228IN AN EMERGENCY
When towing, remember that without the
help of the brake servo and electric power
steering, a greater effort is required on the
pedal and steering wheel. Do not use flexible ca-
bles when towing and avoid jerky movements.
While towing, make sure not to damage parts in
contact with the car. When towing the vehicle, it is
compulsory to respect specific highway code reg-
ulations relating to the tow hook and procedures for
towing on the road. Do not start the engine while
towing the car. Before tightening the ring clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure that the
ring is securely fastened before towing the car.
The front and rear tow hooks must only be
used for emergency situations on the road.
The car may be towed for short distances
when a dedicated device is used in compliance with
the Highway Code (rigid bar), and in order to move
the vehicle on the road in preparation for towing by
a tow truck. Tow hooks MUST NOT be used to tow
vehicles off the road or where there are obstacles
and/or for towing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices. Respecting the above conditions,
towing must take place with two vehicles (one tow-
ing, the other towed) aligned as much as possible
along the same centre line.
fig. 45L0E0091m
Before towing, turn the ignition key to MAR
and then to STOP without removing it. The
steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels cannot be
steered.

ENGINE OIL A-fig.1-2-3-4
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after the
engine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground.
The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick. The range between the MIN. and MAX.
marks corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
If the level of the oil is close to or below the MIN. mark,
add oil via the filler fitting until the MAX. mark is
reached.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually
400 grams every 1000 km. When the car is new, the en-
gine need
s to run in, therefore the engine oil consump-
tion can only be considered stabilised after the first
5,000–6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and the car usage conditions.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after
switching it off before checking the level.
When the engine is hot, take care when work-
ing inside the engine compartment to avoid
burns. Remember that when the engine is hot,
the fan may cut in: danger of injury. Pay attention
to scarves, ties and other loose fitting garments: they
might get caught by moving components.
Do not add any oil with different specifica-
tions to those of the existing engine oil.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that may be danger-
ous for the environment. It is advisable to
have oil and filters changed by a Lancia Dealer-
ship, where they will be disposed of properly and
in accordance with the law.

BATTERY
The car is fitted with a low-maintenance battery, F-fig.
1-2-3-4: no top-ups with distilled water are needed in
standard conditions of use.
It does need to be checked regularly at a Lancia Dealer-
ship or by specialist personnel to make sure that it is
working properly.
Battery liquid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.
Using the battery when the fluid is too low
can damage it irreparably and generate
a risk of explosion.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the ser-
vice intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing Pro-
gramme” in this chapter will no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for main-
tenance.
Advanced ESP system
If the battery is disconnected, the warning light
áwill
switch on (together with a message in the display) to in-
dicate that the system must be realigned. To switch the
warning light off, carry out the following initialisation
procedure:
❍turn the ignition key to MAR:
❍turn the steering wheel fully both clockwise and anti-
clockwise (to move from the position with the wheels
straight);
❍turn the ignition key to STOP and then to MAR.
If the warning light ádoes not go out after a few seconds,
seek assistance from a Lancia Dealership.

6 = rim diameter in inches (1).
J = rim drop centre outline (side projection where the
tyre bead rests) (2).
15 = rim nominal diameter in inches (corresponds to di-
ameter of the tyre to be mounted) (3 = Ø).
H2 = shape and number of humps (contour used for
withholding tubeless tyre beads on the rim).
ET 31.5 = wheel camber angle (distance between the
disc/rim supporting plane and the wheel rim
centre line).

RIM PROTECTORS fig. 5a
Do not fit wheel caps when using caps fixed
(with springs) to the steel rim and tyres other
than factory-fitted tyres provided with Rim
Protector (fig. 5a). The use of unsuitable tyres and
wheel hub caps could cause a sudden pressure loss
in the tyre.
