battery booster pack. Jump-starting
can be dangerous if done improperly
so please follow the procedures in this
section carefully.
NOTE: When using a portable
battery booster pack follow the
manufacturer’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery
booster pack or any other booster
source with a system voltage
greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alterna-
tor or electrical system may occur.WARNING!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the
battery is frozen. It could rupture or
explode and cause personal injury.

WARNING!(Continued)
hoses, etc.) unless such removal is
necessary for repair or mainte-
nance. Make sure that no one is
near the engine compartment be-
fore starting the vehicle with the air
induction system (air cleaner,
hoses, etc.) removed. Failure to do
so can result in serious personal
injury.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter
Selection
The quality of replacement engine air
cleaner filters varies considerably.
Only high quality filters should be
used to assure most efficient service.
LANCIA engine air cleaner filters are
a high quality filter and are recom-
mended. MAINTENANCE-FREE
BATTERY
The top of the maintenance-free
battery is permanently sealed. You
will never have to add water, nor is
periodic maintenance required.
NOTE: The battery is stored un-
der an access cover in the trunk.
Remote battery terminals are lo-
cated in the engine compartment
for jump-starting.
WARNING!
 Battery fluid is a corrosive acid
solution 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
allow cable clamps to touch each
other.
 Battery posts, terminals, and re- lated accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wash hands
after handling.
 The battery in this vehicle has a vent hose that should not be dis-
connected and should only be re-
placed with a battery of the same
type (vented).

VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dor-
mant for more than 21 days, you may
want to take these steps to protect
your battery.
1.
Disconnect the negative cable from
the battery.
NOTE: When the negative cable
is disconnected from the battery,
and the trunk lid is completely
closed, it is necessary to pull the
emergency release lever of the
trunk latching mechanism to open
it again. To access the trunk and operate the lever, fold the rear
seatbacks. Please refer to “FOLD-
ING REAR SEAT” in “UNDER-
STANDING THE FEATURES OF
YOUR VEHICLE” and "TRUNK
EMERGENCY RELEASE” in
“THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE
STARTING YOUR VEHICLE” for
further information.
2. Anytime you store your vehicle, or
keep it out of service (i.e., vacation)
for two weeks or more, run the air
conditioning system at idle for about
five minutes in the fresh air and high
blower setting. This will ensure ad-
equate system lubrication to minimize
the possibility of compressor damage
when the system is started again.
