CLOSING
Proceed as follows:
❒keep the bonnet raised with one hand and
remove rod C fig. 67 from housing D with the
other, inverting the opening motion, then fit
it back into its catch;
❒lower the bonnet to approximately 20
centimetres from the engine compartment and
let it drop. Make sure that the bonnet is
completely closed and not only fastened by the
safety catch by trying to open it. If it is not
perfectly closed, do not try to press the bonnet
lid down but open it and repeat the procedure.
IMPORTANT Always check that the bonnet is
closed correctly to avoid it opening while the car is
travelling.

IMPORTANT NOTES
WARNING
Before opening the bonnet, make sure
that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the STOP position. Follow
the instructions on the dedicated label on the
front crossmember fig. 74. We recommend
that you remove the key from the ignition
if other people remain in the vehicle. Exit
from the car only after having removed the
ignition key or having rotated it to the STOP
position. During refuelling, make sure the
car has been stopped and the key is in STOP
position.
EOBD SYSTEMThe EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) carries out a continuous diagnosis of
the components of the car related to emissions. It
also alerts the driver about component
deterioration by switching on the warning light on
the instrument panel and the displaying of a
relevant message (for versions/markets, where
provided) (see the chapter “Warning lights and
messages”).
The aim of the EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions;
❒indicate the need to replace damaged
components.
The system also has a diagnosis connector that
can be interfaced to suitable instruments, to read
the error codes stored in the control unit together
with a series of specific parameters for engine
operation and diagnosis.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to
check the system completely, Lancia Dealerships
run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which
may also call for a long journey.
