ADDITIONAL
CHECKS
Every 1000 kilometres or before
long trips, check and top up as neces-
sary:
– coolant level
– brake fluid level
– power steering fluid level
– windscreen washer liquid level
– tyre pressure and condition.
Every 3,000 kmcheck and top up
as necessary: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use
FL Groupproducts designed and pro-
duced specially for Lancia cars (see
the “Capacities” table in the “Tech-
nical specifications” section).
ANNUAL
INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
The following annual inspection
schedule is recommended for cars
travelling less than 20,000 km a year
(e.g. approximately 10,000 km). The
schedule includes the following oper-
ations:
– Check tyre condition and wear and
adjust pressure, if required (including
spare wheel).
– Check operation of lights (head-
lights, direction indicators, hazard
lights, boot light, passenger compart-
ment ceiling light, glove compartment
light, instrument panel lights, etc.).
– Check windscreen wiper/washer
and adjust nozzles.
– Check position/wear of wind-
screen/rear window wiper blades.
– Check front brake pad conditions
and wear.– Inspect conditions of. engine, gear-
box, transmission, piping (exhaust -
fuel feed - brakes), rubber parts (boots
- sleeves - bushings - etc.), brake and
fuel line hoses.
– Check battery charge status.
– Check conditions of various con-
trol belts.
– Check and top up fluid levels (en-
gine coolant, brakes, windscreen
washer, battery, etc.).
– Change engine oil.
– Replace engine oil filter.
– Replace pollen filter (where fitted).

ENGINE COOLANT SYSTEM
(fig.s 1, 2)
IMPORTANTThe cooling system is
pressurised. If the plug must be re-
placed, replace it only with a genuine
spare part or system efficiency may be
impaired.
The coolant level must be checked
while the engine is cold and must be
between the MINandMAXmarks on
the reservoir.Do not take the cap of the
reservoir off when the en-
gine is very hot as you run
the risk of scalding yourself.
If there is not enough coolant, pour
a 50% mixture of distilled water and
FL Group PARAFLU
11liquid slowly
through the filler hole 5in the reser-
voir, until the level is near the MAX
mark.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
11
and distilled water gives freeze pro-
tection to –35 °C.WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER LIQUID (fig.s 1, 2)
To add liquid, remove cap 4then
pour in the liquid until the reservoir
is completely full.
Use a mixture of water and DP1liq-
uid in these percentages:
30%DP1and 70% water in sum-
mer.
50%DP1and 50% water in winter.
If the temperature falls below –20°C,
useDP1undiluted.
IMPORTANTDo not travel with
the windscreen washer bottle empty:
using the windscreen washer is fun-
damental for improving visibility.
Some commercial addi-
tives for windscreen
washer fluids are flamma-
ble. The engine compartment con-
tains hot parts which could ignite
the fluid if it comes into contact
with them.

WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part
with suitable liquid, DP1is recom-
mended.
Change the blades if the rubber edge
is warped or worn out. You should in
any case change them approximately
once a year.Some simple steps can reduce po-
tential damage to the blades:
– If the temperature falls to below
zero, make sure the rubber blade is
not frozen to the windscreen. If nec-
essary, free it with a de-icing com-
pound.
– Remove any snow that has settled
on the glass: besides saving the blades
you will avoid straining the electric
windscreen wiper motor and causing
it to overheat.
– Do not operate the windscreen/
rear window wipers on dry glass.
Changing the windscreen wiper
blades (fig. 8)
1)Lift windscreen wiper arm Aoff
the glass and position the blade so as
to form a right angle with the arm.
2)Press tab Bof the coupling spring
and remove the blade to be replaced
from arm A.3)Fit the new blade by inserting the
tab into the special hole in the arm.
Make sure it is properly locked into
place.
Replacing the rear window
wiper blade (fig. 9)
1)Lift the cover A.
Travelling with worn
wiper blades is dangerous
because it reduces visibil-
ity in bad weather.

2)Unscrew nut Band slide the com-
plete arm Cfrom the rotating pin.
3)Fit a new arm and fasten the nut.
Close the cover.
IMPORTANTBefore removing the
arm, mark the position of the wiper
(e.g. with felt-tip pen or adhesive
tape).SPRAY NOZZLES
If there is no jet of liquid, first make
sure that there is liquid in the reser-
voir: see “Checking fluid levels” in
this section.
Then make sure that the holes in the
nozzles(figs. 10 and11)are not
clogged up. Use a pin for this if nec-
essary.
The windscreen and rear window
washer jets can be adjusted.
The windscreen washer jet can be
adjusted by inserting a pin in the
aperture of each nozzle.
The rear window washer jet can be
adjusted by moving the nozzle-holder
with a screwdriver.CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
During the winter, the climate con-
trol system must be turned on at least
once a month for about ten minutes.
Have the system checked at a LAN-
CIA Dealershipbefore the summer.
The system uses R134a
refrigerating liquid. If it
accidentally leaks it will
not damage the environment.
Never use R12 fluid as it is incom-
patible with the system’s compo-
nents and also contains CFC.

Detergents pollute water.
The car must therefore be
washed in an area
equipped for the collection and
purification of the liquids used
while washing.
IMPORTANTThe car should be
washed while the engine is cold and
with the ignition key at STOP. After
washing the car, make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber boots
and various guards) have not been re-
moved or damaged.

Windows
Use specific window cleaners to
clean the windows. Use very clean
cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging its transparency.
IMPORTANTTo prevent damage
to the electric heater elements, wipe
the inside of the heated rear window
gently in the same direction as the el-
ements.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment. Be careful not to direct the jet
of water on the electronic control
units. Have this done at a garage.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which could cause the steel to rust.
CLEANING THE SEATS
AND FABRIC UPHOLSTERY
– Remove the dust with a soft brush
or a vacuum cleaner.
– Rub the seats with a sponge moist-
ened in a solution of water and neu-
tral detergent.
