MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
Using the battery when the
fluid is too low can dam-
age it irreparably and generate a
risk of explosion.
WARNING
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a
genuine spare part having the same
specifications.
If a battery with different specifica-
tions is fitted, the service intervals
given in the “Service schedule” in this
section will no longer be valid.
Refer therefore to the instructions pro-
vided by the battery manufacturer.Batteries contain sub-
stances that can be very
dangerous for the environ-
ment. t is advisable to have
the battery changed by a Lancia
Dealership where it will be disposed
of according to the law.Incorrect assembly of elec-
tric and electronic devices
may cause severe damage
to your car. Go to a Lancia
Dealership if you want to install ac-
cessories (alarms, mobile phone,
etc.): they will suggest the most suit-
able devices and advise you if a
higher capacity battery needs to be
installed.USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and to
lengthen its life, observe the following
indications:
❒when you park your car, ensure
that doors, bonnet and flaps are
well closed in order to ensure that
no lights remain on inside the pas-
senger compartment;
❒switch off all lights inside the car:
the car is however equipped with
a system which switches all inter-
nal lights off automatically;
❒when the engine is off, do not keep
devices running for long periods
(e.g. sound system, hazard lights
etc.);
❒before performing any operation
on the electrical system, discon-
nect the battery negative terminal
cable;
❒screw the terminals of the battery
down hard.
If the vehicle must remain
unused for a long time at
very low temperatures, remove the
battery and carry it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.
WARNING
When performing any op-
erations on the battery or
near it, always protect your eyes
with the special goggles.
