BATTERY RECHARGINGIMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is
given as information only. You are advised to go
to a Lancia Dealership to have this operation
performed.
Low amperage slow recharging for approximately
24 hours is advised. Charging for a longer time
may damage the battery.
VERSIONS WITHOUT Start&Stop SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the battery
terminals, observing the polarity;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when finished, turn the charger off before
disconnecting the battery;
❒reconnect the negative battery terminal.
VERSIONS WITH Start&Stop SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect the connector A fig. 158 (pressing
the button B) from the sensor C monitoring
the battery conditions, on the negative pole D of
the battery;❒connect the positive cable of the battery charger
to the positive battery terminal E and the
negative cable to sensor terminal D as shown;
❒turn on the battery charger. At the end of the
charging process, switch the battery charger off;
❒after having disconnected the battery charger,
reconnect connector A fig. 158 to the sensor C
as shown.
WARNING
Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your
skin and eyes. The battery should be
charged in a well ventilated place, away
from naked flames or possible sources of
sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first,
otherwise it may explode. If freezing has
occurred, the battery should be checked by
skilled personnel to make sure that the
internal elements are not damaged and that
the body is not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.

PERIODIC CHECKSEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys, check
and, if necessary, restore:
❒engine coolant, brake fluid and windscreen
washer fluid level;
❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system (headlights,
direction indicators, hazard warning lights,
etc.);
❒operation of screen washer/wiper system and
positioning/wear of windscreen/rear window
wiper blades.
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if required,
the engine oil level.
HEAVY-DUTY USE OF THE CARIf the car is used mainly under one of the
following conditions:
❒towing a trailer or caravan;
❒dusty roads;
❒short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at
sub-zero outside temperatures;
❒engine often idling or driving long distances at
low speeds or long periods of idleness;
the following checks must be performed more
frequently than indicated in the Scheduled
Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel
system - brakes) and rubber elements (boots -
sleeves - bushes - etc.);
❒check battery charge and battery fluid level
(electrolyte);
❒visually inspect condition of the accessory drive
belts;

BATTERYBattery F (see previous pages) does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled water. A
periodic check carried out at a Lancia Dealership
is, however, necessary to check efficiency.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If necessary, replace the battery with another
original battery with the same specifications.
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last
longer, observe the following instructions:
❒when you park the car, ensure that the doors,
tailgate and bonnet are closed properly, to
prevent any roof lights from remaining on inside
the passenger's compartment;
❒switch off all roof lights inside the car: the car is
however equipped with a system which switches
all internal lights off automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system,
hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the negative
battery cable;
❒completely tighten the battery terminals.

IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under
50% for a long time, the battery is damaged
by sulphation, reducing its capacity and efficiency
at start-up.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing
(this can happen as early as -10°C). Refer to
the paragraph "Car inactivity" in "Starting and
driving" if the car is left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the car, you wish to install
electrical accessories which require permanent
electrical supply (alarm etc.) or accessories which
influence the electrical supply requirements,
contact a Lancia Dealership, whose qualified staff
will evaluate the overall electrical consumption.
WARNING
Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery
and may cause an explosion.

INTERIORSPeriodically check for water puddles under the
mats that could cause the panels to rust.
WARNING
Never use flammable products, such
as petrol ether or rectified petrol to
clean the inside of the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation may cause a
fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car:
they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the car is exposed to
sunlight, internal temperature can greatly
exceed this value.SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum
cleaner. It is advisable to use a moist brush on
velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge and a solution of
water and mild soap.
PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth (if
possible made from microfibre), and a solution
of water and neutral, non-abrasive detergent. To
clean oily or persistent stains, use specific
products free from solvents and designed to
maintain the original appearance and colour of
the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre cloth, if
necessary moistened with water. The use of paper
tissues is not recommended as these may leave
residues.
