FUEL SAVINGS
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimise harm-
ful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (nitric oxides,
unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc…).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval
of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, con-
sumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of the
car (especially when driving in town) and its ride greatly
affects consumption and stability.Accessories installed on longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski racks, luggage
container, etc. from the roof if they are no longer used.
These accessories lower air penetration and adversely af-
fect consumption levels. When transporting particularly
large objects, use a trailer if possible.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed.
The heated rear window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount
of energy, therefore a higher requirement of current in-
volves an increase of fuel consumption (up to +25%
in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel consumption (on av-
erage up to +20%). If the temperature outside permits,
try and use the air vents.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may ad-
versely affect air drag and fuel consumption levels.

REPLACING AN INTERIOR BULB
For the type of bulb and power rating, see the “Types of
bulbs” paragraph.FRONT ROOF LIGHT
Proceed as follows to replace the bulbs:
❍remove the roof light A-fig. 26 by acting on the points
shown by the arrows;
❍open the protective flap B-fig. 27;
❍replace the bulbs C releasing them from the side con-
tacts and making sure that the new bulbs are correctly
secured between the contacts;
❍close the lid B-fig. 27 and fasten the roof light A-fig.
26 in its housing, making sure it is locked correctly.
IMPORTANT In some versions, the roof light in fig. 26
is at the back (electric sun roof version). To replace the
relevant bulbs, refer to the procedure described in para-
graph “Front roof light” in this chapter.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer,
observe the following instructions:
❍when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate and
bonnet are closed properly, to prevent any light from
remaining on inside the passenger’s compartment;
❍turn off the roof lights, although the car does have an
automatic system for switching off internal lights;
❍do not leave devices (e.g. car radio, hazard lights, etc.)
switched on for a long time when the engine is not
running;
❍before performing any operation on the electrical sys-
tem, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❍battery terminals should always be perfectly tight-
ened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50% for
a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation, re-
ducing its capacity and starting attitude.The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can
happen as early as −10 °C). In the case of prolonged idle-
ness, refer to the paragraph “Car inactivity”, in chapter
“3”.
If you decide to install electrical accessories after the car
has been purchased which require a permanent electric
power supply (alarm, etc.) or accessories which have
a serious impact on the electrical balance, seek assistance
from a Lancia Dealership because their qualified staff will
suggest the most suitable Lancia Lineaccessori devices
and assess the overall electric consumption, checking
whether the car’s electrical system can cope or whether
a more powerful battery is required.
Since these devices continue to consume energy even when
the engine is off, they gradually run down the battery.

SPRAY NOZZLES
Windscreen washer fig. 8
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check that there is
fluid in the reservoir (see “Checking fluid levels” in this
chapter).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged, if nec-
essary clean them using a needle.
The windscreen jets are directed by adjusting the nozzle
angle.
The jets should be directed at about a third of the height
from the top edge of the windscreen.
IMPORTANT In versions with a sun roof, make sure that
the sun roof is closed before operating the front jets.
