STARTING AND DRIVING
STARTING THE ENGINEThe car is fitted with an electronic engine lock device: if
the engine fails to start, see the “Lancia CODE system”
paragraph in chapter 1.
In the first period of use, we recommend
avoiding excessive stress for the car (for in-
stance excessive accelerations, extended trav-
el at maximum speed, sudden braking etc.).With engine off, do not leave the key in the ig-
nition switch on MAR to prevent draining the
battery.
It is dangerous to let the engine run in en-
closed spaces. The engine takes in oxygen and
releases carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
and other toxic gases. Remember that the brake servo and electri-
cal power steering system are not operational
until the engine is started, therefore a greater
effort will be required to press the brake pedal or
turn the steering wheel.

Proceed as follows to start the car:
❍connect the positive terminals (+ sign close to the ter-
minal) of both batteries using a lead;
❍with a second lead, connect the negative terminal –
of the auxiliary battery to an earthing point E
on the
engine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
❍start the engine;
❍when the engine has been started, follow the sequence
above in reverse order to remove the leads.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
persist but contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative ter-
minals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the ex-
plosive gas which could come out of the battery. If the aux-
iliary battery is installed on another car, prevent any con-
tact between metal parts of the two cars.BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic converter
and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and elec-
trical power steering system (where provided) are not op-
erational until the engine is started, a greater effort will
therefore be required to press the brake pedal or turn the
steering wheel.

The driving characteristics of the car may
change when a space-saver wheel is fitted.
Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering. The total life
of a space-saver wheel is approximately 3,000 km,
after which it must be replaced by another wheel
of the same type. Never install a standard tyre on
a rim designed for use as a space-saver wheel. Have
the wheel repaired and refitted as soon as possi-
ble. Using two or more space-saver wheels at the
same time is forbidden. Do not apply grease to the
bolt threads before assembly: they might sponta-
neously unscrew.
Tool box (versions with HI-FI Bose)
There is a tool box located in the luggage compartment
for versions with HI-FI Bose.
This box contains:
❍screwdriver;
❍tow hook;
❍wheel bolt spanner;
❍wheel bolt access spanner;
❍alloy rims centring device;
❍jack. REMOVING THE SUBWOOFER
(versions with HI-FI Bose)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IMPORTANT The following procedure only applies to cars
equipped with HI-FI Bose systems with subwoofer (for
versions/markets, where provided).
SUBWOOFER AND SPACE-SAVER WHEEL
Proceed as follows to remove the subwoofer:
❍open the luggage compartment, pull tab A - fig. 10 and
lift up the mat;
❍undo locking device A - fig
. 8 and lift up the subwoofer.

REPLACING FUSESGENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electric system: they blow in the event
of a failure or improper action on the system. Check the
condition of the corresponding fuse when a device does
not work: the filament A - fig. 37 must be intact. If it is
not, replace the blown fuse with another having the same
amperage (same colour).
Bintact fuse
C fuse with damaged filament.
To replace a fuse, use the pliers D - fig. 37 attached to
the dashboard fuse box.
Refer to the tables on the following pages to identify the
protection fuse.
fig. 37
L0E0085m
If the fuse blows again contact a Lancia
Dealership.Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires
or other materials.Never replace a fuse with another with a
higher amp rating; FIRE RISK.If a general protection fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) blows,
contact a Lancia Dealership.Before changing a fuse, check that the igni-
tion key has been removed and that all the
other electric devices have been turned
off/disabled.If a general protection fuse for safety systems
(airbag system, braking system), power unit
systems (engine system, gearbox system) ac-
tive suspension system (for versions/markets, where
provided) or steering system blows, contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.

IN AN EMERGENCY
When towing, remember that without the help
of the brake servo and electric power steer-
ing, a greater effort is required on the pedal
and steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During towing,
make sure that the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing the car, it
is compulsory to respect specific highway code reg-
ulations relating to the tow hook and procedures for
towing on the road. Do not start the engine while
towing the car. Before tightening the ring clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure that the
ring is securely fastened before towing the car.
The front and rear tow hooks must only be
used for emergency situations on the road.
The car may be towed for short distances
when a dedicated device is used in compliance with
the Highway Code (rigid bar), and in order to move
the vehicle on the road in preparation for towing
or transport via a breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks
MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles off the road or
where there are obstacles and/or for towing oper-
ations using cables or other non-rigid devices. Re-
specting the above conditions, towing must take
place with two vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the same centre
line.
Before towing, turn the ignition key to MAR
and then to STOP without removing it. The
steering column will automatically lock when
the key is removed and the wheels cannot be steered.

REPLACING 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 Servicing Plan” will
no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for main-
tenance.
Advanced ESP system
If the battery is disconnected, the áwarning light will
switch on (together with a message in the display) to in-
dicate that the system must be realigned. To s witch thewarning light off, carry out the following initialisation pro-
cedure:
❍turn the ignition key to MAR:
❍turn the steering wheel fully both clockwise and anti-
clockwise (to move from the position with the wheels
straight);
❍turn the ignition key to STOP and then to MAR.
If the áwarning light does not go out after a few seconds,
go to a Lancia Dealership. 244
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames or possible sources of sparks away
from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.Using the battery when the fluid is too low
can damage it irreparably and generate a
risk of explosion.
BATTERYThe car is fitted with a low-maintenance battery F - fig.
1: no electrolyte top-ups with distilled water are needed
in standard conditions of use.
It does need to be checked regularly at a Lancia Dealer-
ship or by specialised personnel to make sure that it is
working properly.
233-256 Delta GB 1ed 26/08/13 13.13 Pagina 244

WHEELS AND TYRESCheck the pressure of each tyre, including the space-saver
wheel, approximately every two weeks and before long
journeys: the pressure should be checked with the tyre rest-
ed and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase as the car is used;
see the “Wheels” paragraph in chapter “6” for the correct
tyre inflation pressure.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 2:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6
mm thick. In any case, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try you are in.

IMPORTANT
❍Where possible, avoid braking suddenly, wheel-spin-
ning and crashing into curbs, potholes or other ob-
stacles. Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads
can damage the tyres;
❍check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swellings
or irregular tread wear. Go to a Lancia Dealership if
required.
❍avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may
cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❍if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and change it
to avoid damage to the tyre, wheel rim, suspension and
steering system;
❍the tyre ages even if rarely used. Cracks in the tread and
on the side walls are a sign of ageing
. Have the tyres
checked by specialised personnel if they have been fit-
ted for longer than 6 years. Remember to check the
space-saver wheel very carefully;
❍when replacing the tyres, always fit new tyres, avoid-
ing those of dubious origin;
