ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If, after buying the car, you decide to install electrical ac-
cessories that require a permanent electrical supply (alarm,
satellite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories that in any
case burden the electric supply, contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship. Their qualified personnel, besides being able to sug-
gest the most suitable devices from the Lineaccessori Lan-
cia, will also evaluate the overall electric uptake, check-
ing whether the car’s electrical system is able to withstand
the required load, or whether a more powerful battery
needs to be installed.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiv-
ing devices provided that they are installed according to
rules of good engineering practice in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and at a specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the car on the
road if devices have been fitted which modify the features
of the car. This may also invalidate the warranty if faults
occur that are either directly or indirectly related to the
installation of these devices. Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A.
shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation
of accessories either not supplied or not recommended
by Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. and/or not installed in
compliance with the provided instructions. INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the
car, and also in the event of after-market service, must car-
ry the following label:

232CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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.
When you must perform any operation on the
battery or near it, always protect your eyes
with special goggles.
Incorrect assembly of electric and electronic
devices may cause severe damage to your car.
Go to a Lancia Dealership if you want to in-
stall accessories (alarms, mobile phone, etc.): they
will suggest the most suitable devices and advise
you if a higher capacity battery needs to be in-
stalled.
Batteries contain substances that can be very
dangerous for the environment. It is advis-
able to have the battery changed by a Lancia
Dealership where it will be disposed of according
to the law.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR LENGTHENING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make its life longer,
observe the following indications:
❍when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate and
bonnet are closed properly to ensure that the courtesy
lights do not remain lit in the passenger compartment;
❍switch off all lights inside the car: the car is however
equipped with a system which switches all internal
lights off automatically;
❍do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard
lights, etc.) switched on for a long time when the en-
gine is not running;
❍before performing any operation on the electrical sys-
tem, disconnect the battery negative terminal;
❍battery terminals should always be perfectly tightened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains below 50% for
a long time, the battery will be damaged by sulphation,
reducing its capacity and starting attitude.The battery will also be at increased risk of freezing (e.g.
already at -10°C). Refer to the paragraph “Car inactivi-
ty” in chapter “3” if the car is left parked for a long time.
If after buying the car, you want to install electric acces-
sories which require permanent electric supply (alarm,
etc.) contact a Lancia Dealership whose qualified per-
sonnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable devices
from the Lineaccessori Lancia, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the car’s electric sys-
tem is capable of withstanding the load required, or
whether it should be integrated with a more powerful bat-
tery.
Since these devices continue absorbing energy even when
the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the bat-
tery.
