You should read it right through before taking to the road for the first time.
You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your car to help you derive the
maximum from the technological features of your LANCIA. You will discover its features and details, along with
essential information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your LANCIA.
Read the warnings and indications, marked with the following symbols:

SAFETY AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Safety and respect for the environment have been the guidelines which have inspired LANCIA Musa design from the
very start.
Thanks to this approach, LANCIA Musa has passed very stringent safety tests.
It is top in its class and is probably ahead of future models.
Furthermore, the continuous search for new, effective solutions for better environmental protection makes LANCIA
Musa a model to be imitated also from this point of view.
All versions are equipped with environmental protection devices which abate harmful exhaust gas emissions well
beyond the limits established by the laws in force.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The design and production methods of the LANCIA Musa have been developed with concern to the traditional
performance and safety aspects, taking into account the increasingly more urgent issues related to environmental
protection and conservation.
The chosen materials, techniques and devices are the result of a work which allows to drastically limit harmful effects
on the environmental and comply with the strictest international standards.

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.
