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.

WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW WASHER FLUID
fig. 11
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
fig. 11L0D0212m
Do not travel with the
windscreen washing reser-

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.

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.
