❒short distances (less than 7-8 km)
repeated and with external tem-
peratures below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long
distance low speed driving (e.g.
taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or
in case of a long term inactivity;
❒change engine oil more frequently
than shown on the “Service
Schedule”.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
When the car is used on dusty roads,
change the air cleaner more fre-
quently than shown on the “Service
Schedule”. Call a Lancia Dealership
for doubts regarding engine oil and
air cleaner replacement. IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
It is advisable to replace the filtering
element more frequently if the car is
used in dusty or very polluted places.
Specifically, replace if a lower air flow
into the passenger compartment is
found.
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
Using diesel not complying with Eu-
ropean Specification EN590 may lead
to the need to replace the diesel fuel
filter more frequently than shown in
the “Service Schedule”.IMPORTANT - Battery
Check the battery charge once a year,
preferably before the beginning to
winter, to prevent freezing of the elec-
trolyte.
Perform this inspection more fre-
quently if the car is mainly used for
short distances or if electrical devices
running with the key off are installed,
particularly after-market. Check the
battery level (electrolyte) more fre-
quently than shown on the “Service
Schedule” if the car is used in hot cli-
mates or in particularly demanding
conditions.
Take the car to a Lancia
Dealership for servicing.
Make sure you have the
right equipment, genuine
Lancia spare parts and consumables
for ordinary, minor interventions.
Do not attempt the operations if you
lack the experience.

Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consump-
tion is usually 400 grams every 1000
km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered sta-
bilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on driving style and the con-
ditions under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Always top up using
engine oil of the same types as that al-
ready in the engine.
fig. 7 - Versioni 1.416VL0D0208m
Topping up engine oil
If the oil level is near or even under
theMINline, add oil through the filler
to reach the MAXline. Oil level shall
never exceed the MAXline.
IMPORTANT If the engine oil level
after the check is over the MAXlevel,
go to a Lancia Dealership to have the
correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or chang-
ing the oil, let the engine turn over for
a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after turning it off before you check
the level.

BRAKE FLUID fig. 14
Release cap: check that the liquid
contained in the tank is at the maxi-
mum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAXmark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the
“Fluids and lubricants” table (see
“Technical Specifications”).
NOTE Carefully clean the cap of
reservoir A and the surrounding sur-
face.
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 hygro-
scopic (i.e. it absorbs moisture). For
this reason, if the car is mainly used
in areas with a high degree of atmos-
pheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals
than specified in the “Service sched-
ule”.

sage appears on the reconfigurable
multifunctional display (some ver-
sions), contact a Lancia Dealership
to have the system bled. Water may
have been introduced in the tank if
this appears immediately after re-
fuelling: in this case, stop the en-
gine immediately and contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
CHECKING CHARGE
AND ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
The operations must be carried out as
described in this Owner’s Handbook
only by specialised personnel.
Topping must be carried out by spe-
cialised personnel at a Lancia Dealer-
ship.
Battery liquid is poisonous
and corrosive. Avoid con-
tact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk
of explosion and fire.

plosion.
WARNING
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a
genuine spare part having the same
specifications.
If a battery with different specifica-
tions is fitted, the service intervals
given in the “Service schedule” in this
section will no longer apply.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s in-
structions for maintenance.Batteries contain very dan-
gerous substances for the
environment. You are rec-
ommended to go to a Lan-
cia Dealership to have the battery
replaced where the old battery will
be disposed of respecting both the
environment and the laws in force.Incorrect assembly of elec-
tric and electronic devices
may cause severe damage
to your car. Go to a Lancia
Dealership if you want to install ac-
cessories (alarms, mobile phone,
etc.): they will suggest the most suit-
able devices and advise you if a
higher capacity battery needs to be
installed.USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and
lengthen its life, observe the following
indications:
❒when the car is parked, make sure
that the doors, bonnet and tailgate
are closed properly to make sure
that the lights inside the passenger
compartment go out;
❒switch off all lights inside the vehi-
cle: the car is however equipped
with a system which switches all in-
ternal lights off automatically;
❒do not keep devices (e.g. sound sys-
tem, hazard lights, etc.) on for a
long time with the engine off;
❒before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
battery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be
perfectly tightened.
If the car is left for long
periods in very cold envi-
ronments, remove the battery and
store it in a warm place to prevent
freezing.
WARNING
Always wear the proper
protective eyewear when
working on the battery or near it.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
IMPORTANT A battery which is kept
at a charge of less than 50% (optical
indicator with dark colour without
green area in the middle) for any
length of time will be damaged by sul-
phation leading to a reduction in
cranking power.
The battery will also be more at risk
of freezing (e.g. already at -10°C).
In case of prolonged halt, refer to the
“Storing the car” paragraph in the
“Starting and driving” chapter.
If after buying the car, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm,
etc.) contact Lancia Dealership whose
qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices
from Lineaccessori Lancia, will eval-
uate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric
system is capable of withstanding the
load required, or whether it should be
integrated with a more powerful bat-
tery.
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 pressure to increase
when the car is used. For the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels”
in “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wearfig. 15:
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 Dealership if
required.
❒Do not overload your vehicle: this
may cause serious damage to
wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the ve-
hicle immediately and charge it to
avoid damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
