SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in compliance with
local regulations.
Snow chains should only be applied to the driving
wheels (front wheels). We recommend using
Lineaccessori Lancia snow chains.
Check the tension of the chains after driving some
ten metres.IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel
is punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel
should be fitted to the front of the vehicle and the
spare wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way
with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can be
fitted to them to solve an emergency.
IMPORTANT Tyres 205/50 R16 87V cannot be
fitted with snow chains.
Tyres on which chains can be fitted
185/65 R14 86T
195/60 R15 88TType of snow chains to be used
Snow chains with standard size
with max protrusion beyond the tyre profile of 12 mm.
Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
steps and pavements and avoid also to drive for long distances on roads not covered with snow
to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
Refer to the above mentioned table for information on the wheels where snow chains can be fitted.
Follow the prescriptions.

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.

GENERAL WARNINGS
Failure indications shown on the reconfigurable
multifunction display together with buzzer
sounding (adjustable) and warning light (if any)
coming on on the cluster, are accompanied by
specific warning messages (e.g.: “Switch off
engine”, etc...). These indications are concise and
cautionary and are aimed to suggest the prompt
action the driver must adopt when a car
malfunctioning appears. These indications,
however, shall not be considered as exhaustive
and/or as an alternative to the specifications
contained in this “Owner Handbook”, which shall
always be read through carefully and thoroughly. In
case of failure indication always refer to the
specifications contained in this section.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed on the
reconfigurable multifunction display are divided
into two categories: very serious failures and
serious/minor failures.
The message and the warning indication
corresponding to very serious failures are displayed
alternately for few seconds. This “cycle” is repeated
indefinitely and it stops any previous indication on
the display. It is displayed every time the ignition
key is turned to MAR, until the cause of
malfunctioning is removed. Should failure disappear, message and warning light
will however stay on for about 2 seconds.
Eliminating the failure, the warning light and the
displayed message will go off. It is possible to stop
this “cycle” by pressing button Q; in this case the
screen active before the failure will be resumed and
the warning light will stay on until eliminating the
failure cause.
The message and the warning indication
corresponding to serious/minor failures are
displayed alternately for few seconds. This “cycle”
is repeated for about 20 seconds and then goes off,
but it comes on again every time the ignition key is
turned to MAR.
Should failure disappear during the 20 seconds
displaying, message and warning light will stay on
for about 2 seconds. Eliminating the failure, the
warning light and the displayed message will go off.
At the end of the display cycle (which lasts approx.
20 seconds), or if button Qis pressed, the screen
active before the failure will be resumed and the
warning light will stay on until eliminating the
failure cause.
Q= Press button “MODE” for less than two seconds
R= Press button “MODE” for over two seconds

The warning light turns on (together with the message on the display,
on certain versions) when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir
falls below the minimum level, due to possible leak in the circuit.
HANDBRAKE ON
Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning light on the dial turns
on, but it should go off after few seconds. The warning light turns on
when the handbrake is on.
IMPORTANT If the warning light
