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.
