If you want to add accessories after
buying the car (alarm, free – hand
phone kit, radio navigator and anti–
theft system, etc.) visit a
Lancia
Dealership
. They can suggest the
most suitable accessories to get and
check whether the electric system can
support the required load or whether
a larger capacity battery and alterna-
tor are required.
These devices in fact in take elec-
tricity also when the ignition key is re-
moved (car parked, engine off) and
can gradually drain the battery.
The overall intake of these devices
(standard and after-market) must be
less that 0.6 mA x Ah (of the battery),
as shown in the following table.

30 mA
60 Ah
36 mA
70 Ah
42 mA
It is also important to remember that
high intake devices (such as bottle
warmers, vacuum cleaners, cellular
phones, etc.) will speed up battery
discharging
when powered when
the engine is not running
.
IMPORTANT
Please note that
when installing additional systems in
the car incorrect wiring can be dan-
gerous, especially when concerning
safety systems.
BATTERY WITH HYDROMETER
Description
For versions/markets where applic-
able, the battery can be fitted with an
indicator for checking the electrolyte
level and battery charge. The battery
is of the “Low Maintenance” type fit-
ted with an indicator; therefore, un-
der normal conditions of use topping
up the electrolyte with distilled water
is not required. A periodical check is
however necessary to make sure it is
in efficient conditions through the in-
dicator on the battery cover which
should be dark in colour with a green
central area.
If the indicator is a bright colour, or
dark without the green central area,
contact a
Lancia Dealership
