Levels, filters

Brake fluid level

The level should be read with the engine switched off and on level ground. This should be checked frequently, and immediately if you notice even the slightest loss in braking efficiency.

Replacement intervals

Refer to the maintenance document for your vehicle.
Tip
If there is an abnormal or repeated drop in the fluid level, consult an approved dealer.

Topping up

After any operation on the hydraulic circuit, a specialist must replace the fluid. Only use fluids approved by our Technical Department (and taken from a sealed container).

Level 1

It is normal for the level to drop as the brake shoes become worn, but it must never drop lower than the warning line "MINI".
If you wish to check the disc wear yourself, you should obtain the document explaining the checking procedure from our Network or from the manufacturer’s website.

Windscreen washer reservoir

Topping up

Open the cap 2, fill until you can see the fluid, then refit the cap.

Fluid

Only use windscreen washer fluid containing antifreeze.
We advise you to consult an approved dealer or a qualified professional.
Note: do not use hard water (risk of damage to the priming pump, limescale building up on the pump and the jets).
