REPLACING FUSES
INTRODUCTION fig. 35
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action
(i.e. it cuts off) mainly due to a fault
or improper action on the system.
Check the efficiency of the corre-
sponding fuse when a device does not
work: the conducting element Amust
not be interrupted. If it is, replace the
blown fuse with another with the
same amperage (same colour).
B: intact fuse
C: fuse with damaged filament.
Use the tongs Din the fusebox on the
dashboard to change a fuse.
fig. 35L0D0198m
If a fuse blows again, con-
tact a Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with
another of higher amper-
age: FIRE RISK.
If a general protection fuse
(MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-
FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) blows, con-
tact your Lancia Dealership
WARNING
Remove the key from the
ignition switch and switch
off all loads before replacing a
fuse.
WARNING

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.

AND CARE
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km)
repeated and with external tem-
peratures below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long
distance low speed driving (e.g.
taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or
in case of a long term inactivity;
❒change engine oil more frequently
than shown on the “Service
Schedule”.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
When the car is used on dusty roads,
change the air cleaner more fre-
quently than shown on the “Service
Schedule”. Call a Lancia Dealership
for doubts regarding engine oil and
air cleaner replacement. IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
It is advisable to replace the filtering
element more frequently if the car is
used in dusty or very polluted places.
Specifically, replace if a lower air flow
into the passenger compartment is
found.
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
Using diesel not complying with Eu-
ropean Specification EN590 may lead
to the need to replace the diesel fuel
filter more frequently than shown in
the “Service Schedule”.IMPORTANT - Battery
Check the battery charge once a year,
preferably before the beginning to
winter, to prevent freezing of the elec-
trolyte.
Perform this inspection more fre-
quently if the car is mainly used for
short distances or if electrical devices
running with the key off are installed,
particularly after-market. Check the
battery level (electrolyte) more fre-
quently than shown on the “Service
Schedule” if the car is used in hot cli-
mates or in particularly demanding
conditions.
Take the car to a Lancia
Dealership for servicing.
Make sure you have the
right equipment, genuine
Lancia spare parts and consumables
for ordinary, minor interventions.
Do not attempt the operations if you
lack the experience.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
IMPORTANT A battery which is kept
at a charge of less than 50% (optical
indicator with dark colour without
green area in the middle) for any
length of time will be damaged by sul-
phation leading to a reduction in
cranking power.
The battery will also be more at risk
of freezing (e.g. already at -10°C).
In case of prolonged halt, refer to the
“Storing the car” paragraph in the
“Starting and driving” chapter.
If after buying the car, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm,
etc.) contact Lancia Dealership whose
qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices
from Lineaccessori Lancia, will eval-
uate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric
system is capable of withstanding the
load required, or whether it should be
integrated with a more powerful bat-
tery.
Since these devices continue absorb-
ing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the
battery.WHEELS AND
TYRES
Check the pressure of each type, in-
cluding the spare, approximately once
every two weeks and before starting a
long journey: this check must be per-
formed with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to increase
when the car is used. For the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels”
in “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wearfig. 15:
A: normal pressure: evenly worn
tread.
B: low pressure: tread particularly
worn on the edges.
C: excessive pressure: tread particu-
larly worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all
cases, follow the laws in force in the
country where you are driving.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning
starts and violent knocks against
the curb, potholes or other obsta-
cles if possible. Long distances on
rough roads may damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on
the sides, swelling or irregular tread
wear. Go to a Lancia Dealership if
required.
❒Do not overload your vehicle: this
may cause serious damage to
wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the ve-
hicle immediately and charge it to
avoid damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;

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.
