MAINTENANCE
Substances contained in the
batteries are very danger-
ous for environment. For
battery replacement, con-
tact Lancia Dealership, which is
equipped for disposal respecting en-
vironment and law regulations.
The wrong installation of
electric and electronic ac-
cessories can serious dam-
age the car. To install anti-
theft device, mobile phone, etc. after
purchasing the car, please contact
Lancia Dealership, for suggestions
about the most suitable devices and,
most of all, recommendations on us-
ing a higher capacity battery.
If car remains unused for
long time in cold weather
conditions, remove the battery and
transfer it to a heated place, other-
wise it could be frozen.
WARNING
When operating on or near
the battery, always protect
your eyes with specific goggles.
WARNING
USEFUL RECOMMENDATIONS
TO EXTEND BATTERY
DURATION
In order to prevent the quick dis-
charge of battery and extend its oper-
ation in time, carefully follow these
instructions:
❒
when parking the car, ensure that
doors and hoods are properly
closed, to prevent roof lamps from
remaining switched on in the pas-
sengers’ compartment;
❒
switch off internal roof lamps: any-
way, the car is equipped with an
automatic system for switching in-
ternal lights off;
❒
with engine off, do not keep devices
switched on for long time (for ex.
car radio, emergency lights, etc.);
❒
before any operation on electric
system, disconnect the negative
pole cable from battery;
❒
fully tighten battery terminals.
WARNING Keeping the battery in
charging state lower than 50% for a
long time damages battery due to sul-
phation, reducing starting skill and
capacity.
Besides, it is more subject to freezing
(possibly occurring at –10 ° C).
In case of long stop, refer to para-
graph “Car inactivity”, in chapter
“Starting and driving”.
To install onboard electric accessories
needing permanent electric supply
(alarm, etc.) or any accessory affect-
ing the electric supply, after purchas-
ing the car, please contact Lancia
Dealership, whose personnel can sug-
gest the most suitable devices belong-
ing to Lancia accessory line and eval-
uate total electric absorption, to en-
sure whether the car electric system
can support the load required or must
be integrated by a larger battery.
Really, some of these devices contin-
uously absorb electric energy also
with engine off, gradually discharging
the battery.
