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.

ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY
THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to
install electrical accessories that re-
quire a permanent electric supply
(alarm, satellite antitheft system, etc.)
or accessories that in any case burden
the electric supply, contact Lancia
Dealership, whose qualified person-
nel, besides suggesting the most suit-
able devices belonging to Lineacces-
sori Lancia, will also evaluate the
overall electric consumption, check-
ing whether the car’s electric system
is able to withstand the load required,
or whether it needs to be integrated
with a more powerful battery.
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICE INSTALLATION
Electric and electronic devices in-
stalled after buying the car by after-
market service must carry the follow-
ing label: MOBILE PHONE SETUP
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The mobile phone setup with CD or
CD MP3 sound system consists of:
❒a dual function aerial (sound sys-
tem + phone phone 900/1800
MHz) located on the roof;
❒connection cables to the dual func-
tion sound system and wiring with
10 pin connector.
The connector is located between the
steering column and the central unit.
The hands-free kit must be
purchased by the customer
because it must be compat-
ible with the customer’s
mobile phone. It is advisable to in-
stall the microphone near the front
ceiling light.
The maximum applicable
power to the aerial is 20W.
WARNING
For installing the mobile
phone and connecting to
system setup in the car, contact
Lancia Dealership to prevent any
trouble that could impair car
safety.
WARNING
Be very careful when fit-
ting non-standard addi-
tional spoilers, light alloy wheels
or wheel cups: they could reduce
brake ventilation and consequently
brake efficiency in the case of re-
peated, violent braking or on long
downhill roads. Make sure that
nothing obstructs the pedal stroke
(mats, etc.)

DASHBOARD
AND
CONTROLS
The car can be driven using the me-
chanical steering in case of failure to
the electric power steering system.
Take the car to a Lancia Dealership
as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT The steering may be-
fore stiffer when parking requiring a
lot of steering. This is normal and
caused by the electric control motor
overheating system. No repairs are
needed. The power steering system
will start working properly again the
next time the car is used. PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper and their function is to in-
form the driver, through an intermit-
tent buzzer, about the presence of ob-
stacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically acti-
vated when the reverse gear is en-
gaged. As the distance from the ob-
stacle behind the car decreases, the
acoustic alarm becomes more fre-
quent.

Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety. This also
causes the warranty to become null
and void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Electric power steering failure is indi-
cated by the turning on of warning
light
gon the instrument panel to-
gether with the dedicated message on
the multifunctional display (where
provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
Before starting any main-
tenance operation, stop the
engine and remove the key from the
ignition switch to operate the steer-
ing lock, particularly when the car
is lifted off the ground. If this is
not possible (i.e. if the key must be
kept in the MAR position or the en-
gine must be kept running), remove
the main electric power steering
system fuse.

IF THE BATTERY
IS FLAT
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is provided as an example
only. You are recommended to go to a
Lancia Dealership to have this oper-
ation performed.
Low amperage slow recharging for
approximately 24 hour is advised. A
long charge could damage the battery.
Proceed as follows to charge the bat-
tery:
❒disconnect battery negative termi-
nal;
❒connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the
poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting the
battery;
❒reconnect battery negative termi-
nal.IMPORTANT If the car is equipped
with an alarm system, disarm the
alarm system by means of the remote
control (see “Alarm” paragraph in
“Dashboard and controls”).
LIFTING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Lan-
cia Dealership which is equipped with
the arm hoist or workshop lift.
Lift the car exclusively by positioning
the jack arms or the shop jack in the
points shown in the figure.
Battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with your skin and eyes. The
battery recharging operation must
be performed in a ventilated placed
away from naked flames o possi-
ble sources of sparks to avoid the
risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Never attempt to recharge
a frozen battery: defrost it
first to prevent the risk of explo-
sion. If a battery was frozen, have
it inspected by specialised person-
nel before recharging to check that
the internal elements are not dam-
aged and that the casing is not
cracked causing the risk of leakage
of poisonous, corrosive gas.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
Running the battery with
an excessively low liquid
level will damage the battery be-
yond repair and even cause an ex-
plosion.
WARNING
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a
genuine spare part having the same
specifications.
If a battery with different specifica-
tions is fitted, the service intervals
given in the “Service schedule” in this
section will no longer apply.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s in-
structions for maintenance.Batteries contain very dan-
gerous substances for the
environment. You are rec-
ommended to go to a Lan-
cia Dealership to have the battery
replaced where the old battery will
be disposed of respecting both the
environment and the laws in force.Incorrect assembly of elec-
tric and electronic devices
may cause severe damage
to your car. Go to a Lancia
Dealership if you want to install ac-
cessories (alarms, mobile phone,
etc.): they will suggest the most suit-
able devices and advise you if a
higher capacity battery needs to be
installed.USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and
lengthen its life, observe the following
indications:
❒when the car is parked, make sure
that the doors, bonnet and tailgate
are closed properly to make sure
that the lights inside the passenger
compartment go out;
❒switch off all lights inside the vehi-
cle: the car is however equipped
with a system which switches all in-
ternal lights off automatically;
❒do not keep devices (e.g. sound sys-
tem, hazard lights, etc.) on for a
long time with the engine off;
❒before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
battery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be
perfectly tightened.
If the car is left for long
periods in very cold envi-
ronments, remove the battery and
store it in a warm place to prevent
freezing.
WARNING
Always wear the proper
protective eyewear when
working on the battery or near it.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
IMPORTANT A battery which is kept
at a charge of less than 50% (optical
indicator with dark colour without
green area in the middle) for any
length of time will be damaged by sul-
phation leading to a reduction in
cranking power.
The battery will also be more at risk
of freezing (e.g. already at -10°C).
In case of prolonged halt, refer to the
“Storing the car” paragraph in the
“Starting and driving” chapter.
If after buying the car, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm,
etc.) contact Lancia Dealership whose
qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices
from Lineaccessori Lancia, will eval-
uate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric
system is capable of withstanding the
load required, or whether it should be
integrated with a more powerful bat-
tery.
Since these devices continue absorb-
ing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the
battery.WHEELS AND
TYRES
Check the pressure of each type, in-
cluding the spare, approximately once
every two weeks and before starting a
long journey: this check must be per-
formed with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to increase
when the car is used. For the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels”
in “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wearfig. 15:
A: normal pressure: evenly worn
tread.
B: low pressure: tread particularly
worn on the edges.
C: excessive pressure: tread particu-
larly worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all
cases, follow the laws in force in the
country where you are driving.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning
starts and violent knocks against
the curb, potholes or other obsta-
cles if possible. Long distances on
rough roads may damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on
the sides, swelling or irregular tread
wear. Go to a Lancia Dealership if
required.
❒Do not overload your vehicle: this
may cause serious damage to
wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the ve-
hicle immediately and charge it to
avoid damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
