IMPORTANTAfter topping up, let
the engine turn for a few seconds
and wait a few minutes after stop-
ping it before you check the level.
Engine oil consumption
Max. engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine
needs to run in, therefore the engine
oil consumption can only be consid-
ered stabilised after the first 5000 -
6000 km. ENGINE OIL
(fig. 7-8-9-10-11-12)
Check engine oil with the car on
level ground and while the engine is
still warm (approximately five min-
utes after stopping the engine).
Remove dipstick Aand clean it,
than plunge it down and check
whether the oil level is included
between the MINand MAXrefer-
ence lines on the dipstick. The gap
between the MINand MAXrefer-
ence lines corresponds to approxi-
mately one litre of oil.Do not add oil with dif-
ferent specifications (class,
viscosity, etc.) from the oil
already in the engine.
If the oil level is near or even below
the MINline, pour in oil through the
filler hole B, until it reaches the
MAXline.
IMPORTANTIf during a routine
check you will find that the oil level
is above the MAXreference line,
contact a Lancia Dealershipto
have the proper level restored. Be very careful under the
bonnet: you risk burning
yourself. Rememberthat
when the engine is hot, the fan
can start up and cause injuries.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To prevent rapidly draining the
battery and ensure that it continues
to work correctly, the following
should be noted:
– Terminals must always be firmly
tightened.
– Do not keep accessories (e.g.
sound system, hazard lights, parking
lights, etc.).
– When you park the car, ensure
the doors, boot and bonnet are
closed properly. The ceiling lights
must be off.
– Before working on the electrical
system, disconnect the negative
cable from the battery.– If after buying the car, you want
to install electric accessories which
require permanent electric supply,
visit a Lancia Dealership, whose
qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices
belonging to the Lineaccessori
Lancia, will evaluate 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
battery. These devices in fact take
electricity also when the ignition key
is removed (car parked, engine off),
and can gradually drain the battery.
The overall intake of these devices
(standard and after-market) must
be less than 0.6 mA x Ah (of the bat-
tery), as shown in the following
table.Battery Maximum
idle intake
70 Ah 42 mA
80 Ah 48 mA
100 Ah 60 mA
It is also important to remember
that high intake devices (such as
bottle warmers, vacuum cleaners,
cellular phones, frigo bar, etc.) will
speed up battery discharging when
powered with engine off or running
idle.
– Please note that when installing
additional systems in the car, incor-
rect wiring can be dangerous espe-
cially when concerning safety sys-
tems.

HEADLIGHT
WASHERS
Regularly check that the nozzles
(fig. 22) are intact and clean.
The headlight washers are auto-
matically switched on when the
windscreen washer is operated and
the headlights are on.
CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
During the winter, the climate con-
trol system must be turned on at
least once a month for about ten
minutes.
Before summer, have the system
checked at a Lancia Dealership.INITIALISING THE AIR
CONDITIONING CONTROL UNIT
Whenever the battery is electrically
connected again or it is reloaded after
being completely flat or after replac-
ing one of the protection fuses, to re-
store the correct operation of the air
conditioning, of the door locking and
of the ESP system. It is necessary to
perform the initialisation operations
contained in the paragraph “If battery
is to be disconnected” in the chapter
“In an emergency”.
fig. 22
L0A0122b
The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which
will not pollute the envi-
ronment in the event of leakage.
Under no circumstances should
R12 fluid be used as it is incom-
patible with the system compo-
nents and contains CFC.

FUEL
CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption values
shown in the following table were
defined according to the type-
approval specifications in European
Directives.
Consumption values are defined by
means of the following procedures:– urban cycle: consisting of a cold
start and a simulated drive in city
streets;
– extra-urban cycle: consisting in
frequent accelerations, in all gears,
simulating normal conditions of use.
Speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h;
– combined consumption: con-
sisting of 37% urban cycle and 63%
extra-urban cycle.IMPORTANTRoad and traffic
conditions, weather, general condi-
tions of the car, driving style, fittings
and accessories, use of the climate
control system, load, roof racks and
other situations penalising aerody-
namic penetration and effecting
rolling resistance will influence fuel
consumption rates which can be dif-
ferent from the values shown in the
table (see “Cheap running that
respects the environment” in
“Driving your car” chapter).
