ACCESSING THE ENGINE, LEVELS
5
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 Techni-
cal Department which ensure:
– antifreeze protection;
– anti-corrosion protection of the cool-
ing system.
No operations should be
carried out on the cool-
ing circuit when the com-
bustion engine is hot.
Risk of burns.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the maintenance document
for your vehicle.
If there is an abnormal or
repeated drop in the fluid
level, consult an approved
dealer.
When working close to
the combustion engine,
be aware that it may be
hot. The engine cooling
fan may also start at any moment.
The label in the engine
compartment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
Levels, filters
Brake fluid level
This should be checked frequently, and
immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the en-
gine switched off and on level ground.
Before carrying out any
action in the engine
compartment, you must
switch off the ignition
🡺142 or 🡺144.
Level
It is normal for the level to drop as the
brake shoes become worn, but it must
never drop below the "MINI" warning
line shown on the brake fluid reservoir

.
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.
When working in the en-
gine compartment, en-
sure that the windscreen
wiper stalk is in the park
position.
