The check system is an electronic instrument that monitors and displays malfunctions that can affect vehicle operation and safety.

Diagram showing a room layout with a central room and three rectangular compartments, each containing black dots (no text or symbols)

When systems are operating properly

Turn the key to MAR. All the check system lights (including fuel reserve warning and green "all systems operative" indicator) illuminate (see p. 17).

Start the engine. All warning lights should turn off within 7 seconds.

Notes:

- When pressing the brake pedal or turning on the side lights and rear fog-guard lights none of the red warning lights should turn back on.

– High-speed cornering, sudden braking, rapid acceleration or driving on poorly surfaced roads may cause some of the warning lights to illuminate (e.g., coolant and brake fluid).

- If the car is started on a grade, the oil warning light may illuminate. Because this indication is stored in system memory, you must start the car again on level ground to ensure there is sufficient oil in the lubrication system.

When malfunction occurs

- All the warning lights (including fuel reserve and main malfunction warning) illuminate when you turn the key to MAR (see p. 16).

- When the engine starts, all the panel lights of operative devices or systems turn off within 7 seconds. Only those warning lights regarding malfunctions and the main malfunction warning light remain on.

INSTRUMENTS

Panel warning light

Malfunction

Doors not closed. Door open is indicated on the panel.

Side light failure. When you turn on the side lights, a panel indicator at the front of the car illuminates (bulb burned out or wiring malfunction).

Taillight failure. When the taillights are on, the panel indicators located at the back of the car illuminate (bulb burned out or wiring malfunction).

The check system does not indicate when all the side/taillights are off due to both their fuses blowing at the same time. Therefore, occasionally make a visual check of exterior lights.

The illumination of two opposite diagonal panel lights indicates a blown common fuse, two burned-out light bulbs, or a wiring malfunction.

Panel warning light

Malfunction

Stop light failure. The panel light corresponding to the burned-out bulb illuminates. When a single bulb burns out or wiring malfunction occurs, the panel indicator turns on only about 2 seconds after pressing down the brake pedal.

If both stop lights burn out (or a wiring malfunction occurs) both panel brake light indicators turn on at the same time without pressing the brake pedal.

Stop light switch failure. If the stop light switch fails causing the stop light to remain off, both stop light panel indicators turns on 2 seconds after pressing down the brake pedal.

If the switch is simply malfunctioning, but the stop lights illuminate when braking, both stop light panel indicators illuminate (or remain on). The panel light turns off when you release the brake pedal.

Rear fog-guard light failure. When the fog-guard lights are turned on, the panel indicator illuminates when there is a burned-out bulb(s) or wiring malfunction between the fuse and light bulbs.

INSTRUMENTS

Panel warning

Malfunction

If this light illuminates when the engine is running, alternator output is insufficient or there is a recharging circuit malfunction.

Low coolant level, sensor failure or wiring malfunction.

Low brake fluid level, sensor failure or wiring malfunction.

Brake pads worn. Slight wear is indicated only when the brake pedal is pressed down.

Low oil level, sensor failure or wiring malfunction. Engine lubricant monitoring occurs when the key is turned to MAR before starting the engine (see note on p. 21), but is indicated only when the engine is running. No oil level monitoring occurs while driving.

Some versions have an oil pressure gauge A and oil temperature gauge B next to the main instrument panel.

A Oil pressure gauge (scale in bar)

When the engine is hot the oil pressure should be between 3.5 and 5 bar.

When idling (engine hot), the gauge may indicate pressures below 2 bar. When accelerating slightly, the pressure should rise.

After starting the engine during winter oil pressure values may be higher than normal. Do not accelerate rapidly. Wait until the oil pressure stabilizes.

If the oil pressure indicated is too high or low, switch off the engine and have your car taken to a Lancia Service Centre.

B Oil temperature gauge (°C)

When the gauge indicates the oil temperature is too high (red zone), stop the car but do not switch off the engine. Let the engine idle for a couple of minutes. If the temperature does not drop, switch off the engine and have your car taken to a Lancia Service Centre.

INDIVIDUAL SETTINGS

Seat belt and child restraint information

All vehicle occupants are required to respect the Motor Vehicle Code provisions regarding seat belt installation and use in the country where the car is driven.

Although not always obligatory, it is highly recommended all occupants exempted from using seat belts sit on the back seat or use a restraint system.

All minors whose physical features (weight, age, height) are under legal limits in the country where the car is driven must be protected by approved universal restraints (carrier, child seat or booster cushion) that comply with ECE/ONU regulation 44.

Local legislation applies in those countries which have not adopted regulation 44.

Use of semiuniversal or specific restraint systems requiring supplementary anchorage points may be installed only if the manufacturer's approval is granted. All vehicle registration forms must be updated by the appropriate government agency after approval testing of the anchorages.

Carefully follow the manufacturer's installation and use instructions supplied with the systems.

A child should never be carried on a passenger's lap with a belt around the child and seat occupant.

Ensure the belt webbing is not twisted. Seat belts should always be worn across the hips, not the abdomen, to avoid sliding forward.

Occasionally check that the anchorage hardware is secured properly. The belt webbing should never be cut or fraying. After a moderate-to-severe collision, it is recommended that the seat belts be replaced, even if there is no apparent damage.

Wash the belts with warm soapy water. Rinse them and let them dry in the shade (never in direct sunlight).

Do not use strong detergents, bleach, dyes or any chemical which could weaken the webbing fibres.

Using the automatic seat belts

(front and outer rear positions)

Pull tongue A and insert it into buckle B until you hear a click. Press C to release the belt.

E A B C D 46/052

No manual adjustment of these belts is necessary. The webbing unwinds from retractor D located under the pillar trim panel and then passes through loop E. The belt adjusts automatically to the wearer providing ample freedom of movement.

The retractor mechanism may lock if the webbing is pulled out too rapidly or when cornering at high speeds, braking or accelerating rapidly, or when driving on steep grades.

Using the rear seat belts

The belts should be worn as shown in the illustration below.

A B A B F E 46846

To ensure passengers buckle their belts correctly, tongues A (outer belts) cannot be inserted in buckle F and, vice versa, tongue E will not fit in buckle B.

INDIVIDUAL SETTINGS

Do this carefully to prevent the bonnet from falling accidentally.

Because the radiator fan is not affected by the position of the ignition key it may continue to operate even after removing the key (e.g., when the engine is very hot). Wait a couple of minutes until it stops before putting your hands in the engine compartment.

Before closing the bonnet replace rod C in holder E. Lower the bonnet holding it at the centre. Let it drop from a height of about 20-25 cm.

HEADLAMPS

Aligning the headlamp beams

Proper headlight alignment is extremely important for safe vehicle operation and the safety of other drivers. Headlamp beam alignment patterns are generally regulated by the Motor Vehicle Code in the country where the car is registered.

Park the car when unladen (tyres at recommended pressures - see inside front cover of this handbook) on level ground in front of a light-coloured wall in the shade.

Make sure that the knobs containing screws A are both turned fully clockwise.

If your car has beam compensators that can be adjusted from the driver's seat, place the knob at "0".

Draw two crosses on the wall corresponding to the centres of the beams.

Technical diagram showing mechanical assembly with labeled components and directional arrows indicating motion or flow

Back up 10 metres from the wall. Reference points P-P should now be about 10 cm below the crosses.

Turn screw A incorporated in the knob to make vertical (up/down) adjustments. Turn screw B to make horizontal (right/left) adjustments.

Mechanical assembly diagram showing a gear and housing components with labeled parts A and B (no text or symbols beyond labels)

HEADLAMPS

Only limited adjustments can be made. Never attempt to turn the screws past the point where they stop to prevent damaging the headlamps.

The compensator knobs have two positions that can be selected depending on the load you are carrying.

Turn the knobs clockwise for light-to-average loads.

- Turn the knobs counterclockwise when the car is fully laden.

Always set both headlamp compensator knobs to the same position.

Beam compensation from inside the car (if fitted)

Diagram of a door handle mechanism with no visible text or symbols

If your car has this feature there is a knob located on the centre console controlling actuators on the headlamps able to change the beam height depending on the weight of the load and where it is being carried in the car.

The knob has four positions from "0" to "3". Refer to the table below.

Knob position	Location of load

Safety, comfort and fuel economy 53

Tow hitch 55

STARTING THE ENGINE

Cold starting

• Place the gearshift lever in neutral and depress the clutch pedal (especially in winter) to prevent the starter motor from turning the transmission shaft.
• Turn the key to AVV. Release it as soon as the engine starts.
• If your car's engine is carburetted, press the accelerator pedal fully down, then release it immediately to actuate the automatic choke. Remember to do this whenever you start the car in cold weather.

Starting a hot engine

- Press the accelerator pedal down slightly (only cars with carburettors). When the engine is very hot it may be necessary to hold down the accelerator until the engine starts. (The automatic choke does not operate when the engine is hot). The ignition switch has a non-repeating safety feature. If the engine does not start on the first attempt, turn the key to STOP before trying to start the engine again.

Fuel injected versions

The optimal fuel mixture of injected petrol engines is determined automatically under all environmental conditions.

Power devices and accessories (air conditioner, rear window defroster, windscreen wiper, etc.) do not operate when starting.

Emergency starting

If the engine does not start because the battery is dead, use another battery with the same amperage rating or slightly higher (see p. 103).

Follow the instructions on p. 68 for connecting the battery.

It is not a good idea to start the car by pushing or towing. However, if absolutely necessary, follow this procedure:

• Engage 3rd or 4th gear.
• Do not exceed 40 km/h (even when coasting downhill).
• Release the clutch pedal gradually.

Exhaust gases are toxic. Never let the engine run in an un-ventilated area.

Do not leave the key at MAR when the engine is not running.

Using the gearshift lever

Engage the gears by moving the lever according to the pattern shown in the figure (and on the top of the lever). Wait until the car is stationary before engaging reverse. Move the lever to the right and down from the neutral position.

① ③ ⑤ ② ④ R 47840

Move the gearshift lever only when the clutch pedal is fully pressed down. The area under the pedals should be kept clear of any object that might obstruct pedal travel. Always ensure the carpets lie flat and do not interfere with the pedals.

Suggestions

• Adjust your seat to a comfortable driving position, then adjust the rearview mirrors. Buckle your seat belt. Make sure all passengers have theirs buckled, too.
• Long trips, especially during summer, should be started when traffic is at a minimum. Never drive for too many hours without stopping. Make frequent rest stops. Get out of the car and stretch or take a short walk. Try to eat light, wholesome meals when travelling to improve your concentration and reflexes.
• Use the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system to provide a constant exchange of air.
• Make sure the car's headlamps are properly aligned. This is especially important for driving at night. If the headlight beam is too low, visibility will be impaired causing greater eye fatigue. On the other hand, headlights aligned too high will disturb others in front of you and drivers coming the opposite direction. The latter is usually an infraction of Motor Vehicle Code regulations.
• Never coast with the engine switched off. This is particularly dangerous because of a lack of engine braking. Furthermore, the brake system servo does not operate requiring much greater foot pressure on the brake pedal.
• After driver under conditions that heavily tax the engine, let the car idle for a couple of minutes until the coolant temperature starts to drop, then switch off the engine.

FUEL ECONOMY

Saving fuel does not necessarily mean sacrificing performance. Try the following suggestions:

- Do not race the engine while waiting at traffic lights. Try not to accelerate too rapidly when moving off.

- Double-clutching and depressing the accelerator pedal before stopping are unnecessary and may damage turbocharged engines.

- Never drive with the accelerator pedal "floored". You'll use less fuel if you accelerate gently and do not exceed two-thirds of the maximum recommended speed for each gear.

Illustration of a feather with a curved stem and leaf-like structure (no text or symbols)

- Shift up to a higher gear whenever possible.

- Do not leave the engine running for longer than necessary.

- Fuel consumption increases when the tyres are underinflated and/or the windows are open. Low tyre pressure is also a cause of premature, uneven wear.

- Remove the roof or ski rack when you are not using it.

- When driving in heavy traffic try not to use electric devices with a high power rating (rear window defroster, maximum fan speed, etc.) to prevent an excessive drain on the battery while the alternator is charging at a lower rate.

Take care of your car, particularly the engine, by performing "Service schedule maintenance" and "Lubrication service" operations.

TOW HITCH

General information

Your car must be fitted with an approved tow hitch in order to tow a trailer. Additionally, the car's electrical system should be modified to handle the trailer's electrical system.

You will also need to fit large rearview mirrors on the front wheel arches.

Remember that when towing a trailer you will be unable to drive on grades as steep as those indicated in the "Gradeability" table.

When driving downhill use a lower gear instead of braking repeatedly.

The load exerted by the trailer and the weight of the hitch have to be subtracted from the car's maximum permissible payload to determine the maximum load.

The term "maximum towable weight" indicates the weight of a fully laden trailer including luggage and accessories.

Ensure the trailer's overall weight is under the maximum permissible indicated on the car's registration papers.

Installing a tow hitch

You are responsible for bolting the tow hitch to the car's body according to the diagram on p. 57.

The electrical connector socket should be attached to a bracket bolted onto the car's body near the hitch.

Use either of the following couplings:

- "CUNA 501" ball coupling.

(CUNA NC 138-30 standard).

- "CUNA 501" socket coupling.

(CUNA NC 438-15 standard).

Use a 7-pin 12V connector for the trailer's electrical system (CUNA NC 165-30 standard).

Replace the direction indicator flasher unit with another able to handle twice the load (suitable for three 21 W bulbs.

The trailer's ground should be connected to the car's (via the 7-pin connector) using a cable having a 2.5-mm^2 cross section.

In addition to the required wiring illustrated in the schematic, only a power supply cable for an electrical trailer braking system and a trailer courtesy light (not more than 15 W) may be connected.

The electrical braking system must be directly connected to the car's battery with a cable having a cross section greater than 2.5 mm ^4 .

Additional tow hitch installation information is provided in the appendix of this handbook.

TOW HITCH

Brakes

Under no circumstances may the car's braking system be modified to control the trailer's brakes. The trailer's braking system must be entirely independent of the car's hydraulic system.

Note: If your car has a "check system", the power supply connector for the taillights, stop lights and trailer's number plate lights must be attached after the fuses and before the dropping resistors contained in the check unit that monitors the car's light bulbs.

Important

Use the jack for wheel changing only. Under no circumstances should it be used to raise the car for underbody repairs.

If you wish to use rims different from those supplied as standard equipment, ask your LANCIA dealer for advice. Only approved spare parts are guaranteed to fit and work properly.

The small space-saver spare should only be used to drive to a garage for repairs. Never exceed 80 km/h.

Inflation pressure: 2.8 bar.

The spare can be used for a maximum of 3000 km.

Never use two space-saver spares at the same time.

General information

- If a light does not illuminate, check the fuse protecting the circuit before replacing the bulb.

- Replace bulbs that have burned out with bulbs of the same type and wattage.

- Always handle halogen bulbs by the metal base. If you touch the glass the bulb's life will be considerably shortened.

...THE BATTERY IS DEAD

Jump starting

If the battery has lost its charge, start the engine using another battery with an amperage rating equal to or greater than your car's battery (see p. 103). Follow this procedure:

• Connect the two positive battery posts with a jumper cable.
• Connect one clamp of the second jumper cable to the negative terminal of the other car's battery and the other side to your car's ground bracket.

Diagram of an electrical circuit with two battery cells, one showing a sad face, connected to a power source and labeled terminals.

When the engine starts remove the jumper cables starting with clamp connected to the ground bracket.

Never use a battery charger to start the car.

Recharging

Carefully follow this procedure to recharge the battery.

• Disconnect both cables from the battery.
• Connect the battery charger's clamps to the battery. Now, turn the charger on.
• When charging is completed, turn off the charger before removing it from the battery.
• Apply petroleum jelly or another suitable compound to the terminal posts before reconnecting the cables.

Refer to the MAINTENANCE chapter for further information regarding the battery.

IMPORTANT: The battery electrolyte is toxic and corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Recharging must always be done in a well-ventilated area. Never expose the battery to an open flame or sparks.

Charge the battery with a trickle charger (low amperage for at least 24 hours).

Always disconnect the battery's negative cable before servicing the car's electrical system.

Under these conditions, "lubrication servicing" should be performed more frequently than indicated. The following parts are particularly subject to wear. They should be checked more often.

• Spark plugs and air cleaner element.
• Front disc brake pads.
• Tyres.

MAINTENANCE

Additional checks

The following checks should be carried out in addition to those described in the Service Schedule.

Every 500 km or before a long trip

• Engine oil level.
• Coolant level.
• Brake fluid level.
• Tyre pressure.

Change or replace the following:

Every 10,000 km

- Spark plugs (turbo versions).

Every 60,000 km or 2 years

- Coolant.

Every 100,000 km

- Toothed timing belt.

Every 120,000 km

- Transaxle oil.

Every year

- Brake fluid.

We highly recommend the use of Original Lancia Spare Parts. Every original part meets the same high standard of quality as factory-installed parts.

Use FIAT oils. They've been lubricating your car's engine since the first time it started.

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS

Engine oil

Check the oil when the car is on level ground. Wait about 10 minutes after switching off the engine.

1600 cc engine

Whenever you top up or change the oil let the engine run for a few seconds, wait a couple of minutes and then check the level again.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with hoses and components (no visible text or symbols)

Verify that the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick. When the level is under the MIN level, add oil through the oil filler hole until reaching the MAX mark.

Never fill above the MAX mark.

The oil volume between the MIN and MAX marks corresponds to about 1 litre.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with a highlighted spiral feature and an arrow indicating direction (no text or symbols)

Remove the sump plug to drain the oil. Wait about 10 minutes before replacing the plug. Draining the oil will be easier if you remove the oil filler cap and dipstick.

Drain the oil only when the engine is hot.

If you mainly drive in dusty or urban areas, change the oil and cartridge filter more frequently than suggested in this handbook.

Transaxle oil

When the car is parked on level ground the transaxle oil level should reach the lower edge of filler hole A.

A B 4.7851

To change the oil, unscrew plug B. Let the oil drain for about 10 minutes and then replace the plug.

Disposing of used oil

The oil drained from your car should be disposed of in compliance with current regulations.

Power steering fluid

Remove the dipstick incorporated in cap B to check the power steering fluid level, which should be at the maximum mark when the engine is running.

Technical illustration of a mechanical component with no visible text or symbols

45414

When the fluid is hot the level may be higher than the maximum mark on the reservoir.

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS

Brake fluid

Visually check the fluid level once a week without removing the cap.

Periodically check the operation of the fluid level panel warning light. When you press the reservoir cap (key at MAR) the light should turn on.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbols

Top up only with DOT 4 brake fluids. Tutela DOT 4-used during factory assembly of the brake system-is recommended.

Never use fluids with different specifications. They can cause permanent damage to the brake system seals.

Because brake fluid is corrosive, never let it come in contact with the car's body paint. Rinse off immediately with water if fluid drips onto the car.

Coolant

The coolant level should only be checked and topped up when the engine is cold.

The level should be a couple of millimetres above the expansion tank mark when the heater valve is open.

When the engine is hot never remove the expansion tank cap to avoid getting scalded.

Ø46.03 M8000 47518

Use a 50-50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water for topping up. The recommended coolant is Tutela FIAT Paraflu ^11 .

Draining the coolant:

- Open the heater valve by turning knob B fully clockwise (see p. 26).

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS

• Remove the expansion tank cap.
  – Pull off the hose connecting the radiator with the water pump on the radiator side.
• Open the heater valve by turning knob B fully clockwise (see p. 26).
• Reconnect the radiator hose.
• Slowly pour the coolant mixture into the expansion tank through the filler hole until the level is a couple of millimetres above the mark.
• Replace the expansion tank cap.
• Start the engine. Let it idle until you no longer see air bubbles in the coolant.
• Let the engine cool off, then top up the coolant level.

Refilling the cooling system:

This operation is performed by a Lancia Service Centre as part of service schedule maintenance.

ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Battery

General information

The battery is maintenance-free, and does not need to be topped up with distilled water.

The electrolyte level (car on level ground) should be between the the MIN and MAX marks on the battery.

A MAX MIN 65008

If absolutely necessary, the battery can be topped up by removing cap A. Add distilled water until the level reaches the MAX mark. Never overfill the battery.

Important: The electrolyte solution in the battery is corrosive and toxic. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Lead batteries should be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.

Warnings

The battery will hold its charge and last longer if you follow these suggestions:

• When you leave the car in a garage insure the doors and glove compartment are closed to prevent the interior lights from remaining on. Remember to turn off the map light.
• Do not leave electrical accessories on for a long time when the engine is not running (radio, hazard warning lights, side/taillights, etc.).
• If you install other accessories (remote controls, vehicle alarm system, radio with memory features) ask your Lancia dealer for advice regarding suitable devices.
• The standby power consumption of the aftermarket devices installed should not exceed 20 mA.

If the battery loses its charge, refer to p. 58 for further information.

ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Electronic control units

The car's ignition, injection and other control units do not generally need to be serviced.

However, you should take a number of precautions during diagnostic procedures, servicing or emergency starting.

• Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running.
• Disconnect the battery from the car's electrical system when charging it.
• Do not use a battery charger to start the engine. Always use another battery.
• Ensure the battery is properly connected to the car's electrical system. Check the polarity is correct and all cables and clamps are in good condition.
• Never disconnect or connect control units with the ignition key is at MAR.
• Never check battery polarity by sparking.
• Disconnect the control units when are welding body panels. Remove the control units when temperatures could exceed 80 °C (body painting).

Warning

It may be dangerous to make improper connections or modifications to the wiring harnesses of some of the car's systems (ignition, injection, etc.).

Improper installation of sound systems and/or electronic vehicle alarm systems can create interference with the ear's electronic control units.

Spark plugs

The condition of the spark plugs is an important factor in limiting exhaust emissions. Poor plug condition can also affect engine life and performance.

An improper air/fuel mixture will eventually cause plug deposits and shorten their life.

If the engine is not operating properly, have the spark plugs checked at a LANCIA Service Centre or by a skilled mechanic.

The spark plugs can often provide useful information when performing engine troubleshooting procedures.

Technical illustration of a spark plug with threaded shaft and threaded end (no text or symbols)

Always use recommended spark plugs. Plugs with the wrong heat ratio will cause poor engine performance.

Adjusting engine idle speed (1500 cc engine)

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with hoses and a labeled component (no readable text or symbols)

Turn screw A to adjust the carburettor throttle valve if the idle speed is not correct.

If this does not solve the problem, take your car to a LANCIA Service Centre for a thorough fuel supply system check. The Centre will check the idle mixture by determining the CO (carbon monoxide) level in the exhaust.

For other engines, have all procedures performed at a Service Centre as expertise and sophisticated equipment are required.

Adjusting belt tension

The alternator belt should never show signs of wear (cracks

or fraying), and should be properly tensioned to prevent slippage.

Although belt tensioning should be performed with specific equipment at a LANCIA Service Centre, you can use the following procedure in an emergency.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with labeled parts A and B, showing structural components and connections.

- Loosen tensioning nut A.

- Loosen alternator nut B.

– Pull the alternator outwards and tighten the nuts (first A then B).

Do not overtighten the belt to prevent premature bearing wear. The belt is properly tightened if it moves downwards only about 1 cm when you press it with your thumb.

Note Depending on the version, the alternator and bolts shown here may have a slightly different location, but the procedure is the same.

HANDBRAKE

CLUTCH

Adjusting the handbrake

Follow this procedure to adjust handbrake travel:

Technical diagram showing labeled parts A and B with a tool or device component, likely from an engineering or mechanical drawing.

– Pull lever A up from the released position.
- Turn nut B until the cable is taut.
- Verify that the car does not move when handbrake lever A is pulled up three or four clicks.

Adjusting pedal height

The mechanical clutch is self-adjusting and has no pedal free travel.

A B C 47944

If pedal height adjustment is required, turn nut A on clutch cable C. Tighten nut A to raise the pedal or loosen it to lower the pedal.

Tighten locknut B when the pedal is at the right height.

TYRES

Pressure and tyre wear

Make sure the tyres are always inflated to the correct pressure. This will increase their life, improve handling and guarantee driving safety.

Verify tyre pressures (including the spare) every two weeks and before taking long trips using a pressure gauge. Tyre inflation pressures (cold) are given on the table on the inside front cover.

Incorrect tyre pressure causes irregular wear.

A - Correct pressure: Tyre wears evenly.
B - Underinflated tyre: Shoulder tread wear.
C - Overinflated tyre: Centre tread wear.

Three labeled diagrams (A, B, C) showing a cross-sectional view of a mechanical or biological structure with internal channels and layered components (no text or symbols beyond labels)

Notes

Always check tyres when they are cold.

Tyres heat when driving causing an increase in pressure. If you have to check the pressure of a hot tyre, remember to add about 0.3 bar to the cold-tyre value indicated.

Driving with underinflated tyres will lead to more rapid heating, often causing permanent damage.

The tread depth should not be less than 1.5 mm*. The less tread present, the lower the road traction. Always drive carefully on wet roads.

Tread wear indicators are moulded into some tyres. As soon as they become visible replace the tyres.

Inspect the tyres for irregular tread wear or sidewall cuts. If not wearing evenly, have the tyres checked at a LANCIA Service Centre.

* After January 1, 1992 minimum tread depth is 1.6 mm (EEC directive 89/459).

TYRES

Important

Impact against the kerb, potholes or other objects, as well as frequent driving on poorly surfaced roads, may damage the tyres.

If a blowout occurs, stop as soon as possible to the change the tyre. Driving on a flat tyre will damage it.

Always remove the tyre from the wheel to inspect for damage.

Tyres can age even when they are not used. Tread or sidewall cracking and distension are signs of age. Have these tyres checked by an expert.

If the tyres have been on the car for over 6 years have them carefully checked. Also inspect the condition of the spare. Replace it as soon as possible if it is not in excellent condition.

Never use cheap, recapped tyres.

Never use inner tubes in tubeless tyres.

Always replace the inflation valve when changing a tyre.

Rotate the tyres (exchanging the front tyre with the rear one on the same side of the car) every 10,000-15,000 km to ensure even wear.

Never rotate the tyres in a criss-cross fashion.

Snow chains

The use of snow chains is governed by local regulations.

Use snow chains only on the front wheels of front-wheel drive cars.

Always recheck chain tension after driving about 30 metres. Drive at moderate speeds when using chains to avoid damaging the tyres. Do not drive on snow-free roads.

Always use low-profile chains. The maximum height of the chains should not exceed 12 millimetres.

HEATING SYSTEM FILTER WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WIPERS

Heating system filter (GT i.e. and HF turbo)

Remove screws A to reach the filter. Move the filter unit to the right, lift and replace it.

Windscreen and rear window wipers

If the wiper blades are not operating efficiently, try cleaning them with Autofà n. 9 DP1 fluid or alcohol. If cleaning them does not help, replace the blades.

Replacing the blades

Press tab C downwards on wiper arm D.

When the spring tab releases from the wiper arm's curved tip, slide it off arm D through the slot.

BODY MAINTENANCE

Protecting the car

LANCIA has implemented numerous production steps to greatly improve the car's resistance to corrosion caused by chemical agents including:

• Air pollution.
  – Airborne salt and humidity (seaside areas or hot, humid climates).
  – Road salt (used in winter to prevent ice formation).

Dust and fumes, as well as sand, mud and gravel kicked up while driving have an abrasive action on the paint and undercarriage.

The following high-tech solutions have been adopted to deal with this complex problem:

• Use of corrosion- and abrasion-resistant paints and paint application systems.
• Use of galvanized body panels which are highly resistant to corrosion.
• Extensive use of undercoating compounds and a protective engine compartment coating which have an exceptionally high affinity for metal.

• Use of pollution-resistant enamels.

• Spraying of protective resins on exposed areas such as door jambs, rocker panels and bumpers.

• Open-box cross and side member chassis construction to prevent the buildup of water that can lead to rust formation.

The factors described are diverse and vary depending on the environmental conditions where you drive. However, if you take a few minutes to take care of your car from time to time, it will last a lot longer.

The suggestions on the following pages will help you to maintain your car's body, paint and upholstery.

Paint - Body

The paint not only makes your car beautiful, it also protects the sheet steel under it.

Chipping or deep scratches should be immediately touched up to prevent rust.

Always use original paint for touching up (refer to paint ID plate on p.97).

Wash your car regularly to keep the paint in good condition. Wash more frequently in areas with high air pollution levels or when parking under trees (sap may drip onto the car).

Remove bird droppings immediately as uric acid will damage the paintwork. Thoroughly wash the car as soon as possible.

Wet the car using a low-pressure jet of water. Use a soft sponge dipped in a 2-4% solution of car wash or other detergent. Rinse the sponge often while washing the car. Then, rinse thoroughly and dry the car with a chamois-leather cloth.

Dry the entire car including less visible areas such as the door frames, bonnet and headlamp housings-areas where water can stagnate.

Do not park the car in a closed garage soon after washing it to allow for adequate air circulation facilitating the evaporation of the remaining water.

Do not wash the car if it has been parked in the sun or if the bonnet is still hot to avoid damaging the high-gloss finish.

Use good quality car care products such as silicone wax that create a protective layer on the paint and help to maintain the car's original lustre. If you notice dull areas, use a slightly abrasive wax polish to restore the paint.

Undercarriage

LANCIA has treated all areas of the undercarriage with a protective coating using state-of-the-art techniques.

However, the undercarriage should be checked occasionally, especially if the car is regularly driven under adverse conditions.

BODY MAINTENANCE

Undercarriage inspections should also be performed to check the mechanical assemblies. Deal immediately with any problems observed.

Some chassis members are sealed with plugs. Remove them during the inspection to check for rust.

If the car is often driven in areas with severe climates, treat the chassis and door jambs with protective compounds more often.

Appropriate products should be applied by a body shop to the undercarriage.

Have this done at least every two years (annually under severe conditions) at the beginning of winter.

Interior

It is also important to take care of the car's interior.

Check that there is no water under the floor mats (from dripping umbrellas) that could lead to rust formation.

Remove dust from the seat upholstery with a soft brush.

Remove grease stains with an appropriate product. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Use a sponge dampened in soapy water ( 12 oz. per gallon of water) if the seats are very dirty.

Windows

Clean the windows using an appropriate glass cleaner. Always use a clean cloth to prevent streaking and scratches.

Clean the inside of the rear window carefully to avoid damaging the embedded defroster wires. Rub only horizontally.

Engine compartment

The engine compartment should be thoroughly washed at the end of winter to remove road salt.

Cleaning plastic parts

Clean the exterior plastic parts when washing the car.

If still dirty, use an appropriate plastic cleaner. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Never use paint cleaning compounds on plastic.

Do not use alcohol to clean the instrument panel.

Avoid cleaning interior plastic parts with products that polish the plastic (e.g., compounds containing silicone) as they will alter the appearance of parts with a matte finish. Use soapy water (add a surfactant if possible), a dilute alcohol solution (but never on the instrument panel) or a detergent sold expressly for cleaning plastic.

Suggestions

If you are not planning on using your car for several months, do the following:

• Clean and protect the paint with silicone wax. Clean the chrome parts using an appropriate compound.
• Park the car in a dry, covered place with adequate ventilation.
• Release the handbrake.
• Disconnect the battery cables.
• Remove the wiper blades and coat them with tale.
• Open the windows about an inch.
• Cover the car with a tarpaulin that breathes. Never use a sheet of plastic as it will trap moisture.
• Increase the tyre pressures at least 0.5 bar more than indicated in the table on p. 110. Verify pressure from time to time.
• Every 1 12 months perform a battery state-of-charge check. Recharge using a trickle charger for 24 hours.
• Do not drain the coolant.

The fuel consumption values listed in the table above were determined in official tests utilizing procedures defined in EEC directives. Simulated city driving fuel consumption is measured on a test-bed, while constant speed (90 and 120 km/h - 56 and 75 mph) fuel economy is measured both on a dry, level test track and using test-bed procedures.

These values may be useful for comparing different vehicles.

Actual fuel consumption may be slightly different from official values owing to diverse traffic conditions, driving style, the weather and the car's general condition.

The following suggestions will help you to keep your car's polluting exhaust emissions low.

• Perform maintenance at regular intervals and do repairs when necessary. Particular attention should be given to the engine (spark plugs, air cleaner, breaker points, ignition advance, injectors, injection pump timing, exhaust system and valve clearances).
• Let the engine run at idle only briefly.
• Use the choke for as short a time as possible.
• If you have diesel engine, drive your ear immediately after starting it. Do not let it warm up at idle.
• Never floor the accelerator when moving off or double-clutch when shifting gears. Both will increase fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
• Every vehicle condition that increases fuel consumption (overloading, underinflated tyres, poor wheel alignment) will increase exhaust emissions.
