WARNINGWhen working on the battery or near it, always wear the proper goggles. Batteries contain substances that are very harmful for the environment. You are advised to have
the battery changed at a Lancia Dealership, which is properly equipped for disposing of used
batteries respecting nature and the law.
Incorrect fitting of electrical and electronic accessories can seriously damage the car.
If after buying the car, you want to install electric accessories which require permanent electric
supply (alarm, free-hand phone kit, etc.) contact Lancia Dealership whose qualified personnel, in
addition to suggesting the most suitable devices, 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.
If the car is left inactive for long periods at cold, remove the battery and store it
in a warm place to prevent freezing.
WARNING

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.

In fact, since these devices continue absorbing
energy even when the ignition key is off, they
gradually run down the battery.The total intake of these systems (factory and after-
market) must be less than 0.6 mA x Ah (of the
battery) as shown in the following table:
