If the mirror makes it dif-
ficult to get through nar-
row gaps, fold it from po-
sition 1 to position 2 (fig. 15).
When driving the mirrors
should always be in ex-
tended position 1.
The external curved rear
view mirrors slightly alter
the perception of distance.

For emergency starts use only an
auxiliary battery.
If the engine begins to “loose its
smoothness” when travelling, con-
tinue your journey but reduce the de-
mands you are making on the engine
and have the car seen to at a LANCIA
Dealershipas soon as you can.
When the instrument panel fuel re-
serve warning light comes on, fill up
as soon as possible. A low level of fuel
can cause an uneven supply of fuel to
the engine with the inevitable increase
in the temperature of the exhaust gas
and serious damage to the catalytic
converter.
Never run the engine with one or
more spark plugs disconnected, even
for testing purposes.
Do not warm up the engine by let-
ting it idle for a while before moving
off unless the outside temperature is
very low and, even in this case, only
do so for less than thirty seconds.When functioning nor-
mally the catalytic con-
verter reaches high tem-
peratures. For this reason do not
park the car over inflammable
material (grass, dry leaves, pine
needles etc.): fire hazard.
Failure to heed these pre-
cautions could cause a
fire.
Do not install other heat shields and
do not remove those already fitted to
the catalytic converter and exhaust
pipe.
Do not allow anything to be sprayed
onto the catalytic converter, Lambda
sensor and exhaust pipe.TOWING A TRAILER
IMPORTANTThe car must be fit-
ted with a homologated tow hitch and
suitable electrical system for towing a
caravan or trailer.
Have the tow hitch fitted by an ex-
pert who will issue specific documen-
tation for use on roads.
Fit special and/or additional
rearview mirrors in accordance with
the highway code.
Remember that towing a trailer
makes it harder for the car to climb
the maximum gradients specified.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill rather than constantly brak-
ing.
