Before setting out on a trip, practice
turning, stopping, and backing up the
trailer in an area located away from
heavy traffic.
Automatic Transmission
The DRIVE range can be selected
when towing. The transmission con-
trols include an adaptive drive strat-
egy to avoid frequent shifting when
towing. However, if frequent shifting
does occur while in DRIVE, use
the AutoStick® shift control (for
versions/markets, where provided) to
manually select a lower gear.
NOTE: Selecting a lower gear
while operating the vehicle under
heavy loading conditions will im-
prove performance and extend
transmission life by reducing ex-
cessive shifting and heat buildup.
This action will also provide better
engine braking.
249

If you REGULARLY tow a trailer for
more than 45 minutes of continuous
operation, then change the automatic
transmission fluid and filter as speci-
fied for “police, taxi, fleet, or frequent
trailer towing.” Refer to the “Mainte-
nance Schedule” for the proper main-
tenance intervals.
Electronic Speed Control
 Do not use in hilly terrain or withheavy loads.
 When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater
than 16 km/h, disengage until you
can get back to cruising speed.
 Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel
efficiency.
AutoStick® (for versions/markets,
where provided)
– When using the AutoStick® shift control, select the highest gear that
allows for adequate performance
and avoids frequent downshifts. For example, choose “4” if the de-
sired speed can be maintained.
Choose “3” or “2” if needed to
maintain the desired speed.
– To prevent excess heat generation, avoid continuous driving at high
RPM. Reduce vehicle speed as nec-
essary to avoid extended driving at
high RPM. Return to a higher gear
or vehicle speed when grade and
road conditions allow.
Cooling System
To reduce potential for engine and
transmission overheating, take the
following actions:
City Driving
When stopped for short periods of
time, shift the transmission into NEU-
TRAL and increase engine idle speed.
Highway Driving
Reduce speed.
Air Conditioning
Turn off temporarily. TRAILER HITCH
ATTACHING POINTS
Your vehicle will require extra equip-
ment to tow a trailer safely and effi-
ciently. The trailer tow hitch must be
attached to your vehicle using the
provided attaching points on the ve-
hicle's frame. Refer to the following
chart to determine the accurate at-
taching points. Other equipment,
such as trailer sway controls and
braking equipment, trailer equalizing
(leveling) equipment and low profile
mirrors, may also be required or
strongly recommended.
250

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a so-
phisticated onboard diagnostic sys-
tem called OBD II. This system moni-
tors the performance of the emissions,
engine, and automatic transmission
control systems. When these systems
are operating properly, your vehicle
will provide excellent performance
and fuel economy, as well as engine
emissions well within current govern-
ment regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the OBD II system will turn on the
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).”
It will also store diagnostic codes and
other information to assist your ser-
vice technician in making repairs. Al-
though your vehicle will usually be
drivable and not need towing, see
your authorized dealer for service as
soon as possible.
CAUTION!
 Prolonged driving with the MILon could cause further damage
to the emissions control system. It
could also affect fuel economy
and driveability. The vehicle
must be serviced before any emis-
sions tests can be performed.
 If the MIL is flashing while the engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate ser-
vice is required.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Use of genuine parts for normal/
scheduled maintenance and repairs is
highly recommended to ensure the
designed performance. Damage or
failures caused by the use of parts
which are not quality-equivalent to
genuine parts for maintenance and
repairs will not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty. MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES
The pages that follow contain the
re-
quired maintenance services deter-
mined by the engineers who designed
your vehicle.
Besides those maintenance items
specified in the fixed maintenance
schedule, there are other components
which may require servicing or re-
placement in the future.
CAUTION!
Failure to properly maintain your
vehicle or perform repairs and ser-
vice when necessary could result
in more costly repairs, damage to
other components or negatively
impact vehicle performance. Im-
mediately have potential malfunc-
tions examined by an authorized
dealership or qualified repair cen-
ter.

WINDSHIELD WIPER
BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield periodi-
cally with a sponge or soft cloth and a
mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will
remove accumulations of salt or road
film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass
for long periods may cause deteriora-
tion of the wiper blades. Always use
washer fluid when using the wipers to
remove salt or dirt from a dry wind-
shield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to re-
move frost or ice from the windshield.
Keep the blade rubber out of contact
with petroleum products such as en-
gine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE: Life expectancy of wiper
blades varies depending on geo-
graphical area and frequency of
use. Poor performance of blades
may be present with chattering,
marks, water lines or wet spots. If
any of these conditions are pres-
ent, clean the wiper blades or re-
place as necessary.ADDING WASHER FLUID
The windshield washer and the head-
light washer share the same fluid res-
ervoir. The fluid reservoir is located in
the front of the engine compartment.
Be sure to check the fluid level in the
reservoir at regular intervals. Fill the
reservoir with windshield washer
solvent (not radiator antifreeze) and
operate the system for a few seconds
to flush out the residual water.
When refilling the washer fluid reser-
voir, apply some washer fluid to a
cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade per-
formance.
To prevent freeze-up of your wind-
shield washer system in cold weather,
select a solution or mixture that meets
or exceeds the temperature range of
your climate. This rating information
can be found on most washer fluid
containers.
The fluid reservoir will hold nearly
4 Liters of washer fluid when the mes-
sage “Low Washer Fluid” appears in
the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC).
WARNING!Commercially available windshield
washer solvents are flammable. They
could ignite and burn you. Care must
be exercised when filling or working
around the washer solution.CAUTION!
Car maintenance should be done at
a LANCIA Dealership. For routine
and minor maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, we
do recommend you have the proper
equipment, genuine LANCIA spare
parts and the necessary fluids; do
not however carry out these opera-
tions if you have no experience.

Master Cylinder – Brake Fluid
Level Check
Check the fluid level in the master
cylinder immediately if the brake sys-
tem warning light indicates system
failure.
Check the fluid level in the master
cylinder when performing underhood
services.
Clean the top of the master cylinder
area before removing the cap. Add
fluid to bring the level up to the
“MAX” mark on the side of the master
cylinder reservoir.
Add enough fluid to bring the level up
to the requirements described on the
brake fluid reservoir. With disc
brakes, fluid level can be expected to
fall as the brake pads wear. However,
low fluid level may be caused by a
leak and a checkup may be needed. Use only manufacturer's recom-
mended brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids,
Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.
WARNING!
 Use only manufacturer's recom-
mended brake fluid. Refer to
“Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.
Using the wrong type of brake
fluid can severely damage your
brake system and/or impair its
performance. The proper type of
brake fluid for your vehicle is also
identified on the original factory
installed hydraulic master cylin-
der reservoir.
 To avoid contamination from for-
eign matter or moisture, use only
new brake fluid or fluid that has
been in a tightly closed container.
Keep the master cylinder reser-
voir cap secured at all times.
Brake fluid in a open container

WARNING!(Continued)
absorbs moisture from the air re-
sulting in a lower boiling point.
This may cause it to boil unex-
pectedly during hard or pro-
longed braking, resulting in sud-
den brake failure. This could
result in a accident.
 Overfilling the brake fluid reser- voir can result in spilling brake
fluid on hot engine parts, causing
the brake fluid to catch fire.
Brake fluid can also damage
painted and vinyl surfaces, care
should be taken to avoid its con-
tact with these surfaces.
 Do not allow petroleum based
fluid to contaminate the brake
fluid. Brake seal components
could be damaged, causing par-
tial or complete brake failure.
This could result in an accident.

CAUTION!
 Using a transmission fluid otherthan the manufacturer's recom-
mended fluid may cause deterio-
ration in transmission shift qual-
ity and/or torque converter
shudder. Using a transmission
fluid other than that recom-
mended by the manufacturer,
and will require more frequent
fluid and filter changes. Refer to
“Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for fluid specifications.
 If a transmission fluid leak oc-
curs, visit your authorized dealer
immediately. Transmission dam-
age may occur. Your authorized
dealer has the proper tools to ad-
just the fluid level accurately.
Fluid And Filter Changes
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
In addition, change the fluid and filter
if the transmission is disassembled for
any reason.
CAUTION!
Car maintenance should be done at
a LANCIA Dealership. For routine
and minor maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, we
do recommend you have the proper
equipment, genuine LANCIA spare
parts and the necessary fluids; do
not however carry out these opera-
tions if you have no experience.
ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The all wheel drive system consists of
a transfer case and front differential.
The exterior surface of these compo-
nents should be inspected for evi-
dence of fluid leaks. Confirmed leaks
should be repaired as soon as possible.
The transfer case fluid fill/inspection
plug is located in the middle of the
rear housing. To inspect the transfer
case fluid level, remove the fill/
inspection plug. The fluid level should
be even with the bottom of the hole.
Use this plug to add fluid as required. The front differential fill plug is lo-
cated on the outer cover near the half-
shaft attachment. To inspect the dif-
ferential fluid level, remove the fill
plug. The fluid level should be even
with or slightly below the bottom of
the hole.
REAR AXLE
For normal service, periodic fluid
level checks are not required. When
the vehicle is serviced for other rea-
sons the exterior surfaces of the axle
assembly should be inspected. If gear
oil leakage is suspected inspect the
fluid level. Refer to “Fluids, Lubri-
cants, and Genuine Parts” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for further in-
formation.
Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level by removing the
fill plug on the axle. The fluid level
should be at the bottom of the fill
hole. Add fluid, if necessary, to main-
tain the proper level. Refer to “Fluids,
Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.

Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights
that are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens clean-
ing procedures must be followed.To minimize the possibility of scratch-
ing the lenses and reducing light out-
put, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild
soap solution followed by rinsing.Do not use abrasive cleaning compo-
nents, solvents, steel wool or other ag-
gressive material to clean the lenses.Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned
on a regular basis with any commer-
cial household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window equipped with an elec-
tric defroster. Do not use scrapers or
other sharp instruments that may
scratch the elements.When cleaning the rear view mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument
Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments
in this vehicle are molded in clear
plastic. When cleaning the lenses,
care must be taken to avoid scratch-
ing the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild
soap solution may be used, but do not
use high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean
with a clean damp rag.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye, or clean the belts
with chemical solvents or abrasive
cleaners. This will weaken the fabric.
Sun damage can also weaken the fabric.If the belts need cleaning, use a mild
soap solution, or lukewarm water. Do
not remove the belts from the vehicle
to wash them.Replace the belts if they appear frayed
or worn or if the buckles do not work
properly.
Cleaning The Center Console
Cupholders
Clean with a damp cloth or towel using
a mild detergent with the cupholder in
the center console.NOTE: The cupholder cannot be
removed.

VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dor-
mant for more than 21 days, you may
want to take these steps to protect
your battery.
1.
Disconnect the negative cable from
the battery.
NOTE: When the negative cable
is disconnected from the battery,
and the trunk lid is completely
closed, it is necessary to pull the
emergency release lever of the
trunk latching mechanism to open
it again. To access the trunk and operate the lever, fold the rear
seatbacks. Please refer to “FOLD-
ING REAR SEAT” in “UNDER-
STANDING THE FEATURES OF
