SPARK PLUGS
The cleanness and soundness of the
spark plugs are very important for
keeping the engine efficient and pol-
luting emissions down.
The appearance of the spark plug,
if examined by expert eyes, is a good
way of pinpointing a problem even if
it has nothing to do with the ignition
system. Therefore, if the engine has
problems, it is important to have the
spark plugs checked at a
Lancia
Dealership .
The spark plugs must be
changed at the times
specified in the Service
Schedule. Only use the type of
plugs indicated. If the heat ratio
is less than required or the life
specified is not guaranteed, prob-
lems can arise.
ELECTRONIC
CONTROL UNITS
When the car is being used normal-
ly, special measures are not neces-
sary.
The following instructions must be
followed very carefully, however, if
you work on the electrical system or
in cases where emergency starting is
necessary:
– never disconnect the battery from
the electrical system while the
engine is running
– disconnect the battery from the
electrical system if you are recharg-
ing it. The modern battery chargers
can discharge voltage up to 20V
– never perform emergency start-
ups with a battery charger. Always
use an auxiliary battery
– be particularly careful when con-
necting the battery to the electrical
system. Make sure that the polarity
is correct and that the connection is
efficient
– do not connect or disconnect the
terminals of the electronic control
unit while the ignition key is at
MAR
– do not check polarity through
sparking
– disconnect the electronic control
units if you are electrically welding
the car body. Remove the units if
temperatures exceed 80°C (special
operations on the bodywork, etc.).
Modifications or repairs
to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly
and without bearing the features
of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
