The power brakes and
power steering will not
work while the car is being towed.
More effort on the brake pedal and
steering wheel will therefore be re-
quired. Do not use wires for tow-
ing. 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 behaviour to maintain on the
road.
WARNING
Before towing, turn the key
to MAR and then to STOP
without extracting it. The steering
column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the
wheels cannot be steered.
WARNING
Do not start the engine
while towing the car.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
Prevent brake fluid which
is highly corrosive from
coming into contact with
painted parts. Should this
occur, immediately wash with wa-
ter.
Brake fluid is poisonous
and highly corrosive. In
the case of accidental contact, wash
the parts with water and mild soap
and rinse with plenty of water.
Call a doctor immediately if swal-
lowed.
WARNING
Symbolπon the contain
indicates a synthetic brake
fluid, which is different from a
mineral fluid. Use of a mineral
type fluid will damage the special
rubber seals of the braking system
beyond repair.
WARNING
FUEL FILTER
(green filter)
DRAINING CONDENSATION
(Multijet versions)
The presence of water in
the feeding circuit may
cause severe damage to the injec-
tion system and irregular engine
operation. If the warning lights c
on the cluster lights up or a mes-
sage appears on the reconfigurable
multifunctional display (some ver-
sions), contact a Lancia Dealership
to have the system bled. Water may
have been introduced in the tank if
this appears immediately after re-
fuelling: in this case, stop the en-
gine immediately and contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
CHECKING CHARGE
AND ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
The operations must be carried out as
described in this Owner’s Handbook
only by specialised personnel.
Topping must be carried out by spe-
cialised personnel at a Lancia Dealer-
ship.
Battery liquid is poisonous
and corrosive. Avoid con-
tact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk
of explosion and fire.
WARNING
BATTERY
The battery is of the low maintenance
type and the electrolyte does not need
to be topped up with distilled water in
normal conditions of use.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
IMPORTANT A battery which is kept
at a charge of less than 50% (optical
indicator with dark colour without
green area in the middle) for any
length of time will be damaged by sul-
phation leading to a reduction in
cranking power.
The battery will also be more at risk
of freezing (e.g. already at -10°C).
In case of prolonged halt, refer to the
“Storing the car” paragraph in the
“Starting and driving” chapter.
If after buying the car, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm,
etc.) contact Lancia Dealership whose
qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices
from Lineaccessori Lancia, will eval-
uate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric
system is capable of withstanding the
load required, or whether it should be
integrated with a more powerful bat-
tery.
Since these devices continue absorb-
ing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the
battery.WHEELS AND
TYRES
Check the pressure of each type, in-
cluding the spare, approximately once
every two weeks and before starting a
long journey: this check must be per-
formed with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to increase
when the car is used. For the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels”
in “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wearfig. 15:
A: normal pressure: evenly worn
tread.
B: low pressure: tread particularly
worn on the edges.
C: excessive pressure: tread particu-
larly worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all
cases, follow the laws in force in the
country where you are driving.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning
starts and violent knocks against
the curb, potholes or other obsta-
cles if possible. Long distances on
rough roads may damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on
the sides, swelling or irregular tread
wear. Go to a Lancia Dealership if
required.
❒Do not overload your vehicle: this
may cause serious damage to
wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the ve-
hicle immediately and charge it to
avoid damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;

Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the
engine compartment thoroughly, tak-
ing care not to aim the jet of water di-
rectly at the electronic control units or
at the windscreen wiper motors. Have
this operation performed at a spe-
cialised workshop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation
on a cold engine and with the key at
STOP. After the washing operation,
make sure that the various protections
(e.g. rubber caps and guards) have
not removed or damaged.
Never use flammable
products, such as petrol
ether or rectified petrol to clean in-
side the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by
rubbing during the cleaning oper-
ation may cause a fire.
WARNING
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts
with a moist cloth and a solution of
water and mild soap. Use specific
products for cleaning plastic, without
solvents and specifically designed to
prevent damage to the appearance
and colour of the treated parts to re-
move grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or pe-
troleum to clean the instrument panel.INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to water
dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the
sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
PA R T S
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use
a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moist-
ened with a solution of water and
neutral detergent.
