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.

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.
