THE HOOD
Two latches must be released to open
the hood.
1. Pull the hood release lever located
under the left side of the instrument
panel.
2. Move to the outside of the vehicle
and locate the hood safety catch at the
center front edge of the hood.3. Lift the secondary latch under-
neath the center front edge of the
hood and raise the hood.
4. Use the hood prop rod to secure
the hood in the open position. Place
the upper end of the prop rod in the
hole on the underside of the hood.
Before closing the hood, make sure to
stow the prop rod in its proper location.CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the hood to close it. Use a firm
downward push at the center of the
hood to ensure that both latches
engage.WARNING!

3. Disconnect the glove box door
dampener from the slot on the side of
the box. This is done by grasping the
dampener connector (on the outside
of the box) and the end of the connec-
tor pin (on the inside of the box) with
your thumb and forefinger and pull-
ing outward while lightly lifting up-
ward on the door with your other
hand. Once disconnected, the damp-
ener will retract underneath the in-
strument panel if you release it.
4. Pivot the glove box downward.
5. Disengage the two retaining tabs
that secure the filter cover to the
HVAC housing and remove the cover.6. Remove the A/C Air Filter by pull-
ing it straight out of the housing.
7. Install the A/C Air Filter with the
arrow on the filter pointing toward
the floor. When installing the filter
cover, make sure the retaining tabs
fully engage the cover.
CAUTION!
The A/C air filter is identified with
an arrow to indicate airflow direc-
tion through the filter. Failure to
install the filter properly will result
in the need to replace it more often.
8. Reinstall the glove box door
dampener and glove box.
BODY LUBRICATION
Locks and all body pivot points, in-
cluding such items as seat tracks, door
hinge pivot points and rollers, and
hood hinges, should be lubricated pe-
riodically with a lithium based grease
to assure quiet, easy operation and to
protect against rust and wear. Prior to
the application of any lubricant, the parts concerned should be wiped
clean to remove dust and grit; after
lubricating excess oil and grease
should be removed. Particular atten-
tion should also be given to hood
latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other un-
derhood services, the hood latch, re-
lease mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be
lubricated twice a year, preferably in
the Fall and Spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant
directly into the lock cylinder.
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.
