has identified the specific vehicle
maintenance service intervals that are
required to keep your vehicle operat-

formed at your selling dealer. The
technicians at your dealership know
your vehicle best, and have access to
factory trained information, genuine
LANCIA parts, and specially designed
electronic and mechanical tools that
can help prevent future costly repairs. The maintenance intervals shown
should be performed as indicated in
this section.
NOTE: Under no circumstances
should oil change intervals exceed
25,000 km or 12 months, which-
ever comes first.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required
maintenance items may result in
damage to the vehicle.
