IF THE BATTERY
IS FLAT
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is provided as an example
only. You are recommended to go to a
Lancia Dealership to have this oper-
ation performed.
Low amperage slow recharging for
approximately 24 hour is advised. A
long charge could damage the battery.
Proceed as follows to charge the bat-
tery:
❒disconnect battery negative termi-
nal;
❒connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the
poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting the
battery;
❒reconnect battery negative termi-
nal.IMPORTANT If the car is equipped
with an alarm system, disarm the
alarm system by means of the remote
control (see “Alarm” paragraph in
“Dashboard and controls”).
LIFTING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Lan-
cia Dealership which is equipped with
the arm hoist or workshop lift.
Lift the car exclusively by positioning
the jack arms or the shop jack in the
points shown in the figure.
Battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with your skin and eyes. The
battery recharging operation must
be performed in a ventilated placed
away from naked flames o possi-
ble sources of sparks to avoid the
risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Never attempt to recharge
a frozen battery: defrost it
first to prevent the risk of explo-
sion. If a battery was frozen, have
it inspected by specialised person-
nel before recharging to check that
the internal elements are not dam-
aged and that the casing is not
cracked causing the risk of leakage
of poisonous, corrosive gas.

The power brakes and
power steering will not
work while the car is being towed.
More effort on the brake pedal and
steering wheel will therefore be re-
quired. Do not use wires for tow-
ing. Do not jerk. Make sure not to
damage parts in contact with the
car while towing. Respect the spe-
cific rules of the Highway Code
when towing the car specifically in
relation to the towing device and
the behaviour to maintain on the
road.
WARNING
Before towing, turn the key
to MAR and then to STOP
without extracting it. The steering
column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the
wheels cannot be steered.
WARNING
Do not start the engine
while towing the car.

Before starting to tow, make sure to
have tighten the hook.
WARNINGThe front and rear tow
hooks must only be used for

towed for short distances when a
dedicated device is used in compli-
ance with the Highway Code (rigid
bar), 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 only take place with
two vehicles (one towing, the other
towed) travelling as far as possible
in alignment along the same centre-
line.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for
ensuring long car life under the best
conditions.
This is why Lancia has planned a se-
ries of checks and maintenance oper-
ations every 20,000 km.
Scheduled servicing will not however
fully cover all of the need of your car:
It is however important to remember
that scheduled servicing does not
completely cover all the car’s require-
ments: also in the initial period before
20.000 km service coupon and later,
between one coupon and another, or-
dinary care is still required such as for
example routine check and topping
up the level of fluids, tyre pressure
check, etc.IMPORTANT Scheduled service
coupons are required by the manu-
facturer. Default may cancel the war-
ranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by
all Lancia Dealerships at pre-estab-
lished times.If during each operation, in addition
to the ones programmed, the need
arises for further replacements or re-
pairs, these may only be carried out
with the explicit agreement of the
Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to con-
tact Lancia Dealership in the event of
any minor operating faults, without
waiting for the next service coupon.
If your car is used frequently for tow-
ing, the interval between one service
coupon and the other must be re-
duced.
