body protection and outside body-
work, piping (exhaust - fuel lines -
brake lines), rubber parts (boots -
sleeves - bushings, etc.), brake and
fuel line hoses5) check for bonnet and boot lock
cleanness, lever cleanness and lubri-
cation
6) Check primary and secondary

Oil consumption is ex-
tremely low. If the oil level
needs topping up again af-
ter a short period of time, have the
system checked for leakage at a
Lancia Dealership.BRAKE AND HYDRAULIC
CLUTCH FLUID (fig. 16)
Unscrew cap A: check that the fluid
level in the reservoir is at maximum.
Fluid level in the reservoir shall not
exceed the MAXmark.
If fluid has to be added, it is sug-
gested to use the brake fluid in table
"Fluids and lubricants" (see chapter
"Technical characteristics").
NOTEClean accurately the tank cap
Aand the surrounding surface.
Prevent brake fluid, which
is highly corrosive, from
coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
Do not let the power
steering fluid come into
contact with hot engine
parts. It catches fire very easily.

– Refit hose C.
– Refit cap Aand check for seal
proper positioning into its seat, then
secure the cap with screws B.At plug opening, pay maximum at-
tention in order to prevent any impu-
rities from entering the tank.
For topping up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh equal
to or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs
moisture, for this reason, if the car is
mainly used in areas with a high de-
gree of atmospheric humidity, the
fluid should be replaced at more fre-
quent intervals than specified in the
“Service schedule”.

WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW/HEADLIGHT
WASHER FLUID (fig. 17)
To top up, remove cap Aand filler
B.
Pour in a mixture of water and
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35
fluid in the following concentrations:
– 30% of the above specified fluid
and 70% water in summer
– 50% of the above specified fluid
and 50% water in winter
– if the temperature falls below –20
°C use TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35undiluted.Certain commercial
additives for windscreen
washers are inflammable.
The engine compartment con-
tains hot components which may
set it on fire.
Do not travel with the
windscreen washer reser-
voir empty. The wind-
screen washer is fundamental for
improving visibility.
fig. 17
L0A0295b
To prevent damages to
the pump motor, do not
use the windscreen/rear
window/headlight washers when
the reservoir is empty.
The symbol πon the
container indicates syn-
thetic brake fluid, distin-
guishing it from the mineral kind.
Using mineral fluids irreversibly
damages the special braking sys-
tem rubber seals.
Brake fluid is poisonous
and highly corrosive. In
the event of accidental
contact, wash the parts involved
immediately with neutral soap and
water, then rinse thoroughly. Call
the doctor immediately if the fluid
is swallowed.
