WINDOW WASHING
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
This device can only work when the ignition key is at MAR.
The stalk can be moved to five different positions:
A windscreen wiper off
B flick wipe.
With the stalk in position B, turning the knurled ring F, four possible
intermittent speeds are obtained:
,= very slow intermittent
--= slow intermittent
---= intermittent medium
----= fast intermittent
C continuous slow;
D continuous fast;
E fast temporary (unstable position).
Operation in position E is limited to the time the lever is held in this
position. When the lever is released, it returns to position A
automatically stopping the wiper.
IMPORTANT Change blades as indicated in section
“Car Maintenance”.
Never use the window wiper to remove ice or snow from the windscreen. In these conditions, the
wiper is submitted to excessive effort that results in motor protection cutting in and wiper
operation inhibition for few seconds as a consequence. If operation is not restored contact Lancia
Dealership.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be noted:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-
ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❒disconnect battery terminals (first disconnect the
negative terminal) and check the battery charge.
This check is to be repeated every three months
when the car is left inactive. Recharge if the
optical indicator shows a dark colour without the
central green area;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds readily available;❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper blades and
lift them off the glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic
as they do not allow moisture on the car body to
evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the normal
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery from the
electric system, check its charge every month
and recharge it if the optical indicator shows a
dark colour without the central green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.

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.

WARNINGDriving with worn wiper blades is a serious hazard, because visibility is reduced
in bad weather.

Changing the windscreen wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the windscreen wiper arm A and position the blade so that it
forms an angle of 90° with the arm;
❒press tab B of the coupling spring and remove the blade to be
replaced from the arm A;
❒fit the new blade by inserting the tab into the special slot in the
arm. Make sure it is properly locked into place.
Changing the rear window blade
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the cover A and remove the arm from the car, slackening the
nut B that fastens it to the pivot pin;
❒fit the new arm, positioning it correctly, and fully tighten the nut;
❒lower the cover.
