The weight of the trailer on the car’s
tow hitch will reduce the loading ca-
pacity of the car by the same amount.
Consider the weight of the car at full
load, including accessories 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 may be equipped will
not control the braking system of
the trailer. Particular caution is
required 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 electric 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 mm2,5.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other
device shall be used with running en-
gine.
In addition to the electric 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

SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the
normal tyres provided with the car.
Lancia Dealership will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyre for the customer’s
requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, infla-
tion pressures and the specifications
of snow tyres, follow the instructions
given in paragraph “Wheels” in sec-
tion “Technical specifications”.
The performance of these tyres is con-
siderably reduced when the tread
depth is less than 4 mm. Replace
them in this case.Due to their specific features, the per-
formance of snow tyres is much lower
than that of normal types in normal
conditions or long motorway
stretches. Limit performance accord-
ing the use for which they were ap-
proved.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are
used with a max speed index below
the one that can be reached by the car
(increased by 5%), place a notice in
the passenger’s compartment, plainly
in the driver’s view which states the
max permissible speed of the snow
tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same
(brand and track) to ensure greater
safety when driving and braking and
better driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of
tyres.The top speed of a “T”
type snow tyre is 190
km/h. Respect the highway code in
all cases.

SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in com-
pliance with local regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only
onto the front wheel tyres (drive
wheels). Use of Lineaccessori Lancia
snow chains is recommended.
Check the tension of the chains after
the first few metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be
fitted on the space saver wheel. In
case of puncture to a front tyre, re-
place a rear wheel using the space
saver spare and fit the normal size
wheel on the front axle. In this way,
you can fit snow chains on the two
front wheels.
The tyres which are suitable for fitting snow chains and the type
of chain which can be used are shown in the table above. Follow
indications carefully.
Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not
exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and
also avoid driving long distances on roads not covered with
snow in order to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
Tyres suitable for fitting Chain typesnow chains to be used
185/65 R14 86T
195/60 R15 88T
Chains cannot be fitted on
205/50 R16 87V tyres.
WARNING
Normal size snow chains
with maximum protrusion beyond tyre
profile equal to 12 mm.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light ¬does not turn on or if it stays on
when travelling (together with the
message on the multifunctional
display, where provided) there
could be a failure in safety sys-
tems; in this event air bags or pre-
tensioners may not be deployed in
case of impact or, in a minor num-
ber of cases, they be deployed ac-
cidentally. Contact Lancia Dealer-
ship immediately to have the sys-
tem checked.
Failure of warning light
¬is indicated by warning
light“which will blink for longer
than the normal 4 seconds indicat-
ing that the front passenger airbag
is off. The airbag system will au-
tomatically deactivate the passen-
ger airbag (front and side, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided). In
this case, warning light
¬may not
indicate fault to the system. Con-
tact Lancia Dealership immedi-
ately to have the system checked.
WARNING
WARNING
HOT ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after
a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the
engine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on, proceed
as follows:
❒during normal travel: stop the
car, stop the engine and check that
the water level in the vessel is not
under the MINline. In this case,
wait for a few minutes for the en-
gine to cool down when slowly and
carefully open the cap, top-up with
coolant and check that the level is
between the MINandMAXrefer-
ences on the vessel itself. Also check
for leakages. Go to a Lancia Deal-
ership if the warning should come
on when the engine is started again.
u
❒In the case of demanding use
(e.g. towing trailers uphill or car at
full load): slow down and stop the
car if the warning light stays on.
Stand for 2 or 3 minutes with the
engine running and slightly acceler-
ated to promote a better circulation
of coolant. Then stop the engine.
Check correct liquid level as de-
scribed above.
IMPORTANT After taxing operation,
it is advisable to keep the engine on
and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
LOW BATTERY
CHARGE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go out as
soon as the engine is started (with the
engine running at idle speed a brief
delay in going out is allowed). Go to
a Lancia Dealership immediately if
the warning light stays on.

FLASHING LIGHT:
EXHAUSTED ENGINE OIL
(only Multijet versions
with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR (ON), the warning light switches
on and should go out as soon as the
engine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays
on constantly (for versions/markets,
where provided) along with the mes-
sage on the display when the system
detects that engine oil pressure is low.
v
2. Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions
with DPF)
The warning light will flash and
a specific message will appear on the
display (for versions/markets, where
provided). The warning light may
flash in the following ways, depend-
ing on the version:
– for 1 minute every two hours;
– for 3 minute cycles with the warn-
ing light off for intervals of 5 seconds
until oil is changed.
After the initial warning, each time
the engine is started up, the warning
light will continue to flash in the
above mentioned modes, until the oil
is changed. A specific message will
appear on the display (for versions/
markets, where provided) in addition
to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does
not mean that the car is defective but
simply informs the driver that it is
now necessary to change the oil as
a result of regular vehicle use.
If the warning light v
turns on when the vehicle
is travelling (on certain versions
together with the message on the
display) stop the engine immedi-
ately and contact a Lancia Deal-
ership.
WARNING
Note that engine oil is exhausted faster
under the following circumstances:
– use of the vehicle prevalently for city
driving, requiring more frequent re-
generation of DPF
– use of the vehicle for short drives, in
which the engine does not have time
to reach its regular operating temper-
ature
– repeated interruption of the regen-
eration process, signalled by the DPF
warning light coming on.
WARNING
Exhausted engine oil should
be replaced as soon as pos-
sible after the warning light comes
on, never more than 500 km after
the warning light first comes on.
Failure to change the oil within the
first 500 km may result in severe
damage to the engine and will re-
sult in forfeiture of the warranty.
Remember that when the warning
light flashes, it does not mean that
the level of engine oil is low, so if
the light flashes you must not top
up.
