4)Fold the seat back forwards to
make a flat loading surface with the
boot floor (fig. 78).
If necessary, the cushion can also be
tilted(fig. 79). Consequently, before
releasing the seat back, lift the cush-
ion as shown and tip it against the
front seat backs; the rear seat back-
rest can then be released and tilted
forwards.
To return the seat to its normal po-
sition:
1)Return the seat back to the verti-
cal position and make sure it is prop-
erly locked into place; the red strip on
the hook-up button must disappear.

Removing the parcel shelf
If you wish to remove the parcel
shelf to extend the boot capacity, un-
hook the two tie-rods (one each side)
A (fig. 75)from the hooks B, then
pull the parcel shelf outwards so that
pinsCcome out.
The shelf can then be positioned be-
hind the front seats.INCREASING THE LOAD AREA
Proceed as follows:
1)Make sure that the side seat belts
A (fig. 76)have been inserted into the
corresponding bracket B.
2)Remove the rear head restraints
if required.
3)Release the seat back by pressing
buttonA (fig. 77)(one for each side)
located on the back seat back-rest
(even when a split back seat is fitted);
a red strip will appear on the short
side of the button (towards the inside
of the car) to indicate that it has been
released.

Heavy loads which are
not securely anchored
could seriously injure pas-
sengers in the event of an accident.

The maximum speed of
snow tyres with a “Q” in-
dication must never ex-
ceed 160 km/h and in any case
must always observe the regula-
tions of the Highway Code.Therefore they should only be used
for the purpose for which they have
been homologated (“Q” indicates that
the tyre is designed for a speed of less
than 160 km/h).
IMPORTANTWhen using snow
tyres with a maximum speed index
that is less than the capacity of the car
(increased by 5%), place in the pas-
senger compartment, well in sight, a
warning that indicates the maximum
speed permitted by the snow tyres (in
accordance with the EC Directive).
Fit four identical tyres (same make
and tread) on the wheels to ensure
safety when driving and when brak-
ing as well as easy handling.
Do not reverse the direction of rota-
tion of the tyres.STORING THE CAR
Do the following if the car is not to
be used for more than a month:
– Park the car in covered, dry and if
possible well-ventilated premises.
– Engage a gear.
– Remove the cables from the bat-
tery terminals (first remove the cable
to the negative terminal) and check
the battery charge. This check should
be carried out once every three
months while the car is in storage.
Recharge the battery if the no-load
voltage is less than 12.5V.
– Make sure the handbrake is not
engaged.
– Clean and protect the painted
parts using protective wax.

If, after purchasing the vehicle you
want to install electrical accessories
that require a permanent power sup-
ply (alarm, free-hand phone, radio
navigator with satellite anti theft sys-
tem, etc.) go to a LANCIA Dealer-
ship. The qualified staff are able to
suggest the most suitable Lineacces-
sori devices and will assess the over-
all electric absorption, checking
whether the car can sustain the re-
quired load or if an oversized battery
is required.
Remember that these accessories
continue to absorb electrical power
even when the ignition key is removed
(car parked, engine off) and could
discharge the battery.The overall absorption of these ac-
cessories (standard and after-sale in-
stallations) must be less than 0.6 mA
x Ah (of the battery) as shown in the
table below:ELECTRONIC
CONTROL UNITS
When the car is being used nor-
mally, special measures are not nec-
essary.
The following instructions must be
followed very carefully, however, if
you work on the electrical system or
in cases where emergency starting is
necessary:
– Never disconnect the battery from
the electrical system while the engine
is running.
– Disconnect the battery from the
electrical system if you are recharging
it. Modern battery chargers can sup-
ply up to 20 volts.
– Never perform emergency starts
with a battery charger. Always use an
auxiliary battery.
– Be particularly careful when con-
necting the battery to the electrical sys-
tem. Ensure the battery posts are con-
nected up to the right leads (the polar-
ity is correct) and check that the con-
nection has been made properly. When Remember also that high current in-
take devices such as bottle heater,
vacuum cleaner, cellular phone, re-
frigerator etc., if powered while the
engine is off will accelerate the bat-
tery discharge.
IMPORTANTIf you need to install
additional systems on the car, im-
proper wiring connections, in partic-
ular if they affect safety devices, are
dangerous.
