CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
AND POLLUTION
Some suggestions which may help
you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of
toxic emissions released into the at-
mosphere are given below.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
The overall state of the car is an im-
portant factor which has a marked in-
fluence over fuel consumption and
driving comfort and on the life span
of your car. For this reason care
should be taken to maintain your ve-
hicle by carrying out the necessary
checks and regulations in accordance
with the specifications given in the
Servize Schedule (see spark plugs,
idle, air filters, timing sections).Tyres
Tyres should be checked at least
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low fuel consumption increases as the
resistance to the rolling movement of
the tyre is greater. In this state, tyre
wear is increased and car handling
suffers which will affect safety.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the
car (especially when driving in town)
and its trim greatly affects consump-
tion and stability.
Roof/ski racks
Remove roof or ski racks from the
roof of the car as soon as they are no
longer needed. These accessories re-
duce the aerodynamic penetration of
the car and will increase consump-
tion. When transporting particularly
large objects, use a trailer where pos-
sible.Electrical devices
Use the electrical devices for the nec-
essary time only. The heated rear win-
dow, supplementary lights, wind-
screen wipers, heating system blower
require large amounts of energy and,
increasing the request for power also
increases fuel consumption (up to
+25% when driving in built-up areas).
Air conditioner
The air conditioner is an additional
load which greatly affects the engine
leading to higher consumption (on av-
erage up to +20%). When the tem-
perature outside the car permits it,
use the air vents where possible.
Spoilers
The use of aerodynamic optional ex-
tras which are not certified for specific
use on the car, may reduce the aero-
dynamic penetration of the car and
increase consumption.

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).

Integrated electronic injection and
ignition system: a single electronic
control unit controls both functions.
It processes both the time the injec-
tion lasts (for fuel metering) and the
spark advance angle.

– Method of measuring the amount
of aspirated air for petrol metering:
“Speed density” (*).
– “Closed loop”: information on
combustion for correct petrol meter-
ing achieved by means of two lambda
sensors (one upstream and the other
downstream with respect to the catal-
yser).– Electric petrol pump: in-tank.
– Injection pressure: ......... 3.5 bar.
– Air cleaner: dry-type with paper
filter element.

and from the air temperature and absolute pres-
sure sensors in the intake manifold (density).
LUBRICATION
Forced-fed with gear pump with
pressure relief valve incorporated.
Oil purification through full-flow
cartridge filter.
COOLING
Cooling system with radiator, cen-
trifugal pump and expansion tank.
“Fixed by-pass” thermostat(1.2 en-
gine)” on the secondary circuit for the
recirculation of water from the engine
to the radiator.
Electric fan for radiator cooling on
the radiator with switching on/off
controlled by thermostatic switch lo-
cated on the radiator. Modifications or repairs
to the fuel feed system that
are not carried out prop-
erly or do not take the system’s
technical specifications into ac-
count can cause malfunctions with
the risk of fire.
