IF BATTERY IS TO BE DISCONNECTED
Battery is housed on the left side of
the luggage compartment, protected
by cover B(fig. 79). To remove cover
unscrew knob A.
DISCONNECTING THE
LOADED BATTERY
Should the charged battery be dis-
connected (e.g. during a car inactivity
time) perform these operations in the
given order:
1) Depress the push button on the
central console or on the remote con-
trol to open the boot. 2) Depress manually the inside hook
A (fig. 80) of the boot lock, and push
it back completely until the recall
electric travel is activated.
3) Remove the cover and disconnect
battery terminals.
4) Fully turn anti-clockwise the key
into the outside bonnet lock to pull
out the locking hook (fig. 81).
5) If necessary, it is now possible to
fully close the boot, leaving the bat-
tery disconnected.
6) When the battery it to be con-
nected again, to open the bonnet, fully

turn the key anticlockwise in the lock,
and at the same time slightly press the
lower edge of the number plate holder
to reduce operation effort (fig. 81).
7) Connect battery terminals and as-
semble the cover again.
8) Depress push button A(fig. 81)
to restore normal lock operation.
9) Normally close the boot without
slamming it down; the lock electric
servo control will fully lock it.
10) Perform the initialisation of the
door lock, air conditioner and ESP
system control units, described below.

303
DISCONNECTING THE
UNLOADED BATTERY
Should the discharged battery be
disconnected (to have it charged
again or to replace it) perform the fol-
lowing operations in the given order:
1) To open the boot from the out-
side, fully turn the key anticlockwise
in the lock (fig. 81), and at the same
time slightly press the lower edge of
the number plate holder to reduce op-
eration effort.
2) Remove the cover and disconnect
the battery terminals.
3) Fully charge the battery again or
replace it.4) Connect battery terminals and re-
assemble cover.
5) Depress push button A(fig. 81)
to restore normal lock operation.
6) Close boot normally without
slamming it down: lock electric servo
control will fully lock it.
7) Perform the initialisation proce-
dure of the door lock, air conditioner
and ESP system control units, here-
after described.INITIALISING THE CONTROL
UNITS OF THE DOOR LOCKS,
AIR CONDITIONER AND ESP
SYSTEM
Whenever the battery is connected
electrically or protection fuses are re-
placed, to restore correct door locking,
air conditioning and ESP system, per-
form the following operations (after
connection is performed or after re-
placing one of the fuses):
1) Enter key into the lock of one of
the front doors and perform a door
centralised opening/closing cycle.
2) Start the engine and turn on the
compressor of the conditioner, setting
a lower temperature value than that
of the environment and check
whether the led on the disconnection
push button of the conditioner com-
pressor òis lit.
3) Start running the car and drive it
for a few meters in a straight line (ac-
celerating), until the ESP warning
light is off
á. It is not possible to close
the boot when battery is
discharged or discon-
nected for the purpose of being re-
placed/ charged again: do not try
to close the boot by slamming it
down. The boot remains anyhow
hooked on and it must be re-
opened by turning the key in the
lock.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is
essential for ensuring it stays in tip-
top condition for a long time to
come.
This is why LANCIA has pro-
grammed a number of service oper-
ations every 20,000 kilometres:
IMPORTANTThe Manufacturer
requires the Service Schedule
coupon related checks to be carried
out. Failure to do so could result in
the warranty being cancelled for
those defects that can be attributed
to such failure.Scheduled Servicing is performed
at all Lancia Dealershipsand
there is a set time scale for such
operations.
If it is seen that further replace-
ments or repairs are necessary in
addition to the work being carried
out, these will only be done after the
customer has given his/her consent.IMPORTANTYou are recom-
mended to get in touch with a
Lancia Dealershipimmediately if
any minor running problems crop
up without waiting for the next
coupon.

315
Do not smoke while
working in the engine
compartment: the pres-
ence of flammable gas and
vapour could cause a fire.
Be careful not to mix up
the various types of fluids
when you are topping up:
they are all mutually incompati-
ble and could damage the car.
Maintenance of your car
should be entrusted to a
Lancia Dealership. For
ordinary routine maintenance
operations which you are able to
carry out yourself, ensure that
you have the necessary tools and
original Lancia spare parts and
fluids available. Do not carry out
servicing operations if you have
no experience.IMPORTANT - Engine oil
If the car is normally driven in one
of the following particularly severe
conditions:
– towing a trailer
– on dirty roads
– for short, repeated trips (less
than 7-8 km) with outside tempera-
ture below zero
– with engine frequently idling or
for long distances at low speed (e.g.
taxi, door-to-door deliveries) or pro-
longed storage
change the engine oil more frequent-
ly than shown in the Service
Schedule.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
Replace the air cleaner more fre-
quently than shown in the Service
Schedule if the car is used on dusty
roads.
If you are in doubt about how often
the engine oil or the air cleaner
should be changed in relation to how
you use the car, contact a Lancia
Dealership.

316
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
The different grades of purity in
diesel fuel normally available might
make it necessary to replace the fil-
ter more frequently than indicated
in the Service Schedule. If the engine
misfires it shows the filter needs
changing.IMPORTANT - Dust/pollen filter
If the car is often used in dusty or
extremely polluted environments,
you should change the filter element
more frequently. It should be
changed especially if the amount of
air introduced into the passenger
compartment is reduced.IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in your battery should
be checked, where possible at the
start of the winter, to limit the risk
of the battery electrolyte freezing.
This check should be carried out
more frequently if the car is mainly
used for short trips or if it is fitted
with accessories that permanently
take in electricity even when the
ignition key is removed, especially in
the case of after market accessories.
If the car is used in very hot cli-
mates or particularly demanding
conditions check the battery elec-
trolyte more frequently than shown
in the “Service Schedule” in the
“Car maintenance” chapter.

325
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.
