fig. 43L0E0090mfig. 44L0E0091m
Before starting towing operations, turn the ig-
nition key to MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is extracted, the steer-
ing wheel lock will be automatically activated, thus
preventing steering. The power brakes and the elec-
trical power steering will not work while the car is be-
ing towed. More effort on the brake pedal and steer-
ing wheel will therefore be required. Do not use wires
for towing. Do not jerk. Make sure not to damage parts
in contact with the car while towing. Respect the spe-
cific rules of the Highway Code when towing the car
specifically in relation to the towing device and the be-
haviour to maintain on the road. Do not start the en-
gine while towing the car.

216CARE AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car life
under the best conditions.
Lancia has prepared a series of checks and service oper-
ations to be carried out every 30,000 kilometres (for petrol
versions) or every 35,000 kilometres (for diesel versions).
Scheduled servicing will not however fully cover all of the
needs of your car: also in the initial period before the
30,000/35,000 km service and later, between one ser-
vice and another, ordinary care is still required such as
routine checks, topping up the fluid levels,checking tyre
pressure, etc.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Services are required by the man-
ufacturer. Failure to carry them out may invalidate the
warranty.Scheduled Services are offered by all Lancia Dealerships
according to a set time schedule.
If during each operation, in addition to the scheduled ones,
the need arises for further replacements or repairs, these
may be carried out only with the explicit agreement of the
Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact a Lancia Deal-
ership in the event of any minor operating faults, with-
out waiting for the next service.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval be-
tween one service and the next should be reduced.

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE
AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE
For years now Lancia has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of
the Environment through the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of
increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a view to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in
full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligations imposed by European Directive
2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Lancia offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the end
of its life span without additional costs.
The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of
the same incurring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In
particular, in almost all of the countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the
vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002 on, while, from 2007 on, take-back
will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that the vehicle still
contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste
materials.
Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a
quality service to our customers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved
environmental standards. To find out the location of your nearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of
charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Lancia web site or call the toll free number
00800 526242 00.
