WHEELS
AND TYRES
TYRE PRESSURE
Check the pressure of each tyre,
including the spare, every two weeks
and before long journeys.
The pressure should be checked
with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to rise
when you are driving. If you have to
check or restore the pressure when
the tyres are warm, remember that
the pressure value must be 0.3 bar
above the specified value.
For proper tyre inflation pressure,
see “Wheels” in chapter “Technical
Specifications”.Tyre pressure must be
correct to ensure good
road holding.
Wrong pressure causes uneven
wear of the tyres (fig. 19):
A- Correct pressure: tyre wears
evenly.
B- Under inflated tyre: shoulder
tread wear.
C- Over inflated tyre: centre tread
wear.If the pressure is too low
the tyre overheats and
this can cause it serious
damage.
Tyres must be replaced when the
tread wears down to 1.6 mm. In any
case, comply with the laws in the
country where the car is being dri-
ven.

Detergents pollute water.
For this reason the car
must be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.TIPS FOR KEEPING THE BODY
IN GOOD CONDITIONS
Paintwork
The paintwork is not only to make
your car look attractive but also to
protect the steel.
If the paint is scuffed or scratched
deeply you are therefore advised to
touch up as necessary to prevent rust
from forming.
Only use genuine products when
touching up the paintwork (see
“Bodywork paint identification
plate” in chapter “Technical
Specifications”).
Ordinary maintenance of the
paintwork means washing it. The
frequency you should do this
depends on the conditions and the
environment the car is driven in. For
example, you should wash your car
more often if it is driven in areas
with a high level of air pollution or
on road sprinkled with saltwash.Before leaving your car
into the automatic car-
wash tunnel, disengage
the parking brake following the
instructions given in the relevant
paragraph, and leave the Keyless
System CID (where fitted) in the
car to prevent automatic steering
locking.Before cleaning the
windscreen (e.g. at filling
stations), make sure to
have deactivated the rain sensor
and turned the ignition key to
STOP. Deactivate the rain sensor
also when washing your car man-
ually or at automatic carwash.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
PRODUCTS WHICH MAY BE USED AND THEIR SPECIFICATIONS
Use
Lubricants for
petrol engines
Lubricants for
diesel engines
For regular operation of JTD versions fitted with DPF, use genuine lubricant only. In the event of an emergency, lacking the genuine
lubricant, top up just once with max. 0.5 l and go to Lancia Dealership as soon as possible
Should non-genuine products be used, lubricants with minimum ACEA A3 properties for petrol engines and ACEA B4 for Diesel en-
gines are tolerated; in this event top engine performance is not guaranteed.
Using low-quality products, not compliant with ACEA A3 and ACEA B4 properties and specifications could cause engine damages not
covered by warranty.
For very cold temperatures, consult Lancia Dealership for the proper Seleniaproduct to use.Original fluids and
