JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, you can use
another battery to start the engine.
Its capacity must be the same or
slightly greater than the flat battery
(see the “Technical Specification”
chapter).
The battery is placed on the left
side of the boot, protected by a
cover.Before opening the lug-
gage compartment bonnet
to reload the battery or to
connect an auxiliary battery,
carefully read and comply with
the instructions contained in the
paragraph “If battery is to be dis-
connected” in the chapter “In an
emergency”.
Jump starting does not damage the
Lancia CODE system. Proceed as
follows:
1) Disconnect all electrical devices
that are not strictly useful.
2) Lift the boot tailgate by turning
the key metal insert clockwise in the
latch.3) Loosen the knob A(fig. 1) and
remove the protective cover B.
4) Press flanges A(fig. 2) and
remove the cover B.
5) Connect the positive terminals
(+) A(fig. 3) and Bof the two bat-
teries with a jump lead.
6) With a second lead connect first
the negative terminal (–) Cof the
auxiliary battery and then the earth
braid Dof the car to be started.

7) Start the engine.
8) When the engine has started,
remove the leads in the reverse order
to before: D, C, Band finally A.
IMPORTANT If the engine fails to
start after a few attempts, do not keep
turning the key but have the car seen
to at a Lancia Dealership.
9) Put the cover back on the bat-
tery positive terminal by fitting the
lock flanges in.
10) Put the cover back and retight-
en the knob.
11) Close the boot tailgate.IMPORTANTWhen the tailgate is
closed, the boot latch is not locked.
To lock it, turn the metal insert of
the key anticlockwise in the latch.
Do not carry out this
procedure if you lack
experience: if it is not
done correctly it can cause very
intense electrical discharges and
the battery might even explode.
Do not to put naked flames or
lighted cigarettes near the battery
and do not cause sparks: risk of
explosion and fire.
Never use a battery
charger to jump start the
engine: you could damage
the electronic system, with spe-
cial reference to ignition and
injection control unit.
BUMP STARTING
Do not bump start by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill. This
way of starting could cause a rush of
fuel into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
Remember that ifthe engine is not
running, the brake booster and the
power steering will not work. You
therefore have to use considerably
more effort on both the brake pedal
and the steering wheel.
Never connect the nega-
tive terminals of the two
batteries directly: sparks
could ignite the flammable gas
from the battery. If the auxiliary
battery is installed on another
car, prevent accidental contact
between the metal parts of the
two vehicles.
