198CARE AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car life
under the best conditions.
Lancia has prepared a series of checks and service oper-
ations to be carried out every 30,000 kilometres (for petrol
versions) or every 35,000 kilometres (for diesel versions).
Scheduled servicing will not however fully cover all of the
needs of your car: also in the initial period before the
30,000/35,000 km service and later, between one ser-
vice and another, ordinary care is still required such as
routine checks, topping up the fluid levels,checking tyre
pressure, etc.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Services are required by the man-
ufacturer. Failure to carry them out may invalidate the
warranty.Scheduled Services are offered by all Lancia Dealerships
according to a set time schedule.
If during each operation, in addition to the scheduled ones,
the need arises for further replacements or repairs, these
may be carried out only with the explicit agreement of the
Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact a Lancia Deal-
ership in the event of any minor operating faults, with-
out waiting for the next service.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval be-
tween one service and the next should be reduced.

(*) Regardless of the km covered, the timing belt should be replaced every 4 years for particularly demanding use (cold climates,
driving in the city, idling for a long time) or in any case every 5 years.
(**) If the car is mainly used in cities or less than 10,000 km a year, change the engine oil and filter every 12 months.
For 1.4 Turbo Jet versions, in order to guarantee correct operation and prevent serious damage to the engine, it is essential to ob-
serve the following:
- only use spark plugs specifically certified for Turbo Jetengines; all spark plugs should be of the same type and brand (see the “En-
gine” paragraph);
- carefully observe the spark plug replacement intervals detailed in the Scheduled Service Plan;
- it is advisable to have this performed at a Lancia Dealership.

210CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The engine cooling system is pressurized. If
required, replace the cap with an original
spare part so as not to compromise system ef-
ficiency. Do not remove the cap from the vessel when
the engine is hot: risk of burns.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER FLUID C-fig. 1-2-3
To add fluid, remove the cap, pressing the special tab.
Pour a mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35, in the following concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 70% water in
summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 50% water in
winter.
At temperatures below –20°C, use undiluted TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35 fluid.
Check the level through the reservoir.
Close the cap by pressing its central section.
Do not travel with the windscreen washing
reservoir empty: the windscreen washer is
fundamental to improve visibility.
Some commercial windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment contains hot
parts which could start a fire if they come into con-
tact.
BRAKE FLUID D-fig. 1-2-3
Undo the cap and check that the liquid contained in the
tank is at the maximum level. Fluid level in the reservoir
must not exceed the MAX mark. Use the brake fluid shown
in the “Fluids and lubricants” table (see chapter “6”).
NOTE Carefully clean the reservoir cap and the sur-
rounding surface.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets into
the reservoir.
For topping up always use a funnel with built-in filter
(mesh smaller than or equal to 0.12 mm).
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs
moisture). For this reason, if the car is mainly used in ar-
eas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity, the flu-
id should be replaced at more frequent intervals than spec-
ified in the “Scheduled Service Plan”.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE213

BATTERY
The battery F-fig, 1-2-3 provided with this vehicle is a
“Reduced maintenance” battery: no top-ups with distilled
water are needed in normal conditions of use.
It should nevertheless be periodically checked by a Lan-
cia Dealership or specialised personnel to check its effi-
ciency.
The battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and sources of sparks away
from the battery: risk of explosion and fire.
Running the battery with an excessively low
liquid level will damage the battery beyond
repair and even cause an explosion.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the ser-
vice intervals given in the “Scheduled Service Plan” will
no longer be valid.
Refer therefore to the instructions provided by the battery
manufacturer.
If the battery is disconnected, the áwarning light will co-
me on (together with a message in the display) to indica-
te that the system must be realigned. To switch the war-
ning light off, carry out the following initialization pro-
cedure:
turn the ignition key to the ON position;
turn the steering wheel fully both clockwise and anti-
clockwise (to move from the position with the wheels
straight);
turn the ignition key to the OFF position and then turn
it back ON.
If the áwarning light does not go out after a few seconds,
seek assistance from a Lancia Dealership.

244TECHNICAL DATA
For 1.6 Multijet and 2.0 Multijet diesel engines, in emergencies where genuine products are not available, lubricants with min.
performance ACEA C2 are acceptable. If this is the case, the optimum engine performance not is guaranteed. We recommend
replacing the lubricant as soon as possible with one recommended by a Lancia Dealership.
The use of products with features lower than ACEA C3 for petrol engines and ACEA C2 for diesel engines 1.6 Multijet and
2.0 Multijet, could cause engine damage not covered by the warranty.
For the 1.9 Twin Turbo Multijet engine, only use lubricants with FIAT Classification 9.55535-Z2; The use of lower specification
products could cause engine damage not covered by the warranty.
