IMPORTANT - Battery
You should check the battery charge
preferably at the beginning of the
winter to avoid the possibility of the
electrolyte freezing up.
This check should be performed
more frequently if the car is mainly
used for short trips, or if it is fitted
with accessories that absorb energy
even when the ignition key is re-
moved, especially if they are after-
market accessories.
You should check the battery fluid
(electrolyte) level more frequently
than shown in the Service Schedule
(see “Car maintenance”) if the car is
used in hot climates or particularly
demanding conditions. IMPORTANT - Engine oil
Change the engine oil more fre-
quently than indicated in the Service
Schedule, if the car is normally driven
in one of the following particularly se-
vere conditions:
– towing a trailer or caravan
– on dusty roads
– short, repetitive trips (less than 7
or 8 kilometres) in outside tempera-
tures below zero
– engines that are frequently left to
idle or drive slowly over long dis-
tances.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
Change the air cleaner more often
than indicated in the Service Sched-
ule if you use the car 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 Dealer-
ship.IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
If the car is often used in dusty or
highly polluted areas, you should
change the pollen filtering element
more frequently, especially if you no-
tice that the amount of air entering
the passenger compartment is re-
duced.
IMPORTANT - Remote control
If the LED on the remote control
unit flashes only once when you press
the remote control button, you need
to replace the batteries.

ACCESSORY INSTALLATION
Genuine Lancia accessories have been designed
with the Lancia Y specifically in mind and have
been selected and tested on the car. They are easy
to use, reliable and practical: qualities that lead
to enhanced comfort and safety under all driving
conditions.
For child safety, the child seats in the Lineac-
cessori Lancia line meet the strictest current Eu-
ropean standards.
You can find the Lancia accessories described in
a catalogue available from Lancia Dealerships.
Just ask the staff to give you all the details.
The following pages show diagrams and give in-
structions for correctly fitting a number of acces-
sories. Installation must always be entrusted to the
experts. Lancia has specially trained its Dealer-
ship staff for work on the Lancia Y.SOUND SYSTEM/RADIO NAVIGATION
