petrol with a RON of at least 95.
Diesel engines:refuel the car exclusively with diesel fuel for
motor vehicles conforming to the European specification
EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the
engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the
warranty, depending on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines:make sure that the handbrake is
engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress
the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn
the ignition key to AV Vand release it as soon as the
engine has started.
Diesel enginesturn the ignition key to MARand wait until
the warning lights go off. YThenm, turn the ignition key
toAV Vand release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter reaches high temperatures
during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire risk.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that carries out a
continuous diagnosis of the emission-related
components in order to help protect the environment.ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical
accessories (that may gradually drain the battery),
visit aLancia Dealership.They can calculate the
overall electrical requirement and check that the
car’s electric system can support the required load.
CODE CARD
Keep this in a safe place, not in the car. We
recommend that you always carry the electronic code
provided on the CODE card with you, in case you
need to perform an emergency start.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

Selecting air distribution B-fig. 26
Press one or more buttons

/ / ˙to manually select
one of the 7 possible air distribution settings:

Air flow to the windscreen and front side win-
dow vents to demist/defrost them.
Air flow to the front and rear foot well vents. This
distribution setting rapidly heats the passenger
compartment.

Air flow distribution between front/rear vents,
˙dashboard central/side vents, rear vent, wind-
screen and front side windows demisting vents.

Air flow distribution between foot well vents and
windscreen and front side window demisting/ de-
frosting vents. This distribution setting allows ad-
equate warming of the passenger compartment
and prevents the windows from misting up.

Air flow distribution between foot well vents (hot-
ter air) and central/side dashboard vents and rear
vent (cooler air).
˙Air flow distribution between central/side dash-
board vents, rear vent and windscreen and front
side window demisting/defrosting vents. This dis-
tribution setting allows adequate ventilation of the
passenger compartment and prevents the windows

❍forced disablement (air recirculation always off, air
drawn in from the outside), - the LED on button
Tshould be off;
❍forced engagement (air recirculation always on), the
LED on button
Tshould be lit up.
When OFF is pressed, the climate control system auto-
matically activates air recirculation (the LED on button
Tshould be on). It is still possible to activate outside
air recirculation (LED on the button is off) and vice ver-
sa, by pressing button
T.
With the OFF button pressed (LED on the button is lit
up), it is not possible to enable the AQS (Air Quality Sys-
tem) function.
IMPORTANT The air recirculation system makes it pos-
sible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the pos-
sibility of the windows misting up inside, especially if the
climate control system is not switched on. It is advisable
to switch internal air recirculation on while in queues or
in tunnels to prevent the introduction of polluted air. Do
not use the function for a long time, particularly if there
are many passengers on board, to prevent the windows
from misting up.Enabling the AQS (Air Quality System) function
The AQS function (AQS appears on the display), auto-
matically activates internal air recirculation when the out-
side air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after 15 con-
secutive minutes of the internal air recirculation system
functioning, the climate control system enables the intake
of outdoor air for approximately 1 minute to freshen the
air in the passenger compartment. This takes place re-
gardless of the pollution level of the outside air.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for reducing petrol engine emissions are the
following:
❍three-way catalytic converter;
❍Lambda sensors;
❍fuel evaporation control system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with
one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The devices for reducing diesel fuel engine emissions are
the following:
❍oxidising catalytic converter;
❍exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.).
❍diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/markets,
where provided).
The catalytic converter reaches high temper-
atures during operation. Do not park on
grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flam-
mable material: fire risk.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, inte-
gral with the exhaust system, that physically traps par-
ticulate present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines. The
diesel particular filter has been adopted to almost totally
eliminate particulate in compliance with current / future
regulations. During normal use of the car, the engine man-
agement control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time,
type of route, temperatures reached, etc.) and it will then
calculate the amount of particulate trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning car-
bon particles. The regeneration procedure is controlled au-
tomatically by the engine management control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and car use conditions. Dur-
ing the regeneration procedure, the following situations
may occur: limited increase of idle speed, activation of
electric fan, limited increase of smoke, high temperatures
at the exhaust. These are not faults; they do not impair
car performance or damage the environment. If the ded-
icated warning message is displayed, refer to the section
“Instrument panel warning lights” in this chapter.

STARTING UP AND DRIVING171

Accessories fitted on longitudinal bars
Remove any accessories such as: longitudinal bars, ski
racks, luggage rack, from the roof if they are not being
used. These accessories decrease aerodynamic penetration
and have a negative effect on fuel consumption. It is bet-
ter to use a trailer to transport particularly bulky objects.
Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time needed.
The heated rear windscreen, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount
of energy; increasing the requirement of current increas-
es fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system leads to higher fuel consump-
tion (up to +20% on average): use air vents only when the
external temperature allows.
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 en-
gine warms up very slowly in these conditions, increas-
ing fuel 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 doubling the
clutch, is unnecessary and causes increased fuel con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road conditions
allow. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase
fuel consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases
fuel consumption, emissions and engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed in-
creases. Keep your speed as even as possible, avoiding un-
necessary braking and acceleration, which cause excessive
fuel consumption and increased emissions.

216CARE AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car life
under the best conditions.
Lancia has prepared a series of checks and service oper-
ations to be carried out every 30,000 kilometres (for petrol
versions) or every 35,000 kilometres (for diesel versions).
Scheduled servicing will not however fully cover all of the
needs of your car: also in the initial period before the
30,000/35,000 km service and later, between one ser-
vice and another, ordinary care is still required such as
routine checks, topping up the fluid levels,checking tyre
pressure, etc.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Services are required by the man-
ufacturer. Failure to carry them out may invalidate the
warranty.Scheduled Services are offered by all Lancia Dealerships
according to a set time schedule.
If during each operation, in addition to the scheduled ones,
the need arises for further replacements or repairs, these
may be carried out only with the explicit agreement of the
Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact a Lancia Deal-
ership in the event of any minor operating faults, with-
out waiting for the next service.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval be-
tween one service and the next should be reduced.
215-242 Delta 3ed gb 11-11-2009 12:14 Pagina 216

222CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Perform the following inspections more frequently than
shown on the Scheduled Service Plan:
❍check front disc brake pad condition and wear;
❍check cleanness of bonnet and boot locks and linkage
cleanness and lubrication;
❍visually inspect the condition of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust – fuel supply
- brakes) rubber elements (gaiters – hoses - bushes
etc.);❍check battery charge and fluid level (electrolyte); (see
“Battery - Charge and electrolyte level check” in this
chapter);
❍visually inspect the condition of auxiliary drivebelts;
❍check and if necessary replace the pollen filter; in par-
ticular it should be replaced if a decrease in the air flow
into the passenger compartment is detected;
❍check the air filter and replace, if required.

BATTERY
The battery F-fig, 1-2-3 provided with this vehicle is a
“Reduced maintenance” battery: no top-ups with distilled
water are needed in normal conditions of use.
It should nevertheless be periodically checked by a Lan-
cia Dealership or specialised personnel to check its effi-
ciency.
The battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and sources of sparks away
from the battery: risk of explosion and fire.
Running the battery with an excessively low
liquid level will damage the battery beyond
repair and even cause an explosion.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the ser-
vice intervals given in the “Scheduled Service Plan” will
no longer be valid.
Refer therefore to the instructions provided by the battery
manufacturer.
If the battery is disconnected, the áwarning light will
come on (together with a message in the display) to indi-
cate that the system must be realigned. To switch the
warning light off, carry out the following initialization pro-
cedure:
❍turn the ignition key to the ON position;
❍turn the steering wheel fully both clockwise and anti-
clockwise (to move from the position with the wheels
straight);
❍turn the ignition key to the OFF position and then turn
it back ON.
If the áwarning light does not go out after a few seconds,
seek assistance from a Lancia Dealership.
