ENGINE OIL (fig.s 1, 2)
Check the oil level a few minutes
(approx. 5) after the engine has
stopped with the car parked on level
ground.
The oil level must be between the
MINandMAXmarks on the dipstick.
The space between MINandMAX
corresponds to approximately one
litre of oil.If the oil level is near or even below
theMINmark, pour in oil through
the filler hole until it reaches the MAX
mark.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAXmark.
IMPORTANTIf following a regular
check the oil level is over the MAX
line, go to a LANCIA Dealershipto
have the correct level restored.
IMPORTANTAfter adding or
changing the oil, let the engine turn
over for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after turning it off before you
check the level.ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
During the beginning of the car’s life
the engine is be tuned in. Engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.
IMPORTANTOil consumption de-
pends on the driving style and the
conditions of use.
When the engine is hot,
operate very carefully in-
side the engine compart-
ment: danger of burns. Remember
that, when the engine is hot, the
electric fan could start operating:
danger of injuries.
Do not add oil with dif-
ferent specifications from
the oil already in the en-
gine.
Used engine oil and re-
placed oil filters contain
substances that can harm
the environment. We recommend
you have the car seen to at a LAN-
CIA Dealership for the oil and fil-
ter change. It is suitably equipped
for disposing of used oil and filters
in an environmentally-friendly
way that complies with the law.

POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
FLUID (fig.s 1, 2)
Check the fluid level is not below the
MINmark visible on the reservoir
with the engine cold.
If necessary, add fluid making sure
that it has the same specifications as
the fluid in the reservoir.BRAKE FLUID (fig.s 1, 2)
Check that the fluid level in the
reservoir is at maximum level.
Periodically check that the warning
light on the instrument panel is work-
ing properly by pressing on the reser-
voir cover with the key at MAR.
Warning light
xshould come on.
If you need to add fluid, only use the
type classified DOT4. You are advised
in particular to use TUTELA TOP 4
with which the braking system was
originally filled.
Symbolπon the con-
tainer indicates synthetic
type brake fluid distin-
guishing it from the mineral kind.
Using mineral type fluids damages
the special rubber braking system
gaskets beyond repair.
Make sure the power-as-
sisted steering fluid does
not come into contact with
hot parts of the engine as it catches
fire very easily.
Do not push on the power
steering limit switch for
more than 15 seconds with
the engine running. This causes
noise and could damage the sys-
tem.Oil consumption is ex-
tremely low. If further top-
ping up is required soon
after the initial top-up, have the
system checked over at a LANCIA
Dealership for leaks.
