In addition, when starting at outside
temperatures below approximately
–10°C, the switching times from petrol
to methane increase to allow the
pressure regulator/reduction unit to
heat up.
If the methane runs out, switching to
petrol takes place automatically. In this
case the display shows the
icon
just above the CNG wording and all the
bars of the edges for the empty
notches light up constantly.
REFUELLING
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 12 kg. The total volume of
cylinders is about 72 litres.
WARNING
31)The car is equipped with a high-
pressure methane system designed to
operate at 200 rated bar. It is dangerous to
stretch the system with higher pressures.
To prevent damage to the methane system
parts when towing or raising the car,
follow the instructions in the "Towing the
vehicle" paragraph in the "In Emergency"
chapter. If there is a problem with the
methane system, only contact a Lancia
Dealership. Do not modify configuration or
components of the methane system;
they have been designed exclusively for
this car. The use of other components
or materials could cause malfunctions and
prejudice safety.32)When oven painting, the cylinders
should be removed from the vehicle and
later carefully refitted by a Lancia
Dealership. Although the methane system
has numerous safety features, it is
advisable to close the manual cocks for the
cylinders every time the vehicle is not in
use for a long period, transported on other
vehicles or moved in an emergency as a
result of a breakdown or accident.
33)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.
WARNING
23)If, during methane operation, the same
runs out, the car switches to petrol
automatically and all the bars on the
display switch off. This displaying remains
until the next methane refuelling.
24)Regardless of the last fuel system
used, at the following engine starting, after
the initial petrol stage, the system will
automatically switch to methane.
25)When switching is requested, metallic
noise from the valves which pressurise
the circuit can be heard. For the switching
logics described above, a delay between
the valve ticking and the switching off
of the indication on the display is absolutely
normal.26)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature, the system may switch
temporarily to petrol operation, without
indicating the performed switching. In the
event of low methane levels in the tank
or request for high performance (e.g.
overtaking, car fully laden, steep hills) the
system may automatically switch to petrol
operation to guarantee the engine power
requested; the
icon on the display
switches on to indicate this. When the
above conditions are no longer present,
the system automatically restores methane
operation and the
icon switches off.
To achieve the automatic switching
described above, make sure that there is
always enough fuel in the petrol tank.

Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of
the system. The vehicle radio passport
shows the system model, serial number
and secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the vehicle radio
passport in a safe place so that you
can give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
In case of loss of the car radio
passport, contact the Lancia
Dealership, taking an ID document and
the car ownership documents.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Look at the screen only and when it is
necessary and safe. If you need to look
at the screen for a long time, pull over
to a safe place so as not to be
distracted while driving.
Immediately stop using the system in
the event of a fault. Otherwise the
system might be damaged. Contact a
Lancia Dealership as soon as possible
to have the system repaired.
WARNING
172)Follow the safety rules here below:
otherwise serious injuries may occur to the
occupants or the system may be
damaged.
173)If the volume is too loud this can be
dangerous. Adjust the volume so that
you can still hear background noises (e.g.
horns, ambulances, police vehicles, etc.).
WARNING
70)Only clean the front panel and the
display lens with a soft, clean, dry,
anti-static cloth. Cleaning and polishing
products may damage the surface. Never
use alcohol, petrols and derivatives.
71)Do not use the display as a base for
supports with suction pads or adhesives
for external navigators or smartphones
or similar devices.
