USEFUL ADVICE
FOR LENGTHENING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
When you park the car, ensure the
doors, boot and bonnet are closed
properly. The ceiling and map-read-
ing lights must be off.
Do not leave accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a
long time when the engine is not run-
ning.
IMPORTANTIf the battery is left
with a charge of less than 50% for a
long time it will be damaged by sul-
phation, engine startup will deterio-
rate and it will be more subject to
freezing (this may occur at –10°C).
If the car is to be inactive for a long
period of time, refer to the “Storing
the car” paragraph in the “Driving
your car” section.
The liquid in the battery
is poisonous and corrosive.
Do not let it touch the skin
or eyes. Do not bring naked flames
or possible sources of sparks near
to the battery: fire and explosion
risk.
Incorrect fitting of elec-
trical and electronic ac-
cessories can seriously
damage the car.
IMPORTANTWhen removing/in-
stalling the battery, make sure the
battery is mechanically secured cor-
rectly.
Running the car with the
fluid level too low could
damage the battery beyond
repair, even breaking the casing
and allowing the acid contained in
it to leak out completely.
Always wear goggles to
protect the eyes when
working on or near the
battery.
If the car is to remain un-
used for a long period in
very cold weather, remove
the battery and keep it in a warm
place, otherwise it could freeze.
CHECKING THE BATTERY
FLUID LEVEL (electrolyte)
Check the electrolyte level and top
up, if required, at the frequency
shown in the Service Schedule in this
chapter. Have this operation carried
out at a LANCIA Dealership.

Detergents pollute water.
The car must therefore be
washed in an area
equipped for the collection and
purification of the liquids used
while washing.
IMPORTANTThe car should be
washed while the engine is cold and
with the ignition key at STOP. After
washing the car, make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber boots
and various guards) have not been re-
moved or damaged.

Windows
Use specific window cleaners to
clean the windows. Use very clean
cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging its transparency.
IMPORTANTTo prevent damage
to the electric heater elements, wipe
the inside of the heated rear window
gently in the same direction as the el-
ements.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment. Be careful not to direct the jet
of water on the electronic control
units. Have this done at a garage.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which could cause the steel to rust.
CLEANING THE SEATS
AND FABRIC UPHOLSTERY
– Remove the dust with a soft brush
or a vacuum cleaner.
– Rub the seats with a sponge moist-
ened in a solution of water and neu-
tral detergent.

(1) If special equipment is fitted (sunroof, air conditioner, tow hitch etc.) the unladen weight increases, thus reducing the payload as specified in the max-
imum loads allowed.
(2) Loads not to be exceeded: the driver must arrange the goods in the boot and/or load surface so that they comply with these limits.
(3) Including the weight of the roof rack.

The underbody plate must be wider
than the plate in the boot. Further-
more, the edge of the plate must be
turned up to avoid sharp corners

The tow hitch must be anchored to
the body without any drilling or trim-
ming of the rear bumper that would
be visible when the tow hitch is re-
moved.
IMPORTANTA clearly visible plate
of a suitable size and made of suitable
material saying:
MAX LOAD ON THE BALL
COUPLING 70 kg
must be fixed at the height of the ball
coupling.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
The body of the tow hitch (fig. 6)
must be fixed using 7 M10 screws at
the points indicated with the sym-
bol
Ø.All the anchorage points must have
suitable internal reinforcements made
of steel, 3 mm thick
Æ.After installation, the
holes for the retaining
screws must be sealed to
prevent the infiltration of exhaust
gases.
(*) Alternative value according to the tow hitch fitted.
