SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a
long life for the car under the best conditions.
Lancia has prepared a series of checks and service
operations to be carried out every 30,000
kilometres (for petrol versions) or every 35,000
kilometres (for diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled Servicing Plan
(e.g. periodically check level of liquids, tyre
pressure, etc.) before 30,000/35,000 km and
between these services deadlines.
Scheduled Services are offered by all Lancia
Dealerships according to a set time schedule. If,
during each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be carried out
only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the
interval between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.WARNING
At 2000 km from the next service operation the
display will show a message.
The Scheduled Services are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Lancia Dealership of
any small operating irregularities without waiting
for the next service.

❒towing a trailer or caravan;
❒dusty roads;
❒short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at
sub-zero outside temperatures;
❒engine often idling or driving long distances at
low speeds or long periods of idleness;
the following checks must be performed more
frequently than indicated in the Scheduled
Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel
system - brakes) and rubber elements (boots -

BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against
perforation due to corrosion of any original
element of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to
your Warranty Booklet.
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to
prevent the formation of rust.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of washing the
car: the frequency depends on the conditions
and environment where the car is used. For
example, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads
are spread with salt, it is advisable to wash the car
more frequently.
To correctly wash the car, proceed as follows:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to prevent
damage to it if the car is washed in an
automatic system;
❒if high pressure jets or cleaners are used to wash
the car, keep a distance of at least 40 cm from
the bodywork to avoid damage or alteration.
It should be remembered that the build up
of water can damage the car over a period of
time;
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;❒wipe the bodywork using a sponge with a
slightly soapy solution, frequently rinsing the
sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door frames,
bonnet, headlight frames etc.) with special care, as
water may stagnate more easily in these areas.
The car should not be taken to a closed area
immediately, but left outside so that residual water
can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been left in the
sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the
shine of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same
way as the rest of the car.
Avoid parking under trees as much as possible; the
resin from trees dulls the paintwork and increases
the possibility of corrosion.

FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval
tests laid down by specific European Directives.
The following procedures are followed to measure consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the car: speed
varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle
and 63% of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition
of the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, car load, presence of roof racks
and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel
consumption figures than those measured.
