WASHER FLUID

ENGINE OIL

Headlamp* and windshield washer
systems

The capacity of the headlamp washer sys-
tem is approx. 2.6 quarts / 2.5 liters, that of
the windshield washer system approx.
2.1 quarts / 2.0 liters.

Fill with water and – if required – with anti-
freeze, according to manufacturer's recom-
mendations.

We recommend that you mix the
washer fluid before adding it to the

reservoir.

<

Antifreeze agent for the washer sys-
tems is flammable. Always keep it

well away from sparks and open flames,
and store it in tightly closed containers well
out of the reach of children. Always observe
the instructions for use provided on the
container.

The illustration shows as an example the
dipstick of the MINI COOPER.

Measuring the oil level

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface
2. Switch the engine off after it has

reached normal operating temperature

3. Pull the dipstick out after approx.

5 minutes and wipe it off with a lint-free
cloth, paper towel, or similar material

4. Carefully push the dipstick all the way

into the guide tube and pull it out again.

The oil level must be between the two
marks on the dipstick.

As with fuel economy, oil consumption is
directly influenced by your driving style and
vehicle operating conditions.
