AND CARE
Proceed very carefully in-
side the engine compart-
ment when the engine is hot: risk of
burns. Remember that the fan may
start up if the engine is hot: risk of
injury. Pay attention to scarves,
ties and other loose fitting gar-
ments: they could get dragged by
the moving parts.
WARNING
Waste engine oil and oil fil-
ters contains substances
which are dangerous for the
environment. You are ad-
vised to go to a Lancia Dealership to
have the oil and filters replaced.

Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consump-
tion is usually 400 grams every 1000
km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered sta-
bilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on driving style and the con-
ditions under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Always top up using
engine oil of the same types as that al-
ready in the engine.
fig. 7 - 1.416VversionsL0D0208m
Topping up engine oil
If the oil level is near or even under
theMINline, add oil through the filler
to reach the MAXline. Oil level shall
never exceed the MAXline.
IMPORTANT If the engine oil level
after the check is over the MAXlevel,
go to a Lancia Dealership to have the
correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or chang-
ing the oil, let the engine turn over for
a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after turning it off before you check
the level.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 11-12
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must be
between the MINandMAXlines on
the vessel.
If the level is so, slowly pour a mixture of
demineralised water and PETRONAS
LUBRICANTSPA R A F L U
UPin a 50-50
proportion.
A 50-50 mixture of PA R A F L U
UPand
distilled water gives freeze protection
to 35°C.
IMPORTANT Do not remove the cap
from the vessel when the engine is
very hot: risk of burns.

BRAKE FLUID fig. 14
Release cap: check that the liquid
contained in the tank is at the maxi-
mum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAXmark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the
“Fluids and lubricants” table (see
“Technical Specifications”).
NOTE Carefully clean the cap of
reservoir A and the surrounding sur-
face.
When opening the cap, make sure
that no dirt gets into the reservoir.
For topping up always use a funnel
with built-in filter (mesh smaller than
or equal to 0.12 mm).
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygro-
scopic (i.e. it absorbs moisture). For
this reason, if the car is mainly used
in areas with a high degree of atmos-
pheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals
than specified in the “Service sched-
ule”.

Do not travel with the
windscreen washing reser-
voir empty: the action of the wind-
screen washer is essential for im-
proving visibility.
WARNING
Some commercial addi-
tives for windscreen wash-
ing are flammable. The engine
compartment contains hot parts
which could start a fire if they
come into contact.

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

AND CARE
Running the battery with
an excessively low liquid
level will damage the battery be-
yond repair and even cause an ex-
plosion.
WARNING
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a
genuine spare part having the same
specifications.
If a battery with different specifica-
tions is fitted, the service intervals
given in the “Service schedule” in this
section will no longer apply.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s in-
structions for maintenance.Batteries contain very dan-
gerous substances for the
environment. You are rec-
ommended to go to a Lan-
cia Dealership to have the battery
replaced where the old battery will
be disposed of respecting both the
environment and the laws in force.Incorrect assembly of elec-
tric and electronic devices
may cause severe damage
to your car. Go to a Lancia
Dealership if you want to install ac-
cessories (alarms, mobile phone,
etc.): they will suggest the most suit-
able devices and advise you if a
higher capacity battery needs to be
installed.USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and
lengthen its life, observe the following
indications:
❒when the car is parked, make sure
that the doors, bonnet and tailgate
are closed properly to make sure
that the lights inside the passenger
compartment go out;
❒switch off all lights inside the vehi-
cle: the car is however equipped
with a system which switches all in-
ternal lights off automatically;
❒do not keep devices (e.g. sound sys-
tem, hazard lights, etc.) on for a
long time with the engine off;
❒before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
battery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be
perfectly tightened.
If the car is left for long
periods in very cold envi-
ronments, remove the battery and
store it in a warm place to prevent
freezing.
WARNING
Always wear the proper
protective eyewear when
working on the battery or near it.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
To correctly wash the car:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to
prevent damage to it if the car is
washed in an automatic system;
❒wash the body using a low pres-
sure jet of water;
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, fre-
quently rinsing with the sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with
a jet of air or a chamois leather.
Dry the parts less in sight particularly
carefully, such as the door frames and
the headlight frames, where water
may stagnate more easily. It is a good
idea to leave the car in the open for a
while after washing it to give time for
the water to evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been
parked in the sun or when the engine
is bonnet is hot: this could take the
shine off the paint.Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under
trees; the resinous substance many
species release give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibil-
ity of triggering rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thor-
oughly as the acid they contain is par-
ticularly aggressive.Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratch-
ing the glass or damaging the trans-
parency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window
inside gently with a cloth in the di-
rection of the filaments to avoid dam-
aging the heating device.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes
(e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front
headlight plastic lens.Detergents pollute the envi-
ronment. The vehicle
should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and
purifying the liquid used in the
washing process.

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.
