2007 Lancia Musa overheating

FAILURE WARNINGS
Any electric power steering failure is indicated by
cluster warning light gcoming on (together, with
the message on the multifunction display - see the
“Warning lights” chapter).
In the event of electric power steering failure, the
car can be driven with mechanical steering to the
closest Lancia Dealership.IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff
following parking manoeuvres including a great
deal of steering. This is normal and caused by the
system to prevent motor overheating. No servicing is
required. The electrical power steering system will
return to normal operation the next time the car is
used.

WARNING
Always switch the engine off, remove the key from the starting device and actuate
the steering lock before carrying out any maintenance operation, especially when
the wheels are raised from the ground. In case this is not possible (e.g. when the
key must be in MAR position or the engine running), remove the electric power
steering main fuse before carrying out any maintenance operation.

PARKING THE CAR
To park the car safely it is absolutely necessary to
press the brake pedal and to engage first gear or
reverse R and also the hand brake if the car is on a
slope; it is also absolutely necessary to wait for the
multifunction display showing the gear engaged to
go off before releasing the brake pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with gearbox in
neutral N.
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒With the car stopped and a gear engaged always
keep the brake pedal pressed until deciding to
move off, then release the brake pedal and
accelerate gradually;
❒during prolonged halts with the engine running it
is advisable to keep the gearbox in neutral N;
❒when the car is parked facing uphill, to safeguard
clutch efficiency do not use the accelerator to
keep the car still since clutch overheating could
damage it. Use the brake pedal and press the
accelerator pedal only when deciding to move off;❒use second gear only when more control is needed
for moving off manoeuvres with poor grip;
❒if, in reverse gear R, first gear is to be engaged or
vice versa, shift gear only when the car is stopped
completely and with the brake pedal pressed;
❒though highly inadvisable, if when travelling
downhill for some unexpected reason the car is
set to neutral N, when the engagement of a gear
is requested, the system automatically engages
the best gear in relation to the speed of the car to
allow the correct transmission of torque to the
wheels;
❒when travelling downhill with a gear engaged and
the accelerator released (if the car is moving),
beyond a pre-established speed, the system
engages the clutch automatically to give the car
adequate engine braking.

The instrument panel warning light will come on (together with the
message on multifunction display and the buzzer) to indicate clutch
overheating when using the Dual FuNction System gearbox.
When the car is parked facing uphill, to safeguard clutch efficiency do not use the accelerator to
keep the car still since clutch overheating could damage it. Use the brake pedal and press the
accelerator pedal only when deciding to move off.
If the warning light continues to stay on (together with the message on the

IMPORTANT Do not use the quick repairing kit if
the tyre is damaged due to driving with the wheel
flattened.IT SHOULD BE NOTICED THAT:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is
effective with external temperatures between –20 °C
and +50 °C.
The sealing fluid has limited life.
In the event of a puncture caused by foreign bodies, it is possible to repair tyres showing damages
on the track or shoulder up to max 4 mm diameter.
The compressor shall not be operated for more than 20 minutes. Risk of
overheating!. Tyres repaired with the quick tyre repair kit shall be used
temporarily only.WARNING
Repairs are not possible in case of damages on the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove foreign bodies (screws or nails) from
the tyre.WARNING
Holes and damages on the tyre side walls cannot be repaired. Do not use the
quick tyre repair kit if damaging is due to running with flat tyre.WARNING

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are
concerned, carefully follow the “Service schedule”
in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and prolonged
lack of fluid in the system may cause hardening and
cracking of the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful
control is therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn they should be
replaced. In any case they should be changed once a
year.
A few simple notions can reduce the possibility of
damage to the blades:
❒if the temperature fall below zero, make sure
that ice has not frozen the rubber against glass.
If necessary, thaw using an antifreeze product;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in addition to
protecting the blades, this prevents effort on the
motor and overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and rear window
wipers on dry glass.
