LANCIA engine air cleaner filters are
a high quality filter and are recom-
mended.
MAINTENANCE-FREE
BATTERY
The top of the maintenance-free bat-
tery is permanently sealed. You will
never have to add water, nor is peri-
odic maintenance required.
NOTE: The battery is stored in a
compartment behind the left front
fender and is accessible without
removing the tire and wheel. Re-
mote battery terminals are located
in the engine compartment for
jump-starting. Refer to “Jump-
Starting Procedures” in “What To
Do In Emergencies” for further
information.
To access the battery, turn the steering
wheel fully to the right and remove
the inner fender shield.
WARNING!
Battery fluid is a corrosive acidsolution and can burn or even
blind you. Do not allow battery
fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or
clothing. Do not lean over a bat-
tery when attaching clamps. If
acid splashes in eyes or on skin,
flush the area immediately with
large amounts of water.
Battery gas is flammable and ex-
plosive. Keep flame or sparks
away from the battery. Do not use
a booster battery or any other
booster source with an output
greater than 12 Volts. Do not al-
low cable clamps to touch each
other.
Battery posts, terminals, and re- lated accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wash hands af-
ter handling.
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
charger to the battery. Do not use
a “fast charger” to provide start-
ing voltage.

4. Pull the bulb out of the socket and
replace the bulb.
5. If the bulb comes in contact with
any oily surface, clean the bulb with
rubbing alcohol.
6. Reinsert the bulb and socket as-
sembly and rotate clockwise one-
quarter turn to secure.
FRONT TURN SIGNAL
1. Raise and prop open the hood.
2.
Rotate the bulb's electrical connec-
tor one-quarter turn counterclockwise
and remove it from the headlamp hous-
ing.
3. Remove the bulb from the connec-
tor socket and install the replacement
bulb.
4. Install the bulb and connector as-
sembly into the headlamp housing
and rotate the connector one-quarter
turn clockwise to lock it in place.
FRONT FOG LAMP
NOTE:
Access to the lamps through
the lower fascia cutout is limited. We
recommend you access the lamps by
turning the steering wheel to allow
access and remove the inner fender
shield.
1. Rotate the bulb's electrical con-
nector one-quarter turn counter-
clockwise and remove it from the fog
lamp housing.
2. Remove the bulb from the connec-
tor socket and install the replacement
bulb.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with
your fingers. Oil contamination will
severely shorten bulb life. If the
bulb comes in contact with an oily
surface, clean the bulb with rub-
bing alcohol.
3. Install the bulb and connector as-
sembly into the fog lamp housing and
rotate the connector one-quarter turn
clockwise to lock it in place.
REAR TURN SIGNAL
LAMPS
1. Open the trunk and gently pull
back the trunk liner behind the tail

In this case optimum engine perfor-
mance is not guaranteed and the lubri-
cants should be replaced with recom-
mended products as soon as possible.
The use of products with features
lower than ILSAC GF-5 could cause
engine damage not covered by the
warranty.

Periodic Checks
Every1,000 km or before long jour-
neys, check and, if necessary, restore:
engine coolant;
brake fluid;
Power Steering Fluid;
windshield washer fluid level;
power steering fluid;
tire inflation pressure and condition; operation of lighting system (head- lights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of windshield washer/ wiper system and positioning/wear
of windshield/rear window wiper
blades.
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if
required, the engine oil level. Heavy-Duty Use Of The Car
If the car is used mainly under one of
the following conditions:
towing a trailer or caravan;
dusty roads;
short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures; engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long pe-
riods of idleness.
You should perform the following in-
spections more frequently than shown
on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
check front disc brake pad condi- tions and wear;
check cleanliness of hood and trunk locks, cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage; visually inspect conditions of: en-
gine, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (boots - sleeves -
bushes - etc.);
check battery charge and battery fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect condition of the accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change engine oil and replace oil filter;
check and, if necessary, replace pol- len filter;
check and, if necessary, replace air cleaner.
