CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or
tires, observe the following precau-
tions:
 Use chains on P225/65R17 tiresonly.
 Because of restricted chain clear-
ance between tires and other sus-
pension components, it is impor-
tant that only chains in good
condition are used. Broken chains
can cause serious damage. Stop
the vehicle immediately if noise
occurs that could indicate chain
breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the chain before further
use.
 Do not exceed 70 km/h.
 Drive cautiously and avoid severe
turns and large bumps, especially
with a loaded vehicle.
 Install chains on the front wheels
as tightly as possible and then re-
tighten after driving about
0.8 km.
 Do not drive for prolonged periods
of time on dry pavement.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
 Observe the tire chain manufac-
tur er's instructions on the method
of installation, operating speed,
and conditions for use. Always use
the lower suggested operating
speed of the chain manufacturer,
if different from the speed r ecom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer.
Always use the lower suggested oper-
ating speed if the chain manufacturer
and vehicle manufacturer suggest dif-
ferent maximum speeds. This notice
applies to all chain traction devices,
including link and cable (radial)
chains.
TIRE ROTATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Tires on the front and rear axles of
vehicles operate at different loads and
perform different steering, driving,
and braking functions. For these rea-
sons, they wear at unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by
timely rotation of tires. The benefits
of rotation are especially worthwhile with aggressive tread designs such as
those on all season type tires. Rotation
will increase tread life, help to main-
tain mud, snow and wet traction lev-
els, and contribute to a smooth, quiet
ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
The reasons for any rapid or unusual
wear should be corrected prior to ro-
tation being performed.
TIRE PRESSURE
MONITOR SYSTEM
(TPMS)
The TPMS will warn the driver of a
low tire pressure based on the cold
inflation tire pressure requirements
found on the tire placard located on
the
driver's-side B-pillar.
The tire pressure will vary with tem-
perature by about 0.069 BAR for ev-
ery 6.5°C. This means that when the
outside temperature decreases, the
tire pressure will decrease. Tire pres-
sure should always be set based on
cold inflation tire pressure. This is
defined as the tire pressure after a
vehicle has not been driven for more

TOWING TIPS
Before setting out on a trip, practice
turning, stopping and backing the
trailer in an area away from heavy
traffic.
Automatic Transmission
The DRIVE gear can be selected when
towing. However, if frequent shifting
occurs while in DRIVE, select a lower
gear range using the Electronic Range
Select (ERS) shift control. NOTE:
Using a lower gear range while op-
erating the vehicle under heavy
operating conditions will improve
performance and extend transmis-
sion life by reducing excessive
shifting and heat build up. This
action will also provide better en-
gine braking.
The automatic transmission fluid and
filter should be changed if you REGU-
LARLY tow a trailer for more than
45 minutes of continuous operation.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
Electronic Speed Control (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
 Do not use in hilly terrain or with
heavy loads.
 When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater
than 16 km/h, disengage until you
can get back to cruising speed.
 Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel
efficiency.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a so-
phisticated onboard diagnostic sys-
tem called OBD II. This system moni-
tors the performance of the emissions,
engine, and automatic transmission
control systems. When these systems
are operating properly, your vehicle
will provide excellent performance
and fuel economy, as well as engine
emissions well within current govern-
ment regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the OBD II system will turn on the
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).”
It will also store diagnostic codes and
other information to assist your ser-
vice technician in making repairs. Al-
though your vehicle will usually be
drivable and not need towing, see
your authorized dealer for service as
soon as possible.
CAUTION!
 Prolonged driving with the MILon could cause further damage to
the emission control system. It
could also affect fuel economy
and driveability. The vehicle must
be serviced before any emissions
tests can be performed.
 If the MIL is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service
is required.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Use of genuine parts for normal/
scheduled maintenance and repairs is
highly recommended to ensure the de-
signed performance.
Damage or failures caused by the use
of parts which are not quality-
equivalent to genuine parts for main-
tenance and repairs will not be cov-
ered by the manufacturer’s warranty. MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES
The pages that follow contain the
re-
quired maintenance services deter-
mined by the engineers who designed
your vehicle.
Besides those maintenance items
specified in the fixed maintenance
schedule, there are other components
which may require servicing or re-
placement in the future.
CAUTION!
 Failure to properly maintain your vehicle or perform repairs and
service when necessary could re-
sult in more costly repairs, dam-
age to other components or nega-
tively impact vehicle
performance. Immediately have
potential malfunctions examined
by an authorized dealer or quali-
fied repair center.

CAUTION!(Continued)
 Car maintenance should be done
at a LANCIA Dealership. For rou-
tine and minor maintenance op-
erations you wish to carry out
yourself, we do recommend you
have the proper equipment, genu-
ine LANCIA spare parts and the
necessary fluids; do not however
carry out these operations if you
have no experience.
 Your vehicle has been built with
improved fluids that protect the
performance and durability of
your vehicle and also allow ex-
tended maintenance intervals. Do
not use chemical flushes in these
components as the chemicals can
damage your engine, transmis-
sion, power steering or air condi-
tioning. Such damage is not cov-
ered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. If a flush is needed be-
cause of component malfunction,
use only the specified fluid for the
flushing procedure. ENGINE OIL
Checking Oil Level
To assure proper engine lubrication,
the engine oil must be maintained at
the correct level. Check the oil level at
regular intervals, such as every fuel
stop.
The best time to check the engine oil
level is about five minutes after a fully
warmed engine is shut off or before
starting the engine after it has sat
overnight.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is
on level ground will improve the ac-
curacy of the oil level readings. Main-
tain the oil level between the MIN and
MAX markings on the dipstick. Add-
ing one quart of oil when the reading
is at the MIN mark will result in a
MAX reading on these engines.
CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling will cause
oil aeration or loss of oil pressure.
This could damage your engine.
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.
Change Engine Oil – All Engines
The oil change indicator system will
remind you that it is time to take your
vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for
further information on this system.

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.

Cooling System – Drain, Flush,
And Refill
If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is
dirty or contains a considerable
amount of sediment, clean and flush
with a reliable cooling system cleaner.
Follow with a thorough rinsing to re-
move all deposits and chemicals.
Properly dispose of the old engine
coolant (antifreeze) solution.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
Selection Of Coolant
Use only the manufacturer's recom-
mended engine coolant (antifreeze).
Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants and
Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for further information.
CAUTION!
 Mixing of engine coolant (anti-freeze) other than specified engine
coolant (antifreeze), may result in
engine damage and may decrease
corrosion protection. If a non-
specified engine coolant (anti-
freeze) is introduced into the cool-
ing system in an emergency, it
should be replaced with the speci-
fied engine coolant (antifreeze) as
soon as possible.
 Do not use water alone or alcohol
based engine coolant (antifreeze)
products. Do not use additional
rust inhibitors or anti-rust prod-
ucts, as they may not be compat-
ible with the radiator engine cool-
ant (antifreeze) and may plug the
radiator.
 This vehicle has not been de-
signed for use with Propylene
Glycol-based engine coolant (an-
tifreeze). Use of Propylene Glycol-
based engine coolant (antifreeze)
is not recommended. Adding Coolant
Your vehicle has been built with an
improved engine coolant (antifreeze)
that allows extended maintenance in-
tervals. This engine coolant (anti-
freeze) can be used up to five years or
168 000 km before replacement. To
prevent reducing this extended main-
tenance period, it is important that
you use the same engine coolant (an-
tifreeze) throughout the life of your
vehicle.
Use only high purity water such as
distilled or deionized water when
mixing the water/engine coolant (an-
tifreeze) solution. The use of lower
quality water will reduce the amount
of corrosion protection in the engine
cooling system.
Please note that it is the owner's re-
sponsibility to maintain the proper
level of protection against freezing ac-
cording to the temperatures occurring
in the area where the vehicle is oper-
ated.
