AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner is connected to the
air temperature and intake sensors
which send the electrical signals
required for the correct operation of
the injection and ignition system to
the control unit.
Consequently, the cleaner must
always be in perfect conditions to
ensure correct operation of the
engine and in order to contain con-
sumption and exhaust emissions.Replace the air cleaner
more frequently than
shown in the Service
Schedule if the car is used on
dusty roads.
The cleaner can be dam-
aged if it is cleaned and
consequently the engine
can be damaged.
DIESEL FILTER
(JTD versions)
DRAINING THE
CONDENSE
The presence of water in
the fuel feed circuit can
severely damage the
injection system and make the
engine misfire. Go to a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible
when the cwarning light comes
on together with message
“WATER IN DIESEL FILTER” on
the multifunction display to have
the bleeding operation carried
out.
The air cleaner replace-
ment procedure is pro-
vided for indicative pur-
poses only. Have the operation
carried out at a Lancia
Dealership. Car safety can be
compromised if the cleaner
replacement procedure herein
described is not carried out cor-
rectly.
