16KNOWING YOUR CAR
❍if the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g.
towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and,
if the light stays on, stop the car. Wait for 2 or 3 min-
utes with the engine running and slightly accelerated

keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.

REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, top-up the following:
❍engine coolant fluid level;
❍brake fluid level;
❍windscreen washer fluid level;
❍tyre pressure and condition;
❍operation of lighting system (headlights, direction in-
dicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❍operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system, po-
sition and wear of windscreen/rear window wiper
blades.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if required: engine oil

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.
