GEAR USE
To engage the gears, press down the
clutch and put the gear lever into one
of the positions shown in the diagram
(fig. 2)(the diagram is also on the
gear lever knob).To engage reverse (R), wait for the
car to come to a standstill. From neu-
tral, lift the sliding ring A (fig. 2) un-
der the knob and shift the lever to the
right and backwards at the same
time.
IMPORTANTThe reverse gear can
only be engaged when the car is sta-
tionary. With the engine running wait
for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
fully down before engaging the re-
verse gear to avoid grating the gears
and damaging them.

To change gear properly
you must push the clutch
pedal fully down. It is
therefore essential that there is
nothing under the pedals: make
sure mats are lying flat and do not
get in the way of the pedals.
Do not drive with your
hand resting on the gear
lever. Although the force
you exert by doing this is very
slight, it will, in the long run, wear
out the components inside the
gearbox.

8)The warning lamp will flash
rapidly for about 4 seconds to indicate
that the operation has been completed
correctly.
9)Start the engine by turning the ig-
nition key from MARtoAVV(with-
out turning it to STOP).
If, however, the warning lamp
remains lit, turn the ignition key
toSTOPand repeat the procedure
from step 1.
IMPORTANTAfter an emergency
start, you should contact a LANCIA
Dealershipimmediately, otherwise
you will have to repeat the procedure
described each time you want to start
the engine.JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, you can use an-
other battery to start the engine. Its
capacity must be the same or slightly
greater than the flat battery (see the
section “Technical Specifications”).
Do the following, (fig. 1):
1)Lift the protective cover on the
positive pole, then connect the posi-
tive terminals (+) of the two batteries
AandBwith a jump lead, which is
usually red.2)With a second lead (usually
black), connect the negative terminal
C(–) of the auxiliary battery to an
earth point Don the engine or
gearbox of the car to be started.
IMPORTANTDo not connect the
black lead to the negative pole of the
flat battery; any sparks could set the
gas coming out of the battery on fire.
If the other battery is fitted in a vehi-
cle, prevent accidental contacts be-
tween the metal parts of the two ve-
hicles.
3)Start the engine.
4)When the engine has
started, remove the leads in
the reverse order to before:
D,C,Band finally A.
If the engine fails to start after a few
attempts, do not keep turning the key
but have the car seen to at a LANCIA
Dealership.
