BATTERYBattery F (see previous pages) does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled water. A
periodic check carried out at a Lancia Dealership
is, however, necessary to check efficiency.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If necessary, replace the battery with another
original battery with the same specifications.
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
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 that the doors,
tailgate and bonnet are closed properly, to
prevent any roof lights from remaining on inside
the passenger's compartment;
❒switch off all roof lights inside the car: the car is
however equipped with a system which switches
all internal lights off automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system,
hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the negative
battery cable;
❒completely tighten the battery terminals.IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under
50% for a long time, the battery is damaged
by sulphation, reducing its capacity and efficiency
at start-up.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing
(this can happen as early as -10°C). Refer to
the paragraph "Car inactivity" in "Starting and
driving" if the car is left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the car, you wish to install
electrical accessories which require permanent
electrical supply (alarm etc.) or accessories which
influence the electrical supply requirements,
contact a Lancia Dealership, whose qualified staff
will evaluate the overall electrical consumption.
WARNING
Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages
the battery
and may cause an explosion.

Incorrect installation of electrical and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing
your car, if you wish to install any accessories
(car alarm, car phone etc.), contact a Lancia
Dealership, which will suggest the most
appropriate devices for your vehicle and will,
most importantly, advise you if a
higher-capacity battery needs to be installed.Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment.
For battery replacement, contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
If the car will be unused for an
extended period of
time in extremely
cold weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to avoid it
freezing.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate goggles
when working on
or near the battery.
WHEELS AND TYRESBefore long trips, and every two weeks, check the
tyre and space-saver wheel inflation pressure
(for versions/markets, where provided). Check the
tyres when cold.
While driving the car, the pressure increases under
standard conditions: for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig.
161:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn;
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the
edges;
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.

SPEED VOLUME function
(speed-based volume change)
(excluding versions with 360° HI-FI MUSIC
system)
This function automatically adapts the volume
level to the speed of the car, increasing the volume
when the speed increases to maintain the ratio
with the noise level inside the passenger
compartment.
To turn the function on/off, press the
/
buttons. The words "Speed volume" appear on
the display, followed by the current status of the
function:
❒Off: function deactivated
❒Low: function activated (low setting)
❒High: function activated (high setting).
RADIO ON VOLUME function
(radio max. volume limit
activation/deactivation)
This function makes it possible to
activate/deactivate the maximum volume limit
when the radio is on.
The display shows the function status:
❒"Radio on vol – Limit on": when the radio is
switched on, the volume level will be: – if the
volume level is equal to or higher than the
maximum value or higher, the radio will come
on at the maximum volume;– if the volume level is between the minimum and
maximum values, the radio will come on at the
same volume as before it was switched off
– if the volume level is equal to or lower than the
minimum value, the radio will come on at the
minimum volume.
❒"Radio on vol – Limit off": the radio will come
on at the volume level it was at before switching
off. The volume level can be between 0 and 40.
To change the setting of the selected function, use
the
/
buttons.
NOTES
❒Using the Menu it is only possible to adjust the
activation/deactivation of the function and not
the minimum or maximum volume value.
❒If the "TA" or "TEL" functions or an outside
audio source are activated when the radio is
turned on, the radio will come on at the volume
set for these sources. The volume can be
adjusted between the minimum and the
maximum level, by deactivating the external
audio source.
❒If the battery charge is low, it will not be
possible to adjust the volume between the
minimum and maximum levels.
