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".
PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when
topping up. PARAFLU
UPmay 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.

WARNING
The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the tyre
overheats and this can cause it
serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the tyres, moving
them from the right of the car to the
left and vice versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPER
BLADES
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed
or worn. In any event, it is advisable to replace
them approximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the
possibility of damage to the blades:
❒if the temperature falls below zero, make sure
that ice has not frozen the rubber against the
glass. Use an antifreeze product to release it
if required;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in addition to
protecting the blades, this prevents effort on
the motor and over-heating;
❒do not operate the windscreen/rear window
wipers on dry glass.
WARNING
Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.

In order to preserve the aesthetic
properties of the paintwork, abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used to clean the car.
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent
scratching or altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the inside surface of the rear
window gently with a cloth in the direction of
the filaments to avoid damaging the heating
device.
Front headlights
Use a soft, damp cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.
petrol) or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front headlights.Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the engine
compartment thoroughly, taking care not to aim
the jet of water directly at the electronic control
units or at the windscreen wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with
the engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP
position. After washing, make sure that the
various protective devices (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or damaged.
