The engine cooling sys-

tem works with PARAFLU

UP. Top up only with the

same fluid contained in the cool-

ing circuit. PARAFLU UP cannot

be mixed up with PARAFLU 11 or

other fluids. Should this take

place, do not start the engine and

contact a Lancia Dealership. In

case of need, lacking the speci-

fied fluid, top up with water and

contact a Lancia Dealership to

have the proper proportions

restored.

The cooling system is

pressurised. If necessary,

replace the cap with a

genuine spare part to avoid com-

promising the system efficiency.

The mixture of distilled water

and PARAFLU gives freeze pro-

tection down to -35°C. 

POWER STEERING FLUID 

(fig. 14-15)

Fluid level in the reservoir should

be at the maximum.

This check should be performed

when the engine is cold and with the

car on level ground.

For topping up, remove cap A,

after loosening the fastening screws

B with the wrench provided (in the

tool bag), then remove hose C and

loosen cap D.

Check that the level reaches the

MAX reference line on the dipstick

integral with the reservoir cap (for

cold check use the level indicated on

the 20 °C side of the dipstick).

If the fluid level in the reservoir is

below the specified one, top up only

with one of the products shown in

table “Fluids and lubricants” in

chapter “Technical Specifications”

proceeding as follows:

– Start the engine and wait for the

oil level in the reservoir to stabilise.

– With the engine running, turn the

steering wheel lock to lock a few

minutes.

– Top up to the MAX reference line

and then refit the cap D.
