
tomatic mode as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 9.Stopping the system
To stop the system, press the button 1
OFF (the integrated warning light
comes on) or, depending on the ve-
hicle, reduce the fan speed down to
a minimum by pressing the button 6
marked by OFF as many times as is
necessary.
To start, press the switch 7.
Recycling
This function is managed automati-
cally (operation is confirmed by warn-
ing light D), but you can also activate
it manually.
Note:
– during recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and
is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the external atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-
ing in polluted areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (6/6)
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.

Engine oil grade
Refer to the maintenance document for
your vehicle.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (3/3)/OIL CHANGE
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Engine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be care-
ful not to scald yourself as
the oil drains.
Filling: take care when
topping up the oil that
no oil drips onto engine
components - risk of fire.
Remember to refit the cap securely
as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes
onto hot engine components.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
Oil change
Service interval: refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet for your
vehicle.
Oil change capacity
Please refer to the maintenance docu-
ment for your vehicle, or contact an au-
thorised dealer.
Always check the engine oil level using
the dipstick, as explained previously (it
should never fall below the minimum
level, or be over the maximum level on
the dipstick).Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
should maximum filling level
be exceeded: this could damage the
engine and the catalytic converter.
If the level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an authorised dealer.
Please note when work-
ing close to the engine that
it may be hot. The engine
cooling fan may also start
at any moment. The
 warning
light in the engine compartment re-
minds you of this.

Level 2
It is normal for the level to drop as the
brake shoes become worn, but it must
never drop lower than the “MINI" warn-
ing line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from the manufacturer’s net-
work or website.
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the brake
fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement interval
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
 Brake fluid
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
