USING THE CAR AGAIN
Before using the car again after a
prolonged period of inactivity, the
following operations are recom-
mended:
– Do not dry-dust the car body.
– Check for fluid leaks (oil, brake
and clutch fluid, engine coolant
etc.).
– Change engine oil and filter.
– Check the level of:
– brake and clutch fluid
– engine coolant.
– Check the air cleaner and change
it, if required.
– Check the tyre pressure and the
tyres for signs of damage, cuts or
cracks. If this is the case, have them
replaced.
– Check the engine belt conditions.STORING THE CAR
The following precautions should
be taken if the car will not be used
for several months:
– Park the car in covered, dry and
if possible well-ventilated premises.
– Engage a gear.
– If the car is parked on flat
ground, disengage the electric park-
ing brake as described in the rele-
vant paragraph.
– Clean and protect the painted
parts using protective wax.
– Sprinkle talcum powder on the
rubber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the
glass.
– Slightly open the windows.
– Inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above
the normal specified pressure, lean
them on wood boards, if possible
and check it at intervals.– Do not switch the electronic
alarm system on.
– Remove the negative cable (-)
from the battery terminal and check
the battery charge. This check
should be performed every month if
the car is to be stored for long peri-
ods. Recharge the battery if it falls
below 12.5V.
IMPORTANT Before opening the
luggage compartment bonnet to dis-
connect the battery, carefully read
and comply with instructions con-
tained in the paragraph “If battery is
to be disconnected” in the chapter
“In an emergency”.
– Do not drain the engine cooling
system.
– Cover the car with a cloth or per-
forated plastic sheet. Do not use
sheets of non-perforated plastic as
they do not allow moisture on the
body to evaporate.

7) Start the engine.
8) When the engine has started,
remove the leads in the reverse order
to before: D, C, Band finally A.
IMPORTANT If the engine fails to
start after a few attempts, do not keep
turning the key but have the car seen
to at a Lancia Dealership.
9) Put the cover back on the bat-
tery positive terminal by fitting the
lock flanges in.
10) Put the cover back and retight-
en the knob.
11) Close the boot tailgate.IMPORTANTWhen the tailgate is
closed, the boot latch is not locked.
To lock it, turn the metal insert of
the key anticlockwise in the latch.
Do not carry out this
procedure if you lack
experience: if it is not
done correctly it can cause very
intense electrical discharges and
the battery might even explode.
Do not to put naked flames or
lighted cigarettes near the battery
and do not cause sparks: risk of
explosion and fire.
Never use a battery
charger to jump start the
engine: you could damage
the electronic system, with spe-
cial reference to ignition and
injection control unit.
BUMP STARTING
Do not bump start by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill. This
way of starting could cause a rush of
fuel into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
Remember that ifthe engine is not
running, the brake booster and the
power steering will not work. You
therefore have to use considerably
more effort on both the brake pedal
and the steering wheel.
Never connect the nega-
tive terminals of the two
batteries directly: sparks
could ignite the flammable gas
from the battery. If the auxiliary
battery is installed on another
car, prevent accidental contact
between the metal parts of the
two vehicles.
