SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for
ensuring long car life under the best
conditions.
This is why Lancia has planned a se-
ries of checks and maintenance oper-
ations every 20,000 km.
Scheduled servicing will not however
fully cover all of the needs of your car:
also in the initial period before the
20,000 km service coupon and later,
between one coupon and another, or-
dinary care is still required such as for
example routine check and topping
up the level of fluids, tyre pressure
check, etc. IMPORTANT The Scheduled Service
coupons are required by the Manu-
facturer. Default may invalidate the
warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by
all Lancia Dealerships at set times. If during each operation, in addition
to the ones programmed, the need
arises for further replacements or re-
pairs, these may be carried out only
with the explicit agreement of the
Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to con-
tact a Lancia Dealership in the event
of any minor operating faults, with-
out waiting for the next service
coupon.
If your car is used frequently for tow-
ing, the interval between one service
coupon and the other must be re-
duced.

❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
❒frequently idling engines or long
distance low speed driving (e.g.
taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or
in case of a long term inactivity;
❒replace engine oil more frequently
than required on “Service sched-
ule”.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
If the car is used on dusty roads
change the air cleaner more fre-
quently than the indications in the
“Service schedule”. If in doubt as to
how often the engine oil and air
cleaner should be changed according
to how you use the car, contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
If the car is used frequently in dusty
or heavily polluted environments it is
advisable to replace the filtering ele-
ment more frequently; in particular it
should be replaced if a reduction of
the amount of air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment is noted.
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
The possibility of topping up with
diesel fuel not complying with EN590
European Norm might make it neces-
sary to replace the filter more fre-
quently than indicated in the “Service
schedule”.IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in the battery should be
checked at the start of winter to limit
the risk of electrolyte freezing.
Perform this inspection more fre-
quently if the car is mainly used for
short distances or if electrical devices
running with the key off are installed,
particularly after-market. If the car is
used in hot climates or in particularly
heavy duty conditions, it is advisable
to check the battery fluid (electrolyte)
level at more frequent intervals com-
pared to those provided for in the
“Service Schedule”.
Car maintenance should be
entrusted to Lancia Dealer-
ship. For routine and minor
maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, al-
ways make sure you have the proper
equipment, genuine Lancia spare
parts and the necessary fluids; do
not however carry out these opera-
tions if you have no experience.
