HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED (petrol and Multijet versions)
Proceed as follows:
❒Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at
medium revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❒Do not drive at full performance for the initial
kilometres. Wait until the coolant temperature
gauge starts moving.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on
with fixed light, the emergency start-up can be
performed by using the CODE card code
(see section “In an emergency”).STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow
the engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off
by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the
engine compartment to fall.

Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond repair.
A quick burst on the accelerator before turning off the engine serves absolutely no practical
purpose, it wastes fuel and is damaging especially to turbocharged engines.
Remember that the servobrake and power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake
pedal and steering wheel.

The warning light turns on (together with the message on the display)
when the engine is overheated. If the warning light comes on when
driving, proceed as follows:
❒normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and
check whether the water level in the reservoir is not below the MIN
mark. Otherwise wait for few seconds to allow engine cooling, then
open slowly and carefully the cap, top up coolant and check
whether its level is falling between MIN and MAX marks in the
reservoir. Check visually any leak. If when restarting the warning
light comes on again, contact a Lancia Dealership;

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing, towing,
or coasting downhill) as this could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage
it beyond repair.IMPORTANT Remember that until the engine has
started the brake booster and electrical power
steering systems will not work and a greater effort
will therefore be required to press the brake pedal
or turn the steering wheel.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is stationary in compliance with local regulations:
hazard warning lights, warning triangle etc. Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay away from
oncoming traffic while the wheel is being changed on. If the wheel is being
changed on a steep or badly surfaced road, place the wedges or other suitable
material under the wheel to stop the car.

It is of vital importance to communicate that the tyre has been repaired using the
quick tyre repair kit. Hand the instruction brochure to the personnel charged with
treating the tyre repaired with the kit.WARNING
❒if reaching the tyre pressure specified in paragraph “Inflation pressure”
in section “Technical Specifications”, start driving immediately;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check again the tyre pres-
sure; pull up the handbrake;
❒if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, restore proper pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the nearest Lancia Dealership.
FOR CHECKING AND RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can be also used just for restoring pressure.
Disconnect the quick connection and connect it directly to the tyre
valve; in this way the cylinder is not connected to compressor and the
sealing fluid will not flow into the tyre.
CYLINDER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder proceed as follows:
❒disconnect connection A;
❒turn counter-clockwise the cylinder to replace and raise it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clockwise;
❒connect connection A to the cylinder and fit the transparent tube B in-
to the proper space.

WARNING
Do not start the engine when towing the car.
WARNING
While the car is being towed with the
engine off, remember that the brake pedal
and steering will require more effort as
you no longer have the benefit of the brake
booster and the electrical power steering.
Do not use flexible cables to tow. Avoid
jerking. Whilst towing, ensure that the
coupling to the car does not damage the
surrounding components. When towing the
car, you must comply with the specific
traffic regulations regarding the tow hitch
and how to tow on the road. TOW RING HOOKING
Proceed as follows:
❒take the tow ring B from its support;
❒tighten the ring on the rear or front threaded pin.
Before starting to tow, turn the ignition
key to MAR and then to STOP. Do not
remove the key. If the key is removed, the
steering lock engages automatically which
prevents the wheels being turned.
