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.

316
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
The different grades of purity in
diesel fuel normally available might
make it necessary to replace the fil-
ter more frequently than indicated
in the Service Schedule. If the engine
misfires it shows the filter needs
changing.IMPORTANT - Dust/pollen filter
If the car is often used in dusty or
extremely polluted environments,
you should change the filter element
more frequently. It should be
changed especially if the amount of
air introduced into the passenger
compartment is reduced.IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in your battery should
be checked, where possible at the
start of the winter, to limit the risk
of the battery electrolyte freezing.
This check should be carried out
more frequently if the car is mainly
used for short trips or if it is fitted
with accessories that permanently
take in electricity even when the
ignition key is removed, especially in
the case of after market accessories.
If the car is used in very hot cli-
mates or particularly demanding
conditions check the battery elec-
trolyte more frequently than shown
in the “Service Schedule” in the
“Car maintenance” chapter.

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.

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.
