WARNING
Modifications or repairs to the
electric system that
are not carried
out properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the risk of
fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the
case of breakage they may
burst.
Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only.
Touching the transparent part of the
bulb with your fingers may reduce the
intensity of the emitted light and even reduce
the lifespan of the bulb. In case of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened
with alcohol and let the bulb dry.If possible, we recommend that you
have bulbs replaced at a Lancia
Dealership. The correct operation and
aiming of the outer lights are absolutely
essential for the safety of the car and of
compliance with law.Due to the high supply voltage, Xenon
gas-discharge bulbs (for versions/
markets, where provided) must only be
replaced by a specialist technician: danger of
death! Contact a Lancia Dealership.

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas
and
inflammable vapours may be present, with
the risk of fire.
WARNING
Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when
the engine
is hot: you may get burned. Remember that
the fan may start up if the engine is hot:
this could injure you. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
