STARTING UP AND DRIVING173
3
The ABS with which the car may be equipped
will not control the braking system of the
trailer. Take specific care when travelling on
slippery roads.
Never modify the braking system of the car
to control the trailer brake. The trailer brak-
ing system must be fully independent from
the hydraulic system of the car.
SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres pro-
vided with the car.
A Lancia Dealership will be happy to provide advice con-
cerning the most suitable type of tyre for your require-
ments.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures and the
specifications of snow tyres, follow the instructions given
in paragraph “Wheels” in chapter “6”.
The performance of these tyres is considerably reduced
when the tread thickness is less than 4 mm. Replace them
in this case.Due to their specific features, the performance of snow
tyres is much lower than that of standard tyres in nor-
mal conditions or long motorway stretches. Limit their use
to the use for which they were approved.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a maximum
speed rating different from that of the vehicle (increased
by 5%), place a clearly visible warning sign in the pas-
senger compartment warning other drivers of the maxi-
mum speed rating of the snow tyres used (as required by
EC directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to en-
sure greater safety when driving, during braking and bet-
ter driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to change the direction
of rotation of tyres.
Snow tyres marked with a “Q” must not ex-
ceed 160 km/h, respecting the applicable
rules of the Highway Code.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE221
5
REGULAR INSPECTIONS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and top
up if required:
❍engine coolant fluid level;
❍brake fluid level;
❍windscreen washer fluid level;
❍tyre pressure and condition;
❍operation of lights (headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, etc.);
❍operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system, po-
sition and wear of windscreen/rearscreen wiper blades.
Every 3,000 km check the following and top-up, if re-
quired: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use PETRONAS LUBRICANTS
products, designed and produced specifically for Lancia
cars (see table “Capacities” in chapter “6”).
DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR
If you use the vehicle mainly under one of the following
especially heavy conditions:
❍trailer or caravan towing;
❍dusty roads;
❍repetitive short distances (less than 7-8 km) with ex-
ternal temperatures below zero;
❍frequently idling the engine or long distances at low
speed driving (e.g. door-to-door deliveries) or long term
inactivity;
❍urban routes.
