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.

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.

Batteries contain sub-
stances that are very
harmful for the environ-
ment. You are advised to have the
battery changed at a Lancia
Dealership. It is properly
equipped for disposing of used
batteries in an environmentally-
friendly way that complies with
the law.
With the battery flat, or
after the interruption of
one of the protection
fuses, or if you want to disconnect
a loaded battery (e.g. for a car
stop period), before opening the
luggage compartment bonnet
carefully read and comply with
the instructions contained in the
paragraph “If battery is to be dis-
connected” in the chapter “In an
emergency”.
DUST/POLLEN
FILTER
This filter has a mechanical/elec-
trostatic air filtering action, provid-
ed that windows and doors are
closed.
Have the dust/pollen filter checked
once a year at a Lancia Dealership,
preferably at the onset of summer.
If the car is often used in dusty or
extremely polluted environments,
have the filter replaced more fre-
quently than specified in the Service
Schedule.
IMPORTANTFailure to replace
this filter can significantly reduce
climate control system effectiveness.
BATTERY
The battery is of the “Low
Maintenance” type and is fitted with
an indicator A(fig. 18) for checking
the electrolyte level and battery
charge.
Under normal condition of use top-
ping up the electrolyte with distilled
water is therefore not required. A
periodical check is however neces-
sary to make sure it is in efficient
conditions through the indicator on
the battery cover which should be
dark in colour with a green central
area.If the indicator is a bright colour,
or dark without the green central
area, contact a Lancia Dealership.

Outside plastic parts must be
cleaned following the usual car
washing procedure.
Where possible avoid parking the
car under trees; the resinous sub-
stance that certain species of tree
shed dull the paintwork and increase
the possibility of rust forming.
IMPORTANTBird droppings
must be washed off immediately and
with great care as their acid is par-
ticularly aggressive.
Windows
Use specific window cleaners to
clean the windows. Use very clean
cloths to avoid scratching the glass
or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANTTo prevent damage
to the electric heater element, wipe
the inside of the heated rear window
gently in the same direction as the
elements. To wash the car properly:
1) Remove the aerial from the roof
to prevent damaging it when wash-
ing the car in an automatic carwash.
2) Wash the body using a low pres-
sure jet of water.
3) Wipe a sponge with a light neu-
tral PH detergent solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing the
sponge.
4) Rinse well with water and dry
with a jet of air or a chamois leather.
When drying the car, be careful to
get at those parts which are not so
easily seen e.g. the door frames, bon-
net and around the headlights where
water can most readily collect.
You should leave the car out in the
open so that any water remaining
can evaporate more easily.
Do not wash the car after it has
been parked in the sun or while the
bonnet is hot: it could take the shine
off the paint. Cleaning chromium
plated/anodized bodywork parts
To clean body parts such as mold-
ings, cappings, etc., use neutral pH
detergents. Avoid generic cleaning
products.
These parts shall be rinsed well with
water and then dried with a jet of air
or a chamois leather.
For further treatment use special
polish for chromium plated/anodized
parts.
Suitable car cleaning products are
available at Lancia Dealerships.
