Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your
vehicle. Use only tow bars and other
equipment designed for this purpose,
following equipment manufacturer’s
instructions. Use of safety chains is
mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other
towing device to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bum-
pers or associated brackets. State and
local laws regarding vehicles under
tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers,
defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the
ignition must be in the ON/RUN posi-
tion, not the ACC position.If the vehicle's battery is discharged,
see "Shift Lever Override" in "What
To Do In Emergencies" for instruc-
tions on shifting the automatic trans-
mission out of PARK for towing.
CAUTION!
 Do not use sling type equipment when towing. Damage to the fas-
cia will occur.
 When securing the vehicle to a
flatbed truck, do not attach to
front or rear suspension compo-
nents. Damage to your vehicle
may result from improper towing.
 Do not push or tow this vehicle with another vehicle as damage to
the bumper fascia and transmis-
sion may result.

WINDSHIELD WIPER
BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield periodi-
cally with a sponge or soft cloth and a
mild non-abrasive cleaner or use the
washer solvent. This will remove ac-
cumulations of salt, waxes, or road
film and help reduce streaking and
smearing.Operation of the wipers on dry glass for
long periods may cause deterioration of
the wiper blades. Always use washer
fluid when using the wipers to remove
salt or dirt from a dry windshield.Avoid using the wiper blades to re-
move frost or ice from the windshield.
Make sure that they are not frozen to
the glass before turning them on to
avoid damaging the blade.
NOTE: Life expectancy of wiper
blades varies depending on geo-
graphical area and frequency of
use. Poor performance of blades
may be present with chattering,
marks, water lines or wet spots.If any of these conditions are pres-
ent, clean the wiper blades or re-
place as necessary.
ADDING WASHER FLUID
The windshield washer and the rear
window washer share the same fluid
reservoir. The fluid reservoir is lo-
cated in the engine compartment. Be
sure to check the fluid level in the
reservoir at regular intervals. Fill the
reservoir with windshield washer sol-
vent (not radiator antifreeze) and op-
erate the system for a few seconds to
flush out the residual water.
When refilling the washer fluid reser-
voir, apply some washer fluid to a
cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade per-
formance.
To prevent freeze-up of your wind-
shield washer system in cold weather,
select a solution or mixture that meets
or exceeds the temperature range of
your climate. This rating information
can be found on most washer fluid
containers.
WARNING!Commercially available windshield
washer solvents are flammable. They
could ignite and burn you. Care must
be exercised when filling or working
around the washer solution.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.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
