USE OF MATERIALS THAT DO NOT HARM THE ENVIRONMENT
None of the car’s components contain asbestos. Padding and the air conditioning system do not contain CFCs
(Chlorofluorocarbides), the gases considered responsible for the destruction of the ozone layer. None of the
colourings and anti-corrosion coatings of the nuts and bolts contain air- or water-table-polluting cadmium or
chromates, but environmentally-friendly substances.
DEVICES FOR REDUCING EMISSIONS (petrol engines)
Three-way catalytic converter (catalytic exhaust pipe)
The exhaust system is equipped with a catalyst made up of noble metal alloys; it is housed in a stainless steel
container capable of withstanding the very high operating temperatures.
The catalyst converts the unburnt hydrocarbons, the carbon monoxide and the nitric oxides found in the exhaust
gases (though in small amounts, thanks to the electronic-injection ignition systems) into non-polluting substances.
When functioning normally, the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures. For this reason do not park the car
over inflammable material (e.g. paper, fuel oil, grass, dead leaves, etc.).
Lambda sensors
The Lambda sensors detect the oxygen content in the exhaust gas. The signal sent by the oxygen sensor is used by
the injection system electronic control unit to constantly mix air and fuel in the correct proportion.
Evaporation control system
As it is impossible to stop the build-up of petrol fumes, also when the engine is not running, the system traps them
in a special container holding active carbon.
The fumes are sucked in from here and burnt while the engine is running.

INITIAL CHECK
Turning the ignition key to MAR, the multifunction display shows the message “Checking”: the diagnostic
phase of all the electronic systems on the car has started. This lasts few seconds: if no faults are detected, when
the engine has started, the display shows the “Check OK” message.
See section “Warning lights and messages” if faults are found.
Is the

started?YES
If no failures are
present
The “Service schedule” includes vehicle maintenance every 20,000 km (or 12,000 mi) or every year; this is shown automatically,
with the ignition key at MAR, starting from 2,000 km (or 1,240 mi) or 30 days from this deadline and it is shown again every 200
km (or 124 mi) or 3 days. For 1.3 Multijet versions, see “Care and Maintenance” in section “Service schedule to change engine oil
and filter and air cleaner. When a programmed maintenance interval (coupon) is near to come, turning the ignition key to MAR, will
display the message “Service” followed by the number of km, or days to go before car servicing. “Scheduled servicing” message is
displayed in km, miles or days according to the approaching service interval. Contact a Lancia Dealership to carry out any service
operation provided by the “Service schedule” or “Annual inspection plan”, and to reset the display.
If the display shows a failure
message, see details in section
“Warning lights and messages”.

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an electrically controlled power steering called
“Dualdrive”. It only works when the ignition key is at MAR and the
engine is running and it can be customised by the driver according to
the driving conditions.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION (CITY function)
To turn this function on/off, press the CITY button located in the
middle of the instrument panel.
On some versions the activation of this function is signalled by the
lighting up of the CITY warning light on the instrument panel, on
others by the lighting up of CITY on the reconfigurable multifunction
display.
With the CITY function, the steering wheel will be lighter and require
less effort for parking. This operating strategy is suitable for driving
in cities.

It is absolutely forbidden to carry out whatever after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect performance and safety.
WARNING
WARNING
Be careful when mounting additional spoilers, alloy rims and non original wheel
caps: they may reduce the brake ventilation and efficiency during sharp and
repeated braking or sloping downhill. Also make sure that nothing (over-
carpeting, etc.) interferes with the pedal stroke.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
as soon as they are no longer used. These
accessories lower air penetration and adversely
affect consumption levels. When needing to carry
particularly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time
needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, therefore increasing
the requirement of current increases fuel
consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load which
greatly affects the engine leading to higher
consumption (on average up to +20%). When the
temperature outside the vehicle permits it, use the
air vents where possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may
adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.
