PARAFLU
UP
anti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when
topping up. PARAFLU
UP
may not be mixed
with any other types of fluids. If this occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your
Lancia Dealership immediately.
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only
replace the cap with
another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHING
FLUID
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap D (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
WARNING
Do not travel if the windscreen
washer reservoir is
empty: using the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may set it on fire.
BRAKE FLUID
Check that the liquid is at the maximum level (the
fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the
MAX mark). If the fluid level in the tank is too
low, undo reservoir cap E (see previous pages) and
add the fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
NoteCarefully clean the cap of the reservoir E
and the surrounding surface.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets
into the reservoir.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with
integrated filter with mesh equal to or lower than
0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it
absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car
is mainly used in areas with a high degree
of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than specified
in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.

Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact
with painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. If contact
accidentally
occurs, immediately wash the affected areas
with water and a neutral detergent, and
then rinse thoroughly with water. Call
a doctor immediately if swallowed.
WARNING
The symbol
on the container
indicates a synthetic brake fluid,
distinguishing it from the mineral kind.
Using a mineral-type fluid will damage the
special rubber seals of the braking system
beyond repair.
