DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thickens
due to the formation of paraffin clots with consequent de-
fective operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel
are distributed according to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold/ mountain areas). If refu-
elling with diesel fuel whose features are not suitable for
the temperature of use, it is advisable to mix TUTELA
DIESEL ART additive with the fuel in the proportions
shown on the container. Pour the additive into the tank
before the fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a long time in the
mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel using lo-
cally available fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50%
full.REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice after the pump
switches off. Further top-ups could cause faults in the
fuel feeding system.For diesel engines, use diesel fuel for motor
vehicles compliant with EN590 European
specifications only. The use of other products
or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair
and consequently invalidate the warranty. If you
accidentally introduce other types of fuel into the
tank, do not start the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has run, even for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel system emptied in ad-
dition to the tank.

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 75
To refuel, press flap A to release it and access the fuel tank
cap. The flap is locked with the central locking on.
Undo cap B which has a device C retaining it to the flap so
it cannot be lost. The hermetic seal may cause a slight in-
crease in pressure in the tank. A suction noise when you
release the cap is therefore entirely normal.
When refuelling, fasten the cap to the device inside the flap
as shown in the diagram.
fig. 75L0E0060m
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes
near to the fuel filler: fire risk. Keep your face
away from the fuel filler to avoid breathing
in harmful vapours.
EMERGENCY OPENING OF THE FLAP
In an emergency it is possible to open the flap by pulling
the cord A-fig. 76.
To get to the cord, remove the cover.

154STARTING UP AND DRIVING
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative effect on fuel con-
sumption and emissions: accelerate gradually.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-ups will prevent
the engine from reaching optimal running temperature.
Consequently, both fuel consumption (from +15 to +30%
on urban cycle ) and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high fuel consumption is caused by heavy traffic,
for instance when travelling in a queue with frequent use
of low gears or in cities with many traffic lights. Moun-
tain and rough roads also have a negative effect on fuel
consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (level crossings) the engine
should be switched off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be provided with a type-approved tow hitch
and adequate electrical system to tow caravans or trail-
ers. Installation must be performed by specialised per-
sonnel who will issue the required papers for travelling on
roads.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-view mirrors as
specified by the Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are hard-
er to climb, braking distances increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall weight of the trail-
er.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than con-
stantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the car’s tow hitch will reduce
the loading capacity of the car by the same amount. Con-
sider the weight of the vehicle at full load, including ac-
cessories and luggage to make sure you do not exceed the
maximum towable weight (shown on the registration cer-
tificate).
Respect the speed limits specific for each country for ve-
hicles towing trailers. In all cases, the top speed must not
exceed 100 km/h.

158IN AN EMERGENCY
STARTING THE ENGINE
Go to a Lancia Dealership immediately if instrument pan-
el warning light
Yremains on constantly.
JUMP STARTING fig. 1
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an
auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a little high-
er than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the car:
connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the termi-
nal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
with a second lead, connect the negative terminal –
of the auxiliary battery to an earth point E
on the en-
gine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
start the engine;
when engine has started, remove the cables by revers-
ing the sequence described for connection.
fig. 1L0E0074m
Never use a quick battery charger for an
emergency start: this could damage the elec-
tronic systems and the engine fuel feed and
ignition control units.
This starting procedure must be carried out
by expert personnel as incorrect manoeuvres
can cause electrical discharges of consider-
able intensity. Furthermore, battery fluid is poiso-
nous and corrosive: avoid contact with your skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames away from the battery.
No smoking. Do not cause sparks.
