INERTIAL FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
It is located next to the passenger’s door pillar, at the bottom (move
the covering aside to reach it) and it comes into operation in the case
of a crash by cutting off fuel and switching off the engine.
When the fuel cut-off switch is on, warning light è(if any) comes on
together with the message on the multifunction reconfigurable
display.
Carefully inspect the car to find fuel leaks, e.g. in the engine
compartment, under the car or near the tank.
If no fuel leaks are found and the car can be started again, press
button A to reset the fuel system and the lights.
After a crash, remember to turn the ignition key to STOP to prevent
battery run-down.
WARNINGIf, after an accident, you can smell petrol or see that the fuel feed system is leaking,
to avoid the risk of fire, do not reset the switch.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If, after buying the car, you decide to install
electrical accessories that require a permanent
electric supply (alarm, satellite antitheft system,
etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the
electric supply, contact Lancia Dealership, whose
qualified personnel, besides suggesting the most
suitable devices belonging to Lineaccessori Lancia,
will also evaluate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the vehicle electric system is able
to withstand the load required, or whether it needs
to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed after buying the
vehicle and in after-market shall bear the following
marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation of
transceivers, provided that installation is workmanlike
performed in compliance with Manufacturer’s
specifications at a specialised service centre.
IMPORTANT The installation of devices involving
modifications of vehicle characteristics may
determine the withdrawal of the driving licence by
the appointed public authorities and the forfeiture ofthe warranty as concerns defects/failures due to said
modification or leading directly or indirectly to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility due to
damages connected with the installation of
accessories/devices not supplied by or recommended
by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installed not in compliance
with the specified prescriptions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs mobile
phones, HAM radio systems and the like) shall not
be used inside the car unless a separate aerial is
mounted outside the car.
The use of these devices inside the passenger
compartment (without external aerial) may cause
electrical systems equipping the car to malfunction.
This could compromise car safety in addition to
constituting a potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be affected by the shielding effect of
the car body.
As concerns the use of mobile phones (GSM, GPRS,
UMTS) provided with official EC approval, strictly
comply with the instructions given by the mobile
phone manufacturer.

ENGINE STARTING
The car is fitted with an electronic engine lock
device. If the engine fails to start, see paragraph
“Lancia CODE system” in section “Dashboard and
controls”.
The engine may be noisier than usual during the
first seconds of operation, especially after it has not
been used for a while. This characteristic feature of
the hydraulic tappet system does not compromise
functionality or reliability. The system devised for
the Lancia Musa was designed to limit maintenance
interventions.STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒Ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒Put the gear lever into neutral;
❒Press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator;
❒Turn the ignition key to AVV and let it go the
moment the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
return the ignition key to STOP before repeating
starting.
If, when the ignition key is on MAR, warning light
Yremains lit together with warning light U, turn
the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the
warning light remains on, try with the other keys
provided with the car.

CORRECT
USE OF
THE CAR
We recommend that during the initial period you do not drive to full vehicle performance (e.g.:
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top speed, sharp braking, etc.).
When the engine is switched off never leave the ignition key in the MAR position to prevent
pointless current absorption from draining the battery.
WARNINGRunning the engine in confined areas is extremely dangerous. The engine consumes
oxygen and produces carbon monoxide which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.

PARKING
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the car is faced
uphill or reverse if it is faced downhill) and leave the wheels
steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a
steep slope. Avoid leaving the car parked with a wheel on the
sidewalk or steered against the kerb. Do not leave the ignition key at
MAR to prevent draining the battery. Always remove the key when
you leave the car.

HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between the two front seats.
Pull the handbrake lever upwards until the car cannot be moved.
Four or five clicks are generally enough when the car is on level ground while nine or ten may be required if
the car is on a steep slope or laden.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, contact Lancia Dealership to have the handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled up and the ignition key is at MAR the panel warning light xwill come on.
To release the handbrake:
❒slightly lift the handbrake and press release button A;
❒keep button (A) pressed in and lower the lever. Warning light xwill go out.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation to prevent the car from moving accidentally.
IMPORTANT If the handbrake lever tends to approach the end of stroke (slot on central console), contact
Lancia Dealership to have the handbrake adjusted.
WARNINGNever leave children unattended in the car. Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the car and take it out with you.

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to the body
by specialised personnel according to any additional
and/or integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current regulations
with reference to 94/20/EC Directive and
subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used must match
the towable weight of the vehicle on which it is to
be installed.
For the electric connection a unified connector
should be used which is generally placed on a
special bracket normally fastened to the towing
device, and a special ECU for external trailer light
control shall be installed on the car. For the electrical connection 7 or 13 pins 12VDC
connection is to be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow the instructions provided by the
car manufacturer and/or the tow hitch
manufacturer.
An electric brake should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a cross section of no
less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other device shall be
used with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the car’s
electric system can only be connected to the supply
cable for an electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light, though not above 15W.
For connections use a preset control unit with
battery cable no less than 2.5 mm
2.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be noted:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-
ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❒disconnect battery terminals (first disconnect the
negative terminal) and check the battery charge.
This check is to be repeated every three months
when the car is left inactive. Recharge if the
optical indicator shows a dark colour without the
central green area;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds readily available;❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper blades and
lift them off the glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic
as they do not allow moisture on the car body to
evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the normal
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery from the
electric system, check its charge every month
and recharge it if the optical indicator shows a
dark colour without the central green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.
