Brake fluid level
The level should be read with the en-
gine switched off and on level ground.
This should be checked frequently, and
immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
Level
1
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 network or the
manufacturer’s web site.
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic
circuit, a specialist must replace the
brake fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our Tech-
nical Department (and taken from a
sealed container).
Replacement interval
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle.
If there is an abnormal or
repeated drop in the fluid
level, please consult an au-
thorised dealer.
When working under the
bonnet, the bonnet may
be hot. The engine cool-
ing fan may also start at
any moment.
Risk of injury.
Coolant level
Check the level on flat ground, with the
engine switched off. When cold, the
level must be between the MINI and
MAXI marks on the reservoir
2
.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MINI mark.
When working in the en-
gine compartment, en-
sure that the windscreen
wiper stalk is in the park
position.
Risk of injury.
