ENGINE OIL fig. 5-6-7-8
Engine oil check
Check the oil level a few minutes
(about 5) after the engine has
stopped, with the car parked on level
ground.
The oil level must be included be-
tween the MINandMAXmarks on
the dipstick. The range between the
MINandMAXlevels corresponds to
approximately 1 litre of oil.Topping up the engine oil
If the oil level is near or under the
MINline, add oil through the filler to
reach the MAXline. Oil level shall
never exceed the MAXline.
IMPORTANT If, following the rou-
tine checks, the engine oil level is
found to be above the MAXline, con-
tact the Lancia Dealership in order to
have the correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or chang-
ing the oil, before checking the level,
run the engine for a few seconds and
wait for a few minutes after it has
stopped.

Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consump-
tion is usually 400 grams every 1000
km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to be run in, therefore the engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on driving style and the con-
ditions under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Always top up using
engine oil of the same types as that al-
ready in the engine.ENGINE COOLANT fig. 10
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must be
between the MINandMAXlines on
the vessel.
If the level is too low, slowly pour a
mixture of 50% distilled water and of
FL Selenia’s PARAFLU UP into the
filler of the vessel.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP
and distilled water gives freeze pro-
tection to –35°C.
IMPORTANT When the engine is very
hot, do not remove the cap of the ves-
sel: risk of burns.
Proceed very carefully in-
side the engine compart-
ment when the engine is hot: risk of
burns. Remember that the fan may
start up if the engine is hot: risk of
injury. Pay attention to scarves, ties
and other loose fitting garments:
they could get dragged by the mov-
ing parts.
WARNING
Waste engine oil and oil fil-
ters contain substances
which are dangerous for the
environment. For oil and fil-
ter changing, we recommend contact-
ing a Lancia Dealership.

To add fluid lift the cap Aand pour
in a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35fluid, in the
following proportions:
❒30% of TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35and 70% of water
in summer;
❒50% of TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35and 50% of water
in winter.
At temperatures inferior to –20°C use
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35
undiluted.
Check level through the reservoir.
PARAFLU UP antifreeze is
used in the engine cooling
system. Use fluid of the same type
contained in the cooling system for
top-ups. PARAFLU UP may not be
mixed with other types of fluids. If
this accidentally occurs, do not start
the engine and contact a Lancia
Dealership.
WARNING
The engine cooling system
is pressurized. If required,
replace the cap with an original
spare part so as not to compromise
system efficiency.
WARNING

Do not travel with the
windscreen washing reser-
voir empty: the action of the wind-
screen washer is essential for im-
proving visibility.
WARNING
Some commercial additives
for windscreen washing are
flammable. The engine compart-
ment contains hot parts which could
start a fire if they come into contact.

BRAKE FLUID fig. 12
Release cap: check that the liquid
contained in the tank is at the maxi-
mum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAXmark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the
“Fluids and lubricants” table (see
“Technical Specifications”chapter).
NOTE Carefully clean the cap of the
reservoir and the surrounding surface.
When opening the cap, make sure
that no dirt gets into the reservoir.
For topping up always use a funnel
with integrated filter that has a mesh
inferior or equal to 0.12 mm.
fig. 12L0D0213m
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs
moisture. For this reason, if the car is
mainly used in areas with a high de-
gree of atmospheric humidity, the
fluid should be replaced at more fre-
quent intervals than specified in the
“Service schedule”.
Prevent brake fluid which is
highly corrosive from com-
ing into contact with painted
parts. Should that occur, im-
mediately wash with water.
The brake fluid is poiso-
nous and highly corrosive.
In the case of accidental contact,
wash the parts with water and mild
soap and rinse with plenty of water.
In case of swallowing immediately
call a doctor.
WARNING
The symbol π, on the con-
tainer, indicates a synthetic
brake fluid, which is different from
a mineral fluid. Use of a mineral
type fluid will damage the special
rubber seals of the braking system
beyond repair.

The presence of water in
the feeding circuit may
cause severe damage to the injection
system and irregular engine opera-
tion. If the warning lightcon the
display lights up (on some versions
with the message on the reconfig-
urable multifunctional display), go
to a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible to have the system bled.
Water may have been introduced in
the tank if this appears immediately
after refuelling: in this case, stop the
engine immediately and contact a
Lancia Dealership.
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 contact
with the skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of ex-
plosion 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.

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 substances
that can be very dangerous
for the environment. t is ad-
visable to have the battery
changed by a Lancia Dealership
where it will be disposed of according
to the law.Incorrect assembly of electric
and electronic devices may
cause severe damage to your
car. Go to a Lancia Dealer-
ship if you want to install accessories
(alarms, mobile phone, etc.): they will
suggest the most suitable 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 oper-
ations on the battery or near
it, always protect your eyes with the
special goggles.

AND CARE
IMPORTANT If the charge level re-
mains for a long time under 50%, the
battery is damaged by sulphation, re-
ducing its capacity and starting atti-
tude.
The battery will also be more at risk
of freezing (e.g. already at –10°C).
Refer to the paragraph “Car inactiv-
ity” in “Starting and driving” if the
car is left parked for a long time.
If after buying the car, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm,
etc.) contact the Lancia Dealership
whose qualified personnel, in addition
to suggesting the most suitable devices
beloning to the Lancia Lineaccessori
line, will evaluate the overall electric
absorption, checking whether the car’s
electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether
it should be integrated with a more
powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorb-
ing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the
battery.WHEELS
AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each type, in-
cluding the spare, approximately once
every two weeks and before starting a
long journey: this check must be per-
formed with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to in-
crease when the car is used; for the
correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in “Technical specifica-
tions” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear:
A: normal pressure: evenly worn
tread.
B: low pressure: tread particularly
worn on the edges.
C: excessive pressure: tread particu-
larly worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all
cases, follow the laws in force in the
country where you are driving.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning
starts and violent knocks against
the curb, potholes or other obsta-
cles if possible. Long distances on
rough roads may damage the
tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts
on the sides, swelling or irregular
tread wear. Go to a Lancia Deal-
ership if required;
❒do not overload your car: this may
cause serious damage to wheels
and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop imme-
diately and charge it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim, sus-
pensions and steering system;

❒the tyre ages even if rarely used.
Cracks in the tread and on the
sidewalls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by spe-
cialised personnel if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
❒In the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of du-
bious origin;
❒If a tyre is changed, also change
the inflation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the
front and rear tyres, it is advisable
to change them over every 10-15
thousand kilometres, keeping
them on the same side of the car
so as not to reverse the direction of
rotation.
Remember that road hold-
ing depends also on the cor-
rect tyre inflation pressure.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the tyres,
moving them from the right
of the car to the left and vice versa.
WARNING
Never subject alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring the use of temperatures ex-
ceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could be im-
paired.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel
rubber hoses are concerned, carefully
follow the “Service schedule” in this
section.
Ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the
hoses, with possible leaks. Careful in-
spections are therefore necessary.
