REGULAR INSPECTIONS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and top
up if required:
engine coolant fluid level;
brake fluid level;
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre pressure and condition;
operation of lights (headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, etc.);
operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system, po-
sition and wear of windscreen/rearscreen wiper blades;
Every 3,000 km check the following and top-up, if re-
quired: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL Selenia products, de-
signed and produced specifically for Lancia cars (see table
“Capacities” in chapter “6”).
DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR
If you use the vehicle mainly under one of the following
especially heavy conditions:
trailer or caravan towing;
dusty roads;
repetitive short distances (less than 7-8 km) with ex-
ternal temperatures below zero;
frequently idling the engine or long distances at low
speed driving (e.g. door-to-door deliveries) or long term
inactivity;
urban routes;

218CARE AND MAINTENANCE
RUBBER HOSES
With regards to the maintenance of the brake system and
fuel system rubber hoses, carefully follow the “Sched-
uled Service Plan” in this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in
the system may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful inspections are therefore nec-
essary.
WINDSCREEN/REARSCREEN
WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In all cases, it is advisable to replace them approximate-
ly once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of
damage to the blades:
make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the wind-
screen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required.
remove any snow from the window: this will avoid
overstressing the electrical motor in addition to pro-
tecting the blades;
do not operate the windscreen and the rear screen
wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.

SPRAY NOZZLES
Windscreen washer fig. 7
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check that there is
fluid in the reservoir: see “Checking fluid levels” in this
section).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged, if nec-
essary use a needle.
The windscreen jets are directed by adjusting the angle
of the nozzles.
Fluid jets should be directed at about 1/3 height from
the window upper edge.
IMPORTANT In versions with a sunroof, make sure that
the sunroof is closed before operating the front jets.
