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”.

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.

338
Outside plastic parts must be
cleaned following the usual car
washing procedure.
Where possible avoid parking the
car under trees; the resinous sub-
stance that certain species of tree
shed dull the paintwork and increase
the possibility of rust forming.
IMPORTANTBird droppings
must be washed off immediately and
with great care as their acid is par-
ticularly aggressive.
Windows
Use specific window cleaners to
clean the windows. Use very clean
cloths to avoid scratching the glass
or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANTTo prevent damage
to the electric heater element, wipe
the inside of the heated rear window
gently in the same direction as the
elements. To wash the car properly:
1) Remove the aerial from the roof
to prevent damaging it when wash-
ing the car in an automatic carwash.
2) Wash the body using a low pres-
sure jet of water.
3) Wipe a sponge with a light neu-
tral PH detergent solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing the
sponge.
4) Rinse well with water and dry
with a jet of air or a chamois leather.
When drying the car, be careful to
get at those parts which are not so
easily seen e.g. the door frames, bon-
net and around the headlights where
water can most readily collect.
You should leave the car out in the
open so that any water remaining
can evaporate more easily.
Do not wash the car after it has
been parked in the sun or while the
bonnet is hot: it could take the shine
off the paint. Cleaning chromium
plated/anodized bodywork parts
To clean body parts such as mold-
ings, cappings, etc., use neutral pH
detergents. Avoid generic cleaning
products.
These parts shall be rinsed well with
water and then dried with a jet of air
or a chamois leather.
For further treatment use special
polish for chromium plated/anodized
parts.
Suitable car cleaning products are
available at Lancia Dealerships.

CLEANING VELVET SEATS
AND FABRICS
– Remove dust with a soft brush
and vacuum cleaner. Use a moist
brush to clean velvet upholstery.
– Brush the seats with a damp
sponge with water and a neutral
soap.CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
– Remove the dry dirt with a
chamois leather or very slightly
moist loth without exerting too
much pressure.
– Remove liquid or grease stains
with a dry absorbent cloth without
rubbing. Then wipe with a chamois
leather or soft cloth moistened with
water and neutral soap. If the stain
does not come out, use a special
cleaning compound being particu-
larly careful to follow the instruc-
tions for use.
IMPORTANTNever use alcohol or
alcohol-based products.STEERING WHEEL/GEAR
LEVER KNOB WITH GENUINE
LEATHER COVERING
These components shall only be
cleaned with water and neutral soap.
Never use spirit or alcohol-based
products.
Before using special products for
cleaning interiors, read carefully label
instructions and indications to make
sure they are free from spirit and/or
alcohol-based substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen
with special glass products, some
drops fall on the leather covering of
the steering wheel/gear lever knob re-
move them immediately and then
clean with water and neutral soap.
IMPORTANT Take the utmost care
when engaging the steering lock to
prevent scratching the leather cover-
ing. Upholstery of your car
has been designed to with-
stand wear deriving from
common use of the car. You are
however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous scratch-
ing with clothing accessories such
as metallic buckles, studs, Velcro
fastenings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress
of the cover fabric that could lead
to yarn breaking, and damage the
cover as a consequence.
