ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked when the
engine is cold and must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, undo reservoir cap C (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
PARAFLU
UP
anti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when
topping up. PARAFLU
UP
may not be mixed
with any other types of fluids. If this occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your
Lancia Dealership immediately.
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the cap with
another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHING
FLUID
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap D (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
WARNING
Do not travel if the windscreen
washer reservoir is empty: using the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may set it on fire.

BRAKE FLUID
Check that the liquid is at the maximum level (the
fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the
MAX mark). If the fluid level in the tank is too
low, undo reservoir cap E (see previous pages) and
add the fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
NoteCarefully clean the cap of the reservoir E
and the surrounding surface.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets
into the reservoir.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with
integrated filter with mesh equal to or lower than
0.12 mm.

IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it
absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car
is mainly used in areas with a high degree
of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than specified
in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact
with painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. If contact accidentally
occurs, immediately wash the affected areas
with water and a neutral detergent, and
then rinse thoroughly with water. Call
a doctor immediately if swallowed.
WARNING
The symbol
on the container
indicates a synthetic brake fluid,
distinguishing it from the mineral kind.
Using a mineral-type fluid will damage the
special rubber seals of the braking system
beyond repair.

WHEELS AND TYRESBefore long trips, and every two weeks, check the
tyre and space-saver wheel inflation pressure
(for versions/markets, where provided). Check the
tyres when cold.
While driving the car, the pressure increases under
standard conditions: for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear
fig. 164:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn;
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the
edges;
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less
than 1.6 mm thick. In any case, follow the laws
in force in the country where you are driving.
IMPORTANT
Take the following precautions to prevent damage
to the tyres:
❒avoid braking suddenly, racing starts and
violent impact against the curb, potholes or
other obstacles and driving for extended periods
on uneven road surfaces;
❒periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in
the side wall, abnormal swelling or irregular
tyre wear;
❒avoid travelling with the car overloaded. If you
have a puncture, stop immediately and change
the tyre;
❒tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks
in the tread rubber and at the sides are a sign of
ageing. In any case, if the tyres have been on
the car for over 6 years, they should be checked
by specialised personnel. Also remember to
check the space-saver wheel very carefully (for
versions/markets, where provided);
❒change the position of the tyres every 10-15
thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same
side of the car to avoid inverting the direction
of rotation;

BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against
perforation due to corrosion of any original
element of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to
your Warranty Booklet.
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to
prevent the formation of rust.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of washing the
car: the frequency depends on the conditions
and environment where the car is used. For
example, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads
are spread with salt, it is advisable to wash the car
more frequently.
To correctly wash the car, proceed as follows:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to prevent
damage to it if the car is washed in an
automatic system;
❒if high pressure jets or cleaners are used to wash
the car, keep a distance of at least 40 cm from
the bodywork to avoid damage or alteration.
It should be remembered that the build up
of water can damage the car over a period of
time;
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;❒wipe the bodywork using a sponge with a
slightly soapy solution, frequently rinsing the
sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door frames,
bonnet, headlight frames etc.) with special care, as
water may stagnate more easily in these areas.
The car should not be taken to a closed area
immediately, but left outside so that residual water
can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been left in the
sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the
shine of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same
way as the rest of the car.
Avoid parking under trees as much as possible; the
resin from trees dulls the paintwork and increases
the possibility of corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid they
contain is particularly aggressive.
Detergents pollute the environment.
Only wash your car in areas equipped
to collect and treat wastewater from
this type of activity.

❒do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and
do not write on the recorded surface using pens
or pencils;
❒Never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked,
distorted, etc. Their use could cause damage the
player or make it malfunction;
❒to achieve the best quality audio reproduction
we recommend the use of original CD media.
Correct operation is not guaranteed when CD-
R/RW media are used that were not correctly
burnt and/or with a maximum capacity above
650 Mb;
❒do not use commercially available protective
sheets for CDs or discs with stabilisers as they
could get stuck in the internal mechanism and
damage the disc;❒if a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few
seconds before the system starts to play it. The
CD player cannot be guaranteed to play all
protected discs. The presence of copy protection
is often indicated in small letters or may be
difficult to read on the cover of the CD; it may
say something like, for example, "COPY
CONTROL", "COPY PROTECTED", "THIS
CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC" or
may be identified through the use of symbols,
such as, for example:
❒The CD player is able to read most of the
compression systems currently on the market
(e.g.:LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUNHOFER)
but as these systems are continually evolving,
playback of all compression formats is not
guaranteed.
