STARTING
AND DRIVING
Respect the speed limits specific for each
country for vehicles towing trailers. In all
cases, the top speed must not exceed 100
km/h.
The ABS with which the car
may be equipped will not
control the braking system of the trai-
ler. Particular caution is required on
slippery roads.
Never modify the braking sy-
stem of the car to control
the trailer brake. The trailer braking
system must be fully independent
from the hydraulic system of the car.
WARNING
WARNING
INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to
the body by specialised personnel accor-
ding to any additional and/or integrative
information supplied by the Manufacturer
of the device.
The towing device must meet current re-
gulations with reference to 94/20/EC Di-
rective and subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must match the towable weight of the car
on which it is to be installed.
For the electric connection a unified con-
nector should be used which is generally
placed on a special bracket normally fa-
stened to the towing device, and a spe-
cial ECU for external trailer light control
shall be installed on the car. For the electrical connection, 7 or 13 pin
12VDC connection is to be used (CU-
NA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow
the instructions provided by the car ma-
nufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufac-
turer.
An electric brake should be supplied di-
rectly by the battery through a cable with
a cross section of no less than 2.5 mm2,5.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other de-
vice shall be used with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the
car’s electric system can only be connec-
ted to the supply cable for an electric
brake and to the cable for an internal li-
ght, though not above 15W.
For connections use the preset control
unit with battery cable no less than 2.5
mm
2.

PROTECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE (amber)
Turning the key to MAR, the
warning light flashes once and then goes
off.
If with the ignition key at MAR, the war-
ning light stays on, this indicates a possi-
ble failure (see “Fiat Code system” in sec-
tion “Dashboard and controls”).
IMPORTANT The turning on at the same
time of the
UandYwarning lights in-
dicates a failure of the Fiat CODE system.
If with the engine running the warning li-
ght
Yflashes, this means that the car is
not protected by the engine inhibitor de-
vice (see “Fiat Code system” in section
“Dashboard and controls”).

The presence of water in the
feeding circuit may cause se-
vere damage to the injection
system and irregular engine
operation. If warning light
clights up
(on some versions with the message on
the display), go to a Lancia Dealership
as soon as possible to have the system
bled. Water may have been introduced
in the tank if this appears immediately
after refuelling: in this case, stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
