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.

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.

325
AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner is connected to the
air temperature and intake sensors
which send the electrical signals
required for the correct operation of
the injection and ignition system to
the control unit.
Consequently, the cleaner must
always be in perfect conditions to
ensure correct operation of the
engine and in order to contain con-
sumption and exhaust emissions.Replace the air cleaner
more frequently than
shown in the Service
Schedule if the car is used on
dusty roads.
The cleaner can be dam-
aged if it is cleaned and
consequently the engine
can be damaged.
DIESEL FILTER
(JTD versions)
DRAINING THE
CONDENSE
The presence of water in
the fuel feed circuit can
severely damage the
injection system and make the
engine misfire. Go to a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible
when the cwarning light comes
on together with message
“WATER IN DIESEL FILTER” on
the multifunction display to have
the bleeding operation carried
out.
The air cleaner replace-
ment procedure is pro-
vided for indicative pur-
poses only. Have the operation
carried out at a Lancia
Dealership. Car safety can be
compromised if the cleaner
replacement procedure herein
described is not carried out cor-
rectly.
