SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been at-
tached near or actually on some of the
components of your Lancia Y. These
labels bear symbols that remind you
of the precautions to be taken as re-
gards that particular component.
A list of the symbols to be found on
your Lancia Y is given below with the
name of the component to which it re-
lates at the side of it.
These symbols are divided into the
following four categories: danger, pro-
hibition, warning and obligation.DANGER SYMBOLS

May cut in automatically
when the engine is off.

WARNING LIGHTS
The warning lights will come on in
the following cases:
LOW ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE (red)
When the pressure of the
engine oil falls below the normal level.
When the key is turned to MAR, the
light comes on but should go out the
moment the engine is started.
A delay in the light going out is only
acceptable if the engine is idling.
If the engine has been taxed heavily,
the light might flash when idling but
should go out on accelerating slightly.
v
BATTERY NOT
RECHARGED
PROPERLY (red)
When there is a fault in the current
generating system.
Contact a LANCIA Dealership as
soon as possible to prevent draining
the battery.
The warning lamp will light up when
the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
should go out as soon as the engine
has started.
w
If the warning lamp v
lights up while the car is
moving, switch the engine
off and get in touch with a LANCIA
Dealership.
HANDBRAKE ON/
LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL (red)
In three cases:
1.When the handbrake is engaged.
2.When the brake fluid level falls be-
low the minimum.
3.With the >warning light to indi-
cate an EBD electronic brake force
corrector failure.
x
If the xwarning light
comes on when travelling,
check whether the hand-
brake is engaged. If the warning
light stays on and the handbrake
is not engaged, stop immediately
and contact a LANCIA Dealership.
AIRBAG MALFUNCTION
(red)
When the system is ineffi-
cient.
û
The instrument panel
warning light should come
on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR and go out after ap-
proximately four seconds. Imme-
diately contact a LANCIA Dealer-
ship if the warning light either
does not come on or stays on when
travelling.
DOORS NOT CLOSED
PROPERLY (red)
When a door is not fully
closed.

AT THE FILLING
STATION
FUEL
Fill petrol engine cars only with un-
leaded petrol with a minimum octane
number of 95.
Fuel tank capacity: 45 litres includ-
ing a reserve of 5 - 8 litres.Never put even the tiniest
amount of leaded fuel in
the tank, even in an emer-
gency. You would damage the cat-
alytic converter beyond repair.
ENGINE OIL
Check the level: see the “Car main-
tenance” section.
The distance between the MINand
MAXmarks on the dipstick is equiv-
alent to about one litre of oil.
Use SAE 10W-40 oil for tempera-
tures down to –25°C.
For temperatures lower than –20°C,
we recommend using SELENIA
PERFORMERSAE 5W-30.Refer to the “Technical specifica-
tions” section for other information.

refer to the “Technical specifications”
section.
An inefficient catalytic
converter will allow harm-
ful exhaust fumes to be
emitted and thus contribute to the
pollution of the air.

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.

REPEATED CHECKS
AND CHECKS
BEFORE LONG
TRIPS
Periodically, remember to check:
– tyre pressure and condition
– engine oil level
– coolant level and condition of the
system
– brake fluid level
– windscreen washer liquid level
– power steering fluid level.
ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND CELL PHONES
Cell phones and other ra-
dio transmitters (e.g. CB radios) can-
not be used inside the car, unless you
use a separate aerial mounted outside
the car.
– Clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds avail-
able on the market.
– Sprinkle talcum powder on the
rubber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the
glass.
– Slightly open the windows.
– Cover the car with a cloth or per-
forated plastic sheet. Do not use
sheets of imperforated plastic as they
do not allow moisture on the car body
to evaporate.
– Inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above
the normal specified pressure and
check it at intervals.
– Do not drain the engine cooling
system.

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

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).
