WARNING!(Continued)
Do not attempt to push or towyour vehicle to get it started. Ve-
hicles equipped with an auto-
matic transmission cannot be
started this way. Unburned fuel
could enter the catalytic con-
verter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the
converter and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be
used to obtain a start from a
booster battery or the battery in
another vehicle. This type of start
can be dangerous if done improp-
erly. Refer to “Jump Starting” in
“What To Do In Emergencies” for
further information.
Clearing A Flooded Engine (Using
ENGINE START/STOP Button)
If the engine fails to start after you
have followed the “Normal Starting”
or “Extreme Cold Weather" proce-
dures, it may be flooded. To clear any
excess fuel:
1. Press and hold the brake pedal. 2. Press the accelerator pedal all the
way to the floor and hold it.
3. Press and release the ENGINE
START/STOP button once.
The starter motor will engage auto-
matically, run for 10 seconds, and
then disengage. Once this occurs, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and the
brake pedal, wait 10 to 15 seconds,
then repeat the “Normal Starting”
procedure.
AFTER STARTING
The idle speed is controlled automati-
cally and it will decrease as the engine
warms up.
NORMAL STARTING –
DIESEL ENGINE
Observe the following when the en-
gine is operating.
All message center lights are off.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
is off.
Low Oil Pressure Light is off. Cold Weather Precautions
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel fuel thickens due to the
formation of parrafin clots and could
clog the diesel filter. In order to avoid
these problems, different types of die-
sel fuel are distributed according to
the season: summer type, winter type
and arctic type (cold, mountainous
areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
outside temperature, it is advisable to
mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive
in the proportions shown on the con-
tainer with the fuel. Pour the additive
into the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for
a long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel. In this case, it
is also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.

load carrying capacity will not in-
crease the vehicle's GVWR and
GAWR limits.
Towing Requirements – Trailer
Brakes
–Do notinterconnect the hydraulic
brake system or vacuum system of
your vehicle with that of the trailer.
This could cause inadequate brak-
ing and possible personal injury.
– An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is required when
towing a trailer with electronically
actuated brakes. When towing a
trailer equipped with a hydraulic
surge actuated brake system, an
electronic brake controller is not
required.
– Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 454 kg and re-
quired for trailers in excess of
907 kg.CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than
454 kg loaded, it should have its
own brakes, and they should be of
adequate capacity. Failure to do
this could lead to accelerated brake
wear, higher brake pedal effort, and
longer stopping distances.
WARNING!
Do not connect trailer brakes toyour vehicle's hydraulic brake
lines. It can overload your brake
system and cause it to fail. You
might not have brakes when you
need them and could have an col-
lision.
Towing any trailer will increase your stopping distance. When
towing, you should allow for ad-
ditional space between your ve-
hicle and the vehicle in front of
you. Failure to do so could result
in a collision. Towing Requirements – Trailer
Lights And Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regard-
less of the trailer size, stoplights and
turn signals on the trailer are required
for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include
a 7-pin or a 13-pin wiring harness.
Use a factory approved trailer harness
and connector.
NOTE: Do not cut or splice wiring
into the vehicles wiring harness.
The electrical connections are all
complete to the vehicle but you must
mate the harness to a trailer connec-
tor.

TOWING TIPS
Before setting out on a trip, practice
turning, stopping, and backing up the
trailer in an area located away from
heavy traffic.
Automatic Transmission
The DRIVE range can be selected
when towing. The transmission con-
trols include a drive strategy to avoid frequent shifting when towing. How-
ever, if frequent shifting does occur
while in DRIVE, you can use the
AutoStick® shift control (for
versions/markets, where provided) to
manually select a lower gear.
NOTE: Using a lower gear while
operating the vehicle under heavy
loading conditions will improve
performance and extend transmis-
sion life by reducing excessive
shifting and heat buildup. This ac-
tion will also provide better engine
braking.
If you REGULARLY tow a trailer for
more than 45 minutes of continuous
operation, then change the automatic
transmission fluid and filter as speci-
fied for “police, taxi, fleet, or frequent
trailer towing" (five-speed transmis-
sion only). Refer to the “Maintenance
Schedule” for the proper maintenance
intervals.
Electronic Speed Control
Do not use in hilly terrain or with
heavy loads.

Your authorized dealer has touch
up paint to match the color of your
vehicle.
Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially
aluminum and chrome-plated wheels
should be cleaned regularly with a
mild soap and water to prevent corro-
sion. To remove heavy soil and/or ex-
cessive brake dust, use a nonabrasive,
non-acidic cleaner. Do not use scour-
ing pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or
metal polishes. Do not use oven
cleaner. Avoid automatic car washes
that use acidic solutions or harsh
brushes that may damage the wheels’
protective finish.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning
Procedure (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in
the following manner:
Remove as much of the stain as possible by blotting with a clean,
dry towel.
Blot any remaining stain with a clean, damp towel. For tough stains, apply a mild soap
solution to a clean, damp cloth and
remove the stain. Use a fresh, damp
towel to remove soap residue.
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other form of protectants on
Stain Repel products.
Interior Care
Interior trim should be cleaned start-
ing with a damp cloth. Do not use
harsh cleaners.
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of
dirt can act as an abrasive and dam-
age the leather upholstery and should
be removed promptly with a damp
cloth. Stubborn soils can be removed
easily with a soft cloth and appropri-
ate products. Care should be taken to
avoid soaking your leather upholstery
with any liquid. Please do not use
polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, sol-
vents, detergents, or ammonia-based
cleaners to clean your leather uphol-
stery. Application of a leather condi-
tioner is not required to maintain the
original condition.WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for
cleaning purposes. Many are poten-
tially flammable, and if used in
closed areas they may cause respi-
ratory harm.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights
that are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be fol-
lowed.
To minimize the possibility of scratch-
ing the lenses and reducing light out-
put, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild
soap solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning compo-
nents, solvents, steel wool or other
aggressive material to clean the
lenses.

under certain atmospheric condi-
tions. This will usually clear as at-
mospheric conditions change to
allow the condensation to change
back into a vapor. Turning the
lamps on will usually accelerate
the clearing process.
HIGH INTENSITY
DISCHARGE HEADLAMPS
(HID)
CAUTION!
Where possible, it is advisable to
have bulbs changed at a LANCIA
Dealership. Proper operation and
orientation of the external lights are
essential for driving safety and
complying with the law.
The headlamps are a type of high
voltage discharge tube. High voltage
can remain in the circuit even with the
headlamp switch off and the key re-
moved. Because of this, you should
not attempt to service a headlamp
bulb yourself. If a headlamp bulb
fails, take your vehicle to an au-
thorized dealer for service.
297

WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at
the bulb sockets of HID headlamps
when the headlamp switch is
turned ON. It may cause serious
electrical shock or electrocution if
not serviced properly. See your au-
thorized dealer for service.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped
with HID headlamps, when the
headlamps are turned on, there is
a blue hue to the lights. This di-
minishes and becomes more white
after approximately 10 seconds, as
the system charges.
