POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
FLUID (fig.s 1, 2)
Check the fluid level is not below the
MINmark visible on the reservoir
with the engine cold.
If necessary, add fluid making sure
that it has the same specifications as
the fluid in the reservoir.BRAKE FLUID (fig.s 1, 2)
Check that the fluid level in the
reservoir is at maximum level.
Periodically check that the warning
light on the instrument panel is work-
ing properly by pressing on the reser-
voir cover with the key at MAR.
Warning light
xshould come on.
If you need to add fluid, only use the
type classified DOT4. You are advised
in particular to use TUTELA TOP 4
with which the braking system was
originally filled.
Symbolπon the con-
tainer indicates synthetic
type brake fluid distin-
guishing it from the mineral kind.
Using mineral type fluids damages
the special rubber braking system
gaskets beyond repair.
Make sure the power-as-
sisted steering fluid does
not come into contact with
hot parts of the engine as it catches
fire very easily.
Do not push on the power
steering limit switch for
more than 15 seconds with
the engine running. This causes
noise and could damage the sys-
tem.Oil consumption is ex-
tremely low. If further top-
ping up is required soon
after the initial top-up, have the
system checked over at a LANCIA
Dealership for leaks.

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.

IMPORTANTCars with optional
“Kaleidos” options (non-standard
personalised paint colours), can be re-
paired in exactly the same way as
other cars painted with standard
colours at your LANCIA Dealership.To wash the car properly:
1)Remove the aerial from the roof
to prevent damaging it when washing
the car in an automatic carwash.
2)Wet the body using a low pressure
jet of water.
3)Wipe a sponge with a slightly
soapy 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
are advised not to take the car into a
closed area immediately, but to leave
it out in the open so any water left 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.
External plastic parts must be
cleaned following the usual car wash-
ing procedure. As far as possible avoid parking your
car under trees; the resinous sub-
stances which often drop from certain
types of trees could dull the paint and
increase the possibility of rusting.
IMPORTANTBird droppings must
be washed off immediately and with
great care as their acid is particularly
aggressive.
Detergents pollute water.
For this reason, the car
must be washed in an area
equipped for the collection and
purification of the liquids used
while washing.
IMPORTANTWashing is to be car-
ried out with the engine cold and the
ignition key on STOP. After washing
make sure that the various protections
(rubber sheaths and other guards)
have not moved from their positions
or been damaged.

PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE
THE CAR
Use special products designed not to
alter the appearance of the compo-
nents.
IMPORTANTDo not use alcohol or
petrol for cleaning the glass of the in-
strument panel.CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
AND PARTS
– Remove the dry dirt with a buck-
skin or very slightly moist cloth with-
out exerting too much pressure.
– Remove liquid or grease stains
with a dry absorbent cloth without
rubbing. Then wipe with a buckskin
or soft cloth moistened with water and
neutral soap.
If the stain does not come out, use a
special cleaning compound being par-
ticularly careful to follow the instruc-
tions for use.
IMPORTANTNever use alcohol or
alcohol-base products.Do not keep aerosol cans
in the car. There is the risk
they might explode. Aerosol
cans must never be exposed to a
temperature above 50°C; when the
weather starts to get hot the tem-
perature inside the car might go
well beyond that figure.
Never use flammable
products (petroleum ether
or petrol) to clean the in-
side of the car. Electrostatic
charges generated by rubbing
while cleaning could cause fires.

For mechanical connections, the fol-
lowing must be used:
– “CUNA 501” 1
stclass ball coupling
(CUNA NC 138-40 table);
– “CUNA 501” 1
stclass socket cou-
pling (CUNA NC 438-40 table).For the electric connection a 7-pole,
12 Volt coupling must be used
(CUNA UNI 9128).
The electric coupling must be fixed
on a special mount to be attached to
the ball coupling.
The electrical functions for the cou-
pling must be connected as illustrated
in(fig. 5).
In addition to the electrical connec-
tions (illustrated in the diagram that
follows), only the lead for powering
an electric brake and the lead to
power a light inside the trailer not ex-
ceeding 15W may be connected to the
car’s electrical system.
The electric brake must be powered
directly from the battery by means of
a lead with a cross-section no less
than 2.5 sq. mm.

nection) - 2.Right taillight (brake
lights connection) - 3.Pole socket -

(fig. 5)
The tow hitch must be fixed to the
body by an expert in accordance with
the following instructions and with
any additional instructions or infor-
mation provided by the tow hitch
manufacturer.
