key is turned to MAR, but it should go off after
a few seconds. The warning light turns on when there is
water in the diesel fuel filter. The display will show a ded-
icated message.
c
The presence of water in the fuel system circuit
may cause severe damage to the injection sys-
tem and irregular engine operation. If the
c
warning light comes on (together with a message on the
display on some versions), 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 im-
mediately after refuelling: in this case, stop the engine
immediately and contact a Lancia Dealership.
ABS system failure (amber)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go off after a
few seconds. The warning light lights up when the
system is either not working or not available. Under these cir-
cumstances the braking system will work as normal with-
out the extra performance offered by the ABS system.

system checked.
The display will show a dedicated message.

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. 83
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. 83L0E0060m
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. 84.
To get to the cord, remove the cover.
