ENGINE ACCESS FLAP
Unlocking the engine access

flat-blade screwdriver or similar;
– lift the flap;
– place it on a clean surface.
Closing and locking the
engine access flap
Check that nothing has been left in the

These may damage the engine or
cause a fire.
Make sure the engine
access flap is properly fitted
before and during its clo-
sure.
Make sure the engine access flap is

Risk of intoxication from fumes from
the engine compartment.
1A
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. Risk of injury.
As the engine is located under the
boot, do not slide or store anything
under the boot carpet.

4.3
Reading the oil levelThe 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 ensure that
the maximum level is not exceeded
(risk of engine damage). Refer to the
following pages.
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
A
B
C
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
– Remove the dipstick and wipe with a
clean, lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-
type dipstick C, screw the cap in as
far as it will go);
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never go below the “min” A or above the
“max” B.
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.
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
must the maximum fill
level B be exceeded: risk of damage
to the engine and catalytic conver-
ter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.

4.4
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be cold
(for instance, before the engine is
started up for the first time in the day).
– Unscrew the cap 2;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-pacity between the “MINI” and the
“MAXI” reading on the dipstick 1
is between 0.20 and 0.24 gallons
(0.9 and 1.1 litres) depending on the
engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick 1
(as described above). Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go and that
the cap is completely screwed in.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up/filling (1/2)
Do not exceed the “MAXI” level and
do not forget to refit the cap
2 and
the dipstick 1.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.

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.
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.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.
Risk of injury.

should never fall below the minimum
level, or be over the maximum level on
the dipstick).

Frequency of checking coolant level
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:
– protection against freezing;
– an anti-corrosion protection for the cooling system.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Replacement interval
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Coolant level
With the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the MINI and MAXI marks
on reservoir 1.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MINI mark.
