ANNUAL
INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
For cars with an annual mileage of
below 20,000 km (for example about
15.000 km) the following yearly in-
spection programme is advised:
❒check tyre conditions/wear and
adjust pressure if required (in-
cluding the spare wheel);
❒check light system operation
(headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, boot lights, passen-
ger compartment lights, warning
lights, etc.);
❒wiper and windscreen washer sys-
tem check (adjustment of spray
nozzles/wear on wiper blades)
❒check front disk brake pad condi-
tions and wear;
❒visually inspect the conditions of:
engine, gearbox, transmission,
pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel
feed - brakes), rubber parts
(boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);❒check cleanness of bonnet and
boot locks and lever cleanness and
lubrication;
❒check battery charge;
❒visual check on various drive belt
conditions;
❒check and top up, if required, fluid
levels (engine coolant, brake fluid,
windscreen washer fluid, battery
fluid, etc);
❒replace engine oil;
❒replace engine oil filter;
❒replace pollen filter (where pro-
vided).
ADDITIONAL
CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long jour-
neys, check and top up if required:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km check the following
and top-up, if required: engine oil
level.
You are recommended to use FL Se-
lenia products, designed and pro-
duced specifically for Lancia cars (see
table “Capacities” in section “Techni-
cal specifications”).
IMPORTANT - Engine oil
Should prevailing use of the car be
under one of the following specially
heavy conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km)
repeated and with external tem-
peratures below zero;

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
IMPORTANT If the charge level re-
mains for a long time under 50%, the
battery is damaged by sulphation, re-
ducing its capacity and starting atti-
tude.
The battery will also be more at risk
of freezing (e.g. already at –10°C).
Refer to the paragraph “Car inactiv-
ity” in “Starting and driving” if the
car is left parked for a long time.
If after buying the car, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm,
etc.) contact the Lancia Dealership
whose qualified personnel, in addition
to suggesting the most suitable devices
beloning to the Lancia Lineaccessori
line, will evaluate the overall electric
absorption, checking whether the car’s
electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether
it should be integrated with a more
powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorb-
ing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the
battery.WHEELS
AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each type, in-
cluding the spare, approximately once
every two weeks and before starting a
long journey: this check must be per-
formed with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to in-
crease when the car is used; for the
correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in “Technical specifica-
tions” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear:
A: normal pressure: evenly worn
tread.
B: low pressure: tread particularly
worn on the edges.
C: excessive pressure: tread particu-
larly worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all
cases, follow the laws in force in the
country where you are driving.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning
starts and violent knocks against
the curb, potholes or other obsta-
cles if possible. Long distances on
rough roads may damage the
tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts
on the sides, swelling or irregular
tread wear. Go to a Lancia Deal-
ership if required;
❒do not overload your car: this may
cause serious damage to wheels
and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop imme-
diately and charge it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim, sus-
pensions and steering system;

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
❒the tyre ages even if rarely used.
Cracks in the tread and on the
sidewalls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by spe-
cialised personnel if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
❒In the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of du-
bious origin;
❒If a tyre is changed, also change
the inflation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the
front and rear tyres, it is advisable
to change them over every 10-15
thousand kilometres, keeping
them on the same side of the car
so as not to reverse the direction of
rotation.
Remember that road hold-
ing depends also on the cor-
rect tyre inflation pressure.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the tyres,
moving them from the right
of the car to the left and vice versa.
WARNING
Never subject alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring the use of temperatures ex-
ceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could be im-
paired.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel
rubber hoses are concerned, carefully
follow the “Service schedule” in this
section.
Ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the
hoses, with possible leaks. Careful in-
spections are therefore necessary.
