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.

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).

FUEL CUT OFF
SWITCH
The switch is located on the bottom of
the car, near the pillar on passenger
side. Move the carpet aside to reach
the switch. It is tipped by a crash and
cuts off the fuel feed, thus stopping
the engine.
When the device is activated the
warning light
èturns on together
with the relevant message on the re-
configurable multifunctional display
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided).
Inspect the car carefully for fuel leak-
ages (e.g. in the engine compart-
ment), under the car or near the fuel
tank.
If, after a crash, you smell
fuel or see leaks from the
fuel system, do not reset the switch
to avoid fine risk.

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.)

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

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.
