REPLACING 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 Plan” will
no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for main-
tenance.
Advanced ESP system
If the battery is disconnected, the áwarning light will
switch on (together with a message in the display) to in-
dicate that the system must be realigned. To s witch thewarning light off, carry out the following initialisation pro-
cedure:
❍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 áwarning light does not go out after a few seconds,
go to a Lancia Dealership. 244
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with 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.
BATTERYThe car is fitted with a low-maintenance battery F - fig.
1: no electrolyte 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 specialised personnel to make sure that it is
working properly.

WHEELS AND TYRESCheck the pressure of each tyre, including the space-saver
wheel, approximately every two weeks and before long
journeys: the pressure should be checked with the tyre rest-
ed and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase as the car is used;
see the “Wheels” paragraph in chapter “6” for the correct
tyre inflation pressure.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 2:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6
mm thick. In any case, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try you are in.

IMPORTANT
❍Where possible, avoid braking suddenly, wheel-spin-
ning and crashing into curbs, potholes or other ob-
stacles. Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads
can damage the tyres;
❍check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swellings
or irregular tread wear. Go to a Lancia Dealership if
required.
❍avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may
cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❍if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and change it
to avoid damage to the tyre, wheel rim, suspension and
steering system;
❍the tyre ages even if rarely used. Cracks in the tread and
on the side walls are a sign of ageing
. Have the tyres
checked by specialised personnel if they have been fit-
ted for longer than 6 years. Remember to check the
space-saver wheel very carefully;
❍when replacing the tyres, always fit new tyres, avoid-
ing those of dubious origin;

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
❍if a tyre is replaced, you should also change the infla-
tion valve;
❍to allow even wear between the front and rear tyres,
it is advisable to change them over every 10-15 thou-
sand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the
car so as not to reverse the direction of rotation.
Remember that the road holding qualities of
your car also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres. If the pressure is too low the tyre will get
overheated, with the risk of serious damage
to the tyre.
Avoid moving the tyres from the right side of
the vehicle to the left side and vice versa.Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at temper-
atures higher than 150°C. The mechanical
specifications of the wheels might be ad-
versely affected.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
BODYWORKPROTECTION AGAINST ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
❍atmospheric pollution;
❍salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid cli-
mates);
❍seasonal environmental 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:
❍paint products and systems which give the car a spe-
cial resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❍use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets w
ith high
resistance to corrosion;
❍spraying the underbody, engine compartment, wheel
arch internal parts and other elements with highly pro-
tective wax-based products;
❍spraying protective plastic materials in the most ex-
posed areas: underdoor, inner wing parts, edges, etc.;
❍using “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation
and pockets of moisture from causing 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-
work.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the War-
ranty Booklet.

7Jx16” - ET31 rim. In this case the 205/55 R16 91V tyre has the same specifications as the space-saver wheel: the informa-
tion in “Replacing a wheel” paragraph therefore refers to the 205/55 R16 91V tyre.

of 7 mm beyond the tyre profile.
IMPORTANT Special techniques need to be adopted for 225/40 R18 92W tyres. For this reason, these tyres can only
be requested when the vehicle is purchased. Do not fit this tyre after vehicle has been purchased !
