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 engine switched off and on level ground.
warning
Before carrying out any action in the engine compartment, you must switch off the ignition Ignition-starter switch on a vehicle with key or Ignition-starter switch on a vehicle with card.
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 1.
If you wish to check the disc and drum wear yourself, you should obtain the document explaining the checking procedure from the manufacturer's network or website.

When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.

After any operation on the hydraulic circuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.

Topping up
With the engine off, open the cap 2. Fill until you can see the fluid, then replace the cap.
This reservoir supplies the front and rear headlight screen washers (if the vehicle is equipped with them).
Note: check the reservoir level regularly and top up the fluid before going on a trip.
Fluid: you should only use windscreen washer fluid containing anti-freeze.
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 or of limescale building up on the pump and the jets).
Jets: use a tool such as a needle to adjust the height of the windscreen washer jets.
