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.

WITH A SHOP JACK
Front end
The car may only be raised by plac-
ing the jack arm under the transaxle,
with a block of wood or rubber as il-
lustrated in (fig. 38).IF THE CAR NEEDS
TO BE RAISED
WITH THE JACK
See “If a tyre is punctured”, in this
section.
The jack should only be
used to change a wheel on
the vehicle with which it is
supplied or on vehicles of the same
model. All other uses, for example
raising other vehicles, must be ex-
cluded. Under no circumstances
use the jack to carry out repairs
under the vehicle.
If the jack is not used
correctly, the raised vehi-
cle may fall. Do not use the
jack to lift weights above that in-
dicated on the label attached to the
jack itself.
It must be remembered that:
– the jack does not require adjust-
ments;
– the jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks, it must be changed with an-
other new jack;
– only the jack handle described in
the chapter “If a tyre is punctured”
can be fitted onto the jack.
