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 of
your vehicle's engine, the engine oil
must be maintained at the correct
level. The best time to check the en-
gine oil level is about five minutes
after a fully warmed engine is shut off.
Do not check oil level before starting
the engine after it has sat overnight.
Checking engine oil level when the
engine is cold will give you an incor-
rect reading.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is
on level ground and only when the
engine is hot, will improve the accu-
racy of the oil level readings. Maintain
the oil level between the range mark-
ings on the dipstick. Either the range
markings consist of a crosshatch zone
marked SAFE or a crosshatch zone
marked with MIN at the low end of
the range and MAX at the high end of
the range. Adding 1.0 Liter of oil
when the reading is at the low end of
the range marking will raise the oil
level to the high end of the range
marking.
CAUTION!
Do not overfill the engine. Over-
filling the engine will cause oil
aeration, which can lead to loss of
oil pressure and an increase in oil
temperature. This could damage
your engine. Also, be sure the oil
fill cap is replaced and tightened
after adding oil.
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.
Change Engine Oil
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.

AIR CONDITIONER
MAINTENANCE
For best possible performance, your
air conditioner should be checked and
serviced by an authorized dealer at
the start of each warm season. This
service should include cleaning of the
condenser fins and a performance
test. Drive belt tension should also be
checked at this time.CAUTION!Do not use chemical flushes in your
air conditioning system as the chemi-
cals can damage your air condition-
ing components. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.WARNING!
Use only refrigerants and compres-
sor lubricants approved by the
manufacturer for your air condi-
tioning system. Some unapproved
refrigerants are flammable and can
explode, injuring you. Other unap-
proved refrigerants or lubricants
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)can cause the system to fail, requir-
ing costly repairs. The air conditioning system con-
tains refrigerant under high pres-
sure. To avoid risk of personal
injury or damage to the system,
adding refrigerant or any repair
requiring lines to be disconnected
should be done by an experienced
technician.
Refrigerant Recovery And
Recycling
R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant
is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) that is
endorsed by the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency and is an ozone-saving
product. However, the manufacturer
recommends that air conditioning
service be performed by authorized
dealer or other service facilities using
recovery and recycling equipment.
NOTE: Use only manufacturer
approved A/C system sealers, stop
leak products, seal conditioners,
compressor oil, and refrigerants. A/C AIR FILTER
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
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.WARNING!
Do not remove the A/C air filter
while the blower is operating or
personal 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 box and remove all
contents.
2. Push in on the sides of the glove
box and lower the door.
