STARTING AND DRIVING

HANDBRAKEThe handbrake lever is located between the front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the handbrake, until the
car is braked.
The car should be braked after a few clicks
of the lever; if it is not, contact a Lancia Deal-
ership to have it adjusted.
When the handbrake is on and the ignition key is at MAR,
the instrument panel xwarning light will come on.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
❍slightly lift the lever and press release button A - fig. 1;
❍keep button A pressed and lower the lever. The x
warning light on the instrument panel turns off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the car from moving accidentally.
PARKING
Proceed as follows:
❍stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❍engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the car
is facing uphill or reverse if it is facing downhill) and
leave the wheels steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is
parked on a steep slope.
Do not leave the ignition key on MAR to avoid draining
the battery. Always remove the key when you leave the
car.
Never leave children unattended in the car. Always remove
the ignition key when leaving the car and take it out with
you.

IN AN EMERGENCY
STARTING THE ENGINEGo to a Lancia Dealership immediately if instrument pan-
el Y
warning light remains on constantly.
JUMP STARTING fig. 1
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an
auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a little high-
er than the flat one.
fig. 1
L0E0074m
Strictly avoid using a rapid battery charger
for jump starting: this could damage the elec-
tronic systems and the engine fuel supply and
ignition control units.This starting procedure must be carried out
by expert personnel as incorrect manoeuvres
can cause electrical discharges of consider-
able intensity. Furthermore, battery fluid is poiso-
nous and corrosive: avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames away from the battery. No
smoking. Do not cause sparks.

Never remove or cover the label. Never apply
a hub cap on a space-saver wheel. The la-
bel bears the following instructions in four
languages: WARNING! FOR TEMPORARY USE
ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX.! REPLACE WITH STAN-
DARD WHEEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT
COVER THIS LABEL.
If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead
of steel rims) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized
bolts.Alert other drivers that the car is stationary
in compliance with local regulations: hazard
warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any
passengers on board should leave the car, especial-
ly if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is be-
ing changed. If parked on a slope or rough surface,
chock the wheels with wedges or other suitable de-
vices.
204
IN AN EMERGENCY
The jack can only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provided
or on cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the
car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher than
those shown on the label. Snow chains cannot be fit-
ted to the space-saver wheel. Therefore, if a front
(drive) wheel is punctured and chains are required,
a rear wheel should be fitted at the front of the car
and the space-saver wheel should be fitted to the
rear. This way, with two normal front driving
wheels, you can install the snow chains on them,
thus resolving the emergency.If the hub cap is not installed properly, it may
detach when the vehicle is running. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Never intro-
duce tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Reg-
ularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pressure,
complying with the data in the chapter “6”.

climates, city driving, long periods of idling) or at least every 5 years.
(**) The actual interval for changing the oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the car usage conditions, it is signalled
by the warning light or message (if present) in the instrument panel and must never exceed 24 months.
If the car is mainly used in towns and cities, change the engine oil and filter every 12 months.

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.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer,
observe the following instructions:
❍when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate and
bonnet are closed properly, to prevent any light from
remaining on inside the passenger compartment;
❍turn off the internal roof lights, although the car does
have an automatic system for switching off internal
lights;
❍do not leave devices (e.g. car radio, hazard warning
lights, etc.) switched on for a long time when the en-
gine is not running;
❍before performing any operation on the electrical sys-
tem, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❍battery termi
nals should always be perfectly tightened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50% for
a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation, re-
ducing its capacity and efficiency at start-up.The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can
happen as early as –10°C). In case of prolonged idling, re-
fer to the “Car inactivity” paragraph, in chapter “3”.
If, after purchasing your car, you decide to install electri-
cal accessories which require a permanent electric power
supply (alarm, etc.) or accessories which have a serious
impact on the electrical balance, contact a Lancia Deal-
ership: their qualifi
ed personnel will suggest the most suit-
able Lancia Lineaccessori devices and assess the overall
electric consumption, checking whether the car’s electri-
cal system can cope or whether a more powerful battery
is required.
Since some of these devices continue to consume electric-
ity even when the engine is off, they gradually run down
the battery.
