In the event of even a slight
impact involving the radia-
tor grille or bonnet, have
the bonnet lock checked by
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
After any procedure in the
engine compartment, make
sure that you do not forget
anything (cloth, tools, etc.).
These may damage the engine or
cause a fire.

4.4
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km)
after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
should maximum filling
level B be exceeded: this could
damage the engine and the cata-
lytic converter.
If the level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an authorised dealer.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure that
the maximum level has not been ex-
ceeded (risk of engine damage).
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is at
its minimum.
– remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will go;
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
Once the level has been read, push the
dipstick in as far as it will go.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up/filling (1/2)
Before performing any
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must
be switched off (please see
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
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 careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.

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.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill level
be exceeded: risk of damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.

4.7
 Coolant
With the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the “MINI” and “MAXI”
marks on coolant reservoir 1.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MINI mark.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 1 to prevent any product
spatter and store the container in plas-
tic packaging to prevent product leaks.
– Affix the driving recommendation label to the dashboard where it can
easily be seen by the driver;
– Store the kit in the toolkit and re- insert it properly under the driver’s
seat.
– At the end of this initial inflation op- eration, air will still escape from the
tyre. You must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole.
– Start immediately and drive at be- tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and
check the pressure.
– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), read-
just it. Otherwise, please contact an
authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be
repaired.

tion pressure” in Section 4);
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 5).
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 5 will indicate briefly
a pressure of up to 6 bars, then the
pressure drops.
– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit; to
reduce it, press button 6.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
