RECHARGING THE BATTERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is pro-
vided as an example only. You are recommended to go to
a Lancia Dealership to have this operation performed.
We recommend recharging the battery slowly for approx-
imately 24 hours at low amperage. A prolonged recharge
might damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
disconnect the battery negative terminal;
connect the charger leads to the battery terminals, ob-
serving the polarity;
turn on the charger;
when you have finished, turn the charger off before
disconnecting the battery;
reconnect battery negative terminal.
Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and eyes. The
battery recharging operation must be per-
formed in a ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks to avoid the risk
of explosion and fire.
Don’t try to recharge a frozen battery: defrost
it first to prevent the risk of explosion. If a
battery was frozen, have it inspected by spe-
cialised personnel before recharging to check that the
internal elements are not damaged and that the cas-
ing is not cracked causing the risk of leakage of poi-
sonous, corrosive gas.
LIFTING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Lancia Dealership equipped
with an arm hoist or workshop lift.

196IN AN EMERGENCY
TOWING THE CAR
The tow ring provided with the car is housed in the tool
box under the luggage compartment mat.
FASTENING THE TOW RING fig. 43-44
Proceed as follows:
release cap A;
take the tow hook B from its seat in the tool support;
tighten the ring on the rear or front threaded pin.
fig. 43L0E0090mfig. 44L0E0091m
Before starting towing operations, turn the ig-
nition key to MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is extracted, the steer-
ing wheel lock will be automatically activated, thus
preventing steering. The power brakes and the elec-
trical power steering will not work while the car is be-
ing towed. More effort on the brake pedal and steer-
ing wheel will therefore be required. Do not use wires
for towing. Do not jerk. Make sure not to damage parts
in contact with the car while towing. Respect the spe-
cific rules of the Highway Code when towing the car
specifically in relation to the towing device and the be-
haviour to maintain on the road. Do not start the en-
gine while towing the car.

198CARE AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car life
under the best conditions.
Lancia has prepared a series of checks and service oper-
ations to be carried out every 30,000 kilometres (for petrol
versions) or every 35,000 kilometres (for diesel versions).
Scheduled servicing will not however fully cover all of the
needs of your car: also in the initial period before the
30,000/35,000 km service and later, between one ser-
vice and another, ordinary care is still required such as
routine checks, topping up the fluid levels,checking tyre
pressure, etc.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Services are required by the man-
ufacturer. Failure to carry them out may invalidate the
warranty.Scheduled Services are offered by all Lancia Dealerships
according to a set time schedule.
If during each operation, in addition to the scheduled ones,
the need arises for further replacements or repairs, these
may be carried out only with the explicit agreement of the
Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact a Lancia Deal-
ership in the event of any minor operating faults, with-
out waiting for the next service.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval be-
tween one service and the next should be reduced.
