WINDSCREEN/

WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part us-
ing special products; TUTELA PRO-
FESSIONAL SC 35is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge
is deformed or worn. In all cases, it is
advisable to replace them approxi-
mately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the
blades:
❒make sure that the rubber part is
not stuck to the windscreen at sub-
zero temperatures. Use an an-
tifreeze product to release it if re-
quired.
❒remove the snow from the win-
dow: this will avoid overstressing
the electrical motor in addition to
protecting the blades;
❒do not operate the windscreen
and the rear screen wipers on dry
glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNINGInstructions for fitting the blade:
❒fit pin Cinto the hole loacted in
the middle of the blade B;
❒refit the arm with the blade on the
windscreen.
Changing the rear
window blade fig. 15
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the cover Aand remove the
arm from the car, slackening the
nutBthat fastens it to the pivot
pin;
❒fit the new arm, positioning it cor-
rectly, and fully tighten the nut;
❒lower the cover.

SPRAY NOZZLES
Windscreen washer fig. 16
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly
check that there is fluid in the reser-
voir: see “Checking fluid levels” in
this section).
Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged, if necessary use a needle.
The windscreen spray nozzles, being
fluid dynamic, do not require adjust-
ment; the windscreen washer fluid is
nebulised in order to cover a prede-
fined part of the glass.Rear window wiper fig. 17
The rear window spray nozzle is also
fluid dynamic and does not require
adjustment; the rear window washer
fluid is nebulised in order to cover a
predefined part of the glass.
The spray nozzle is located on the up-
per part of the tailgate.
BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the
following:
❒atmospheric pollution;
❒salty air and humidity (coastal ar-
eas, or hot humid climates);
❒seasonal environment conditions.
Not to be underestimated is also the
abrasive action of wind-borne atmos-
pheric dust and sand and mud and
gravel raised by other cars.
On your car, Lancia has implemented
the best manufacturing technologies
to effectively protect the bodywork
against corrosion.

These include:
❒painting products and systems
which give the car particular re-
sistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❒use of galvanised (or pre-treated)
steel sheets, with high resistance to
corrosion;
❒spraying of plastic parts, with a
protective function, in the more
exposed points: underdoor, inner
fender parts, edges, etc.
❒boxed parts designed to avoid con-
densation and trapping of water,
possible causes of corrosion from
the inside.BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty
against perforation due to rust of any
original element of the structure or
body. For the general terms of this
warranty, refer to the “ Warranty
Booklet”.ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aes-
thetic purpose, but also protects the
underlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches im-
mediately to prevent the formation of
rust. Only use genuine spare paint
products for touch-ups (see “Body-
work paint identification plate” in the
“Technical Specifications” section).
Normal maintenance of paintwork
consists in washing the car: the fre-
quency depends on the conditions and
environment where the car is used.
For example, it is advisable to wash
the car more often in areas with a
high environmental pollution or on
roads sprinkled with salt.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
To correctly wash the car:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to
prevent damage to it if the car is
washed in an automatic system;
❒wash the body using a low pres-
sure jet of water;
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly
soapy solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with
a jet of air or a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts particularly
carefully, such as the door frames,
bonnet and the headlight frames,
where water may stagnate more eas-
ily. It is a good idea to leave the car in
the open for a while after washing it
to give time for the water to evapo-
rate.
Do not wash the car after it has been
parked in the sun or when the engine
is bonnet is hot: this can alter the
gloss of the paint.Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under
trees; the resinous substance many
species release give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibil-
ity of triggering rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thor-
oughly as the acid they contain is par-
ticularly aggressive.Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratch-
ing the glass or damaging the trans-
parency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the rear
window should be wiped gently with
a cloth in the direction of the fila-
ments to avoid damaging the heating
device.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes
(e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front
headlight plastic lens.Detergents cause water pol-
lution. The car should be
washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.

Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine
compartment should be carefully
washed, without directing the jet
against electronic control units. Have
this operation performed at a spe-
cialised workshop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation
on a cold engine and with the key at
STOP. After the washing operation,
make sure that the various protections
(e.g. rubber caps and guards) have
not been removed or damaged.
Never use flammable prod-
ucts, such as petrol ether or
rectified petrol to clean inside the
car. The electrostatic charges which
are generated by rubbing during the
cleaning operation may cause a fire.
WARNINGINTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to water
dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the
sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
PA R T S
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use
a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moist-
ened with a solution of water and
neutral detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts
with a moist cloth and a solution of
water and mild soap. Use specific
products for cleaning plastic, without
solvents and specifically designed to
prevent damage to the appearance
and colour of the treated parts to re-
move grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or
petroL to clean the glass of the in-
strument panel or other plastic parts.

Do not keep aerosol cans in
the car: risk of explosion.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed to
a temperature exceeding 50°C.
When the vehicle is exposed to sun-
light, the internal temperature can
greatly exceed this value.
WARNINGSTEERING WHEEL/GEAR
LEVER COVERED
IN REAL LEATHER
These components must be cleaned
with mild soap and water only. Never
use spirit and/or alcohol based prod-
ucts.
Before using specific products for the
cleaning of the interiors, ensure
through careful reading that the in-
structions on the label of the product
do not contain alcohol and/or alcohol-
based substances.
If, during cleaning of the windscreen,
window cleaner accidentally drips
onto the leather of the steering wheel
/ gear lever knob, wipe away imme-
diately and then wash the area with
mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when in-
stalling a steering wheel lock device,
where applicable, to prevent damag-
ing the leather upholstery by rubbing.
