brake light Lancia Delta 2010 Owner handbook (in English)

136GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
If the obstacle is located at the side, it is detected at dis-
tances of less than 0.6 m.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is automatically deactivated
when the trailer electric plug is inserted in the car tow hook
socket. The sensors are automatically enabled again when
the trailer cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook fitted when
there is no trailer, it is advisable to go to a Lancia Deal-
ership to have the system updated because the tow hook
could be detected as an obstacle by the centre sensors.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Either symbol
S(if the Magic Parking system is fitted),
or symbol
t(if the Magic Parking is not fitted) will light
up on the display in combination with a message or with
instrument panel warning light
èif parking sensor faults
are detected.
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost attention to
any obstacles that could be located above or below the sen-
sors.
Under certain circumstances objects located in front of
or behind the vehicle may not be detected and could there-
fore cause damage to the vehicle or be damaged them-
selves.The following conditions may influence the performance
of the parking sensor system:
❍Reduced sensor sensitivity and reduced parking aid
system performance could be caused by the presence of
the following on the surface of the sensors: ice, snow, mud,
multiple layers of paint.
❍The sensors detect objects that are not there (“echo dis-
turbance”) caused by mechanical disturbances, for ex-
ample: washing the car, rain (extreme wind conditions),
hail.
❍The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered by
the presence of ultrasound devices (e.g. pneumatic brake
systems or pneumatic drills) near the car.
❍The performance of the parking assistance system may
also be affected by the position of the sensors. For ex-
ample, if the geometry is altered (as a result of wear of the
shock absorbers, suspension) or the tyres are changed, the
vehicle is too heavily laden, specific tuning is carried out
that lowers the vehicle.
❍The detection of obstacles at the top part of the vehi-
cle may not be guaranteed because the system detects ob-
stacles that could cause an impact with the vehicle in the
bottom part.

STARTING UP AND DRIVING167
3
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❍engage the handbrake;
❍put the gear lever into neutral;
❍press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touch-
ing the accelerator;
❍turn the ignition key to AVV and release it the moment
the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR the
Ywarning light
remains lit together with warning light U, turn the key
to STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light re-
mains lit, try with the other keys provided with the car.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.
PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❍engage the handbrake;
❍put the gear lever into neutral;
❍turn the ignition key to MAR: instrument panel warn-
ing lights
mandYwill light up;
❍wait for warning lights
Yandm, to turn off. The
hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;❍press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touch-
ing the accelerator;
❍turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as the
mwarn-
ing light goes out. Waiting too long will waste the work
done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
IMPORTANT When the engine is cold, the accelerator
pedal must be completely released when the key is turned
to AVV.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the
ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure. If,
when the ignition key is at MAR the
Ywarning light re-
mains lit, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if
the warning light remains lit, try with the other keys pro-
vided with the car. Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still
cannot start the engine.
Warning light mwill blink for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged cranking
to indicate a fault in the glow plug preheat-
ing system. Use the car normally if the engine starts
and contact the Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.

168STARTING UP AND DRIVING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, tow-
ing or driving downhill. This could cause a
flow of fuel into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER
IT HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❍drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
speed. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❍do not demand maximum performance for the first few
kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge starts
moving.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow the
engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off by letting
it idle to allow the temperature in the engine compartment
to fall.
A quick burst on the accelerator before turn-
ing off the engine serves absolutely no prac-
tical purpose, it wastes fuel and is damaging
especially to turbocharged engines.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the handbrake.
The car should be braked after a few snaps
of the lever, if it is not, contact a Lancia Deal-
ership to have it adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is engaged and the ignition key
is on MAR, the instrument panel warning light xwill
light.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
❍slightly lift the handbrake and press release button
A-fig. 1;
❍hold button A pressed and lower the lever. The x
warning light on the instrument panel will go out.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the car from moving accidentally.

172STARTING 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.
165-174 Delta 3ed gb 11-11-2009 12:10 Pagina 172

174STARTING UP AND DRIVING
Keep your speed down when snow chains are
fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
steps and pavements and avoid also driving
for long distances on roads not covered with snow
to avoid damaging the car and the roadbed.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
Snow chains may be applied only to the front wheel tyres
(drive wheels).
Check the tension of the chains after the first few metres
have been driven.
IMPORTANT The spare wheel cannot be fitted with snow
chains. If the front tyre has a puncture, replace a rear wheel
with the spare wheel and move the rear wheel to the front
axle. This way, having two standard size wheels on the
front axle, is it possible to fit the chains.
EXTENDED CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, the
following precautions should be observed:
❍park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-ven-
tilated place;
❍engage a gear;
❍check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❍disconnect battery negative terminal and check the bat-
tery charge (see paragraph “Battery - Charge and elec-
trolyte level check” in chapter “5”);
❍clean and protect the painted parts of the vehicle with
protective wax;
❍clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds readily available;
❍sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
❍slightly open the windows;
❍cover the car with a fabric or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use compact plastic sheets which do not allow
humidity to evaporate from the surface of the car;
❍inflate the tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the
normal specified pressure and check the pressure at
regular intervals;
❍do not drain the engine cooling system.
