SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been at-
tached near or actually on some of the
components of your car. These labels
bear symbols that remind you of the
precautions to be taken as regards
that particular component.
The plate summarising the symbols
used can be found under the bonnet
fig. 9.
THE LANCIA CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
from attempted theft of the car. It is
automatically activated when the ig-
nition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic de-
vice which modulates the signal emit-
ted during ignition by an antenna in-
corporated in the ignition device. This
signal is the ‘password’ which changes
at each ignition and which the control
unit uses to recognise the key and al-
low ignition.

MAINTENANCE
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.
