WITH AN ARM HOIST OR A
SHOP JACK
The car can only be jacked up by
positioning the jack arms or the shop
jack in the areas shown in fig. 84. An incorrectly posi-
tioned jack may cause the
car to fall. Do not use the
jack to lift loads exceeding those
indicated on the label attached to
the jack itself.
Be very careful not to
squeeze the brake pipes,
the fuel pipes or the side
member ribbing.

JACKING THE CAR
WITH THE JACK
See “If a tyre is punctured”, in this
chapter.
Please note:
– the jack weighs 2.100 kg;
– the jack requires no adjustments;
– the jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks, it must be replaced with a
new jack.
The jack should only be
used to change a wheel on
the car for which it was
designed. It should not be put to
other uses or employed to raise
other models. Under no circum-
stances should it be used when
carrying out repairs under the
car.

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”.
