2) Unscrew nut B and slide the com-

plete arm C from the rotating pin.

3) Fit a new arm and fasten the nut.

Close the cover.

IMPORTANT Before removing the

arm, mark the position of the wiper
(e.g. with felt-tip pen or adhesive
tape).

SPRAY NOZZLES 

If there is no jet of liquid, first make

sure that there is liquid in the reser-
voir: see “Checking fluid levels” in
this section.

Then make sure that the holes in the

nozzles (figs. 10 and 11) are not
clogged up. Use a pin for this if nec-
essary.

The windscreen and rear window

washer jets can be adjusted.

The windscreen washer jet can be

adjusted by inserting a pin in the
aperture of each nozzle.

The rear window washer jet can be

adjusted by moving the nozzle-holder
with a screwdriver.

CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM

During the winter, the climate con-

trol system must be turned on at least
once a month for about ten minutes.

Have the system checked at a LAN-

CIA Dealership before the summer.

The system uses R134a

refrigerating liquid. If it
accidentally leaks it will

not damage the environment.
Never use R12 fluid as it is incom-
patible with the system’s compo-
nents and also contains CFC.

BODYWORK

PROTECTING THE CAR FROM
ATMOSPHERIC ELEMENTS

The main causes of rust are:

– atmospheric pollution;

– salt and humidity in the atmos-

phere (coastal e or very hot and hu-
mid areas);

– environmental conditions that are

specific to the season.

In addition, the abrasiveness of dust

in the atmosphere and sand carried
by the wind as well as mud and stones
thrown up by other cars must not be
underestimated.

For your Lancia Y, Lancia has used

leading-edge technological solutions
to effectively protect the body from
rust.

These are the main ones:

– Painting systems and products

that make the car particularly resis-
tant to rust and scratching.

– The use of zinc-plated (or pre-

treated) sheet steel which is highly re-
sistant to rust.

– The spraying of the underbody,

engine compartment, inside the whee-
larches and other parts with wax-
based products with a high protective
capacity.

– Spraying plastic-coating materials

to protect the most exposed points:
under the door, inside the wings,
edges etc.

– The use of “open” box sections to

prevent condensation and water from
building up and rusting the inside of
the parts.

BODY AND UNDERBODY
GUARANTEE

Your Lancia Y is covered by guar-

antee against any original structural
or body part being holed by rust. Re-
fer to the “LANCIA Warranty Book-
let” for the general conditions of this
guarantee.

TIPS FOR KEEPING THE BODY
IN GOOD CONDITION

Paintwork

The paintwork is not only to make

your car look attractive but also to
protect the steel.

If your car is scuffed or scratched

deeply you are therefore recommended
to touch up the paintwork as necessary
to prevent rust from forming.

Only use original products when

touching up the paintwork (see the
“Technical specifications” section).

Ordinary maintenance of the paint-

work involves in washing it. The fre-
quency you should do this depends on
the conditions and the environment
the car is driven in. For example if
you drive in areas with a high level of
air pollution, or on roads sprinkled
with road salt, or if you park under
resinous trees, it is a good idea to
wash the car more often.

G

IMPORTANT Cars with optional

“Kaleidos” options (non-standard
personalised paint colours), can be re-
paired in exactly the same way as
other cars painted with standard
colours at your LANCIA Dealership.

To wash the car properly:
1) Remove the aerial from the roof

to prevent damaging it when washing
the car in an automatic carwash.

2) Wet the body using a low pressure

jet of water.

3) Wipe a sponge with a slightly

soapy solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge.

4) Rinse well with water and dry

with a jet of air or a chamois leather.

When drying the car, be careful to

get at those parts which are not so
easily seen e.g. the door frames, bon-
net and around the headlights where
water can most readily collect. You
are advised not to take the car into a
closed area immediately, but to leave
it out in the open so any water left can
evaporate more easily.

Do not wash the car after it has been

parked in the sun or while the bonnet
is hot: it could take the shine off the
paint.

External plastic parts must be

cleaned following the usual car wash-
ing procedure. 

As far as possible avoid parking your

car under trees; the resinous sub-
stances which often drop from certain
types of trees could dull the paint and
increase the possibility of rusting.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings must

be washed off immediately and with
great care as their acid is particularly
aggressive.

Detergents pollute water.

For this reason, the car
must be washed in an area

equipped for the collection and
purification of the liquids used
while washing.

IMPORTANT Washing is to be car-

ried out with the engine cold and the
ignition key on STOP. After washing
make sure that the various protections
(rubber sheaths and other guards)
have not moved from their positions
or been damaged.

IMPORTANT The car should be

washed while the engine is cold and
with the ignition key at STOP. After
washing the car, make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber boots
and various guards) have not been re-
moved or damaged.

G

Windows

Use specific window cleaners to

clean the windows. Use very clean
cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging its transparency.

IMPORTANT To prevent damage

to the electric heater elements, wipe
the inside of the heated rear window
gently in the same direction as the el-
ements.

Engine compartment

At the end of each winter season,

carefully clean the engine compart-
ment. Be careful not to direct the jet
of water on the electronic control
units. Have this done at a garage.

INTERIORS

From time to time check that water

has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which could cause the steel to rust.

CLEANING THE SEATS 
AND FABRIC UPHOLSTERY

– Remove the dust with a soft brush

or a vacuum cleaner.

– Rub the seats with a sponge moist-

ened in a solution of water and neu-
tral detergent.

PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE 
THE CAR

Use special products designed not to

alter the appearance of the compo-
nents.

IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol or

petrol for cleaning the glass of the in-
strument panel.

CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
AND PARTS

– Remove the dry dirt with a buck-

skin or very slightly moist cloth with-
out exerting too much pressure.

– Remove liquid or grease stains

with a dry absorbent cloth without
rubbing. Then wipe with a buckskin
or soft cloth moistened with water and
neutral soap.

If the stain does not come out, use a

special cleaning compound being par-
ticularly careful to follow the instruc-
tions for use. 

IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or

alcohol-base products.

Do not keep aerosol cans

in the car. There is the risk
they might explode. Aerosol

cans must never be exposed to a
temperature above 50°C; when the
weather starts to get hot the tem-
perature inside the car might go
well beyond that figure.

Never use flammable

products (petroleum ether
or petrol) to clean the in-

side of the car. Electrostatic
charges generated by rubbing
while cleaning could cause fires.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

M

otor and engineering enthusiasts as well as

those “in the trade” will probably start reading
from this point in the manual. This, in fact, is
where a section jam-packed with facts, figures,
formulae, measurements and tables begins. In a
sense, it is the Lancia Y’s identity card. 

A document that introduces the car and explains

in technical jargon all the features that go together
to make it a model designed to give you superla-
tive driving satisfaction.

types of homologated tyres.

IMPORTANT In the event of dis-

crepancies between the information
given in the Owner Handbook and
that shown in the log-book, refer to
the latter only.

Even if the specified dimensions are

complied with, the vehicle, for safety
reasons, must still be fitted with tyres
of the same make and type on all
wheels.
