216CARE 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 Jet engines; 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.

222CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Perform the following inspections more frequently than
shown on the Scheduled Service Plan:
❍check front disc brake pad condition and wear;
❍check cleanness of bonnet and boot locks and linkage
cleanness and lubrication;
❍visually inspect the condition of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust – fuel supply
- brakes) rubber elements (gaiters – hoses - bushes
etc.);❍check battery charge and fluid level (electrolyte); (see
“Battery - Charge and electrolyte level check” in this
chapter);
❍visually inspect the condition of auxiliary drivebelts;
❍check and if necessary replace the pollen filter; in par-
ticular it should be replaced if a decrease in the air flow
into the passenger compartment is detected;
❍check the air filter and replace, if required.

228CARE 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 MAINTENANCE231

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
come on (together with a message in the display) to indi-
cate that the system must be realigned. To switch the
warning 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.

236CARE AND MAINTENANCE
RUBBER HOSES
With regards to the maintenance of the brake system and
fuel system rubber hoses, carefully follow the “Sched-
uled Service Plan” in this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in
the system may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful inspections are therefore nec-
essary.
WINDSCREEN/REARSCREEN
WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In all cases, it is advisable to replace them approximate-
ly once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of
damage to the blades:
❍make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the wind-
screen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❍remove any snow from the window: this will avoid
overstressing the electrical motor in addition to pro-
tecting the blades;
❍do not operate the windscreen and the rear screen
wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE
AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE
For years now Lancia has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of
the Environment through the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of
increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a view to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in
full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligations imposed by European Directive
2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Lancia offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the end
of its life span without additional costs.
The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of
the same incurring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In
particular, in almost all of the countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the
vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002 on, while, from 2007 on, take-back
will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that the vehicle still
contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste
materials.
Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a
quality service to our customers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved
environmental standards. To find out the location of your nearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of
charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Lancia web site or call the toll free number
00800 526242 00.
