unscrew the screws A (fig. 90)and re-
move the protective grille.
IMPORTANTIf the sound system
has only two full-range speakers, use
the compartments in the doors. The
compartments in the dashboard
should only be used for the tweeters.
The rear speakers must be housed in
the compartments made in the side
panel trim (fig. 91). The protective

The sound system is installed in the
compartment normally occupied by
the object compartment, which can be
removed by pressing the two retain-

You will find the power wires and
the wires connecting to the dashboard

Contact a LANCIA Deal-
ership if you want to in-
stall a sound system after
purchasing your car. Their staff
will advise you on how to safe-
guard the life of the battery. Ex-
cessive idle intake can damage the
battery and invalid the battery
warranty as well.
STANDARD EQUIPMENT
All versions are fitted with the fol-
lowing:
– sound system power supply cables;Go to a LANCIA Dealer-
ship to have the aerial wire
installed.

Here is some advice for driving in
the rain:
– Reduce speed and maintain a
greater safety distance from the cars
in front.
– If it is raining particularly heavily,
visibility is also reduced. In these
cases, switch on the dipped headlights
even if it is still daylight so you can be
seen more easily.
– Do not drive through puddles at
speed and hold on tightly to the
wheel: a puddle taken at high speed
might cause you to lose control of the
car (“aquaplaning”).
– Move the ventilation controls to
the position for demisting the win-
dows (see the section “Getting to
know your car”), to avoid visibility
problems.
– Periodically check the condition of
the windscreen wiper blades.DRIVING IN FOG
– If the fog is thick, do not start out
on a journey unless you absolutely
have to.
If driving in mist, blanket fog or
when there is the danger of fog
patches:
– Keep your speed down.
– Turn on the dipped headlights,
rear foglights and front foglights, if
fitted, even during the day. Do not
drive with your headlights at full-
beam.
– Remember that fog also means the
tarmac is wet and therefore manoeu-
vres of all kinds are more difficult and
stopping distances are longer.
– Keep a good distance from the cars
in front of you.
– As far as possible, avoid spurts of
speed or sudden deceleration.
– Do not overtake other vehicles if
you can help it.– If you are forced to stop your car
(breakdown, limited visibility etc.)
try to stop off the road. Turn on the
hazard lights and, if possible, the
dipped headlights. Rhythmically
sound the horn if you realise another
car is coming.
IMPORTANTOn stretches of road
with good visibility, switch off your
rear foglights; the brightness of these
lights could annoy the people travel-
ling in the cars behind.

DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS
– When driving downhill use the en-
gine braking effect by engaging a low
gear so as not to overheat the brakes.
– Under no circumstances should
you drive downhill with the engine off
or with the car in neutral, let alone
with the ignition key out.
– Drive at a moderate speed without
cutting corners.
– Remember that overtaking while
going uphill is slower and therefore re-
quires more free road. If you are being
overtaken while driving uphill, make
it easier for the other vehicle to pass.DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE
Here are some tips for driving in
these conditions.
– Before starting off, check that the
windscreen wiper blades are not stuck
to the windscreen.
– Remove any snow from the climate
control system air intake.
– Keep your speed down.
– Use chains or snow tyres if the
roads are covered in snow, see the re-
spective paragraphs in this chapter.
– Do not keep the engine running for
long periods in deep snow as the snow
could push exhaust gases into the pas-
senger compartment.– Mainly use the braking effect of
the engine and under all circum-
stances avoid braking sharply.
– When braking in a car not fitted
with ABS, avoid the wheels locking by
varying the pressure you exert on the
brake pedal.
– Do not accelerate suddenly and
avoid swerving.
– In the winter, even apparently dry
roads may have icy patches. Be care-
ful therefore when driving over
stretches that do not get much expo-
sure to the sun or that are lined by
trees and rocks, where ice might not
have melted.
– Keep a good distance from the ve-
hicles in front.

DRIVING WITH ABS
The car can be fitted with a wheel
anti-locking system (ABS) and with
electronic brake correction (EBD) sys-
tem.
ABS is a braking system that essen-
tially offers two advantages:
1)It prevents wheel locking and
consequent skidding in emergency
stops, particularly when the road does
not offer much grip.
2)It makes it possible to brake and
steer at the same time so you can
avoid unexpected obstacles and direct
the car where you want while brak-
ing. The extent to which this can be
done will depend on the physical lim-
its of the tyre’s total grip.To get the most out of ABS:
– During emergency stops or when
grip conditions are poor, you will feel
a slight pulsation on the brake pedal.
This is the sign that the ABS is work-
ing. Do not release the brake pedal
but continue to press so as not to in-
terrupt the braking action.
– ABS prevents the wheels from
locking, but it does not increase ac-
tual grip conditions between tyre and
road. Therefore, even if your car is fit-
ted with ABS, respect the safety dis-
tance from the car in front of you and
keep your speed down when driving
into bends.
ABS serves to increase the controlla-
bility of the car, not to enable you to
go faster.If warning light >
switches on when the en-
gine is running, this usu-
ally indicates an ABS fault. In such
cases the braking system is still ef-
ficient, although the anti-locking
device does not function. The EBD
system may also be less efficient.
Go to a LANCIA Dealership imme-
diately, taking care not to brake
suddenly, and have the system
checked.
The car is fitted with an
electronic brake corrector
(EBD). If warning lights >
andxlight up simultaneously
when the engine is running, this
indicates an EBD fault. This
means that violent braking could
cause early locking of the rear
wheels causing the car to skid.
Drive the car extremely carefully
to the nearest LANCIA Dealership
to have the system checked.

The ABS system with
which the car may be fitted
does not control the brak-
ing system of a trailer. Special care
must therefore be taken on slip-
pery surfaces.
Under no circumstances
modify the car’s braking
system for trailer braking
control. The trailer’s braking sys-
tem must be completely indepen-
dent of the car’s hydraulic system.The weight the trailer exerts on the
car’s tow hitch coupling reduces the
car’s carrying capacity by the same
amount.
In order to be sure you are not ex-
ceeding the maximum towing weight
(given on the car’s registration pa-
pers), you have to take into account
the trailer’s weight fully laden in-
cluding the accessories and personal
luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits for
towing a trailer in the country you are
driving in. In any case, do not exceed
the top speed of 100 km/h.SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains is regulated
by the legislation in force in the coun-
try the car is driven in.
The chains may only be applied to
the drive wheel tyres (front wheels).
Use only low profile chains (maxi-
mum height off the tyre: 12 mm).
Check the tautness of the chains af-
ter driving some twenty to thirty me-
tres.
IMPORTANTAs the spare wheel is
small (space-saver), it is not possible
to fit snow chains to it. If a front tyre
is punctured, first exchange a rear
wheel with the spare tyre and then
change the flat tyre with the rear wheel
thus removed. This way there will be
two ordinary wheels at the front and
the snow chains can be fitted.
Remember that the wheels should
always be exchanged on the same side
of the vehicle; never change wheels
over from one side of the car to the
other.

USEFUL
ACCESSORIES
In addition to the legal requirements
we recommend keeping the following
in the car (fig. 4):
– first-aid kit with non-alcoholic
base disinfectant, sterile gauze, a roll
of gauze bandage, plasters, etc.,
– fire extinguisher,
– all-purpose round-nose scissors,
– work gloves.

IMPORTANTThe use of cellular
phones, CB transmitters or other sim-
ilar devices inside the passenger com-
partment (without an aerial) produces
RF electromagnetic fields which, am-
plified by the resonance effects inside
the passenger compartment may
cause electrical systems equipping the
vehicle (engine control unit,
ABS/EBD control unit etc.) to mal-
function. This could compromise ve-
hicle safety as well as constituting a
potential hazard for the occupants.
The transmission and reception effi-
ciency of this equipment may also be
affected by the shielding effect of the
car’s body.The parts described and illustrated
are available from Lineaccessori
LANCIA.
