CORRECT USE OF THE CAR

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.

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.

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.

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.

CORRECT
USE OF
THE CAR
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.
WARNING

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.

USING THE MECHANICAL GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and shift the gear
lever into one of the required positions (the diagram is shown on the
knob).
IMPORTANT The car can only be put into reverse gear when it has
stopped moving completely. With the engine running, before engaging
the reverse, wait at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully down to
prevent damage and grating of the gears.
To engage 6
thgear (where required), press the lever to the right to
prevent engaging 4thgear by mistake. A similar action is required to
shift down from 6th to 5th.
To engage reverse (R) from neutral, lift the sliding ring (A) under the
knob and shift the lever to the right and back (only for petrol
versions).
For Multijet versions, just shift lever to the right and back.

L0D0150m
To change gears properly you must push the clutch pedal fully down. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the pedals: make sure mats are lying flat and do
not get in the way of the pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear lever as the force exerted, even if slight, could lead
over time to premature wear on the gearbox internal components.

USING THE DUAL FUNCTION SYSTEM
GEARBOX (where provided)
The car may be fitted with a mechanical transmission with electronic
control called “Dual FuNction System” that features two operating
modes: MANUAL and AUTO. This gearbox includes a conventional
mechanical transmission to which an electronically-operated
electrohydraulic device has been added which controls automatically
the clutch and gear engagement.
HOW TO MOVE OFF
Manual mode
❒Press the brake pedal
❒Start the engine
❒Move the gear lever A to + UP to engage the first gear or to R to
engage reverse
❒Release the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal
❒When running move the gear lever A to + UP for upshifting or to –
(DOWN) for downshifting.
Automatic mode
❒ Press the brake pedal
❒Start the engine
❒Move the gear lever A to A/M to engage the automatic mode or to R
to engage reverse
❒Release the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal.

OPERATION
The gearbox can work in two operating modes:
❒the first mode is manual (MANUAL): the driver directly requests
gearshifting;
❒the second mode is automatic (AUTO): the system directly decides
when shifting gears. With this operating logic it is possible to
activate the ECO (Economy) function to contain consumption by
pressing button E on the gearbox mask.
To shift gears and to select the operating mode (MANUAL or AUTO)
use the gear lever A set on the central console (see figure).
