peratures, etc.) and it will then calcu-
late the amount of particulates trapped
by the filter. Since this filter physically
traps particulates, it shall be cleaned
(reclaimed) at regular intervals by
burning carbon particles. The regener-
ation procedure is controlled automat-
ically by the engine control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and the
conditions of use of the car. During the
regeneration procedure, the following
situations may occur: limited increase
of idle speed, activation of electric fan,
limited increase of smoke, high tem-
peratures at the exhaust. These are not
anomalies; they do not impair car be-
haviour and the environment. If the
dedicated message is displayed, refer to
section “Warning lights and messages”.PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒fuel evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run,
even for a test, with one or more spark
plugs disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(for 1.3 Multijet 90 CV versions)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a me-
chanical filter, integral with the exhaust
system, that physically traps particu-
lates present in the exhaust gases of
Diesel engines. The diesel particulate
filter has been adopted to eliminate al-
most totally particulates in compliance
with current / future law regulations.
During normal use of the car, the en-
gine control unit records a set of data
(e.g.: travel time, type of route, tem- During refuelling, attach the cap to
the device on the inside of the flap, as
shown in the figure.
IMPORTANT The sealing of the tank
may cause light pressuring in the
tank. A little breathing off, while
slackening the cap, is absolutely nor-
mal.
After refuelling, tighten the cap by
turning it clockwise until you hear one
or more clicks. Then turn the key
clockwise and remove it and close the
flap.
Do not place naked flames
or lit cigarettes near to the
fuel filler: fire risk. Keep your face
away from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.
WARNING
The catalytic converter de-
velops high temperature
during operation. Do not park on
grass, dry leaves, pine needles or
other flammable material: fire
risk.

ANNUAL
INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
For cars with an annual mileage of
below 20,000 km (for example about
15.000 km) the following yearly in-
spection programme is advised:
❒check tyre conditions/wear and
adjust pressure if required (in-
cluding the spare wheel);
❒check light system operation
(headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, boot lights, passen-
ger compartment lights, warning
lights, etc.);
❒wiper and windscreen washer sys-
tem check (adjustment of spray
nozzles/wear on wiper blades)
❒check front disk brake pad condi-
tions and wear;
❒visually inspect the conditions of:
engine, gearbox, transmission,
pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel
feed - brakes), rubber parts
(boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);❒check cleanness of bonnet and
boot locks and lever cleanness and
lubrication;
❒check battery charge;
❒visual check on various drive belt
conditions;
❒check and top up, if required, fluid
levels (engine coolant, brake fluid,
windscreen washer fluid, battery
fluid, etc);
❒replace engine oil;
❒replace engine oil filter;
❒replace pollen filter (where pro-
vided).
ADDITIONAL
CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long jour-
neys, check and top up if required:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km check the following
and top-up, if required: engine oil
level.
You are recommended to use FL Se-
lenia products, designed and pro-
duced specifically for Lancia cars (see
table “Capacities” in section “Techni-
cal specifications”).
IMPORTANT - Engine oil
Should prevailing use of the car be
under one of the following specially
heavy conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km)
repeated and with external tem-
peratures below zero;

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.

DISCHARGE OF THE
CONDENSATE (Multijet versions)
The presence of water in
the feeding circuit may
cause severe damage to the injec-
tion system and irregular engine
operation. If the warning lightc
on the display lights up (on some
versions with the message on the
reconfigurable multifunctional dis-
play), go to a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible to have the system
bled. Water may have been intro-
duced in the tank if this appears
immediately after refuelling: in
this case, stop the engine immedi-
ately and contact a Lancia Deal-
ership.
WARNING
INSPECTING THE CHARGE
AND THE ELECTROLYTE
LEVEL
Inspection operations must be carried
out by specialised personnel, follow-
ing the prescriptions contained in the
Owner Handbook.
Any top-up operations must be carried
out exclusively by specialised person-
nel and by the Lancia Dealership.
Battery liquid is poisonous
and corrosive. Avoid con-
tact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames or possible sources of
sparks away from the battery:
risk of explosion or fire.
WARNING
BATTERY
The battery is of the “Limited main-
tenance” type: under normal condi-
tions of use the electrolyte does not
need topping up with distilled water.
