

Brake fluid

The level should be read with the engine

switched off and on level ground. This

should be checked frequently, and im-

mediately if you notice even the slight-

est loss in braking efficiency.

Replacement intervals

Refer to the Maintenance Document for

your vehicle.

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 2

It is normal for the level to drop as the

brake linings wear, but it must never

drop lower than the

“MINI”

warning

line.

If you wish to check the disc wear your-

self, you should obtain the document

explaining the checking procedure from

our network or from the manufacturer’s

website.

If there is an abnormal or repeated

drop in the fluid level, please consult

an authorised dealer.

The vehicle drive system

in an electric vehicle uses

a direct voltage of approxi-

mately 400 volts.

This system can get hot during

and after switching off the ignition.

Observe the warning messages on

the labels in the vehicle.
Any intervention or modification on

the vehicle’s 400 V electrical system

(components, cables, connectors,

traction battery) is strictly prohibited.

The risk of serious burns or elec-

tric shocks can lead to death.

The engine cooling fan may also
start at any moment. The



label in the engine compartment re-

minds you of this.

Bodywork maintenance

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE

(1/3)

A well-maintained vehicle will last

longer. It is therefore recommended to

maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-

ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very

effective anti-corrosion products. It is

nevertheless subject to various outside

influences.

Corrosive agents in the atmosphere

– atmospheric pollution (built-up and

industrial areas);

– saline atmospheres (near the sea,

particularly in hot weather);

– seasonal and damp weather condi-

tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water

from road cleaners, etc.).

Minor impacts
Abrasive action

Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit

thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-

cautions in order to safeguard your ve-

hicle against such risks.

You should

Wash your car frequently,

with the

engine off

, with cleaning prod-

ucts recommended by our Technical

Department (never use abrasive prod-

ucts). Rinse thoroughly beforehand

with a jet:

– spots of tree resin and industrial

grime;

– mud in the wheel arches and under-

neath the body which forms damp

patches;

–

bird droppings

, which cause a

chemical reaction with the paint that

rapidly discolours paintwork and

may even cause the paint to peel

off;

wash the vehicle

immediately

remove these marks since it is im-

possible to remove them by polish-

ing;

– salt, particularly in the wheel arches

and underneath the body after driv-

ing in areas where the roads have

been gritted.

Withdraw the vegetable falls (resin, film

etc.) from the vehicle regularly.

Observe the vehicle stopping distances

when driving on gravelled surfaces to

prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas

where the paint has been damaged, to

prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe-

riodically in order to maintain your an-

ti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the

Maintenance Document.
Respect local regulations about wash-

ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-

hicle on a public highway).
If it is necessary to clean mechani-

cal components, hinges, etc., spray

them with products approved by our

Technical Department to protect them

after they have been cleaned.

We have selected special products

to care for your vehicle and you can

obtain these from the manufactur-

er’s accessory outlets.

– the wheels (e.g. braking system

components such as brake calli-

pers);

– the underbody;
– the parts with hinges (e.g. inside the

doors);

– the painted plastic external fittings

(e.g. bumpers).

Doing this could give rise to corrosion

or operational faults.

What you should not do

Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or

freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without

pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im-

pacts.
Using solvents not approved by our

Technical Department to remove stains

may damage the paintwork.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-

tions without washing the vehicle, par-

ticularly under the wheel arches and

body.

Kit de gonflage des pneumatiques (X10 - Renault)

Tyre inflation kit

TYRE PRESSURE KIT

(1/3)

The kit is only approved for

inflating the tyres of the ve-

hicle originally equipped

with the kit.

It must never be used to inflate

the tyres of another vehicle, or any

other inflatable object (rubber ring,

rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when han-

dling the repair product bottle. If

droplets do leak out, rinse them off

with plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from chil-

dren.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle

in the countryside. Return it to your

approved dealer or to a recycling or-

ganisation.
The bottle has a limited service

life which is indicated on its label.

Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to re-

place the inflation tube and repair

product bottle.

The kit repairs tyres when

tread

has been dam-

aged by objects smaller

than 4 mm. It cannot repair

all types of puncture, such as cuts

larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre

sidewall

Ensure also that the wheel rim is in

good condition.
Do not pull out the foreign body

causing the puncture if it is still in

the tyre.

Do not attempt to use the

inflation kit if the tyre has

been damaged as a result

of driving with a puncture.

You should therefore carefully check

the condition of the tyre sidewalls

before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or

punctured tyres can be dangerous

and may make the tyre impossible

to repair.

This repair is temporary.

A tyre which has been punctured

should always be inspected (and re-

paired, where possible) as soon as

possible by a specialist.
When taking a tyre which has been

repaired using this kit to be replaced,

you must inform the specialist.
When driving, vibration may be felt

due to the presence of the repair

product injected into the tyre.

In the event of under-inflation (punc-
tures, under-inflation etc.), the



warning light appears on the instrument

panel.

➥

With the engine running and the

parking brake applied,

– Disconnect any accessories previ-

ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-

cessories sockets;

–

Refer to the information on the in-

flation kit compressor

located in

the boot of the vehicle and follow the

instructions;

– Inflate the tyre to the recommended

pressure

➥

– After a maximum of

minutes, stop

inflating and read the pressure (on

pressure gauge

);

Note:

while the bottle is emptying (ap-

proximately 30 seconds), the pressure

gauge

will indicate briefly a pressure

bar, then the pressure drops.

– Adjust the pressure: to increase

it, continue inflation with the kit; to

reduce it, press button

Before using this kit, park

the vehicle at a sufficient

distance from traffic, switch

on the hazard warning

lights, apply the handbrake, ask all

passengers to leave the vehicle and

keep them away from traffic.

If the vehicle is parked on

the hard shoulder, you must

warn other road users of

your vehicle’s presence

with a warning triangle or with other

devices as per the legislation apply-

ing to the country you are in.

If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is

not reached after 15 minutes, repair

is not possible; do not drive the ve-

hicle but contact an approved dealer.

(3/3)

Once the tyre is correctly inflated,

remove the kit: unscrew the inflation

adapter slowly from the container

prevent any product spatter and store

the container in plastic packaging to

prevent product leaks.

– Affix the driving recommendation

label (located under the container) to

the dashboard where the driver can

see it.

– Put the kit away.

– At the end of this initial inflation op-

eration, air will still escape from the

tyre. You must drive a short distance

in order to seal the hole.

– Start immediately and drive at a

speed between 12 to 37 mph (20 to

60 km/h) in order to distribute the

product evenly in the tyre; after driv-

ing a distance of 2 miles (3 km), stop

and check the pressure.

– If the pressure is higher than 1.3 bar

but lower than the recommended

pressure (refer to the label affixed to

the edge of the driver’s door), adjust

it. Otherwise, contact an approved

dealer: the tyre cannot be repaired.

Precautions when using the

kit

The kit should not be operated for more

than 15 consecutive minutes.

The container must be replaced after

the first use even if liquid remains

inside.

Nothing should be placed

around the driver’s feet

as such objects may slide

under the pedals during

sudden braking manoeuvres and

obstruct their use.

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing valve cap can make the

tyres less airtight and may

lead to pressure loss.

Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

Following repair with the kit,

do not travel further than

120 miles (200 km). In addi-

tion, reduce your speed and

under no circumstances exceed

48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,

which you must affix in a prominent

position on the dashboard, reminds

you of this.

Depending on the country or local

legislation, a tyre repaired with the

inflation kit may need to be replaced.

Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)

TYRES

(1/4)

Maintaining the tyres

The tyres must be in good condition

and the tread form must have sufficient

depth; tyres approved by our Technical

Department have wear warning strips

that are

indicators moulded into the

tread at several points

The tyres are the only contact between

the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-

tial to keep them in good condition.

You must make sure that your tyres

conform to local road traffic regulations.

When the tyre tread has been worn to

the level of the wear indicators,

they

become visible

it is

then

necessary

to replace your tyres because the tread

rubber is

no more than 1.6 mm deep,

resulting in poor roadholding on wet

roads

An overloaded vehicle, long journeys

by motorway, particularly in very hot

weather, or continual driving on poorly

surfaced minor roads will lead to more

rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

Incidents which occur when

driving, such as striking the

kerb, may damage the tyres

and wheel rims, and could

also lead to misalignment of the

front or rear axle geometry. In this

case, have the condition of these

checked by an approved dealer.
