BODY LUBRICATION
Locks and all body pivot points, in-
cluding such items as seat tracks, door
hinge pivot points and rollers, liftgate,
tailgate, sliding doors and hood
hinges, should be lubricated periodi-
cally with a lithium-based grease or
equivalent, to assure quiet, easy op-
eration 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
attention 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.
WINDSHIELD WIPER
BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield periodi-
cally with a sponge or soft cloth and a
mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will
remove accumulations of salt or road
film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass
for long periods may cause deteriora-
tion of the wiper blades. Always use
washer fluid when using the wipers to
remove salt or dirt from a dry wind-
shield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to re-
move frost or ice from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact
with petroleum products such as en-
gine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE: Life expectancy of wiper
blades varies depending on geo-
graphical area and frequency of
use. Examples of poor blade per-
formance include chattering,
marks, water lines, and wet spots.
If any of these conditions are pres-
ent, clean the wiper blades or re-
place as necessary.
Adding Washer Fluid
The windshield, rear window, and
headlamp washers share a common
fluid reservoir. It is located in the en-
gine compartment and should be
checked at regular intervals. Fill the
reservoir with windshield washer sol-
vent (not radiator antifreeze) and op-
erate the system for a few seconds to
flush out any residual water.
When refilling the washer fluid reser-
voir, apply some washer fluid to a
cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade per-
formance.

BRAKES
In order to assure brake system per-
formance, all brake system compo-
nents should be inspected periodi-
cally. Refer to the “Maintenance
Schedule” for the proper maintenance
intervals.WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake
failure and possibly an accident.
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
The fluid level in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing
underhood services, or immediately if
the “Brake System Warning Light”
indicates system failure.
Clean the top of the master cylinder
area before removing the cap. Add
fluid to bring the level up to the top of
the “FULL” mark on the side of the
master cylinder reservoir.
Overfilling of fluid is not recom-
mended because it may cause leaking
in the system. Add enough fluid to bring the level up
to the requirements described on the
brake fluid reservoir. With disc
brakes, fluid level can be expected to
fall as the brake pads wear. 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.
WARNING!
Use only manufacturer’s recom-
mended brake fluid. 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. The proper type of
brake fluid for your vehicle is also
identified on the original factory
installed hydraulic master cylin-
der reservoir.

CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
transmission as the chemicals can
damage your transmission compo-
nents. Such damage is not covered
by the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory
and does not require adjustment un-
der normal operating conditions.
Routine fluid level checks are not re-
quired, therefore the transmission has
no dipstick. Your authorized dealer
can check your transmission fluid
level using a special service dipstick.
If you notice fluid leakage or trans-
mission malfunction, visit your au-
thorized dealer immediately to have
the transmission fluid level checked.
Operating the vehicle with an im-
proper fluid level can cause severe
transmission damage.
CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs,
visit your authorized dealer imme-
diately. Severe transmission dam-
age may occur. Your authorized
dealer has the proper tools to adjust
the fluid level accurately.
Fluid And Filter Changes
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
In addition, change the fluid and filter
if the transmission is disassembled for
any reason.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. APPEARANCE CARE AND
PROTECTION FROM
CORROSION
Protection Of Body And Paint
From Corrosion
Vehicle body care requirements vary
according to geographic locations and
usage. Chemicals that make roads
passable in snow and ice and those
that are sprayed on trees and road
surfaces during other seasons are
highly corrosive to the metal in your
vehicle. Outside parking, which ex-
poses your vehicle to airborne con-
taminants, road surfaces on which the
vehicle is operated, extreme hot or
cold weather and other extreme con-
ditions will have an adverse effect on
paint, metal trim, and underbody
protection.
The following maintenance recom-
mendations will enable you to obtain
maximum benefit from the corrosion
resistance built into your vehicle.

VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dor-
mant for more than 21 days, you may
want to take steps to protect your
battery. You may do the following:
Remove the 20 Amp mini-fuse inthe Totally Integrated Power Mod-
ule (TIPM) labeled Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD).
Or, disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service for two weeks
or more, run the air conditioning
system at idle for about five min-
utes in the fresh air and high blower
setting. This will ensure adequate
system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage
when the system is started again. REPLACEMENT BULBS

BULB REPLACEMENTCAUTION!
Where possible, it is advisable to
have bulbs changed at a LANCIA
Dealership. Proper operation and
orientation of the external lights are
essential for driving safety and
complying with the law.
HIGH INTENSITY
DISCHARGE HEADLAMPS
(HID) (for versions/markets,
where provided)
The headlamps are a type of high
voltage discharge tube. High voltage
can remain in the circuit even with the
headlamp switch off and the key re-
moved. Because of this, you should
not attempt to service a headlamp
bulb yourself. If a headlamp bulb
fails, take your vehicle to an au-
thorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at
the bulb sockets of High Intensity
Discharge (HID) headlamps when
the headlamp switch is turned ON.
It may cause serious electrical
shock or electrocution if not ser-
viced properly. See your authorized
dealer for service.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped
with High Intensity Discharge
(HID) headlamps, when the head-
lamps are turned on, there is a
blue hue to the lamps. This dimin-
ishes and becomes more white af-
ter approximately 10 seconds, as
the system charges.
