CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may help you to
keep the running costs of your car down and lower
the amount of toxic emissions released into the
atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Service schedule”.Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an
interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is
too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to
rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage stowed in the
boot. The weight of the car (especially when driving
in town) and its trim greatly affects consumption
and stability.

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

ENGINE STARTING
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the Lancia CODE cannot deactivate the engine
immobilising system, the
YandUwarning lights
stay on and the engine will not start.
To start the engine the emergency start-up can be
performed.
Read the whole procedure carefully before trying to
carry it out. If you make a mistake, you must turn
the ignition key back to STOP and repeat the whole
operation from beginning.
Proceed as follows:
❒Read the 5-figure electronic code given on the
CODE card;
❒Turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒Press and hold down the accelerator pedal. The
instrument panel warning light
Uwill come on
for about 8 seconds and then go out;
❒Release the accelerator pedal and get ready to
count the flashes of the
Uwarning light;
❒Count the number of flashes that corresponds to
the first figure of the code on the CODE card,
then press the accelerator pedal and keep it there
until the
Uwarning light comes on for four
seconds and then goes out; release the
accelerator pedal;
❒TheUwarning light will start flashing again:
after it has flashed the number of times that
corresponds to the second figure on the CODE
card, press the accelerator pedal to the floor and
keep it there;
❒Do the same for the remaining figures on the
CODE card;
❒Once the final figure has been entered, keep the
accelerator pedal pressed. The
Uwarning light
will light up for four seconds and then go out;
release the accelerator pedal;
❒Rapid flashing of the warning light U(for
about 4 seconds) confirms the operation has
been carried out successfully;
❒Start the engine by turning the ignition key from
MAR to AVV.
If however the warning light
Ustays on, turn the
ignition key to STOP and repeat the procedure from
step one
IMPORTANT After an emergency start-up, you
should contact a Lancia Dealership otherwise you
will have to repeat the procedure described each
time you want to start the engine.

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.

❒make sure the compressor switch D is set to 0 (off), start the engine
and fit plug A into the nearest current outlet and then turn on the com-
pressor by setting switch D to I (on). Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in section “Technical Spec-
ifications”.
Check tyre pressure on gauge F with compressor off to obtain pre-
cise reading;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible to reach at least 1.5 bar, disen-
gage compressor from valve and current outlet, then move the car forth
for approx. ten metres in order to distribute the sealing fluid inside the
tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still impossible after 5 minutes to reach at
least 1.8 bar, do not start driving since the tyre is excessively damaged
and the quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing, con-
tact Lancia Dealership;

WARNINGApply the sticker in a visible position for
the driver to indicate that the tyre has
been treated with the quick tyre repair
kit. Drive carefully especially when
cornering. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
heavy braking and accelerating.
WARNINGIf the pressure falls below 1.8 bars, do not
drive any further: the quick tyre repair
kit Fix & Go automatic cannot guarantee
proper hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact Lancia Dealership.

WARNING
The jack should only be used to change a wheel on the car for which it was
designed. It should not be put to other uses or employed to raise other models of
cars. Under no circumstances should it be used when carrying out repairs under
the car. An incorrectly positioned jack may cause the car to fall.
Do not use the jack to lift loads exceeding that indicated on the label attached to
the jack itself.
Do not fit snow chains on a space-saver spare wheel.
If a front wheel (drive wheel) is punctured and you require snow chains to
proceed, take a standard wheel from the rear axle and fit the space-saver spare
wheel in its place.
Having fitted two standard wheels on the front drive axle you can use snow
chains, thus solving the emergency situation.
WARNING
When driving with a space-saver spare wheel fitted, the driving performance of
your car may change. Avoid accelerating or braking suddenly, steering abruptly
or fast cornering.
The lifespan of a space-saver spare wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which
it will need to be replaced with another spare wheel of the same type. Never fit a
standard tyre on the space-saver spare wheel rim.
Have the wheel replaced and refitted as soon as possible. Never use two or more
spare wheels at the same time. Do not lubricate the bolt threads before fitting
them back: they could come loose.
WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap correctly to prevent the wheel from coming free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never place tools between the rim and tyre. Check the tyre and space-saver spare
wheel pressure regularly. The tyre inflation pressure is shown in the “Technical
specifications” chapter.
