warning Lancia Musa 2007 Owner handbook (in English)

AT THE FILLING STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fuel tank
filler is too small to introduce a lead petrol pump
filler. Use petrol with a rated octane number
(R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads to
harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air
pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amount or in an emergency, as this would damage
the catalyst beyond repair.
MULTIJET ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin and could
cause the malfunctioning of the fuel 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 refuelling with diesel fuel not
suitable for the current temperature, mix diesel fuel
with TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions stated on the can, putting first the
antifreeze in the tank and then the diesel fuel.
If driving or parking the vehicle for a long period in
cold areas/mountains, refuel with the diesel fuel
available at local filling stations.
In this situation you are also recommended to have
in the tank an amount of fuel 50% higher than
usable capacity.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of the fuel
delivery gun. Avoid further topping up operations
that could cause damages to the fuel system.

The car must only be filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in compliance with European
Standard EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with
invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused. In the event of accidentally filling with
another type of fuel, do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has been run even for
only a very short time, in addition to the tank, it is also necessary to drain out the whole fuel
circuit.

FUEL FILLER CAP
Fuel flap opening is interlocked to door locking/unlocking, hence, if
doors are locked, it is necessary to push on button (D).
The fuel filler cap (C) is fitted with an anti-loss device (B) which
fastens it to the flap (A) so it cannot be mislaid. To slacken the cap
(C), turn it anti-clockwise and remove it.
While refuelling, hook the plug to the device obtained inside the flap
as shown in the figure.
ATTENTION Tank airtight closure can cause a slight pressure. A
possible hiss while unscrewing the plug, is therefore absolutely
normal.
After refuelling, it is necessary to screw on the plug clockwise until
one or more clicks are felt, then turn the key clockwise, remove it and
close the flap.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel engine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for 1.3 Multijet 90 HP version)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines. The diesel particular filter has been adopted to
eliminate almost totally particulates in compliance with current / future law regulations. During normal use
of the vehicle, the engine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc.)
and it will then calculate how much particulates has been trapped by the filter. Since this filter physically
traps particulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles.
Reclaiming procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions
and the conditions of use of the vehicle. During reclaiming the following phenomena could take place: idling
slight increase, fan activation, slight smoke increase, high exhaust temperatures. These situations shall not be
considered as faults and they do not affect vehicle performance and environment. If the dedicated message
is displayed, refer to paragraph “Warning lights and messages”.

SEAT BELTS
USING THE FRONT AND
REAR SIDE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and rested against
the seat back.
To fasten the belt, take hold the tongue A and insert it into the buckle
B, until hearing the locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the
passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.
When the car is parked on a steep slope the reel mechanism may
block; this is normal. The reel mechanism prevents the webbing
coming out when it is jerked or if the car brakes sharply, in a collision
or when cornering at high speed.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat belts with three anchor points
and reel.
The rear belts shall be worn as shown in the figure.

WARNING

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts, the car is
fitted with pretensioners. These devices, in the event
of a violent crash, rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat
belt adheres perfectly to the wearer before the
restraining action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that the device has
intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guiding it manually.IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning
device, wear the seat belt keeping it firmly close to
the chest and pelvis.
A small amount of smoke may be produced. This
smoke is in no way toxic and presents no fire
hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or greasing.
Anything that modifies its original conditions
invalidates its efficiency.
If due to unusual natural events (floods, sea storm,
etc.) the device has been affected by water and
mud, it must necessarily be replaced.

DEVICES
Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of 6
hours) in the area around the pretensioners may cause damage or trigger them. These devices are
not affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as
kerbs, etc. Contact a Lancia Dealership for any assistance.
WARNING
The pretensioner can only be used once. After a collision that has triggered it,
have it replaced at a Lancia Dealership. Pretensioner validity is written on the
plate set on the upper oddment compartment on passenger side. Pretensioners
should be replaced at Lancia Dealership as this date approaches.

LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger’s safety, the front seat belt reels contain a load
limiter which allows controlled sag in such a way as to dose the force
acting on the chest and shoulders during the belt restraining action in
case of front crash.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and have the vehicle occupants follow)
all the local legal regulations concerning the use of seat belts. Always
fasten the seat belts before starting.
Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers: the risk of injury
in the case of accident is greatly reduced for them and the unborn
child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Of course they must position the lower part of the belt very low down
so that it passes under the abdomen (as illustrated in the figure).
