CARE AND MAINTENANCE231

BATTERY
The battery F-fig, 1-2-3 provided with this vehicle is a
“Reduced maintenance” battery: no top-ups with distilled
water are needed in normal conditions of use.
It should nevertheless be periodically checked by a Lan-
cia Dealership or specialised personnel to check its effi-
ciency.
The battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and sources of sparks away
from the battery: risk of explosion and fire.
Running the battery with an excessively low
liquid level will damage the battery beyond
repair and even cause an explosion.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the ser-
vice intervals given in the “Scheduled Service Plan” will
no longer be valid.
Refer therefore to the instructions provided by the battery
manufacturer.
If the battery is disconnected, the áwarning light will
come on (together with a message in the display) to indi-
cate that the system must be realigned. To switch the
warning light off, carry out the following initialization pro-
cedure:
❍turn the ignition key to the ON position;
❍turn the steering wheel fully both clockwise and anti-
clockwise (to move from the position with the wheels
straight);
❍turn the ignition key to the OFF position and then turn
it back ON.
If the áwarning light does not go out after a few seconds,
seek assistance from a Lancia Dealership.
