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.

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.

333
RUBBER
TUBING
Follow the Service Schedule to the
letter as concerns braking, power
steering and fuel line rubber tubing.
Ozone, high temperatures and long
absence of fluid in the system can in
fact cause the hardening and crack-
ing of the pipes with possible loss of
fluid. A careful check is therefore
essential.
WINDSCREEN
WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part
with suitable products. We recom-
mendTUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35.
Change the blades if the rubber
edge is warped or worn out. You
should in any case change them
approximately once a year.
Some simple steps can reduce
potential damage to the blades:
– If the temperatures falls to below
zero, make sure the rubber blade is
not frozen to the windscreen. If nec-
essary, free it with a de-icing com-
pound.
– Remove any snow that has settled
on the glass: besides saving the
blades you will avoid straining the
electric windscreen wiper motor and
causing it to overheat.
– Do not operate the windscreen
wipers on dry glass.Travelling with worn
wiper blades is dangerous
because it reduces visibil-
ity in bad weather.
Checking the blades
Before checking, clean the wind-
screen and rubber blades carefully
with warm water and soap or with
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35
windscreen washing fluid. The
windscreen should be perfectly clean
and not greasy. If required, complete
the cleaning operation with degreas-
ing products (ammonia based) or
degreasing polishes.

339
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment without directing the water jet
against electronic control units.
Have this done at a garage.
Detergents pollute water.
For this reason the car
must be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.
IMPORTANTThe car should
washed with the engine cold and the
ignition key at STOP. After washing
make sure that the various protec-
tions (e.g. rubber caps and various
covers) have not been damaged or
removed.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas,
etc.) which could cause the steel to
rust.
Never use inflammable
products like fuel oil
ether or rectified petrol
for cleaning inside the car. The
electrostatic discharges generat-
ed when rubbing to clean may
cause fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans
in the car. There is the
risk they might explode.
Aerosol cans must never be
exposed to a temperature above
50°C; when the weather starts to
get hot the temperature inside the
car might go well beyond that fig-
ure.
PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE
THE CAR
Use special products designed not
to alter the appearance of the com-
ponents.
IMPORTANTDo not use alcohol
or petrol to clean the instrument
panel.
CLEANING ALCANTARA
SEATS
Alcantara upholstery is easy to
clean. Follow the same instructions
provided for velvet upholstery.
