amberCLUTCH OVERHEATING (amber) (where provided)
The instrument panel warning light will come on (together with the
message on multifunction display and the buzzer) to indicate clutch
overheating when using the Dual FuNction System gearbox.
When the car is parked facing uphill, to safeguard clutch efficiency do not use the accelerator to
keep the car still since clutch overheating could damage it. Use the brake pedal and press the
accelerator pedal only when deciding to move off.
If the warning light continues to stay on (together with the message on the
multifunction display), contact Lancia Dealership.

IMPORTANT Do not use the quick repairing kit if
the tyre is damaged due to driving with the wheel
flattened.IT SHOULD BE NOTICED THAT:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is
effective with external temperatures between –20 °C
and +50 °C.
The sealing fluid has limited life.
In the event of a puncture caused by foreign bodies, it is possible to repair tyres showing damages
on the track or shoulder up to max 4 mm diameter.
The compressor shall not be operated for more than 20 minutes. Risk of
overheating!. Tyres repaired with the quick tyre repair kit shall be used
temporarily only.WARNING
Repairs are not possible in case of damages on the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove foreign bodies (screws or nails) from
the tyre.WARNING
Holes and damages on the tyre side walls cannot be repaired. Do not use the
quick tyre repair kit if damaging is due to running with flat tyre.WARNING

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are
concerned, carefully follow the “Service schedule”
in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and prolonged
lack of fluid in the system may cause hardening and
cracking of the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful
control is therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn they should be
replaced. In any case they should be changed once a
year.
A few simple notions can reduce the possibility of
damage to the blades:
❒if the temperature fall below zero, make sure
that ice has not frozen the rubber against glass.
If necessary, thaw using an antifreeze product;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in addition to
protecting the blades, this prevents effort on the
motor and overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and rear window
wipers on dry glass.

Windows
Use specific window cleaner products. Use also
clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the rearscreen should be
wiped gently with a cloth in the direction of the
filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.:
petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front
headlight plastic lens.Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine compartment
should be carefully washed, without directing the jet
against electronic control units. Contact a
specialised workshop to have this done.
IMPORTANT Washing should be carried out with
the engine cold and the ignition key at STOP. After
washing make sure that the various protections
(e.g.: rubber caps and various covers) have not been
damaged or removed.
Never use flammable products like oil ether or rectified petrol for cleaning car
interiors. Electrostatic discharges generated by rubbing during cleaning
operations could cause fire.
