LEVELS (2/3)
 Coolant
The level when cold should be be-
tween the MINI and MAXI marks on the
coolant reservoir 2.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MINI mark.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Checking intervals
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
– antifreeze protection;
– anticorrosion protection of the cool- ing system.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

Label A
Observe the indications on the battery:
– 2 naked flames and smoking forbid-
den;
– 3 eye protection required;
– 4 keep away from children;
– 5 explosive materials;
– 6 please consult the driver’s hand-
book;
– 7 corrosive materials.
Battery
1 does not require any mainte-
nance. You should not open it or add
any fluid.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Keep naked flames, red hot objects
and sparks away from the battery
components as there is a risk of
explosion .
BATTERY (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status.
When the ignition is off, some consum-
ers may also be switched off (dipped
beam headlights, radio, ventilation,
etc.). On the instrument panel, the
“BATTERY MODE : ECONOMY” mes-
sage appears when they are switched
off. When the level is extremely low,
the messages “BATTERY LOW” and
“START ENGINE” are displayed.
The charge status of the battery can
decrease, especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops, etc.;
– with the vehicle stopped and the
engine off.
Please note when work-
ing close to the engine that
it may be hot. In addition,
the engine cooling fan may
start at any moment. The

warning light in the engine compart-
ment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (2/2)
Connect the positive (+) lead A to (+)
terminal 1 of the discharged battery,
then to (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup-
plying the current.
Connect the negative (–) lead B to (–)
terminal 3 of the battery supplying the
current and then to (–) terminal 4 of the
discharged battery.
Check that there is no contact between
leads A and B and that the positive (+)
lead A is not touching any metal parts
on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as
it is running, disconnect leads A and B
in the reverse order (4-3-2-1)
The two batteries must have an iden-
tical nominal voltage of 12 volts.
The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which
is at least the same as that of the dis-
charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuiting when the positive terminals
are connected) and that the discharged
battery is properly connected. Switch
off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply-
ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed.
Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact
your approved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion, and
charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
Risk of serious injury.

Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an-
other vehicle to start, obtain suitable
jump leads (with a large cross section)
from an approved dealer or, if you al-
ready have jump leads, ensure that
they are in perfect condition.

5.27
To comply with local legislation, or
as a precaution, you can obtain an
emergency kit containing a set of
spare bulbs and fuses from an ap-
proved Dealer.
FUSES (1/2)
Fuse box
If any electrical component does not
work, check the condition of the fuses.
Unclip cover A. To locate the fuses, please see the fol-
lowing page.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations.
Some functions are protected by fuses
located in the engine compartment.
However, because of their reduced ac-
cessibility,
it is recommended to have
these fuses replaced by an autho-
rised dealer.
Check the fuse in question and replace it, if necessary, with a fuse of
the same rating.
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is too high, it may cause the elect\
rical
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipmen\
t using
an excessive amount of current.

Tweezers 1
Remove the fuse using tweezers 1, lo-
cated at the back of cover A.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers,
slide the fuse to the side.

On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
Vibrations. Tyres not inflated to the correct pres-
sure, incorrectly balanced or dam-
aged. Check the tyre pressures: if this is not the
problem, have them checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Coolant boiling in the coolant reservoir. Mechanical fault: damaged cylinder
head gasket.Stop the engine.
Contact an approved Dealer.
Smoke under the bonnet. Short circuit or cooling system leak.Stop, switch off the ignition, stand away
from the vehicle and contact an approved
dealer.
The oil pressure warning light comes
on:
while cornering or braking The level is too low. Top up the engine oil level (refer to the in-
formation on “Engine oil level: topping up/
filling” in Section 4).

acceleration Loss of oil pressure.
Stop the vehicle and contact an approved
Dealer.
OPERATING FAULTS (3/6)

5.40
On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
Steering becomes heavy. Assistance overheating.
Fault with the electric assistance
motor.
Fault in the assistance system. Drive carefully at reduced speed, be aware
of the level of force in the steering wheel
needed to turn the wheels. Consult an ap-
proved dealer
The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature indicator and the warn-
ing light
® come on. Engine cooling fan not working. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
contact an approved Dealer.
Coolant leaks. Check the coolant reservoir: it should con- tain fluid. If there is no coolant, consult an
approved Dealer as soon as possible.
OPERATING FAULTS (4/6)
Radiator: If there is a lack of coolant, remember that it must never be topped up \
using cold coolant while the engine is
very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial drain\
ing of the cooling system, it must
be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct proportions. Remi\
nder: only products approved by our Technical
Department may be used for this purpose.
