USE OF ENVIRONMENTAL-FRIENDLY MATERIALS
All components of the LANCIA Musa are asbestos-free. Padding and the climate control system are free from CFC
(chlorofluorocarbon), the gases deemed responsible for the destruction of the ozone layer. Paint and bolt corrosion
protections are cadmium-free and safe for the air and water.
EMISSION REDUCTION DEVICES (petrol engines)
Three-way catalytic converter
The exhaust system is equipped with a catalyser made of noble metal alloys. It is accommodated in a stainless steel
container which can withstand high operating temperatures.
The catalyser converts unburnt hydrocarbons, carbon oxide and nitrogen oxides contained in exhaust gases (the
harmful gas content in exhaust is also limited by the electronic injection and ignition system), turning them into non-
polluting compounds.
Due to the high temperature reached during operation of the catalytic converter, it is advisable not to park the car over
flammable materials (paper, oil, dry grass, dry leaves, etc.).
Lambda sensors
The lambda sensors detect the oxygen content in exhaust gases. The signal transmitted by the lambda sensors is used
by the injection and ignition system electronic control unit to adjust the air-fuel mixture.
Anti-evaporation system
It is impossible to prevent the formation of petrol vapours, even when the engine is off. For this reason, a system has
been developed with traps the vapours in a special activate carbon canister.
The vapours are sucked in and burnt in the engine during operation.

EMISSION REDUCTION DEVICES (Multijet engines)
Oxidising catalytic converter
The device converts the polluting substances contained in exhaust gases (carbon oxide, unburnt hydrocarbons and
particulate) into harmless substances, reducing the smokiness and the typical smell of diesel engines.
The catalytic converter consists of a stainless steel metallic casing which contains a wasp nest ceramic body on which
the noble metal used for the catalysing action is applied.
Exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.)
This device recirculates (i.e. reuses) part of the exhaust gases. The percentages depends on the conditions of use of the
engine.
It is used to control nitrogen oxide emissions, when needed.

VERY IMPORTANT
REFUELLING
Petrol engines:refuel with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of 95 or higher only.
Multijet engines:only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse
of warranty in relation to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines:make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress
the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AV Vand release it as soon as the
engine has started.
Multijet engines:Turn the ignition key to MARand wait for the warning lights Yemto go out; turn
the ignition key AV Vand release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire risk.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with
emissions to ensure better respect for the environment.

ELECTRIC ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electric accessories (that will gradually drain the battery),
visit a Lancia Dealership. They can calculate the overall electric requirement and check that the car’s
electric system can support the required load.
CODE card
Keep the card in a safe place, non in the car. Have the electronic code printed on the CODE card with you
at all times. You will need it to start the engine in an emergency.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its
safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER’S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... important information, advise and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your car
in time. Pay special attention to the symbols "(personal safety) #(environmental protection) â(car
integrity).
Refer to the “Warning lights and messages” chapter in this handbook if the message “see Handbook”
appears on the display.

SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been at-

components of your car. These labels
bear symbols that remind you of the
precautions to be taken as regards
that particular component.
The plate summarising the symbols
used can be found under the bonnet

THE LANCIA CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
from attempted theft of the car. It is
automatically activated when the ig-
nition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic de-
vice which modulates the signal emit-
ted during ignition by an antenna in-
corporated in the ignition device. This
signal is the ‘password’ which changes
at each ignition and which the control
unit uses to recognise the key and al-
low ignition.

Warning light
Ycoming on
when driving
❒If the warning light Yturns on,
this means that the system is run-
ning a self-test (for example for a
voltage drop).
❒If the fault persists, contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started turning
the ignition key to MAR, the Lancia
CODE system control unit sends a
recognition code to the engine control
unit to activate the functions. The
code is sent only if the Lancia CODE
system control unit has recognised the
code transmitted from the key. Each
time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Lancia CODE system de-
activates the functions of the engine
electronic control unit.
If the code has not been recognised
correctly, the warning light
Yturns
on on the display.The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is submitted
to sharp knocks.
In this case, turn the key to STOP
and then back to MAR; try with the
other keys provided if the problem
persists. Contact a Lancia Dealership
if you still cannot start the engine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own
code which must be stored by the sys-
tem electronic control unit. Contact a
Fiat Dealership to have new keys (up
to eight) stored.

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electric de-
vices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) may
work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electric
devices may work.
❒AV V: engine starting (unstable po-
sition).
The ignition switch is fitted with a
safety system that, in the event the en-
gine is not started, turns back the ig-
nition key to STOPbefore repeating
the starting operation.
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of alarm) be carried
out that could badly affect perfor-
mance and safety. This also causes
the warranty to become null and
void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.
WARNING
fig. 19L0D0021m
If the ignition device is
tampered with (e.g.: at-
tempted theft), have it checked over
by a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Always remove the key
when you leave your car to
prevent someone from accidentally
operating the controls. Remember
to apply the handbrake. Engage
first gear if the car is parked up-
hill or reverse if the car is parked
downhill. Never leave children un-
attended in the car.
WARNING
STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is in position STOP, re-
move the key and turn the steering
wheel until it is locked.
Switching off
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.
Never extract the key while
the vehicle is moving. The
steering wheel would be locked as
soon as the steering wheel is turned.
This also applies to when the car is
towed.

INSTRUMENTS
SPEEDOMETER Fig. 20
This indicates the vehicle speed.
REV COUNTER Fig. 21
This indicates the engine revolution
per minute.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the
flow of fuel when the engine is ‘over-
revving’ resulting in a gradual loss of
engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may indicate a gradual or
sudden increase of the speed.
This is normal and does not indicate
a fault. It may be caused, for exam-
ple, by the operation of the climate
control system or fan. In these case, a
slow change in engine speed is used to
protect the battery charge.The reserve warning light Aturns on
to indicate that approximately
6 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the tank nearly
empty: lack of fuel supply could dam-
age the catalyser. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE Fig. 22
The instrument shows the litres of fuel
contained in the tank (see the “Refu-
elling” paragraph for a description).
