IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. sound system, power
windows, etc.) work regularly.
❒MAR: driving position. All electri-
cal devices work regularly.
❒AV V: engine starting (unstable po-
sition).
The ignition switch is fitted with an
electronic safety system that turns the
ignition key back to position STOPif
the engine will not start, before re-
peating the starting operation.
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket works
be carried out, because they may
cause tampering with the driving
system or steering column (e.g. in-
stallation of anti-theft device),
which may lead to reduced system
performances and loss of the war-
ranty as well as safety-specific
problems and non-compliance
with the car type-approval.
WARNING
fig. 21L0D0021m
If the ignition system is
tampered with (e.g. after
an attempted theft), address a
Lancia Dealership to have the sys-
tem checked before starting off.
WARNING
Always remove the key
from the car when leaving
it in order to prevent accidental en-
gagement of the controls. Remem-
ber to engage the handbrake. En-
gage first gear if the car is parked
uphill or reverse if the car is
parked downhill. Never leave chil-
dren unattended in the car.

ABS SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an ABS braking
system, which prevents the wheels
from locking when braking, makes
the most of road grip and gives the
best control when emergency braking
under difficult road conditions.
The system is completed by EBD
(Electronic Braking Force Distribu-
tion), which distributes the braking
action between front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To achieve maximum
efficiency of the braking system, a
running in period of about 500 km is
required: during this time, avoid sud-
den, repeated and prolonged braking.SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by
a slight pulsing of the brake pedal ac-
companied by noise: such an event in-
dicates that you need to adjust your
speed to the type of road on which
you are travelling.
When the ABS intervenes it means
that you are approaching the grip
limit between tyres and road: slow
down to exploit all the available grip.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
It is indicated by the turning on of
warning light >on the instrument
panel together with the message
(where provided) shown on the re-
configurable multifunctional display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In the case, the braking system will
work as normal without the extra po-
tentials offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.When the ABS intervenes
it means that you are ap-
proaching the grip limit between
tyres and road: it is necessary to
slow down to adjust the speed ac-
cording to available grip.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre
road grip to the full, but it
cannot improve it; you should
therefore exercise great caution
when driving on slippery surfaces
without taking unnecessary risks.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuous
diagnosis of the components of the car
correlated with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on
the warning light
Uon the instru-
ment panel (together with relevant
message on the multifunction display,
where provided) (see section “Warn-
ing lights and messages”), when these
components are no longer in peak
conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency un-
der control;
❒to warn when a fault causes emis-
sion levels to increase;
❒to signal the need to replace worn
components. EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turn-
ing on warning lights >andxon
the instrument panel, together with
the message (where provided) shown
on the multifunctional display (see
section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may sud-
denly lock and the car may swerve.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.
When the ABS intervenes,
a slight pulsing of the
brake pedal is felt. Do not lessen
the pressure of your foot on the
pedal; maintain pressure on the
brake without hesitation; this will
ensure that you stop in the shortest
possible space allowed by the road
conditions.
WARNING
If the warning lightxon
the instrument panel goes
on (and a message, were provided,
is shown in the multifunctional
display), stop the car immediately
and contact your nearest Lancia
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic
fluid from the braking system will
compromise functionality of the
braking system, either of the con-
ventional type or with ABS.

ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY
THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to
install electrical accessories that re-
quire a permanent electric supply
(sound system, satellite antitheft sys-
tem, etc.) or accessories that in any
case burden the electric supply, con-
tact a Lancia Dealership, whose qual-
ified personnel, besides suggesting the
most suitable devices belonging to
Lineaccessori Lancia, will also evalu-
ate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric
system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be in-
tegrated with a more powerful bat-
tery. SET-UP FOR MOBILE PHONE
(where provided)
The combined mobile phone and CD
or CD MP3 sound system set-up con-
sists of:
❒dual function antenna (sound sys-
tem + mobile telephone 900/1800
MHz), located on the roof of the
car;
❒connecting wires to the dual func-
tion antenna and wiring with 10-
way connector.
The connector is located between the
steering column and the central box.
The Customer is responsi-
ble for the purchasing of the
hands-free kit as it must be
compatible with his/her
own mobile phone. It is advisable to
install the microphone near to the
front light.
The maximum power ap-
plicable to the antenna is
20W.
WARNING
For the installation of the
mobile phone and its con-
nection to the set-up existing in the
car, contact a Lancia Dealership so
as to provide for any possible
problems that could damage the
safety of the car.
WARNING
Be very careful when fit-
ting non-standard addi-
tional spoilers, light alloy wheels
or wheel caps: they could reduce
brake ventilation and consequently
brake efficiency in the case of re-
peated, violent braking or on long
downhill roads. Ensure that noth-
ing (e.g. rubber mats) obstructs the
stroke of the pedals.

CAR REFUELLING
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the
fuel filler is too small to introduce the
beak of a leaded petrol pump. The
petrol octane rating (RON) must not
be 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 amounts or in an emer-
gency, as this would damage the cat-
alyst beyond repair. GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost
care to avoid obstacles that may
be located above or below the
sensors.
❒Objects located near the rear of
the car, under certain circum-
stances are not detected and could
therefore cause damage to the car
or be damaged.
❒Indications sent by the sensors
can be altered by dirt, snow or ice
deposited on the sensors or by ul-
trasound systems (e.g.: truck
pneumatic brakes or pneumatic
hammers) nearby the car. To guarantee the effective
operation of the system, the
sensors must be kept clean
at all times. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the sensors
while cleaning them. Avoid using
dry, rough or hard cloths. Clean the
sensors with clean water with the
addition of car shampoo if neces-
sary. At car wash centres that use
steam or high pressure water jets,
clean the sensors quickly keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away.
The driver is, however, al-
ways held responsible for
parking and other dangerous ma-
noeuvres. When carrying out this
manoeuvre, ensure that there are
no people, animals or object within
the manoeuvring area. Parking
sensors are designed to assist dri-
vers: in all cases, you must always
pay the utmost attention during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres.
