2013 Lancia Flavia engine

CAUTION!
 Mixing of engine coolant (anti-freeze) other than specified en-
gine coolant (antifreeze), may re-
sult in engine damage and may
decrease corrosion protection. If a
non-specified engine coolant (an-
tifreeze) is introduced into the
cooling system in an emergency, it
should be replaced with the speci-
fied engine coolant (antifreeze) as
soon as possible.
Do not use plain water alone or
alcohol-based engine coolant (an-
tifreeze) products. Do not use ad-
ditional rust inhibitors or antirust
products, as they may not be com-
patible with the radiator engine
coolant (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 ten years or
240 000 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.
When adding engine coolant (anti-
freeze):
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 respon-
sibility to maintain the proper level of
protection against freezing according to
the temperatures occurring in the area
where the vehicle is operated.
NOTE: Mixing engine coolant
(antifreeze) types will decrease the
life of the engine coolant (anti-
freeze) and will require more fre-
quent coolant changes.
Cooling System Pressure Cap
The cap must be fully tightened to
prevent loss of engine coolant (anti-
freeze), and to ensure that the engine
coolant (antifreeze) will return to the
radiator from the coolant recovery
bottle.The cap should be inspected and
cleaned if there is any accumulation of
foreign material on the sealing surfaces.WARNING!
 The warning words “DO NOT
OPEN HOT” on the cooling sys-
tem pressure cap are a safety pre-
caution. Never add engine cool-
ant (antifreeze) when the engine
is overheated. Do not loosen or
remove the cap to cool an over-
heated engine. Heat causes pres-
sure to build up in the cooling

WARNING!(Continued)
system. To prevent scalding or in-
jury, do not remove the pressure
cap while the system is hot or
under pressure.
 Do not use a pressure cap other
than the one specified for your
vehicle. Personal injury or engine
damage may result.
Disposal Of Used Engine Coolant
Used ethylene glycol-based engine
coolant (antifreeze) is a regulated
substance requiring proper disposal.
Check with your local authorities to
determine the disposal rules for your
community. To prevent ingestion by
animals or children, do not store eth-
ylene glycol-based engine coolant in
open containers or allow it to remain
in puddles on the ground. If ingested
by a child or pet, seek emergency as-
sistance immediately. Clean up any
ground spills immediately. Coolant Level
Four-Cylinder Engines –
the cool-
ant bottle provides a quick visual
method for determining that the en-
gine coolant (antifreeze) level is ad-
equate. With the engine idling and
warm to normal operating tempera-
ture, the level of the engine coolant
(antifreeze) in the bottle should be
between the “ADD” and “FULL”
lines, shown on the bottle.
The radiator normally remains com-
pletely full, so there is no need to
remove the radiator cap unless check-
ing for engine coolant (antifreeze)
freeze point or replacing coolant. Ad-
vise your service attendant of this. As
long as the engine operating tempera-
ture is satisfactory, the coolant bottle
need only be checked once a month.
When additional engine coolant (an-
tifreeze) is needed to maintain the
proper level, it should be added to the
coolant bottle. Do not overfill. Points To Remember
NOTE:
When the vehicle is stopped
after a few kilometers of operation,
you may observe vapor coming from
the front of the engine compartment.
This is normally a result of moisture
from rain, snow, or high humidity
accumulating on the radiator and
being vaporized when the thermo-
stat opens, allowing hot engine cool-
ant (antifreeze) to enter the radiator.
If an examination of your engine com-
partment shows no evidence of radiator
or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely
driven. The vapor will soon dissipate. Do not overfill the coolant recovery bottle.
 Check engine coolant (antifreeze) freeze point in the radiator and in
the coolant recovery bottle. If en-
gine coolant (antifreeze) needs to
be added, the contents of the cool-
ant recovery bottle must also be
protected against freezing.
200

 If frequent engine coolant (anti-freeze) additions are required, or if
the level in the coolant recovery
bottle does not drop when the en-
gine cools, the cooling system
should be pressure tested for leaks.
Maintain engine coolant (antifreeze)
concentration at 50% engine coolant
(antifreeze) (minimum) and dis-
tilled water for proper corrosion pro-
tection of your engine, which con-
tains aluminum components. Make sure that the radiator and coolant recovery bottle overflow
hoses are not kinked or obstructed.
 Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is equipped with air
conditioning, keep the front of the
condenser clean.
Do not change the thermostat for
Summer or Winter operation. If re-
placement is ever necessary, install
ONLY the correct type thermostat.
Other designs may result in unsatis-
factory cooling performance, poor
gas mileage, and increased emissions.
BRAKE SYSTEMIn order to assure brake system perfor-
mance, all brake system components
should be inspected periodically. Refer
to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the
proper maintenance intervals.WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake
failure and possibly a collision.
Driving with your foot resting or
riding on the brake pedal can result
in abnormally high brake tempera-
tures, excessive lining wear, and
possible brake damage. You would
not have your full braking capacity
in an emergency.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. Master Cylinder – Brake Fluid
Level Check
Check the fluid level in the master cyl-
inder immediately if the brake system
warning light indicates system failure.
Check the fluid level in the master cyl-
inder when performing underhood ser-
vices.Clean the top of the master cylinder
area before removing the cap. If nec-
essary, add fluid to bring the fluid
level up to the requirements described
on the brake fluid reservoir.
Overfilling of fluid is not recom-
mended because it may cause leaking
in the system.
Fluid level can be expected to fall as
the brake pads wear. Brake fluid level
should be checked when pads are re-
placed. However, low fluid level may
be caused by a leak and a checkup
may be needed.
Use only manufacturer's recom-
mended brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids,
Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.
201

WARNING!
 Use the manufacturer’s recom-mended brake fluid or a quality
equivalent product. Refer to
“Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.
Using the wrong type of brake
fluid can severely damage your
brake system and/or impair its
performance.
 To avoid contamination from for- eign matter or moisture, use only
new brake fluid or fluid that has
been in a tightly closed container.
Keep the master cylinder reser-
voir cap secured at all times.
Brake fluid in a open container
absorbs moisture from the air re-
sulting in a lower boiling point.
This may cause it to boil unex-
pectedly during hard or pro-
longed braking, resulting in sud-
den brake failure. This could
result in a collision.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Overfilling the brake fluid reser- voir can result in spilling brake
fluid on hot engine parts, causing
the brake fluid to catch fire.
Brake fluid can also damage
painted and vinyl surfaces, care
should be taken to avoid its con-
tact with these surfaces.
 Do not allow petroleum based
fluid to contaminate the brake
fluid. Brake seal components
could be damaged, causing par-
tial or complete brake failure.
This could result in a collision.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Selection Of Lubricant
It is important to use the propoer
transmission fluid to ensure optimum
transmission performance and life. Use only the manufacturer’s recom-
mended transmission fluid. Refer to
“Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”
for further information. It is impor-
tant to maintain the transmission
fluid at the correct level using the
recommended fluid.
No chemical flushes should be used in
any transmission; only the approved
lubricant should 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,
and will require more frequent fluid
and filter changes. Refer to “Fluids,
Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fluid
specifications.
