To change the 12V-5W (type C5W)
bulb, remove the lens A (fig. 28), by
pushing it in the direction of the arrow.IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL
The fuse is an element for protecting
the electrical system. It will blow (that
it will break) in the event of a failure
or incorrect interventions on the elec-
trical system.
If an electrical device is not working,
check whether the respective fuse is
blown. The conductor should not be
broken. If it is, replace it with another
with the same amperage (same
colour)(fig. 29).
A- Intact fuse.
B- Fuse with broken filament.
Use the tongs C (fig. 29-32)to re-
move the fuse to be replaced. One set
of tongs is to be found in the main
fuse box, while the other is in the en-
gine compartment fuse box.
If the problem re-occurs have the car
seen to at a LANCIA Dealership.
Do not replace a fuse
with another of a higher
amp rating - DANGER OF
FIRE!
Never replace a broken
fuse with anything other
than a new fuse. Always
use an undamaged fuse of the
same colour (same value).

While the car is being
towed with the engine off,
remember that the brake
pedal and steering will require
more effort as you no longer have
the benefit of the brake booster
and power steering. Do not use
flexible cables to tow. Avoid jerk-
ing. Whilst towing, ensure that the
coupling to the car does not dam-
age the surrounding components.Do not extract the igni-
tion key during towing;
leave it at MAR, to prevent
the steering lock engaging and,
provided the electrical system is
not damaged, keep the brake lights
and direction indicators working.
When the ignition key is re-
moved, the steering lock will cut in
thus preventing the steering wheel
from being turned.IF AN ACCIDENT
OCCURS
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved,
stop at least ten metres away from the
accident.
– If you are on a motorway do not
obstruct the emergency lane with your
car.
– Turn off the engine and turn on
the hazard lights.
– At night, illuminate the scene of
the accident with your headlights.
– Act carefully, you must not risk
being run over.
– Mark the accident by putting the
red triangle at the regulatory distance
from the car where it can be clearly
seen.
– If the doors are jammed, do not try
to leave the car by breaking the glass
of the windscreen as the glass is strat-
ified. Side windows and the rear win-
dow can be broken more easily.

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).

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.

USEFUL ADVICE
FOR LENGTHENING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
When you park the car, ensure the
doors, boot and bonnet are closed
properly. The ceiling and map-read-
ing lights must be off.
Do not leave accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a
long time when the engine is not run-
ning.
IMPORTANTIf the battery is left
with a charge of less than 50% for a
long time it will be damaged by sul-
phation, engine startup will deterio-
rate and it will be more subject to
freezing (this may occur at –10°C).
If the car is to be inactive for a long
period of time, refer to the “Storing
the car” paragraph in the “Driving
your car” section.
The liquid in the battery
is poisonous and corrosive.
Do not let it touch the skin
or eyes. Do not bring naked flames
or possible sources of sparks near
to the battery: fire and explosion
risk.
Incorrect fitting of elec-
trical and electronic ac-
cessories can seriously
damage the car.
IMPORTANTWhen removing/in-
stalling the battery, make sure the
battery is mechanically secured cor-
rectly.
Running the car with the
fluid level too low could
damage the battery beyond
repair, even breaking the casing
and allowing the acid contained in
it to leak out completely.
Always wear goggles to
protect the eyes when
working on or near the
battery.
If the car is to remain un-
used for a long period in
very cold weather, remove
the battery and keep it in a warm
place, otherwise it could freeze.
CHECKING THE BATTERY
FLUID LEVEL (electrolyte)
Check the electrolyte level and top
up, if required, at the frequency
shown in the Service Schedule in this
chapter. Have this operation carried
out at a LANCIA Dealership.
