ENGINE OIL
Checking engine oil
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the engine has
stopped, with the car parked on level ground.
Check that the level is within the MIN and MAX marks on the
dipstick. The interval between the MIN and MAX marks corresponds
to about one litre of oil.
Topping up engine oil
If the oil level is near or even below the MIN mark, add oil through
the filler neck, until reaching the MAX mark. Oil level shall never
exceed the MAX mark.
IMPORTANT If a routine check reveals that the oil level is above the
MAX mark, contact Lancia Dealership to have the correct level
restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the engine turn
over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after turning it off
before you check the level.

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
The coolant level shall be checked with cold engine and shall be
included between the MIN and MAX mark on the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture of 50% distilled water and
50% FL Selenia PARAFLU UP through the filler neck.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP and distilled water gives freeze
protection to –35°C.
IMPORTANT Do not remove the reservoir cap when the engine is hot:
you risk scalding yourself.

To have the oil level checked contact Lancia Dealership only.
WARNING
The cooling system uses PARAFLU UP antifreeze. Do not add fluid having
different specifications from that already existing. PARAFLU UP cannot be mixed
with other types of fluids. Should other fluids be added, do not start the engine
and contact Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
The cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, replace the cap only with another
genuine one, otherwise system efficiency could be compromised.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and lengthen its life,
observe the following indications:
❒when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate
and bonnet are closed properly;
❒the ceiling lights must be off. The car is however
provided with an automatic system for switching
off internal lights;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g.: sound system,
hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the electrical
system, disconnect the battery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be perfectly
tightened.IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at a charge of
less than 50% (optical indicator with dark colour
without green area in the middle) for any length of
time will be damaged by sulphation leading to a
reduction in cranking power. Moreover, this might
lead to a higher risk of the battery electrolyte
freezing (this may even occur at -10°C).
If the car is left inactive for a long period of time,
refer to “Car inactivity”, in section “Correct use of
the car”.
If after buying the car, you want to install electric
accessories which require permanent electric supply
(alarm, free-hands set, etc.) contact Lancia
Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices of the
Lineaccessori Lancia, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the car’s
electric system is capable of withstanding the load
required, or whether it should be integrated with a
more powerful battery.
