Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen
by the driver as a
reminder that the tyre has been treated with

restore the correct pressure (with the engine
running and the handbrake engaged), resume
driving and drive with care to nearest Lancia

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a
long life for the car under the best conditions.
Lancia has prepared a series of checks and service
operations to be carried out every 30,000
kilometres (for petrol versions) or every 35,000
kilometres (for diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled Servicing Plan
(e.g. periodically check level of liquids, tyre
pressure, etc.) before 30,000/35,000 km and
between these services deadlines.
Scheduled Services are offered by all Lancia
Dealerships according to a set time schedule. If,
during each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be carried out
only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the
interval between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.WARNING
At 2000 km from the next service operation the
display will show a message.
The Scheduled Services are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Lancia Dealership of
any small operating irregularities without waiting
for the next service.
