2007 Lancia Musa technical specifications

FAILURE WARNINGS
Any electric power steering failure is indicated by
cluster warning light gcoming on (together, with
the message on the multifunction display - see the
“Warning lights” chapter).
In the event of electric power steering failure, the
car can be driven with mechanical steering to the
closest Lancia Dealership.IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff
following parking manoeuvres including a great
deal of steering. This is normal and caused by the
system to prevent motor overheating. No servicing is
required. The electrical power steering system will
return to normal operation the next time the car is
used.

WARNING
Always switch the engine off, remove the key from the starting device and actuate
the steering lock before carrying out any maintenance operation, especially when
the wheels are raised from the ground. In case this is not possible (e.g. when the
key must be in MAR position or the engine running), remove the electric power
steering main fuse before carrying out any maintenance operation.

PARKING SENSORS (where provided)
The parking sensors are located on the rear bumper and their function is
to inform the driver, through an intermittent buzzer, about the presence
of obstacles in the rear part of the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse gear is
engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind the car decreases, the
acoustic alarm becomes more frequent.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the reduction of distance between the car and
the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the
obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops if the distance raises;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried. If this situation takes place
for side sensors, the signal is stopped after about 3 seconds to
prevent sound indications when performing manoeuvres near
walls.
Direction distances
The central detecting range varies according to car engine type/set-up
version: detection range is 140 cm. For small size obstacles (or in case
of parking deterrent blocks that are round shaped) it is 70 cm. Side
detecting range is 60 cm.
If several obstacles are detected, the control unit indicates the nearest
one.

OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The system is preset for deactivating automatically
when the trailer electric cable plug is fitted into the
car tow hook socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing the trailer
cable plug.GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care to obstacles
set above or under the sensors.
❒Objects set close to car rear part, under certain
circumstances are not detected and could
therefore cause damages to the car.
❒Indications sent by the sensor can be altered by
dirt, snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by
ultrasound systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic
brakes or pneumatic hammers) set nearby the
car.

AND

For proper operation, the parking sensors set on the bumpers shall be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. When cleaning the sensors, take the utmost care to prevent their damaging; do not use
therefore dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be washed with clean water and car detergent, if
required. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing
nozzles at 10 cm at least from the sensors.
WARNING
Parking manoeuvres however are always under the driver’s responsibility that
shall always check the absence of people, animals or objects in the manoeuvre
space. This system is just a help for the driver but he shall never reduce
important during dangerous manoeuvres even if performed at low speed.

AT THE FILLING STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fuel tank
filler is too small to introduce a lead petrol pump
filler. Use petrol with a rated octane number
(R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads to
harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air
pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amount or in an emergency, as this would damage
the catalyst beyond repair.
MULTIJET ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin and could
cause the malfunctioning of the fuel system.In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type (cold,
mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not
suitable for the current temperature, mix diesel fuel
with TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions stated on the can, putting first the
antifreeze in the tank and then the diesel fuel.
If driving or parking the vehicle for a long period in
cold areas/mountains, refuel with the diesel fuel
available at local filling stations.
In this situation you are also recommended to have
in the tank an amount of fuel 50% higher than
usable capacity.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of the fuel
delivery gun. Avoid further topping up operations
that could cause damages to the fuel system.

The car must only be filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in compliance with European
Standard EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with
invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused. In the event of accidentally filling with
another type of fuel, do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has been run even for
only a very short time, in addition to the tank, it is also necessary to drain out the whole fuel
circuit.

FUEL FILLER CAP
Fuel flap opening is interlocked to door locking/unlocking, hence, if
doors are locked, it is necessary to push on button (D).
The fuel filler cap (C) is fitted with an anti-loss device (B) which
fastens it to the flap (A) so it cannot be mislaid. To slacken the cap
(C), turn it anti-clockwise and remove it.
While refuelling, hook the plug to the device obtained inside the flap
as shown in the figure.
ATTENTION Tank airtight closure can cause a slight pressure. A
possible hiss while unscrewing the plug, is therefore absolutely
normal.
After refuelling, it is necessary to screw on the plug clockwise until
one or more clicks are felt, then turn the key clockwise, remove it and
close the flap.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel engine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for 1.3 Multijet 90 HP version)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines. The diesel particular filter has been adopted to
eliminate almost totally particulates in compliance with current / future law regulations. During normal use
of the vehicle, the engine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc.)
and it will then calculate how much particulates has been trapped by the filter. Since this filter physically
traps particulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles.
Reclaiming procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions
and the conditions of use of the vehicle. During reclaiming the following phenomena could take place: idling
slight increase, fan activation, slight smoke increase, high exhaust temperatures. These situations shall not be
considered as faults and they do not affect vehicle performance and environment. If the dedicated message
is displayed, refer to paragraph “Warning lights and messages”.

SEAT BELTS
USING THE FRONT AND
REAR SIDE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and rested against
the seat back.
To fasten the belt, take hold the tongue A and insert it into the buckle
B, until hearing the locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the
passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.
When the car is parked on a steep slope the reel mechanism may
block; this is normal. The reel mechanism prevents the webbing
coming out when it is jerked or if the car brakes sharply, in a collision
or when cornering at high speed.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat belts with three anchor points
and reel.
The rear belts shall be worn as shown in the figure.
