SUMMER OPERATION
The engine cooling system in air con-
ditioned vehicles must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant
to provide proper corrosion protection
and to protect against engine over-
heating. A solution of 50% ethylene
glycol antifreeze coolant and 50%
water is recommended. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for proper cool-
ant selection.
WINTER OPERATION
To ensure the best possible heater and
defroster performance, make sure the
engine cooling system is functioning
properly and the proper amount,
type, and concentration of coolant is
used. Refer to “Maintenance Proce-
dures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”
for proper coolant selection. Use of
the air Recirculation mode during
Winter months is not recommended,
because it may cause window fogging. VACATION/STORAGE
Before you store your vehicle, or keep
it out of service (i.e., vacation) for two
weeks or more, run the air condition-
ing system at idle for about five min-
utes, in fresh air with the blower set-
ting on high. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to mini-
mize the possibility of compressor
damage when the system is started
again.
WINDOW FOGGING
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the
inside in mild, rainy and/or humid
weather. To clear the windows, select
Defrost or Mix mode and increase the
front blower speed. Do not use the
Recirculation mode without A/C for
long periods, as fogging may occur.
OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE
Make sure the air intake, located di-
rectly in front of the windshield, is
free of obstructions such as leaves.
Leaves collected in the air intake may
reduce airflow, and if they enter the
plenum they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months make sure
the air intake is clear of ice, slush and
snow.
OPERATING TIPS
A/C AIR FILTER
On vehicles equipped with Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC), the cli-
mate control system filters out dust
and pollen from the air. Refer to “Air
Conditioning” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for filter replacement in-
structions.220

oil that meets FIAT Qualification
9.55535, API SM/CF, ACEA C3 or
equivalent.
Synthetic Engine Oils
You may use synthetic engine oils pro-
vided the recommended oil quality
requirements are met, and the recom-
mended maintenance intervals for oil
and filter changes are followed.
Materials Added To Engine Oil
Do not add any supplemental materi-
als, other than leak detection dyes, to
the engine oil. Engine oil is an engi-
neered product and its performance
may be impaired by supplemental ad-
ditives.
Disposing Of Used Engine Oil And
Oil Filters
Care should be taken in disposing of
used engine oil and oil filters from
your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters,
indiscriminately discarded, can pres-
ent a problem to the environment.
Contact your dealer, service station,
or governmental agency for advice on
how and where used oil and oil filters
can be safely discarded in your area.ENGINE OIL FILTER
The engine oil filter should be re-
placed with a new filter at every en-
gine oil change.
Engine Oil Filter Selection
This manufacturer's engines have a
full-flow type oil filter. Use a filter of
this type for replacement. The quality
of replacement filters varies consider-
ably. Only high quality filters should
be used to assure most efficient ser-
vice. LANCIA engine oil filters are a
high quality oil filter and are recom-
mended.
ENGINE AIR CLEANER
FILTER
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
The air induction system (air
cleaner, hoses, etc.) can provide a
measure of protection in the case of
engine backfire. Do not remove the
air induction system (air cleaner,
hoses, etc.) unless such removal is
necessary for repair or maintenance.
Make sure that no one is near the
engine compartment before starting
the vehicle with the air induction
system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.) re-
moved. Failure to do so can result in
serious personal injury.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter
Selection
The quality of replacement engine air
cleaner filters varies considerably.
Only high quality filters should be
used to assure most efficient service.
LANCIA engine air cleaner filters are
a high quality filter and are recom-
mended.

A/C Air Filter (for versions/
markets, where provided)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.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.WARNING!
Do not remove the A/C air filter
while the blower is operating or per-
sonal injury may result.
The A/C air filter is located in the
fresh air inlet behind the glove box.
Perform the following procedure to
replace the filter:
1. Open the glove compartment and
remove all contents.
2. Push in on the sides of the glove
compartment and lower the door. 3. Pivot the glove compartment
downward.
4. Disengage the two retaining tabs
that secure the filter cover to the
HVAC housing, and remove the cover.
5. Remove the A/C air filter by pull-
ing it straight out of the housing.
6. Install the A/C air filter with the
arrow on the filter pointing toward
the floor. When installing the filter
cover, make sure the retaining tabs
fully engage the cover.
CAUTION!
The A/C air filter is identified with
an arrow to indicate airflow direc-
tion through the filter. Failure to
properly install the filter will result
in the need to replace it more often.
7. Rotate the glove compartment
door back into position.
BODY LUBRICATION
Locks and all body pivot points, in-
cluding such items as seat tracks, door
hinge pivot points and rollers, liftgate,
tailgate, sliding doors and hood
hinges, should be lubricated periodi-
cally with a lithium-based grease or
equivalent, to assure quiet, easy op-
eration and to protect against rust and
wear. Prior to the application of any
lubricant, the parts concerned should
be wiped clean to remove dust and
grit; after lubricating excess oil and
grease should be removed. Particular
attention should also be given to hood
latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other un-
derhood services, the hood latch, re-
lease mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be
lubricated twice a year, preferably in
the Fall and Spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant
directly into the lock cylinder.

hicle” for further information. It is
important that the transmission fluid
be maintained at the prescribed level
using the recommended fluid. No
chemical flushes should be used in
any transmission; only the approved
lubricant may be used.CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other
than the manufacturer's recom-
mended fluid may cause deteriora-
tion in transmission shift quality
and/or torque converter shudder.
Using a transmission fluid other
than the manufacturer's recom-
mended fluid will require more fre-
quent fluid and filter changes. Refer
to “Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.
Special Additives
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)
is an engineered product and its per-
formance may be impaired by supple-
mental additives. Therefore, do not
add any fluid additives to the trans-
mission. The only exception to this
policy is the use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks. In addition,
avoid using transmission sealers as
they may adversely affect seals.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
transmission as the chemicals can
damage your transmission compo-
nents. Such damage is not covered
by the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
Fluid Level Check
The six-speed automatic transmission
is a sealed unit and has no dipstick.
Routine fluid level checks are not re-
quired. However, if you notice fluid
leakage or transmission malfunction,
visit your authorized dealer immedi-
ately to have the fluid level checked.
Operation with an improper fluid
level can greatly reduce the life of
your transmission. Your dealer can
check the fluid level using a special
service dipstick.
Ask your dealer to check the trans-
mission fluid level whenever the ve-
hicle is serviced. Fluid And Filter Changes
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
If the transmission is disassembled for
any reason, the fluid and filter should
be changed.
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.
