VERY IMPORTANTREFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol
with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in
compliance with the European Standard EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the
above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to come on and the irregular
operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel
conforming to the European specification
EN590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; place
the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the clutch
pedal, without pressing the accelerator, then
turn the ignition key to the MAR position and
wait for the
and
warning lights to
switch off (diesel versions); turn the ignition key
to the AVV position and release it as soon as
the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the components related
to emissions to ensure increased respect for
the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), contact a Lancia
Dealership. They can calculate the overall
electrical requirement and check that the car's
electric system can support the required load.
CODE card(for versions/markets, where provided)
Keep it in a safe place, not in the car. Make sure
you have the electronic code written on the
CODE card with you at all times.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for
ensuring that it maintains its performance and its
safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER MANUAL CONTAINS…
... important information, advice and warnings
for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of
your car over time. Special attention must be

be travelled with the present amount of fuel in
the tank. The message “----” will appear on the
display in the following cases:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒car parked with engine running for a long
period.
IMPORTANT The range value variation can be
affected by several factors: driving style, type
of route (motorway, towns and cities, mountain
roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pressures,
etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the above
into account.
Distance travelled
Shows the distance covered since the start of the
new journey.
Average consumption

since the start of the new journey.Instantaneous consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is

THE LANCIA CODE SYSTEMTo further protect your car from theft, it has been
fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is
automatically activated when the ignition key
is removed.
Each key contains an electronic device which
modulates the signal emitted during ignition by an
antenna built into the ignition device. The signal
is the "password", different every time the car
is started, through which the control unit
recognises the key and enables starting.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning the ignition
key to MAR, the Lancia CODE system control
unit sends an acknowledgement code to the engine
control unit to deactivate the immobilizer. The
code is sent only if the control unit of the Lancia
CODE system has acknowledged the code received
from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the
Lancia CODE system deactivates the functions
of the engine management control unit. If, during
starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the
warning light switches on in the instrument
panel. In this case, turn the key to STOP and then
to MAR; if it is still locked, try again with the
other keys that come with the vehicle. Contact a
Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.Warning light
switching on while driving
If the
warning light switches on, this means
that the system is running a self-diagnosis (for
example for a voltage drop). If the problem
persists, contact a Lancia Dealership.

column locked. Some electrical devices (e.g.
sound system, central door locking system, etc.)
can operate;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are
enabled;
❒AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety system
that requires the ignition key to be turned back to
STOP if the engine does not start, before the
starting operation can be repeated.
