Fluid And Filter Changes –
8-Speed Transmission
Under normal operating conditions,
the fluid installed at the factory will
provide satisfactory lubrication for
the life of the vehicle. Routine fluid
and filter changes are not required.
However, change the fluid and filter if
the fluid becomes contaminated (with
water, etc.), or 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.
ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The all wheel drive system consists of
a transfer case and front differential.The exterior surface of these compo-
nents should be inspected for evi-
dence of fluid leaks. Confirmed leaks
should be repaired as soon as possible.
The transfer case fluid fill/inspection
plug is located in the middle of the
rear housing. To inspect the transfer
case fluid level, remove the fill/
inspection plug. The fluid level should
be even with the bottom of the hole.
Use this plug to add fluid as required.
The front differential fill plug is lo-
cated on the outer cover near the half-
shaft attachment. To inspect the dif-
ferential fluid level, remove the fill
plug. The fluid level should be even
with or slightly below the bottom of
the hole.
REAR AXLE
For normal service, periodic fluid
level checks are not required. When
the vehicle is serviced for other rea-
sons the exterior surfaces of the axle
assembly should be inspected. If gear
oil leakage is suspected inspect the
fluid level. Refer to “Fluids, Lubri-
cants, and Genuine Parts” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for further in-
formation.
Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level by removing the
fill plug on the axle. The fluid level
should be at the bottom of the fill
hole. Add fluid, if necessary, to main-
tain the proper level. Refer to “Fluids,
Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.
Change Axle Fluid
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.

WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at
the bulb sockets of HID headlamps
when the headlamp switch is
turned ON. It may cause serious
electrical shock or electrocution if
not serviced properly. See your au-
thorized dealer for service.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped
with HID headlamps, when the
headlamps are turned on, there is
a blue hue to the lights. This di-
minishes and becomes more white
after approximately 10 seconds, as
the system charges.
FRONT TURN SIGNAL

1. Open the hood.
NOTE: Removal of the air
cleaner filter housing may be nec-
essary prior to replacing bulbs in
the headlamp assembly on the
driver side of the vehicle.
2. Remove plastic cap from the back
of the headlamp housing. 3. Squeeze the two tabs on the side of
the turn signal bulb socket and pull
straight out from the lamp.
4. Install replacement bulb and con-
nector assembly straight into the
lamp until it locks in place.
5. Reinstall plastic cap to headlamp
assembly housing.
REAR TURN SIGNAL AND
BACKUP LAMPS

ing the grocery hook (using a T-20
torx driver or similar tool), remove
the fastener, and pull back the
weather strip.
3. Pull back the trunk liner to gain
access to the tail lamp wing nuts.
4. Remove the three wing nuts from
the back of the tail lamp assembly.
5. Pull the tail lamp assembly away
from the vehicle enough to access the
electrical connector.
6. Push the electrical connector lock-
ing tab to the side.7. Disconnect the electrical connec-
tor.
8. Continue removing lamp from ve-
hicle in order to access the bulb(s).
9. Turn the appropriate bulb and
socket assembly counterclockwise to
remove it from the tail lamp assembly.
10. Disconnect the bulb from the
socket assembly and install the re-
placement bulb.
11. Reinstall the bulb and socket as-
sembly into the tail lamp assembly,
and then turn it clockwise.
12. Reinstall the tail lamp assembly,
fasteners, electrical connector, and
trunk trim.

MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE – DIESEL
ENGINE
To help you have the best driving
experience possible, the manufacturer
has identified the specific vehicle
maintenance service intervals that are
required to keep your vehicle operat-
ing properly and safely.
The manufacturer recommends that
these maintenance intervals be per-
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. The vehicle is equipped with an en-
gine oil change indicator system. The
“Oil Change Required” message will
flash in the EVIC display for approxi-
mately 10 seconds after a single chime
has sounded to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The en-
gine oil change indicator system is
duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctu-
ate dependent upon your personal
driving style.
Unless reset, this message will con-
tinue to display each time you turn the
ignition switch to the ON/RUN posi-
tion. To turn off the message tempo-
rarily, press and release the Menu but-
ton.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should
oil change intervals exceed
20,000 km or 12 months, which-
ever comes first.
Rotate the tires at the first sign of irregular wear

neys, check and, if necessary, restore:
engine coolant; brake fluid;
power steering fluid;
windshield washer fluid level;
power steering fluid;
tire inflation pressure and
condition;

of windshield/rear window wiper
blades.
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if
required, the engine oil level and au-
tomatic transmission fluid level (four-
speed automatic only).
Heavy-Duty Use Of The Car
If 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;

riods of idleness. You should perform the following in-
spections more frequently than shown
on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
check front disc brake pad condi-
tions and wear;
