2007 Lancia Musa alarm

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If, after buying the car, you decide to install
electrical accessories that require a permanent
electric supply (alarm, satellite antitheft system,
etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the
electric supply, contact Lancia Dealership, whose
qualified personnel, besides suggesting the most
suitable devices belonging to Lineaccessori Lancia,
will also evaluate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the vehicle electric system is able
to withstand the load required, or whether it needs
to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed after buying the
vehicle and in after-market shall bear the following
marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation of
transceivers, provided that installation is workmanlike
performed in compliance with Manufacturer’s
specifications at a specialised service centre.
IMPORTANT The installation of devices involving
modifications of vehicle characteristics may
determine the withdrawal of the driving licence by
the appointed public authorities and the forfeiture ofthe warranty as concerns defects/failures due to said
modification or leading directly or indirectly to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility due to
damages connected with the installation of
accessories/devices not supplied by or recommended
by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installed not in compliance
with the specified prescriptions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs mobile
phones, HAM radio systems and the like) shall not
be used inside the car unless a separate aerial is
mounted outside the car.
The use of these devices inside the passenger
compartment (without external aerial) may cause
electrical systems equipping the car to malfunction.
This could compromise car safety in addition to
constituting a potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be affected by the shielding effect of
the car body.
As concerns the use of mobile phones (GSM, GPRS,
UMTS) provided with official EC approval, strictly
comply with the instructions given by the mobile
phone manufacturer.

PARKING SENSORS (where provided)
The parking sensors are located on the rear bumper and their function is
to inform the driver, through an intermittent buzzer, about the presence
of obstacles in the rear part of the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse gear is
engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind the car decreases, the
acoustic alarm becomes more frequent.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the reduction of distance between the car and
the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the
obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops if the distance raises;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried. If this situation takes place
for side sensors, the signal is stopped after about 3 seconds to
prevent sound indications when performing manoeuvres near
walls.
Direction distances
The central detecting range varies according to car engine type/set-up
version: detection range is 140 cm. For small size obstacles (or in case
of parking deterrent blocks that are round shaped) it is 70 cm. Side
detecting range is 60 cm.
If several obstacles are detected, the control unit indicates the nearest
one.

IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT
WARNING The battery charging procedure is
described only for information purposes. This
operation should be carried out by Lancia
Dealership.
Charging should be slow at low amp rating for 24
hours. Charging for a longer time may damage the
battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;❒connect the charger cables to the battery
terminals, observing the poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the charger off
before disconnecting the battery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.
WARNING If the vehicle is fitted with alarm system,
turn it off with the remote control (see “Alarm” in
the “Dashboard and controls” chapter).
The liquid in the battery is poisonous and corrosive. Do not let it touch the skin or
eyes. Recharging the battery should be done in a well ventilated area away from
naked flames or possible sources of sparks: explosion and fire risk.
WARNING
WARNING
Do not attempt to recharge a frozen battery. Thaw it first, otherwise it could
explode. If the battery froze, make sure the internal elements are not broken
(short-circuit risk) and that the casing is not cracked (risk of spilling the
poisonous and corrosive fluid).

If the battery is not fitted with electrolyte level
indicator, the relevant checks must only be carried
out by authorised personnel.
To check the battery charge, slacken the two
fastening screws and open the cover. Check the
battery charge and then reclose the cover, take care
to prevent pinching and short circuits.CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare
part having the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the
service intervals given in the “Service schedule” in
this section will no longer be valid. Refer to the
instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.

MAINTENANCE
WARNINGWhen working on the battery or near it, always wear the proper goggles. Batteries contain substances that are very harmful for the environment. You are advised to have
the battery changed at a Lancia Dealership, which is properly equipped for disposing of used
batteries respecting nature and the law.
Incorrect fitting of electrical and electronic accessories can seriously damage the car.
If after buying the car, you want to install electric accessories which require permanent electric
supply (alarm, free-hand phone kit, etc.) contact Lancia Dealership whose qualified personnel, in
addition to suggesting the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric system is capable of withstanding the load required, or whether
it should be integrated with a more powerful battery.
If the car is left inactive for long periods at cold, remove the battery and store it
in a warm place to prevent freezing.
WARNING

USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and lengthen its life,
observe the following indications:
❒when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate
and bonnet are closed properly;
❒the ceiling lights must be off. The car is however
provided with an automatic system for switching
off internal lights;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g.: sound system,
hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the electrical
system, disconnect the battery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be perfectly
tightened.IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at a charge of
less than 50% (optical indicator with dark colour
without green area in the middle) for any length of
time will be damaged by sulphation leading to a
reduction in cranking power. Moreover, this might
lead to a higher risk of the battery electrolyte
freezing (this may even occur at -10°C).
If the car is left inactive for a long period of time,
refer to “Car inactivity”, in section “Correct use of
the car”.
If after buying the car, you want to install electric
accessories which require permanent electric supply
(alarm, free-hands set, etc.) contact Lancia
Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices of the
Lineaccessori Lancia, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the car’s
electric system is capable of withstanding the load
required, or whether it should be integrated with a
more powerful battery.
