but will shift down into second and
first gear normally.
You can switch between DRIVE and
ERS mode at any vehicle speed. When
the shift lever is in the DRIVE posi-
tion, the transmission will operate au-
tomatically, shifting between all
available gears. Tapping the shift le-
ver to the left (-) will activate ERS
mode, display the current gear in theinstrument cluster, and maintain that
gear as the top available gear. Once in
ERS mode, tapping the shift lever to
the left (-) or right (+) will change the
top available gear.
To exit ERS mode, simply press and
hold the shift lever to the right (+)
until “D” is once again displayed in
the shift lever position indicator in the
instrument cluster.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional en-
gine braking on a slippery surface.
The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid,
causing an accident or personal in-
jury.

NOTE:
To select the proper gear position
for maximum deceleration (engine
braking), tap the shift lever to the
left (-) repeatedly as the vehicle
slows. The transmission will shift
to the range from which the vehicle
can best be slowed down. Overdrive Operation
The automatic transmission includes
an electronically controlled Overdrive
(sixth gear). The transmission will
automatically shift into the Overdrive
gear if the following conditions are
present:
 the shift lever is in the DRIVE po-
sition,
 the transmission fluid has reached an adequate temperature,
 the engine coolant has reached an adequate temperature,
 vehicle speed is sufficiently high, and  the driver is not heavily pressing
the accelerator
Torque Converter Clutch
A feature designed to improve fuel
economy has been included in the au-
tomatic transmission on your vehicle.
A clutch within the torque converter
engages automatically at calibrated
speeds. This may result in a slightly
different feeling or response during
normal operation in the upper gears.
When the vehicle speed drops or dur-
ing some accelerations, the clutch au-
tomatically disengages.

TOWING TIPS
Before setting out on a trip, practice
turning, stopping and backing the
trailer in an area away from heavy
traffic.
Automatic Transmission
The DRIVE gear can be selected when
towing. However, if frequent shifting
occurs while in DRIVE, select a lower
gear range using the Electronic Range
Select (ERS) shift control. NOTE:
Using a lower gear range while op-
erating the vehicle under heavy
operating conditions will improve
performance and extend transmis-
sion life by reducing excessive
shifting and heat build up. This
action will also provide better en-
gine braking.
The automatic transmission fluid and
filter should be changed if you REGU-
LARLY tow a trailer for more than
45 minutes of continuous operation.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
Electronic Speed Control (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
 Do not use in hilly terrain or with
heavy loads.
 When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater
than 16 km/h, disengage until you
can get back to cruising speed.
 Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel
efficiency.

Master Cylinder – Brake Fluid
Level Check
The fluid level in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing
underhood services, or immediately if
the “Brake System Warning Light”
indicates system failure.
Clean the top of the master cylinder
area before removing the cap. Add
fluid to bring the level up to the top of
the “FULL” mark on the side of the
master cylinder reservoir.
Overfilling of fluid is not recom-
mended because it may cause leaking
in the system.
Add enough fluid to bring the level up
to the requirements described on the
brake fluid reservoir. With disc
brakes, fluid level can be expected to
fall as the brake pads wear. However,
low fluid level may be caused by a
leak and a checkup may be needed.
Use only manufacturer's recom-
mended brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids,
Lubricants and Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.
WARNING!
 Use only manufacturer's recom-mended brake fluid. Refer to
“Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for further information. Us-
ing the wrong type of brake fluid
can severely damage your brake
system and/or impair its perfor-
mance. The proper type of brake
fluid for your vehicle is also iden-
tified on the original factory in-
stalled hydraulic master cylinder
reservoir.
 To avoid contamination from for-
eign matter or moisture, use only
new brake fluid or fluid that has
been in a tightly closed container.
Keep the master cylinder reservoir
cap secured at all times. Brake
fluid in a open container absorbs
moisture from the air resulting in
a lower boiling point. This may
cause it to boil unexpectedly dur-
ing hard or prolonged braking,
resulting in sudden brake failure.
This could result in a accident.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Overfilling the brake fluid reser-
voir can result in spilling brake
fluid on hot engine parts, causing
the brake fluid to catch fire. Brake
fluid can also damage painted and
vinyl surfaces, care should be
taken to avoid its contact with
these surfaces.
 Do not allow petroleum based
fluid to contaminate the brake
fluid. Brake seal components
could be damaged, causing partial
or complete brake failure. This
could result in an accident.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
The automatic transmission and dif-
ferential assembly are contained
within a single housing.
Selection Of Lubricant
It is important that the proper lubri-
cant is used in the transmission to
assure optimum transmission perfor-
mance. Use only the manufacturer's
recommended transmission fluid. Re-
fer to “Fluids, Lubricants and Genu-
ine Parts” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
299

hicle” for further information. It is
important that the transmission fluid
be maintained at the prescribed level
using the recommended fluid. No
chemical flushes should be used in
any transmission; only the approved
lubricant may be used.CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other
than the manufacturer's recom-
mended fluid may cause deteriora-
tion in transmission shift quality
and/or torque converter shudder.
Using a transmission fluid other
than the manufacturer's recom-
mended fluid will require more fre-
quent fluid and filter changes. Refer
to “Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.
Special Additives
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)
is an engineered product and its per-
formance may be impaired by supple-
mental additives. Therefore, do not
add any fluid additives to the trans-
mission. The only exception to this
policy is the use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks. In addition,
avoid using transmission sealers as
they may adversely affect seals.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
transmission as the chemicals can
damage your transmission compo-
nents. Such damage is not covered
by the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
Fluid Level Check
The six-speed automatic transmission
is a sealed unit and has no dipstick.
Routine fluid level checks are not re-
quired. However, if you notice fluid
leakage or transmission malfunction,
visit your authorized dealer immedi-
ately to have the fluid level checked.
Operation with an improper fluid
level can greatly reduce the life of
your transmission. Your dealer can
check the fluid level using a special
service dipstick.
Ask your dealer to check the trans-
mission fluid level whenever the ve-
hicle is serviced. Fluid And Filter Changes
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
If the transmission is disassembled for
any reason, the fluid and filter should
be changed.
CAUTION!
Car maintenance should be done at
a LANCIA Dealership. For routine
and minor maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, we do
recommend you have the proper
equipment, genuine LANCIA spare
parts and the necessary fluids; do
not however carry out these opera-
tions if you have no experience.
