ADDITIONAL
CHECKS
Every 1,000 kmor before long
trips, check and top up as necessary:
– engine coolant level
– brake/hydraulic clutchfluid
level
– power steering fluid level
– windscreen/rear window and
headlight washer fluid level
– tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 kmcheck the engine
oil level and top up as necessary.
You are recommended to use FL
Seleniaproducts that are designed
and produced specifically for LAN-
CIA cars (see “Capacities” in
“Technical Specifications”).
ANNUAL
INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
The following annual inspection
schedule is recommended for
cars travelling less than 20,000
km a year (e.g. approximately
10,000 km). The schedule
includes the following opera-
tions:
1) Check tyre condition and wear
and adjust pressure (including spare
wheel)
2) Check wear on windscreen/rear
window blades
3) Check rear disc brake pad con-
ditions and wear
4) Inspect conditions of: under-
body protection and outside body-
work, piping (exhaust - fuel lines -
brake lines), rubber parts (boots -
sleeves - bushings, etc.), brake and
fuel line hoses5) check for bonnet and boot lock
cleanness, lever cleanness and lubri-
cation
6) Check primary and secondary
battery charge status
7) Check conditions of various con-
trol belts
8) Check and top up fluid levels
(engine coolant, brakes, windscreen
washer, battery, etc.)
9) Change engine oil
10) Replace engine oil filter
11) Replace dust/pollen filter.

WASHER FLUID (fig. 17)
To top up, remove cap Aand filler
B.
Pour in a mixture of water and
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35
fluid in the following concentrations:
– 30% of the above specified fluid
and 70% water in summer
– 50% of the above specified fluid
and 50% water in winter
– if the temperature falls below –20
°C use TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35undiluted.Certain commercial
additives for windscreen
washers are inflammable.
The engine compartment con-
tains hot components which may
set it on fire.
Do not travel with the
windscreen washer reser-
voir empty. The wind-
screen washer is fundamental for
improving visibility.

To prevent damages to
the pump motor, do not
use the windscreen/rear
window/headlight washers when
the reservoir is empty.
The symbol πon the
container indicates syn-
thetic brake fluid, distin-
guishing it from the mineral kind.
Using mineral fluids irreversibly
damages the special braking sys-
tem rubber seals.
Brake fluid is poisonous
and highly corrosive. In
the event of accidental
contact, wash the parts involved
immediately with neutral soap and
water, then rinse thoroughly. Call
the doctor immediately if the fluid
is swallowed.

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.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To prevent rapidly draining the
battery and ensure that it continues
to work correctly, the following
should be noted:
– Terminals must always be firmly
tightened.
– Do not keep accessories (e.g.
sound system, hazard lights, parking
lights, etc.).
– When you park the car, ensure
the doors, boot and bonnet are
closed properly. The ceiling lights
must be off.
– Before working on the electrical
system, disconnect the negative
cable from the battery.– If after buying the car, you want
to install electric accessories which
require permanent electric supply,
visit a Lancia Dealership, whose
qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices
belonging to 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. These devices in fact take
electricity also when the ignition key
is removed (car parked, engine off),
and can gradually drain the battery.
The overall intake of these devices
(standard and after-market) must
be less than 0.6 mA x Ah (of the bat-
tery), as shown in the following
table.Battery Maximum
idle intake
70 Ah 42 mA
80 Ah 48 mA
100 Ah 60 mA
It is also important to remember
that high intake devices (such as
bottle warmers, vacuum cleaners,
cellular phones, frigo bar, etc.) will
speed up battery discharging when
powered with engine off or running
idle.
– Please note that when installing
additional systems in the car, incor-
rect wiring can be dangerous espe-
cially when concerning safety sys-
tems.
