vehicle and trailer. Failure to load
trailers heavier in front is the cause of
many trailer accidents.
Never exceed the maximum trailer
tongue weight stamped on your trailer
hitch.
Consider the following items when
computing the weight on the rear axle
of the vehicle:
 The tongue weight of the trailer.
 The weight of any other type ofcargo or equipment put in or on
your vehicle.
 The weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE:
Remember that everything put into
or on the trailer adds to the load on
your vehicle. Also, additional
factory-installed options, or
dealer-installed options, must be
considered as part of the total load
on your vehicle. Refer to the Tire
and Loading Information placard,
located on the drivers door pillar, for the maximum combined weight
of occupants and cargo for your
vehicle.
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of your
new vehicle drivetrain components
the following guidelines are recom-
mended:
CAUTION!
 Do not tow a trailer at all during
the first 805 km the new vehicle is
driven. The engine, axle or other
parts could be damaged.
 Then, during the first 805 km that
a trailer is towed, do not drive
over 80 km/h and do not make
starts at full throttle. This helps
the engine and other parts of the
vehicle wear in at the heavier
loads.WARNING!
Improper towing can lead to an in-
jury accident. Follow these guide-
lines to make your trailer towing as
safe as possible:
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Make certain that the load is se-
cured in the trailer and will not
shift during travel. When traile-
ring cargo that is not fully se-
cured, dynamic load shifts can oc-
cur that may be difficult for the
driver to control. You could lose
control of your vehicle and have
an accident.
 All trailer hitches should be pro-
fessionally installed on your ve-
hicle.
 When hauling cargo or towing a
trailer, do not overload your ve-
hicle or trailer. Overloading can
cause a loss of control, poor per-
formance or damage to brakes,
axle, engine, transmission, steer-
ing, suspension, chassis structure
or tires.
 Safety chains must always be used
between your vehicle and trailer.
Always connect the chains to the
frame or hook retainers of the ve-
hicle hitch. Cross the chains under
the trailer tongue and allow
enough slack for turning corners.
(Continued)
262

WARNING!(Continued)
 Vehicles with trailers should not
be parked on a grade. When park-
ing, apply the parking brake on
the tow vehicle. Put the tow ve-
hicle automatic transmission in
PARK. Always block or "chock"
the trailer wheels.
 GCWR must not be exceeded.
 Total weight must be distrib-
uted between the tow vehicle
and the trailer such that the
following four ratings are not
exceeded:
1. GVWR
2. GTW
3. GAWR
4. Trailer tongue weight rating for
the trailer hitch utilized.
Towing Requirements – Tires
 Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
 Proper tire inflation pressures are essential for the safe and satisfac-
tory operation of your vehicle. Re-
fer to “Tires – General Informa-
tion” in “Starting and Operating”
for proper tire inflation procedures.  Check the trailer tires for proper
tire inflation pressures before
trailer usage.
 Check for signs of tire wear or vis- ible tire damage before towing a
trailer. Refer to “Tires – General
Information” in “Starting and Op-
erating” for the proper inspection
procedure.
 When replacing tires, refer to “Tires – General Information” in “Start-
ing and Operating” for proper tire
replacement procedures. Replacing
tires with a higher load carrying
capacity will not increase the vehi-
cle'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.
 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 450 kg and re-
quired for trailers in excess of
750 kg.
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than
450 kg loaded, it should have its
own brakes and they should be of
adequate capacity. Failure to do this
could lead to accelerated brake lin-
ing wear, higher brake pedal effort,
and longer stopping distances.WARNING!
 Do not connect trailer brakes to
your 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 ac-
cident.
 Towing any trailer will increase
your stopping distance. When
towing you should allow for addi-
tional space between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
Failure to do so could result in an
accident.

Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights
that are lightweight and less suscep-
tible 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.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned
on a regular basis with any commer-
cial household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window equipped with electric
defrosters or the right rear quarter
window equipped with the radio an-tenna. Do not use scrapers or other
sharp instruments that may scratch
the elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument
Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments
in this vehicle are molded in clear
plastic. When cleaning the lenses,
care must be taken to avoid scratch-
ing the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild
soap solution may be used, but do not
use high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean
with a clean damp rag.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the seat
belts with chemical solvents or abra-
sive cleaners. This will weaken the
fabric. Sun damage can also weaken
the fabric.
If the seat belts need cleaning, use a
mild soap solution or lukewarm wa-
ter. Do not remove the belts from the
car to wash them.
Replace the seat belts if they appear
frayed or worn, or if the buckles do
not work properly.
CLEANING THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
CUPHOLDERS
Removal
Pull the flexible liner from the cup-
holder drawer starting at one edge to
ease removal.
Cleaning
The liner is top shelf dishwasher safe,
or you may follow the cleaning proce-
dure below.
Soak the liner in a mixture of medium
hot tap water and one teaspoon of
mild liquid dish soap. Let soak for
approximately 30 minutes. After
30 minutes, pull the liner from the
water and dip it back into the water
about six times. This will loosen any
remaining debris. Rinse the liner thor-
oughly under warm running water.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEALING
WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE
END OF ITS LIFE
LANCIA has been committed for
many years to safeguarding the envi-
ronment through the constant im-
provement of its production processes
and manufacturing products that are
increasingly “eco-compatible”.
To give customers the best possible
service in terms of respecting environ-
mental laws and in response to Euro-
pean Directive 2000/53/EC govern-
ing vehicles at the end of their life,
LANCIA is offering its customers the
opportunity of handing over their ve-
hicle* at the end of its life without
incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that
when the vehicle is handed over thelast keeper or owner should not incur
any expenses as a result of it having a
zero or negative market value.
In all European Union countries, until
1st January 2007, only vehicles regis-
tered after 1st July 2002 were col-
lected free of charge, while since 2007
collection has been free of charge irre-
spective of the year of registration as
long as the vehicle contains its basic
components (in particular, the engine
and bodywork) and has no additional
waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end
of its life without extra cost, go to one
of our Dealerships or LANCIA-
authorized collection and scrapping
centres.
These centres have been carefully
chosen to offer high quality service forthe collection, treatment and recy-
cling of unused vehicles with respect
to the environment.
You can find further information on
these collection and scrapping centres
either from a LANCIA or LANCIA
Commercial Vehicle Dealership or by
calling the freephone number 00800
526242 00 or by going on the
LANCIA website.
