Lancia Musa 2008 Owner handbook (in English)

Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for selecting LANCIA.
We have written this handbook to help you get familiar with all the features of your car.
You should read it right through before taking the road for the first time.
You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your car to help you derive the best per-
formance from the technological features of your LANCIA. The booklet also provides a description of special features and
tips as well as essential information for correct care, maintenance, safety of car driving and use and preservation of your
LANCIA over time.
You are recommended to carefully read the warnings and indications, marked with the respective symbols, at the end of
the page:
personal safety;
the car integrity;
environmental protection.
The enclosed Warranty Booklet lists the services that LANCIA offers to its Customers:
- the Warranty Certificate with terms and conditions for maintaining its validity;
- the range of additional services available to LANCIA Customers.
We are confident that these instructions will help you become familiar with the car and appreciate your new car and
LANCIA after-sales staff who will be at your service.
Best regards and happy motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all LANCIA Musa versions. As a consequence, you should only consider the
information which is related to the engine and bodywork version of the car you have purchased.

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Safety and environmental protection are the guidelines that have inspired the LANCIA Musa project from its very
beginning.
This approach has enabled LANCIA Musa to successfully pass the extremely strict safety tests to which it was
subjected.
For this reason, the car has reached the maximum levels in its category and has probably been a precursor of future
parameters.
The continuous search for new and efficient solutions in terms of environmental protection makes LANCIA Musa a
model to be followed suit.
All the versions are equipped with environmental protection devices which reduce hazardous emissions of exhaust gases
at levels that go beyond the limits established by the existing regulations.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
LANCIA Musa has been designed and manufactured having the traditional aspects of performances and safety as the
major targets, but also keeping in mind the increasingly pressing issues relating to environmental protection and
safeguard.
The selected materials, techniques and special devices installed are the result of a process that enables dramatic
reduction of hazardous environmental impact, at the same time ensuring compliance with the strictest international
standards.

USE OF ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY MATERIALS
None of the components installed on LANCIA Musa contains asbestos. The padding and air conditioning system are
CFC-free (Chlorofluorocarbons), these gases being reliable for the depletion of the ozone layer. Dying agents and anti-
corrosion coating of the bolts and screws no longer contain cadmium, which pollutes the air and waterbeds.
EMISSION-REDUCING DEVICES (petrol engines)
Three-way catalytic converter (catalytic converter)
The exhaust system features a catalyst made with alloys of noble metals. It is installed in a stainless steel housing which
is resistant to high operating temperatures.
The catalyst converts the unburnt hydrocarbons, carbon oxide and nitrogen oxides that are present in the exhaust gases
(although in small quantities thanks to electronic injection ignition systems) into non-polluting compounds.
As the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures during car operation, we recommend that the car should not be
parked on materials that may pose a risk of flammability (e.g. paper, fuel oils, dry grass or leaves, etc.).
Lambda sensors
These sensors (Lambda) detect the oxygen content in the exhaust gases. Lambda sensors produce a signal which is
used by the electronic control unit of the injection and ignition system for regulating the air-fuel mix.
Fuel evaporation system
Even when the engine is not running, it is not possible to prevent the formation of petrol vapours. For this reason, a
system has been developed to “catch” these vapours in a special activated carbon vessel.
While the engine is running, these vapours are aspirated and delivered to combustion.

EMISSION-REDUCING DEVICES (Multijet engines)
Oxidising catalytic converter
It is used to convert the polluting substances in the exhaust gases (carbon oxide, unburnt hydrocarbons and
particulate) into harmless substances by reducing the smoke opacity index and the typical smell of exhaust gases
produced by diesel engines.
The catalyst converter comprises a stainless steel metal enclosure which contains a ceramic honey-comb body on which
the noble metal, having a catalyst function, is installed.
Exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.)
It is used to recirculate, i.e. recycle, a portion of the exhaust gases in percentage terms that change according to the
engine operating conditions.
When necessary, it is used to check the emissions of nitrogen oxides.

MUST BE READ!
REFUELLING
Petrol engines:exclusively refuel the car with unleaded petrol having a RON that must not be below 95.
Multijet engines:exclusively refuel the car with vehicle propulsion diesel fuel conforming to the
European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause the
warranty to be void depending on the damage caused.
ENGINE STARTING
Petrol engines:make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress
the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AV Vand release it as soon as the
engine has started.
Multijet engines:turn the ignition key to MARand wait until the warning lights Yandmgo off.
Then , turn the ignition key to AV Vand release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire risk.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components to
ensure better respect of the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add accessories that require electrical power supply
(that will gradually drain the battery), address the Lancia Dealership. They can calculate the overall
electrical absorption and check that the car electric system can support the required load.

CODE card
Keep it in a safe place, not in the car. We recommend that you should always carry the electronic code
provided on the CODE card with you, in case you need to perform an emergency start.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct car maintenance is essential for ensuring that the car stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its
safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER’S MANUAL CONTAINS…
... important information, advise and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your car
over time. Special attention must be paid to the symbols provided "(safety of persons) #(environmental
protection) â(car integrity).
If the multifunction display shows a message reading “See handbook”, you should refer to the section
“Warning lights and messages” in this handbook.
