HAZARD WARNING
FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning flasher switch is
located in the lower center area of the
instrument panel.Press the switch to turn on the
Hazard Warning flasher. When
the switch is activated, all di-
rectional turn signals will flash on and
off to warn oncoming traffic of an
emergency. Press the switch a second
time to turn off the Hazard Warning
flashers.
This is an emergency warning system
and it should not be used when the
vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a
safety hazard for other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to
seek assistance, the Hazard Warning
flashers will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in the
OFF position.
NOTE:
With extended use the Hazard
Warning flashers may wear down
your battery. IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you
can reduce the potential for overheat-
ing by taking the appropriate action.
 On the highways — slow down.
 In city traffic — while stopped,
place the transmission in NEU-
TRAL, but do not increase engine
idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to
slow down an impending overheat
condition:
 If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system
adds heat to the engine cooling
system and turning the A/C off
can help remove this heat.
 You can also turn the tempera- ture control to maximum heat,
the mode control to floor and the
blower control to high. This al-
lows the heater core to act as a
supplement to the radiator and
aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system
could damage your vehicle. If tem-
perature gauge reads “H”, pull over
and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle
with the air conditioner turned off
until the pointer drops back into the
normal range. If the pointer remains
on the “H”, turn the engine off im-
mediately, and call for service.WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned
by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or
steam from your radiator. If you see
or hear steam coming from under
the hood, do not open the hood until
the radiator has had time to cool.
Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or
coolant bottle is hot.

CAUTION!
 It is essential when replacing thecables on the battery that the
positive cable is attached to the
positive post and the negative
cable is attached to the negative
post. Battery posts are marked
positive (+) and negative (-) and
are identified on the battery case.
Cable clamps should be tight on
the terminal posts and free of cor-
rosion.
 If a “fast charger” is used while
the battery is in the vehicle, dis-
connect both vehicle battery
cables before connecting the char-
ger to battery. Do not use a “fast
charger” to provide starting volt-
age.
AIR CONDITIONER
MAINTENANCE
For best possible performance, your
air conditioner should be checked and
serviced by an authorized dealer at
the start of each warm season. This
service should include cleaning of the
condenser fins and a system perfor- mance check. Drive belt tension
should also be checked at this time.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
air conditioning system as the
chemicals can damage your air con-
ditioning components. Such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.WARNING!
 Use only refrigerants and com-
pressor lubricants approved by
the manufacturer for your air con-
ditioning system. Some unap-
proved refrigerants are flammable
and can explode, injuring you.
Other unapproved refrigerants or
lubricants can cause the system to
fail, requiring costly repairs.
 The air conditioning system con-
tains refrigerant under high pres-
sure. To avoid risk of personal in-
jury or damage to the system,
adding refrigerant or any repair
requiring lines to be disconnected
should be done by an experienced
repairman. Refrigerant Recovery And
Recycling
R-134a air conditioning refrigerant is
a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) that is
endorsed by the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency and is an ozone-saving
product. However, the manufacturer
recommends that air conditioning
service be performed by an autho-
rized dealer, or other authorized ser-
vice facility, using recovery and recy-
cling equipment.
NOTE:
Use only manufacturer-approved
A/C System Sealers, Stop Leak
Products, Seal Conditioners, Com-
pressor Oil, or Refrigerants.

Points To Remember
NOTE:
When the vehicle is stopped after a
few kilometers of operation, you
may observe vapor coming from
the front of the engine compart-
ment. This is normally a result of
moisture from rain, snow, or high
humidity accumulating on the ra-
diator and being vaporized when
the thermostat opens, allowing hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) to enter
the radiator.
If an examination of your engine com-
partment shows no evidence of radia-
tor or hose leaks, the vehicle may be
safely driven. The vapor will soon dis-
sipate.
 Do not overfill the coolant recoverybottle.
 Check the engine coolant (anti- freeze) freeze point in the radiator
and in the coolant recovery bottle.
If engine coolant (antifreeze) needs
to be added, contents of the coolant
recovery bottle must also be pro-
tected against freezing.  If frequent engine coolant (anti-
freeze) additions are required, or if
the level in the coolant recovery
bottle does not drop when the en-
gine cools, the cooling system
should be pressure tested for leaks.
 Maintain engine coolant (anti- freeze) concentration at 50% en-
gine coolant (antifreeze) (mini-
mum) and distilled water for
proper corrosion protection of your
engine, which contains aluminum
components.
 Make sure that the radiator and coolant recovery bottle overflow
hoses are not kinked or obstructed.
 Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is equipped with air
conditioning, also keep the front of
the condenser clean.
 Do not change the thermostat for Summer or Winter operation. If re-
placement is ever necessary, install
ONLY the correct type thermostat.
Other designs may result in unsat-
isfactory coolant performance,
poor gas mileage, and increased
emissions. BRAKES
In order to assure brake system per-
formance, all brake system compo-
nents should be inspected periodi-
cally. Refer to the “Maintenance
Schedule” for the proper maintenance
intervals.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake
failure and possibly an accident.
Driving with your foot resting or rid-
ing on the brake pedal can result in
abnormally high brake tempera-
tures, excessive lining wear, and pos-
sible brake damage. You would not
have your full braking capacity in an
emergency.CAUTION!
Car maintenance should be done at
a LANCIA Dealership. For routine
and minor maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, we do
recommend you have the proper
equipment, genuine LANCIA spare
parts and the necessary fluids; do
not however carry out these opera-
tions if you have no experience.

The heated mirrors, lower instrument
panel power outlet and removable
floor console, when in the front posi-
tion are fused with self-resetting fuses
that are only serviceable by an autho-
rized dealer. The power seats are
fused by a 30 Amp circuit breaker
located under the driver's seat. The
power windows are fused by a
25 Amp circuit breaker located under
the instrument panel near the steering
column. If you experience temporary or permanent loss of these systems,
see your authorized dealer for service.
VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dor-
mant for more than 21 days, you may
want to take steps to protect your
battery. You may do the following:
 Remove the 20 Amp mini-fuse in
the Totally Integrated Power Mod-
ule (TIPM) labeled Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD).  Or, disconnect the negative cable
from the battery.
 Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service for two weeks
or more, run the air conditioning
system at idle for about five min-
utes in the fresh air and high blower
setting. This will ensure adequate
system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage
when the system is started again.
