WARNING
Do not start the engine when towing the car.
WARNING
While the car is being towed with the
engine off, remember that the brake pedal
and steering will require more effort as
you no longer have the benefit of the brake
booster and the electrical power steering.
Do not use flexible cables to tow. Avoid
jerking. Whilst towing, ensure that the
coupling to the car does not damage the
surrounding components. When towing the
car, you must comply with the specific
traffic regulations regarding the tow hitch
and how to tow on the road. TOW RING HOOKING
Proceed as follows:
❒take the tow ring B from its support;
❒tighten the ring on the rear or front threaded pin.
Before starting to tow, turn the ignition
key to MAR and then to STOP. Do not
remove the key. If the key is removed, the
steering lock engages automatically which
prevents the wheels being turned.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long
car life under the best conditions.
This is why Lancia has programmed a series of
checks and maintenance operations every 20,000
km.
It is however important to remember that scheduled
servicing does not completely cover all the car’s
requirements: also in the initial period before
20,000 km service coupon and later, between one
coupon and another, ordinary care is still required
such as for example routine check and topping up
the level of fluids, tyre pressure check, etc...
IMPORTANT The Programmed Maintenance
coupons are specified by the Manufacturer. The
failure to have them carried out may invalidate the
warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Lancia
Dealership, at pre-established times.If during each operation, in addition to the ones
programmed, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be carried out
only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact Lancia
Dealership in the event of any minor operating
faults, without waiting for the next service coupon.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the
interval between one service coupon and the other
must be reduced.

following specially heavy conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) repeated and
with external temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long distance low
speed driving (e.g. taxis or door-to-door
deliveries) or in case of a long term inactivity;
replace engine oil more frequently than required on
“Service schedule”.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
If the car is used on dusty roads change the air
cleaner more frequently than the indications in the
“Service schedule”.
If in doubt as to how often the engine oil and air
cleaner should be changed according to how you use
the car, contact a Lancia Dealership.IMPORTANT - Pollen filter

polluted environments it is advisable to replace the
filtering element more frequently; in particular it
should be replaced if a reduction of the amount of
air admitted to the passenger compartment is noted.

The possibility of topping up with diesel fuel not
complying with EN590 European Norm might
make it necessary to replace the filter more
frequently than indicated in the “Service schedule”.
