refuelling Lancia Delta 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

REFUELLING
Petrol engines:exclusively refuel the car with un-
leaded petrol with a RON no lower than 95.
Diesel engines:refuel only with diesel fuel conform-
ing to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty due
to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines:make sure that the handbrake is en-
gaged, place the gear lever in neutral, fully depress the
clutch without depressing the accelerator, then turn the
ignition key to AV Vand release it as soon as the en-
gine has started.
Diesel engines:turn the ignition key to MARand wait for the
warning lights
Yandmto switch off; turn the ignition key
AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures
during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire
hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous
diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions
to ensure better respect for the environment.ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical ac-
cessories (that may gradually drain the battery), visit
aLancia Dealership. They can calculate the overall
electrical requirement and check that the car’s elec-
tric system can support the required load.
CODE CARD
Keep the card in a safe place, not in the car. We rec-
ommend that you always carry the electronic code pro-
vided on the CODE card with you, in case you need
to perform an emergency start.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct car maintenance is essential to ensure that the
performance, safety features, environmental friendli-
ness and low running costs are unchanged over the
years.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... important information and warnings on the correct
use and maintenance of your car over time as well as
safe driving tips. Pay special attention to the symbols
"(personal safety) #(environmental protection)
â(car safety).
Refer to the “Instrument panel warning lights” chapter in this
handbook if the message “See Handbook” appears on the dis-
play.

Lancia Code system failure (amber)
This warning light (or symbol on the display),
when on constantly with the ignition key
turned to MAR, indicates a possible failure (see
“Lancia Code system”).
If the
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) is flash-
ing, this means that the vehicle is not protected by the en-
gine immobilizer device (see “Lancia Code system”).
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have all the keys pro-
grammed.
Alarm failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
A failure in the alarm system is signalled by this warn-
ing light (or symbol in the display) switching on. Contact
a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
The display shows the dedicated message.
Break in attempt
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on
when a break in attempt is detected. Contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.
The display will show a dedicated message. ABS system failure (amber)
When the key is turned to the MAR–ON posi-
tion the warning light comes on but should go
out after a few seconds. The warning light will
light up when the system is either not working or not
available. Under these circumstances the braking system
will work as normal without the extra performance of-
fered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully and go to a Lancia Dealership as soon
as possible.The display will show a dedicated message.

Water in the diesel filter
(Multijet versions) (amber)
When the key is turned to the MAR position
the warning light comes on but should go out af-
ter a few seconds. The warning light turns on when there
is water in the diesel filter. The display will show
a dedicated message.
c
The presence of water in the supply circuit
may cause severe 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 Deal-
ership as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears im-
mediately after refuelling: if this happens, switch
the engine off immediately and contact a Lancia
Dealership.

REFUELLING THE CAR
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number (R.O.N.)
not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads to
harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pol-
lution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, diesel thickens due
to the formation of paraffin clots with consequent defec-
tive operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel
are distributed according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold/mountain areas). If re-
fuelling with diesel fuel whose specifications are not suit-
able for the current temperature, it is advisable to mix
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the proportions
shown on the container with the fuel. Pour the additive
into the tank before the diesel 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 diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50%
full.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine be-
yond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, due to the damage caused. If you acciden-
tally introduce other types of fuel into the tank, do
not start the engine and empty the tank. If the en-
gine has run, even for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel system emptied in ad-
dition to the tank.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice after the first
click of the fuel delivery gun. Further top ups could cause
faults in the fuel supply system.

FUEL TANK CAP fig. 88
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 sealing may cause a slight pres-
sure increase in the tank. A little breathing off, while
slackening the cap is absolutely normal.
When refuelling, fasten the cap to the device inside the
flap as shown in the figure.OPENING THE FUEL CAP IN AN EMERGENCY
In case of emergency, pull the cord A-fig. 89. Remove the
cover to access the cord.

Do not bring naked flames or lit cigarettes
near to the fuel tank opening: fire risk. Keep
your face away from the fuel filler to avoid
breathing in harmful vapours.
