Never leave unsuper-
vised children in the car;
always remove the keys
and take them with you when you
leave the car.
If the CID device is
inside the car, the engine
can be started: therefore,
we recommend that you take the
greatest care since, in this cir-
cumstances, the engine could be
started unlawfully or by children
left unattended inside the car.PARKING
To park the car, proceed as fol-
lows:
– Stop the engine.
– Check for electric parking brake
engagement.
– Engage the 1
stgear if the car is
facing uphill or reverse if facing
downhill.
– In automatic gearbox versions
put selector to P.
– Leave the front wheels steered so
to stop the car immediately if the
parking brake is accidentally
released.
On versions equipped with sunroof
(where provided), the upper part of
the sunroof incorporates a set of
solar cells that feed the climate con-
trol system fan at first speed when
the car is parked to reduce the tem-
perature inside the passenger com-
partment.Never leave the ignition
key at MAR when the
engine is off to prevent
draining the battery.
IMPORTANT Best operation of
the fan when the car is parked is
obtained by closing completely the
windows and sunroof. Furthermore,
to check operation at first speed of
the fan, disengage air vents and set
air distribution from central dash-
board vents only before leaving the
car.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS AND
POLLUTION
Some suggestions which may help
you to keep the running costs of the
car down and lower the amount of
toxic emissions released into the
atmosphere are given below.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
The overall state of the car is an
important factor which has a
marked influence over fuel con-
sumption and driving comfort and
on the life span of your car. For this
reason care should be taken to main-
tain your car by carrying out the
necessary checks and regulations in
accordance with the specifications
given in the “Service Schedule” (see
sections: spark plugs, air cleaners,
timing...).Tyres
Tyre pressure should be checked at
least once every four weeks: if the
pressure is too low fuel consumption
increases as the resistance to the
rolling movement of the tyre is
greater. In this state, tyre wear is
increased and handling suffers,
which will effect safety.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much load in
the boot. The weight of the car (in
town traffic above all), and its trim
greatly effect consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof or ski racks from
the car as soon as they are no longer
needed. These accessories reduce the
aerodynamic penetration of the car
and will increase consumption.
When transporting particularly
large objects, use a trailer, where
possible.
Electrical devices
Use electrical devices for the neces-
sary time only. The heated rear win-
dow, fog lights, windscreen wipers,
heater fan require large amounts of
electricity and increasing the request
for power will also increase fuel con-
sumption (up to +25% when driving
in towns).
Climate control system
The climate control system is an
additional load which greatly effects
the engine leading to higher con-
sumption (up to +20% in average).
When the temperature outside
allows, use the air vents where pos-
sible.

8) Unscrew manually the jack han-
dle A(fig. 7) and remove it from the
container B.9) Open the tool bag and take out
the tools to be used (fig. 8):
1 – tow ring
2 – flat/cross-head screwdriver
3 – ratchet wrench
4 – ratchet wrench bush
5 – wheel bolt (for versions with
alloy rims)
6 – tool for removing the hub cap
(for versions with alloy rims)
7 – bush for unscrewing/screwing
the wheel bolts by hand8 – wrench for power steering re-
servoir cap screws
9 – wrench for actuating the sun-
roof in an emergency (where fitted)
10) On versions with alloy rims,
remove the press-fit wheel hub cap
A(fig. 9), pulling it by tool Bfitted
into C. On versions with steel rims,
remove the press-fit wheel cap A
(fig. 10).

Outside plastic parts must be
cleaned following the usual car
washing procedure.
Where possible avoid parking the
car under trees; the resinous sub-
stance that certain species of tree
shed dull the paintwork and increase
the possibility of rust forming.
IMPORTANTBird droppings
must be washed off immediately and
with great care as their acid is par-
ticularly aggressive.
Windows
Use specific window cleaners to
clean the windows. Use very clean
cloths to avoid scratching the glass
or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANTTo prevent damage
to the electric heater element, wipe
the inside of the heated rear window
gently in the same direction as the
elements. To wash the car properly:
1) Remove the aerial from the roof
to prevent damaging it when wash-
ing the car in an automatic carwash.
2) Wash the body using a low pres-
sure jet of water.
3) Wipe a sponge with a light neu-
tral PH detergent solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing the
sponge.
4) Rinse well with water and dry
with a jet of air or a chamois leather.
When drying the car, be careful to
get at those parts which are not so
easily seen e.g. the door frames, bon-
net and around the headlights where
water can most readily collect.
You should leave the car out in the
open so that any water remaining
can evaporate more easily.
Do not wash the car after it has
been parked in the sun or while the
bonnet is hot: it could take the shine
off the paint. Cleaning chromium
plated/anodized bodywork parts
To clean body parts such as mold-
ings, cappings, etc., use neutral pH
detergents. Avoid generic cleaning
products.
These parts shall be rinsed well with
water and then dried with a jet of air
or a chamois leather.
For further treatment use special
polish for chromium plated/anodized
parts.
Suitable car cleaning products are
available at Lancia Dealerships.

FUEL
CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption values
shown in the following table were
defined according to the type-
approval specifications in European
Directives.
Consumption values are defined by
means of the following procedures:– urban cycle: consisting of a cold
start and a simulated drive in city
streets;
– extra-urban cycle: consisting in
frequent accelerations, in all gears,
simulating normal conditions of use.
Speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h;
– combined consumption: con-
sisting of 37% urban cycle and 63%
extra-urban cycle.IMPORTANTRoad and traffic
conditions, weather, general condi-
tions of the car, driving style, fittings
and accessories, use of the climate
control system, load, roof racks and
other situations penalising aerody-
namic penetration and effecting
rolling resistance will influence fuel
consumption rates which can be dif-
ferent from the values shown in the
table (see “Cheap running that
respects the environment” in
“Driving your car” chapter).
