These operating conditions are obtained pressing in
sequence the air recirculation button C.
After a preset time, the climate control system will
turn air recirculation off automatically for safety
reasons, thus enabling outside air inlet.IMPORTANT The air recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required heating or
cooling conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold
days as it would considerably increase the
possibility of the windows misting inside, especially
if the climate control system is off.
When the outside temperature is below 5-7°C, air
recirculation is switched off (air is taken from the
outside) to prevent misting.
WARNINGIt is inadvisable to use the air recirculation feature with low outside temperature
as the windows might mist over quickly.

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.
PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts, the car is
fitted with pretensioners. These devices, in the event
of a violent crash, rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat
belt adheres perfectly to the wearer before the
restraining action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that the device has
intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guiding it manually.IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning
device, wear the seat belt keeping it firmly close to
the chest and pelvis.
A small amount of smoke may be produced. This
smoke is in no way toxic and presents no fire
hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or greasing.
Anything that modifies its original conditions
invalidates its efficiency.
If due to unusual natural events (floods, sea storm,
etc.) the device has been affected by water and
mud, it must necessarily be replaced.

DEVICES
Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of 6
hours) in the area around the pretensioners may cause damage or trigger them. These devices are
not affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as
kerbs, etc. Contact a Lancia Dealership for any assistance.
WARNING
The pretensioner can only be used once. After a collision that has triggered it,
have it replaced at a Lancia Dealership. Pretensioner validity is written on the
plate set on the upper oddment compartment on passenger side. Pretensioners
should be replaced at Lancia Dealership as this date approaches.
If you are still unable to start the engine, perform
the emergency start-up procedure (see “Emergency
start-up” in section “In an emergency”) and contact
Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key at MAR
when the engine is off.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR MULTIJET
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒Ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒Put the gear lever into neutral;
❒Turn the ignition key to MAR: the warning lights
m,UandYwill light up on the instrument
panel;
❒Wait for the warning lights
Yandm. The
hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;
❒Press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator;❒Turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning
light
mgoes out. If you wait too long you will
lose the benefit of the work done by the glow
plugs. Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
IMPORTANT With cold engine, the accelerator
pedal shall be completely released while turning the
ignition key to AVV.
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
Y remains lit, 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.
If you still cannot start the engine, contact Lancia
Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key at MAR
when the engine is off.

CORRECT
USE OF
THE CAR
The warning light mwill flash for 60 seconds at start-up or during prolonged cranking to signal
a fault in the glow plug heating system. You can use the car as usual if the engine starts but you
should contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
PARKING THE CAR
To park the car safely it is absolutely necessary to
press the brake pedal and to engage first gear or
reverse R and also the hand brake if the car is on a
slope; it is also absolutely necessary to wait for the
multifunction display showing the gear engaged to
go off before releasing the brake pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with gearbox in
neutral N.
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒With the car stopped and a gear engaged always
keep the brake pedal pressed until deciding to
move off, then release the brake pedal and
accelerate gradually;
❒during prolonged halts with the engine running it
is advisable to keep the gearbox in neutral N;
❒when the car is parked facing uphill, to safeguard
clutch efficiency do not use the accelerator to
keep the car still since clutch overheating could
damage it. Use the brake pedal and press the
accelerator pedal only when deciding to move off;❒use second gear only when more control is needed
for moving off manoeuvres with poor grip;
❒if, in reverse gear R, first gear is to be engaged or
vice versa, shift gear only when the car is stopped
completely and with the brake pedal pressed;
❒though highly inadvisable, if when travelling
downhill for some unexpected reason the car is
set to neutral N, when the engagement of a gear
is requested, the system automatically engages
the best gear in relation to the speed of the car to
allow the correct transmission of torque to the
wheels;
❒when travelling downhill with a gear engaged and
the accelerator released (if the car is moving),
beyond a pre-established speed, the system
engages the clutch automatically to give the car
adequate engine braking.
