maintenance schedule Lancia Delta 2010 Owner handbook (in English)

REFUELLING
Petrol engines:only refuel the car with unleaded
petrol with a RON of at least 95.
Diesel engines:refuel the car exclusively with diesel fuel for
motor vehicles conforming to the European specification
EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the
engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the
warranty, depending on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines:make sure that the handbrake is
engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress
the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn
the ignition key to AV Vand release it as soon as the
engine has started.
Diesel enginesturn the ignition key to MARand wait until
the warning lights go off. YThenm, turn the ignition key
toAV Vand release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter reaches high temperatures
during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire risk.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that carries out a
continuous diagnosis of the emission-related
components in order to help protect the environment.ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical
accessories (that may gradually drain the battery),
visit aLancia Dealership.They can calculate the
overall electrical requirement and check that the
car’s electric system can support the required load.
CODE CARD
Keep this in a safe place, not in the car. We
recommend that you always carry the electronic code
provided on the CODE card with you, in case you
need to perform an emergency start.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Correct car maintenance is essential to ensure that
the performance, safety features, environmental
friendliness and low running costs stay in tip-top
condition over the years.
THE OWNER’S MANUAL CONTAINS…
... important information and warnings on the
correct use and maintenance of your car over time as
well as safe driving tips. Particular attention should
be paid to information marked with the following
symbols:"(personal safety) #(environmental
protection) â(car integrity).
If the multifunction display shows a message reading “See
handbook”, you should refer to the section “Warning lights
and messages” in this handbook.
READ THIS CAREFULLY!

170STARTING UP AND DRIVING
To engage reverse gear R from neutral, raise ring A un-
der the knob and at the same time move the gearshift lever
to the left and then forwards.
For the 1.6 Multijet version: To engage reverse R from neu-
tral, raise ring A under the knob and at the same time
move the gearshift lever to the right and then backwards.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should only be used to
change gear. Do not drive with you foot resting on the
clutch pedal, even lightly. For versions/markets, where
provided, the electronic clutch control could cut in by in-
terpreting the anomalous driving style as a fault.
Press the clutch pedal fully to change gears
correctly. For this reason, there must be no
obstacles on the floor under the pedals: en-
sure that rubber mats (if any) are correctly posi-
tioned, not interfering with the pedals.
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
gear lever, because this pressure, even if light,
over time can wear out the gearbox inner
components.
REDUCING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimize pol-
luting emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (nitric oxide,
unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc…).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Service Plan”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly, at least once every four
weeks: excessively low pressure will increase fuel con-
sumption because rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. Do not travel with
too much luggage stowed in the boot. The weight of the
car (especially when driving in town) and its trim great-
ly affect fuel consumption and stability.

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.

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”.

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.
