SERVICING AND CARE

WARNING
164)Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
65)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
LIFTING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Lancia
Dealership which is equipped with
arm hoists or workshop lifts.
BRAKES
Depending on the version/market, the
vehicle may be equipped with
mechanical wear detectors for the
brake pads: one for each wheel
assembly.
When the brake linings are close to
wearing out, pressing the brake pedal
will generate a slight squeal: this lasts
for about 100 km (the mileage varies
with the driving style and route).
In this case, it is still possible to
continue driving, with caution.
In any case, contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible to have
the worn brake pads replaced.
