AND CARE
Prevent brake fluid which
is highly corrosive from
coming into contact with
painted parts. Should this
occur, immediately wash with wa-
ter.
Brake fluid is poisonous
and highly corrosive. In
the case of accidental contact, wash
the parts with water and mild soap
and rinse with plenty of water.
Call a doctor immediately if swal-
lowed.
WARNING
Symbolπon the contain
indicates a synthetic brake
fluid, which is different from a

type fluid will damage the special
rubber seals of the braking system
beyond repair.
WARNING
FUEL FILTER
(green filter)
DRAINING CONDENSATION
(Multijet versions)
The presence of water in
the feeding circuit may
cause severe damage to the injec-
tion system and irregular engine
operation. If the warning lights c
on the cluster lights up or a mes-
sage appears on the reconfigurable
multifunctional display (some ver-
sions), contact a Lancia Dealership
to have the system bled. Water may
have been introduced in the tank if
this appears immediately after re-
fuelling: in this case, stop the en-
gine immediately and contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
CHECKING CHARGE
AND ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
The operations must be carried out as
described in this Owner’s Handbook
only by specialised personnel.
Topping must be carried out by spe-
cialised personnel at a Lancia Dealer-
ship.
Battery liquid is poisonous
and corrosive. Avoid con-
tact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk
of explosion and fire.
WARNING
BATTERY
The battery is of the low maintenance
type and the electrolyte does not need
to be topped up with distilled water in
normal conditions of use.

Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the
engine compartment thoroughly, tak-
ing care not to aim the jet of water di-
rectly at the electronic control units or
at the windscreen wiper motors. Have
this operation performed at a spe-
cialised workshop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation
on a cold engine and with the key at
STOP. After the washing operation,
make sure that the various protections
(e.g. rubber caps and guards) have
not removed or damaged.
Never use flammable
products, such as petrol
ether or rectified petrol to clean in-
side the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by
rubbing during the cleaning oper-
ation may cause a fire.
WARNING
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts
with a moist cloth and a solution of
water and mild soap. Use specific
products for cleaning plastic, without
solvents and specifically designed to
prevent damage to the appearance
and colour of the treated parts to re-
move grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or pe-
troleum to clean the instrument panel.INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to water
dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the
sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
PA R T S
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use
a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moist-
ened with a solution of water and
neutral detergent.
