2011 Lancia Delta towing

224SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life
for the car 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).
It is, however, important to remember that scheduled ser-
vicing does not completely cover all the car’s requirements:
even in the initial period before 30,000/35,000 km, and
then subsequently between one service and another, or-
dinary care is always required such as routine checks in-
volving topping up fluid levels, checking tyre pressures
etc...
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing Coupons are required
by the manufacturer. Failure to carry them out may in-
validate the warranty.Scheduled Services are offered by all Lancia Dealerships
according to a set time schedule.
If during each operation, in addition to the ones sched-
uled operations, the need arises for further replacements
or repairs, these may only be carried out with the express
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 coupon.
If the car is used frequently for towing a trailer, the in-
terval between services should be reduced.
