STARTING
THE ENGINE
The car is provided with an electronic
engine lock device: refer to “The Lan-
cia CODE system” paragraph in
“Dashboard and controls” if you can-
not start the engine. The engine may
be noisier during the first seconds of
operation, particularly after a long pe-
riod of inactivity. This does not impair
functionality and reliability and is
typical of hydraulic tappets: the dis-
tribution system selected for the petrol
engines of your car in order to limit
the maintenance required.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accel-
erator;
❒turn the ignition to AV Vand re-
lease the key as soon as the engine
starts.If the engine does not start at the first
attempt, return the ignition key to
STOPbefore repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is on MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
Yremains on together with the
warning light U, turn the key to
STOPand then back to MAR; if the
warning light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
Is is dangerous to let the en-
gine run in enclosed spaces.
The engine depletes the oxygen and
discharges carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
In the first period of use, we
recommend to avoid exces-
sive stress for the car (for in-
stance excessive accelera-
tions, extended travel at maximum
speed, sudden braking etc.).
With engine off, do not leave
the key in the ignition switch
on MAR to prevent draining
the battery.
If you still cannot start the engine,
perform emergency start (see “Emer-
gency start” in chapter “In an emer-
gency”) and then contact a Lancia
Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition
key to MARwhen the engine is off.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
MULTIJET VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR; the

PARKING THE CAR
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
❒when on a slope, engage a gear
(engage first gear if the car is
faced uphill or reverse if it is faced
downhill) and leave the wheels
steered.
When parking the car on a steep
slope, it is advisable to also place a
wedge or a rock under the wheels.
PROLONGED parking with a wheel
on the pavement or steered against a
step should be avoided. Do not leave
the ignition key on MARto prevent
draining the battery. Always remove
the key when you leave the car.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located be-
tween the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the
handbrake.
Four or five notches are normally suf-
ficient to lock the car on flat terrain,
while nine or ten may be necessary on
a steep slope with the car loaded. IMPORTANT If this is not the case,
contact a Lancia Dealership to have
the handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled
up and the ignition key is on MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
xwill turn on.
Proceed as follows to release the
handbrake:
❒slightly lift the handbrake and
press release button A-fig. 1;
❒keep button Apressed and lower
the lever. Warning light
xwill
turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying
out this operation to prevent the car
from moving accidentally.
IMPORTANT If the handbrake lever
tends to reach end of its stroke
(groove on the central console), con-
tact a Lancia Dealership to have the
handbrake adjusted.

Never leave children unat-
tended in the car. Always re-
move the ignition key when
leaving the car and take it
out with you.

Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably in-
creases as speed increases. Keep your
speed as even as possible, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration
which cause excessive fuel consump-
tion and increase emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very nega-
tive effect on consumptions and emis-
sions: accelerate gradually and do not
go over the maximum torque ratio.CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold
start-ups will prevent the engine from
reaching optimal running tempera-
ture. Consequently, both consumption
(from +15 to +30% on urban cycle )
and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when trav-
elling in a queue with frequent use of
low gears or in cities with many traf-
fic lights. Mountain and rough roads
also have a negative effect on con-
sumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be provided with a
type-approved tow hitch and ade-
quate electrical system to tow cara-
vans or trailers. Installation must be
performed by specialised personnel
who will issue the required papers for
travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
rear-view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtak-
ing takes longer depending on the
overall weight.
When driving downhill engage a low
gear, rather than constantly using the
brake.

The weight of the trailer on the car tow
hook reduces of the same value the load
capacity of the car. Consider the weight
of the car at full load, including acces-
sories and luggage to make sure you do
not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown on the log book).
Respect the speed limits specific for
each country for vehicles towing trail-
ers. In all cases, the top speed must
not exceed 100 km/h.
The ABS with which the car
is equipped will not control
the braking system of the trailer.
Take specific care when travelling on
slippery roads.
WARNING
Never modify the braking
system of the car to control
the trailer brake. The trailer brak-
ing system must be fully indepen-
dent from the hydraulic system of
the car.
WARNING
INSTALLING THE
TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or in-
tegrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current
regulations with reference to
94/20/EC Directive and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device
used must match the towable weight
of the car on which it is to be in-
stalled.
For the electric connection a unified
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing de-
vice, and a special ECU for external
trailer light control shall be installed
on the car. For the electrical connection, 7 or 13
pin 12VDC connection is to be used
(CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Stan-
dards). Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the car manufacturer and/or
the tow hitch manufacturer.
An electric brake should be supplied
directly by the battery through a ca-
ble with a cross section of no less than
2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other
device shall be used with running en-
gine.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the car’s electric system can only be
connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light, though not above 15W.
For connections use the preset control
unit with battery cable no less than
2.5 mm
2.

❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the car with a fabric or per-
forated plastic sheet. Do not use
compact plastic sheets that pre-
vent moisture on the car surface
from evaporating;❒inflate the tyres at a pressure of
+0.5 bar with respect to the nor-
mally specified pressure and check
it regularly;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery
from the electric system, check its
charge every month and recharge
it if the optical indicator shows a
dark colour without the central
green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling
system.
