REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, top-up the following:
❍engine coolant fluid level;
❍brake fluid level;
❍windscreen washer fluid level;
❍tyre pressure and condition;
❍operation of lighting system (headlights, direction in-
dicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❍operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system, po-
sition and wear of windscreen/rear window wiper
blades.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if required: engine oil
level.
HEAVY-DUTY USE OF THE CAR
Should the prevailing use of the car be under one of the
following specially demanding conditions:
❍trailer or caravan towing;
❍dusty roads;
❍short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys in sub-
zero temperatures;
❍frequently idling engine or long-distance, low-speed
driving, or in the event of long-term inactivity.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE245

BATTERY
The car is fitted with a low-maintenance battery, F-fig.
1-2-3-4: no top-ups with distilled water are needed in
standard conditions of use.
It does need to be checked regularly at a Lancia Dealer-
ship or by specialist personnel to make sure that it is
working properly.
Battery liquid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.
Using the battery when the fluid is too low
can damage it irreparably and generate
a risk of 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 Servicing Pro-
gramme” in this chapter will no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for main-
tenance.
Advanced ESP system
If the battery is disconnected, the warning light
áwill
switch on (together with a message in the display) to in-
dicate that the system must be realigned. To switch the
warning light off, carry out the following initialisation
procedure:
❍turn the ignition key to MAR:
❍turn the steering wheel fully both clockwise and anti-
clockwise (to move from the position with the wheels
straight);
❍turn the ignition key to STOP and then to MAR.
If the warning light ádoes not go out after a few seconds,
seek assistance from a Lancia Dealership.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer,
observe the following instructions:
❍when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate and
bonnet are closed properly, to prevent any light from
remaining on inside the passenger’s compartment;
❍turn off the roof lights, although the car does have an
automatic system for switching off internal lights;
❍do not leave devices (e.g. car radio, hazard lights, etc.)
switched on for a long time when the engine is not
running;
❍before performing any operation on the electrical sys-
tem, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❍battery terminals should always be perfectly tight-
ened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50% for
a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation, re-
ducing its capacity and starting attitude.The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can
happen as early as −10 °C). In the case of prolonged idle-
ness, refer to the paragraph “Car inactivity”, in chapter
“3”.
If you decide to install electrical accessories after the car
has been purchased which require a permanent electric
power supply (alarm, etc.) or accessories which have
a serious impact on the electrical balance, seek assistance
from a Lancia Dealership because their qualified staff will
suggest the most suitable Lancia Lineaccessori devices
and assess the overall electric consumption, checking
whether the car’s electrical system can cope or whether
a more powerful battery is required.
Since these devices continue to consume energy even when
the engine is off, they gradually run down the battery.

254SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such as
the door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames, where
water may stagnate more easily. The car should not be
taken to a closed area immediately, but left outside so that
residual water can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or
with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paint-
work.
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
substance that many species release give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibility of triggering rust-
ing processes. 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
rust formation. Use only original paint products 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 en-
vironment where the car is used. For example, in highly
polluted areas, or if the roads are sprayed with salt, it is
wise to wash the car more frequently.
To correctly wash the vehicle, proceed as follows:
❍if taking your car through an automatic car wash, re-
move the aerial from the roof to avoid damaging it;
❍in washing stations keep the steam jet/high pressure
washing nozzles at least 40 cm away from the body-
work to prevent damage. It should be remembered
that the build up of water can damage the car over
a period of time;
❍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 a
chamois leather.
