SPRAY NOZZLES
Windscreen washer fig. 7
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check that there is
fluid in the reservoir: see “Checking fluid levels” in this
section).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged, if nec-
essary use a needle.
The windscreen jets are directed by adjusting the angle
of the nozzles.
Fluid jets should be directed at about 1/3 height from
the window upper edge.
IMPORTANT In versions with a sunroof, make sure that
the sunroof is closed before operating the front jets.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
atmospheric pollution;
salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid cli-
mates);
seasonal environment conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and
sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars is
also not to be underestimated.
On your car, Lancia has implemented the best manufac-
turing technologies to effectively protect the bodywork
against corrosion.These include:
painting products and systems which give the car par-
ticular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets, with high
resistance to corrosion;
spraying the underbody, engine compartment, wheel-
house internal parts and other parts with highly pro-
tective wax products;
spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function, in
the most exposed points: underdoor, inner wing parts,
edges, etc.;
use of “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation
and pockets of moisture from triggering rust inside.
BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation due
to rust of any original element of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the War-
ranty Booklet.

222CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To wash the car correctly, proceed as follows:
remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damage to
it if the car is washed in an automatic system;
in washing stations keep the steam jet/high pressure
washing nozzles at least 40 cm away from the body-
work to prevent damage. Remember that in the long-
term puddles of water can damage the car;
wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;
wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge;
rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or leather
pad.
When drying take care to dry the least exposed parts where
the water could collect most easily. It is a good idea to leave
the car in the open for a while after washing it to give time
for the water to evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been parked in the sun
or when the engine is bonnet is hot: this could take the
shine off the paint. ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose, but
also protects the underlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent
the formation of rust. Only use genuine spare paint prod-
ucts for touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint identification
plate” in the “Technical Specifications” section).
Normal maintenance of paintwork consists in washing the
car: the frequency depends on the conditions and envi-
ronment where the car is used. For example, it is advis-
able to wash the car more often in areas with a high en-
vironmental pollution or on roads sprinkled with salt.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE223
5
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way
as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees; the resinous sub-
stance many species release give the paint a dull appearance
and increase the possibility of triggering rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off imme-
diately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is partic-
ularly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution. The car
should be washed in areas equipped for col-
lecting and purifying the liquid used in the
washing process.
Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or dam-
aging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently with a
cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging
the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid directly hitting with
the water jet the electronic control units and the relay/fuse
control unit on the left side of the engine compartment
(running direction). Have this operation performed at a
specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation on a cold engine and
with the key at STOP. After the washing operation, make
sure that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.: petrol)
or ketenes (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front headlight plas-
tic lens.
To keep intact the aesthetic properties of the
paintwork do not use abrasive and/or pol-
ish products for cleaning the car bodywork.

224CARE AND MAINTENANCE
INTERIOR
Periodically check that water is not trapped under the mats
(due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which
could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.
Never use flammable products, such as petrol
ether or rectified petrol to clean inside the car.
The electrostatic charges which are generat-
ed by rubbing during the cleaning operation may
cause a fire.
Don’t keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: risk of
explosion. Aerosol cans must not be exposed
to a temperature exceeding 50°C. When the
vehicle is exposed to sunlight, inner temperature can
greatly exceed this value.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of
water and neutral detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts with a moist
cloth and a solution of water and mild soap. Use specific
products for cleaning plastic, without solvents and specif-
ically designed to prevent damage to the appearance and
colour of the treated parts to remove grease and tough
stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petroleum to clean the
instrument panel.
