check engine Lancia Musa 2011 Owner handbook (in English)

ELECTRIC ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electric accessories (that will gradually drain the battery),
visit a Lancia Dealership. They can calculate the overall electric requirement and check that the car’s
electric system can support the required load.

CODE card
Keep the card in a safe place, non in the car. Have the electronic code printed on the CODE card with you
at all times. You will need it to start the engine in an emergency.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it 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 HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... important information, advise and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your car
in time. Pay special attention to the symbols "(personal safety) #(environmental protection) â(car
integrity).
Refer to the “Warning lights and messages” chapter in this handbook if the message “see Handbook”

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electric de-
vices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) may
work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electric
devices may work.
❒AV V: engine starting (unstable po-
sition).
The ignition switch is fitted with a
safety system that, in the event the en-
gine is not started, turns back the ig-
nition key to STOPbefore repeating
the starting operation.
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of alarm) be carried
out that could badly affect perfor-
mance and safety. This also causes
the warranty to become null and
void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.
WARNING
fig. 19L0D0021m
If the ignition device is
tampered with (e.g.: at-
tempted theft), have it checked over
by a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Always remove the key
when you leave your car to
prevent someone from accidentally
operating the controls. Remember
to apply the handbrake. Engage
first gear if the car is parked up-
hill or reverse if the car is parked
downhill. Never leave children un-
attended in the car.
WARNING
STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is in position STOP, re-
move the key and turn the steering
wheel until it is locked.
Switching off
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.
Never extract the key while
the vehicle is moving. The
steering wheel would be locked as
soon as the steering wheel is turned.
This also applies to when the car is
towed.

COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 23
Warning light Aindicates overheating
of the engine coolant. In this case, stop
the engine and contact a Lancia Deal-
ership. This shows the temperature of
the engine coolant fluid and starts
working when the fluid temperature ex-
ceeds approx. 50°C. In normal condi-
tions, the needle may point to different
positions according to use and the en-
gine cooling system management.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to
the lowest value of the scale (low tem-
perature) and warning light Awill
light up to indicate a fault in the sys-
tem. Go to a Lancia Dealership to
have the system checked.
If the needle reaches the red
area, stop the engine imme-
diately and contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.

The steering wheel can be adjusted in
heightA-fig. 52and in depth B.
To carry out the adjustment, proceed
as follows:
❒release the lever by pulling it to-
wards the steering wheel (position
2);
❒adjust the steering wheel as re-
quired;
❒release the lever by pushing it for-
wards (position 1);
Saddle-shaped rear head
restraints optimise visibil-
ity and must always be raised it
when an occupant is present.
WARNING
fig. 52L0D0382m
Any adjustment of the
steering wheel position
must be carried out only with the
car stationary and the engine
turned off.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of
anti-theft device) that could badly
affect performance and safety,
cause the lapse of warranty and
also result in non-compliance of
the car with homologation require-
ments.
WARNING
The head restraints must
be adjusted so that they
support your neck and not your
head. Only in this way may they
perform their protective action.
WARNING
To optimise head restraint
protective action, adjust
the seat back upright and keep
your head as close as possible to
the head restraint.
WARNING
To refit the head restraint,
arrange it the right way
and then proceed as for checking
that it is locked.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuous
diagnosis of the components of the car
correlated with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on
the warning light
Uon the instru-
ment panel (together with relevant
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”), when these condi-
tions are no longer in peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒warn when a fault causes emissions
levels to increase;
❒to signal the need to replace deteri-
orated components. In this case, the rear wheels may sud-
denly lock and the car may swerve.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.The system also has a diagnostic con-
nector that can be interfaced with ap-
propriate tools, which makes it possi-
ble to read the error codes stored in
the control unit, together with a series
of specific parameters for engine op-
eration and diagnosis. This check can
also be carried out by the traffic po-
lice.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the
inconvenience, to check the system
completely, Lancia Dealerships are
obliged to run a bench test and, if
necessary, road tests which may also
call for a long journey.
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal
pulsating, do not remove your foot,
but keep it pressed; in doing so you
will stop in the shortest amount of
space possible under the current
road conditions.
WARNING
If warning light xonly
lights up on the instrument
panel (with a message on the mul-
tifunctional display, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided),
stop the car immediately and go to
the nearest Lancia Dealership.
Leakage of hydraulic fluid from
the braking system will compro-
mise functionality of the braking
system, either of the conventional
type or with ABS.
WARNING
Go to a Lancia Dealership
as soon as possible if warn-
ing light Ueither does not
light up when the key is
turned to MAR to if while travelling
the warning lights comes on either
steady or blinking (along with a
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, where provided). The opera-
tion of warning light Umay be
checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are
driving.

S.B.R. system
The car is fitted with a Seat Belt Re-
minder system (S.B.R.), consisting of
a buzzer and a flashing warning light
<on the instrument panel which
warns the driver that the seat belt
must be fastened.
The buzzer can be deactivated (until
the next engine stop) as follows:
❒fasten the driver’s seat belt;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then
release one of the seat belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact
a Lancia Dealership.
The S.B.R. can only be reactivated us-
ing the setup menu (see the “Warning
lights and messages” chapter, “Seat
belt reminder” paragraph).ADJUSTING THE FRONT SEAT
BELT HEIGHT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Always adjust the seat belt height to
the passenger’s body: this precaution
may considerably reduce the risk of
injury in the event of a collision.
Correct regulation is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half
way between the shoulder and the
neck.
To adjust, move the grip A-fig. 4of
the locking mechanism either up or
down and at the same time move the
ringBto the most suitable of the al-
lowed positions.
Remember that in the
event of a violent collision,
back seat passengers not wearing
seat belts also represent a serious
danger for the front seat passen-
gers.
WARNING
fig. 4L0D0128m
The height of the seat belts
must be adjusted with the
car at a standstill.
WARNING
After adjustment, always
check that the cursor to
which the ring is fastened is locked
in one of the set positions. Release
the grip and push downwards to
enable the locking device to click if
the grip has not been released in
one of the possible positions.

SAFETY
Always drive holding your
hands on the steering
wheel rim so that the airbag can
inflate freely in the case of need.
Do not drive with your body bent
forward. Keep your back straight
against the back rest. Have the
airbag system checked by a Lan-
cia Dealership if the car was
stolen, if theft was attempted, or if
the car was subjected to vandalism
or flooding.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying ob-
jects in your lap, in front
of your chest or between your lips
(pipe, pencils, etc.): they could
cause severe injury if the airbag is
deployed.
WARNING
The airbag deployment
threshold is higher than
that of the pretensioners. For col-
lisions in the range between the
two thresholds, it is normal for
only the pretensioners to be acti-
vated.
WARNING
When the key is turned to
MAR warning light
“(with passenger front airbag acti-
vated) will blink for a few seconds
to remind you that the airbag will
be deployed in the event of a colli-
sion after which it should go out.
WARNING
Do not wash the seats
with pressurised water or
steam (by hand or in automatic
seat washing stations).
WARNING
An airbag is not a replace-
ment for the seat belts but
increases their efficiency. Further-
more, since front airbags are not
deployed in low speed collisions,
side collisions, rear-end shunts or
roll-overs, the occupants are only
protected by the seat belts which
must be fastened at all times.
WARNING
Do not attach rigid objects
to the coat hooks and sup-
port handles.
WARNING
Airbags may be deployed
if another vehicle crashes
if the key is inserted and at MAR
also if the engine is not running
and the car is stationary. For this
reason, children must never sit on
the front seat, even if the car is not
moving. On the other hand, if the
key is inserted and at STOP, none
of the safety devices (airbag or
pretensioners) will be deployed in
a collision. Non deployment of the
devices in this case does not indi-
cate a system fault.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of
your vehicle down and lower the
amount of toxic emissions released
into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Service
schedule”.
Ty r e s
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption
because rolling resistance will be
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
boot. The weight of the car (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These acces-
sories decrease aerodynamic penetra-
tion of the car and have a negative ef-
fect on consumption. It is better to use
a trailer to transport particularly
bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the
amount of time needed. Rear heated
window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, there-
fore increasing the requirement of
current increases fuel consumption
(up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires
higher fuel consumption (up to +20%
in average): use the air vents when the
external temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag
and fuel consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the
car standing: the engine warms up
very slowly in these conditions, in-
creasing consumption and emissions.
It is advisable to start off immediately
and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much
faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at
traffic lights or before stopping the
engine. The latter action, like dou-
bling the clutch, is unnecessary and
causes increase of consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic
and road conditions allow. Using a
low gear for faster acceleration will in-
crease consumption.
In the same way improper use of a
high gear increases consumption,
emissions an engine wear.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for
longer than a month, the following
precautions should be noted:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if
possible well-ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not
engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery
terminal and check battery charge.
Repeat this check once every three
months during storage. Recharge
the battery if the optical indicator
shows a dark colour without the
central green area;❒clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds
readily available;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rub-
ber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the
glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the car with a fabric or per-
forated plastic terrapin. Do not use
compact plastic sheets which do not
allow humidity to evaporate from
the surface of the car.❒inflate tyres to a pressure of +0,5
bar above the normal specified
pressure and check it at intervals;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery
from the electric system, check its
charge every month and recharge it
if the optical indicator shows a dark
colour without the central green
area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling sys-
tem.
