2013 Lancia Flavia air filter

Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recom-
mends against using any special addi-
tives in the transmission. Automatic
Transmission Fluid (ATF) is an engi-
neered product and its performance
may be impaired by supplemental ad-
ditives. Therefore, do not add any
fluid additives to the transmission.
The only exception to this policy is the
use of special dyes for diagnosing
fluid leaks. 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 Warranty.
Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory
and does not require adjustment un-
der normal operating conditions.
Routine fluid level checks are not re-
quired, therefore the transmission has
no dipstick. Your authorized dealer
can check your transmission fluid
level using a special service dipstick.
If you notice fluid leakage or trans-
mission malfunction, visit your au-
thorized dealer immediately to have
the transmission fluid level checked.
Operating the vehicle with an im-
proper fluid level can cause severe
transmission damage.CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs,
visit your authorized dealer imme-
diately. Severe transmission dam-
age may occur. Your authorized
dealer has the proper tools to adjust
the fluid level accurately.Fluid And Filter Changes
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
In addition, change the fluid and filter
if the transmission is disassembled for
any reason.
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.

1. Raise and prop open the hood.
Locate the connector behind the
headlamp.
NOTE: It may be necessary to re-
move the air cleaner filter housing
and position the totally integrated
power module aside prior to re-
placing the low beam headlamp on
the driver's side of the vehicle.
2. Reach into engine compartment
and from behind the lamp assembly
and grasp the connector. 3. Rotate bulb and connector one-
quarter turn and pull outward from
