CAR MAINTENANCE
The Lancia Y is brand new throughout, even in
its servicing schedule. Its design and manufactur-
ing process have made the traditional check at
1,500 kilometres unnecessary, which means its
first service schedule coupon is to be used at
20,000 kilometres. Your car, however, still re-
quires a certain amount of care and attention e.g.
the various fluid/liquid levels and tyre pressure
must be systematically checked and topped up if
necessary.
You should nonetheless bear in mind that proper
car maintenance is certainly the best way to keep
your car in tip-top condition for years to come and
safeguard its safety features, its environmentally-
friendly nature and its cheap running costs.
Also remember that the following servicing reg-
ulations marked with the symbol ∑are essential
to ensure the warranty remains valid.SCHEDULED SERVICING ............................. 121

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.
