USING THE CAR AGAIN
Before using the car again after a
prolonged period of inactivity, the
following operations are recom-
mended:
– Do not dry-dust the car body.
– Check for fluid leaks (oil, brake
and clutch fluid, engine coolant
etc.).
– Change engine oil and filter.
– Check the level of:
– brake and clutch fluid
– engine coolant.
– Check the air cleaner and change
it, if required.
– Check the tyre pressure and the
tyres for signs of damage, cuts or
cracks. If this is the case, have them
replaced.
– Check the engine belt conditions.STORING THE CAR
The following precautions should
be taken if the car will not be used
for several months:
– Park the car in covered, dry and
if possible well-ventilated premises.
– Engage a gear.
– If the car is parked on flat
ground, disengage the electric park-
ing brake as described in the rele-
vant paragraph.
– Clean and protect the painted
parts using protective wax.
– Sprinkle talcum powder on the
rubber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the
glass.
– Slightly open the windows.
– Inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above
the normal specified pressure, lean
them on wood boards, if possible
and check it at intervals.– Do not switch the electronic
alarm system on.
– Remove the negative cable (-)
from the battery terminal and check
the battery charge. This check
should be performed every month if
the car is to be stored for long peri-
ods. Recharge the battery if it falls
below 12.5V.
IMPORTANT Before opening the
luggage compartment bonnet to dis-
connect the battery, carefully read
and comply with instructions con-
tained in the paragraph “If battery is
to be disconnected” in the chapter
“In an emergency”.
– Do not drain the engine cooling
system.
– Cover the car with a cloth or per-
forated plastic sheet. Do not use
sheets of non-perforated plastic as
they do not allow moisture on the
body to evaporate.

ADDITIONAL
CHECKS
Every 1,000 kmor before long
trips, check and top up as necessary:
– engine coolant level
– brake/hydraulic clutchfluid
level
– power steering fluid level
– windscreen/rear window and
headlight washer fluid level
– tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 kmcheck the engine
oil level and top up as necessary.
You are recommended to use FL
Seleniaproducts that are designed
and produced specifically for LAN-
CIA cars (see “Capacities” in
“Technical Specifications”).
ANNUAL
INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
The following annual inspection
schedule is recommended for
cars travelling less than 20,000
km a year (e.g. approximately
10,000 km). The schedule
includes the following opera-
tions:
1) Check tyre condition and wear
and adjust pressure (including spare
wheel)
2) Check wear on windscreen/rear
window blades
3) Check rear disc brake pad con-
ditions and wear
4) Inspect conditions of: under-
body protection and outside body-
work, piping (exhaust - fuel lines -
brake lines), rubber parts (boots -
sleeves - bushings, etc.), brake and
fuel line hoses5) check for bonnet and boot lock
cleanness, lever cleanness and lubri-
cation
6) Check primary and secondary
battery charge status
7) Check conditions of various con-
trol belts
8) Check and top up fluid levels
(engine coolant, brakes, windscreen
washer, battery, etc.)
9) Change engine oil
10) Replace engine oil filter
11) Replace dust/pollen filter.

315
Do not smoke while
working in the engine
compartment: the pres-
ence of flammable gas and
vapour could cause a fire.
Be careful not to mix up
the various types of fluids
when you are topping up:
they are all mutually incompati-
ble and could damage the car.
Maintenance of your car
should be entrusted to a
Lancia Dealership. For
ordinary routine maintenance
operations which you are able to
carry out yourself, ensure that
you have the necessary tools and
original Lancia spare parts and
fluids available. Do not carry out
servicing operations if you have
no experience.IMPORTANT - Engine oil
If the car is normally driven in one
of the following particularly severe
conditions:
– towing a trailer
– on dirty roads
– for short, repeated trips (less
than 7-8 km) with outside tempera-
ture below zero
– with engine frequently idling or
for long distances at low speed (e.g.
taxi, door-to-door deliveries) or pro-
longed storage
change the engine oil more frequent-
ly than shown in the Service
Schedule.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
Replace the air cleaner more fre-
quently than shown in the Service
Schedule if the car is used on dusty
roads.
If you are in doubt about how often
the engine oil or the air cleaner
should be changed in relation to how
you use the car, contact a Lancia
Dealership.

321
IMPORTANTThe oil consump-
tion depends on the driving style and
the conditions under which the car is
used.Used engine oil and re-
placed oil filters contain
substances which can harm
the environment. We recommend
you have the car seen to at a Lan-
cia Dealership for the oil and filter
change. It is suitably equipped for
disposing of used oil and filters in
an environmentally friendly way
that complies with the law.ENGINE COOLANT (fig. 13)
Do not remove the reser-
voir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding
yourself!
Check coolant level when the engine
is cold and with the car on flat
ground. The level should be includ-
ed between MINand MAXreference
lines on the reservoir.
If the level is low, loosen the reser-
voir cap Aand top up with
PARAFLU UPuntil reaching the
MAXreference line.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
PRODUCTS WHICH MAY BE USED AND THEIR SPECIFICATIONS
Use
Lubricants for
petrol engines
Lubricants for
diesel engines
For regular operation of JTD versions fitted with DPF, use genuine lubricant only. In the event of an emergency, lacking the genuine
lubricant, top up just once with max. 0.5 l and go to Lancia Dealership as soon as possible
Should non-genuine products be used, lubricants with minimum ACEA A3 properties for petrol engines and ACEA B4 for Diesel en-
gines are tolerated; in this event top engine performance is not guaranteed.
Using low-quality products, not compliant with ACEA A3 and ACEA B4 properties and specifications could cause engine damages not
covered by warranty.
For very cold temperatures, consult Lancia Dealership for the proper Seleniaproduct to use.Original fluids and
