MANUALLY DEACTIVATING PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG
(FRONT AND SIDE BAG) (where provided)
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the front seat,
the passenger's air bags (front and side bag) can be deactivated.
Air bag deactivation/reactivation takes place with ignition key at
STOP, using the ignition key and the suitable key switch located in
the upper right compartment of the instrument panel
IMPORTANT Operate the switch only when the engine is not running
and the ignition key is removed.
The key-operated switch has two positions:
❒passenger's front air bags (front and side bag) activated (ON
positionP): warning light Fon instrument panel off; it is
absolutely prohibited to carry a child on the front seat.
❒passenger's front air bags (front and side bag) deactivated (OFF
positionF): warning light Fon instrument panel on; it is
possible to carry a child protected by special restraint system on
the front seat.
The warning light Fon instrument panel stays on permanently until
reactivating the passenger's air bags (front and side bag).
The key can be removed when in both positions.

WARNING
Remember that with the key engaged and in the MAR position, even with the engine
not running, the air bags may be triggered on a stationary vehicle if it is bumped by
another moving car. Therefore, never seat children on the front seat even when the
vehicle is stationary. On the other hand remember that if the key is at STOP, no safe-
ty system (air bags or pretensioners) is triggered in the event of an impact; in these
case, failure to come into action cannot be considered as a sign that the system is
not working properly.
WARNING
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to the MAR position, the warning light F(with
passenger’s front air bag deactivation, (where fitted), switch in the ON position)
turns on and flashes for few seconds to remind that passenger’s air bag will be
deployed in a crash, after which it should go off.
Do not wash the seat back rest with pressurised water or steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
Never travel with objects on your lap, in front of your chest or with a pipe, pencil,
etc. between your lips; injury may result in the event of the air bag being triggered.
WARNING

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.

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.

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.

To return to manual mode, set the gear lever back to A/M.
With the car stationary and the key removed, it is possible to shift the
lever with/without the brake pedal pressed. The system will perform
no actuation when shifting the lever and the gear engaged will be the
one stored before removing the ignition key.
IMPORTANT With the engine off and the car stationary, any error
between lever position and gear engaged is indicated by warning light
(è) coming on for a few seconds on the instrument panel together
with the message on the multifunction display.
