SAFETY
Side bags are not a replacement of but
complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always wear,
as specified by law in Europe and
most non-European countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of side
crash, you can obtain the best protec-
tion by the system keeping a correct
position on the seat, allowing thus a
correct window bag unfolding.
IMPORTANT The front air bags
and/or side bags may be deployed if
the car is subject to heavy knocks or
accidents involving the underbody
area, such as for example violent
shocks, against steps, kerbs or low ob-
stacles, falling of the car in big holes
or sags in the road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust
will be released when the airbags are
deployed. The dust is not harmful and
does not indicate the beginning of a
fire. Furthermore, the surface of the
deployed bag and the interior of the
car may be covered in a dusty residue:
this dust may irritate the skin and the
eyes. Wash with mild soap and water
in the event of exposure.The airbag system expires after 14
years (charge) and 10 years (clock
contact). Go to a Lancia Dealership to
have the devices replaced when the
expiration date approaches.
IMPORTANT Should an accident oc-
cur in which any of the safety devices
is activated, take the car to a Lancia
Dealership to have the devices acti-
vated replaced and to have the system
checked.
All inspection, repair and replacement
operations concerning the air bags
must only be carried out at a Lancia
Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped,
have the air bag system deactivated at
a Lancia Dealership first. If the car
changes ownership, the new owner
must be informed of the method of
use of air bags and the above warn-
ings and also be given this “Owner’s
Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front
airbags and front side bags are de-
ployed according to different logics on
the basic of the type of collision. Non
deployment of one of the devices does
not therefore indicate a system fault.
Do not rest your head,
arms or elbows on the door,
on the windows and in the window
bag area to prevent injury in case of
deployment.
Never lean head, arms and elbows
out of the window.
WARNING
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, for versions/markets,
where provided) there could be a
failure in safety systems; in this
event air bags or pretensioners
may not be deployed in case of im-
pact or, in a minor number of
cases, they be deployed acciden-
tally. Contact Lancia Dealership
immediately to have the system
checked.
Do not cover the backrest of the
front seats with covers which are
not suitable for use with side bags.

SAFETY
Always drive holding your
hands on the steering
wheel rim so that the airbag can
inflate freely in the case of need.
Do not drive with your body bent
forward. Keep your back straight
against the back rest. Have the
airbag system checked by a Lan-
cia Dealership if the car was
stolen, if theft was attempted, or if
the car was subjected to vandalism
or flooding.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying ob-
jects in your lap, in front
of your chest or between your lips
(pipe, pencils, etc.): they could
cause severe injury if the airbag is
deployed.
WARNING
The airbag deployment
threshold is higher than
that of the pretensioners. For col-
lisions in the range between the
two thresholds, it is normal for
only the pretensioners to be acti-
vated.
WARNING
When the key is turned to
MAR warning light
“(with passenger front airbag acti-
vated) will blink for a few seconds
to remind you that the airbag will
be deployed in the event of a colli-
sion after which it should go out.
WARNING
Do not wash the seats
with pressurised water or
steam (by hand or in automatic
seat washing stations).
WARNING
An airbag is not a replace-
ment for the seat belts but
increases their efficiency. Further-
more, since front airbags are not
deployed in low speed collisions,
side collisions, rear-end shunts or
roll-overs, the occupants are only
protected by the seat belts which
must be fastened at all times.
WARNING
Do not attach rigid objects
to the coat hooks and sup-
port handles.
WARNING
Airbags may be deployed
if another vehicle crashes
if the key is inserted and at MAR
also if the engine is not running
and the car is stationary. For this
reason, children must never sit on
the front seat, even if the car is not
moving. On the other hand, if the
key is inserted and at STOP, none
of the safety devices (airbag or
pretensioners) will be deployed in
a collision. Non deployment of the
devices in this case does not indi-
cate a system fault.

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 is characteris-
tic of hydraulic tappets, the timing
system chosen for petrol engine ver-
sions to reduce the number of servic-
ing interventions and does effects nei-
ther functionality nor reliability.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒apply the handbrake;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒press the clutch pedal all the way
down without touching the accel-
erator;
❒turn the ignition key to AV Vand
let it go the moment the engine
starts.If the engine does not start at the first
attempt, return the ignition key to
STOPbefore repeating the attempt to
start the engine. If with the key at
MARthe instrument panel warning
lightYstays on with warning lightU, turn the key back to STOPand
then back to MAR; if the warning
light stays on, try with the other keys
provided.
It is dangerous to run the
engine in closed environ-
ments. The engine consumes oxy-
gen and engine exhaust contains
carbon dioxide, carbon oxide and
other toxic gasses.
WARNING
It is advisable not to de-
mand maximum perfor-
mance from your car (e.g.
excessive accelerations,
long distances at top rpm, excessive
intense braking, etc.) as soon as the
engine is started.
Do not leave the key in the
ignition switch in the MAR
position with the engine off
to avoid unnecessary con-
sumption of electricity which could
drain the battery.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you
still cannot start the engine.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition
key to MARwhen the engine is off.
PROCEDURE FOR
MULTIJET VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒apply the handbrake;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR;

pen faster when the engine is
warm;
❒press the clutch pedal all the way
down without touching the accel-
erator;
❒turn the ignition key to AV Vas
soon as the warning light
mturns
off. Waiting too long will waste the
work done by the glow plugs. Re-
lease the key as soon as the engine
starts.
IMPORTANT With the engine cold,
the accelerator must be entirely re-
leased when turning the ignition key
to position AV V.
If the engine does not start at the first
attempt, return the ignition key to
STOP before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
Yremains lit, turn the key to STOP
and then back to MAR; if the warn-
ing lights remain on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you
still cannot start the engine.HOW TO WARM UP THE
ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST
STARTED (petrol and Multijet
engines)
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine
turn at medium speed. Accelerate
smoothly;
❒do not demand maximum perfor-
mance for the first few kilometres.
Wait until the engine coolant gauge
starts moving.Warning light
mwill
blink for 60 seconds after
starting or during pro-
longed cranking to indicate
a fault to the glow plug heating sys-
tem. Use the car normally if the en-
gine starts and go to a Lancia Deal-
ership as soon as possible.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOPwhile the en-
gine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive,
you should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by let-
ting it idle to allow the temperature in
the engine compartment to fall.
Never jump start the engine
by pushing, towing or dri-
ving downhill. This could
cause a flow of fuel into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.
A quick burst on the accel-
erator before turning off the
engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose, it wastes
fuel and is damaging especially to
turbocharged engines.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition
key to MARwhen the engine is off.

PARKING THE
VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒Stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
❒Engage a gear (on a slope, engage
first gear if the vehicle is faced up-
hill or reverse if it is faced down-
hill) and leave the wheels steered.
If the car is parked on a steep slope,
it is further advisable to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone. Avoid
parking for a long time with one
wheel on the pavement or steered
against the curb. Do not leave the key
in the ignition switch at MARto pre-
vent draining the battery. Always re-
move 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 Lancia Dealership to have the
handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled
up and the ignition key is at 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;
❒hold the button Apressed and
lower the lever; the warning light
xon the instrument panel will go
out.
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 stroke (groove
on the central tunnel), go to a Lancia
dealership to have the handbrake ad-
justed correctly.

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-

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.

(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.
