IF BATTERY IS TO BE DISCONNECTED
Battery is housed on the left side of
the luggage compartment, protected
by cover B(fig. 79). To remove cover
unscrew knob A.
DISCONNECTING THE
LOADED BATTERY
Should the charged battery be dis-
connected (e.g. during a car inactivity
time) perform these operations in the
given order:
1) Depress the push button on the
central console or on the remote con-
trol to open the boot. 2) Depress manually the inside hook
A (fig. 80) of the boot lock, and push
it back completely until the recall
electric travel is activated.
3) Remove the cover and disconnect
battery terminals.
4) Fully turn anti-clockwise the key
into the outside bonnet lock to pull
out the locking hook (fig. 81).
5) If necessary, it is now possible to
fully close the boot, leaving the bat-
tery disconnected.
6) When the battery it to be con-
nected again, to open the bonnet, fully

turn the key anticlockwise in the lock,
and at the same time slightly press the
lower edge of the number plate holder
to reduce operation effort (fig. 81).
7) Connect battery terminals and as-
semble the cover again.
8) Depress push button A(fig. 81)
to restore normal lock operation.
9) Normally close the boot without
slamming it down; the lock electric
servo control will fully lock it.
10) Perform the initialisation of the
door lock, air conditioner and ESP
system control units, described below.

303
DISCONNECTING THE
UNLOADED BATTERY
Should the discharged battery be
disconnected (to have it charged
again or to replace it) perform the fol-
lowing operations in the given order:
1) To open the boot from the out-
side, fully turn the key anticlockwise
in the lock (fig. 81), and at the same
time slightly press the lower edge of
the number plate holder to reduce op-
eration effort.
2) Remove the cover and disconnect
the battery terminals.
3) Fully charge the battery again or
replace it.4) Connect battery terminals and re-
assemble cover.
5) Depress push button A(fig. 81)
to restore normal lock operation.
6) Close boot normally without
slamming it down: lock electric servo
control will fully lock it.
7) Perform the initialisation proce-
dure of the door lock, air conditioner
and ESP system control units, here-
after described.INITIALISING THE CONTROL
UNITS OF THE DOOR LOCKS,
AIR CONDITIONER AND ESP
SYSTEM
Whenever the battery is connected
electrically or protection fuses are re-
placed, to restore correct door locking,
air conditioning and ESP system, per-
form the following operations (after
connection is performed or after re-
placing one of the fuses):
1) Enter key into the lock of one of
the front doors and perform a door
centralised opening/closing cycle.
2) Start the engine and turn on the
compressor of the conditioner, setting
a lower temperature value than that
of the environment and check
whether the led on the disconnection
push button of the conditioner com-
pressor òis lit.
3) Start running the car and drive it
for a few meters in a straight line (ac-
celerating), until the ESP warning
light is off
á. It is not possible to close
the boot when battery is
discharged or discon-
nected for the purpose of being re-
placed/ charged again: do not try
to close the boot by slamming it
down. The boot remains anyhow
hooked on and it must be re-
opened by turning the key in the
lock.

305
Under no circumstances
should a battery charger
be used to start the
engine: it could damage the elec-
tronic systems and in particular
the ignition and injection control
units.Carefully clean the
threading before fastening
the tow ring. Before start-
ing to tow the car, make sure the
ring has been fully fastened. Never try to charge a
frozen battery: first let it
thaw out, otherwise it
may bust. If the battery has
frozen, check that the internal
elements are not broken (risk of
short circuit) and that the casing
is not cracked causing the acid to
leak out. This acid is poisonous
and corrosive.
TOWING THE CAR
The tow ring provided with the car
is to be found in the tool box under
the boot carpet.
To fit the tow ring proceed as fol-
lows:
– Remove the clipped in Acover
from the front (fig. 82) or rear
bumper (fig. 83), by using a screw-
driver as a lever in the point shown
in the figure.IMPORTANT To carry out this
operation, if you use the provided
flat-head screwdriver, cover its head
with a piece of cloth to prevent paint
damaging.
– Screw the tow ring Bin its hous-
ing.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To prevent rapidly draining the
battery and ensure that it continues
to work correctly, the following
should be noted:
– Terminals must always be firmly
tightened.
– Do not keep accessories (e.g.
sound system, hazard lights, parking
lights, etc.).
– When you park the car, ensure
the doors, boot and bonnet are
closed properly. The ceiling lights
must be off.
– Before working on the electrical
system, disconnect the negative
cable from the battery.– If after buying the car, you want
to install electric accessories which
require permanent electric supply,
visit a Lancia Dealership, whose
qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices
belonging to the Lineaccessori
Lancia, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking
whether the car’s electric system is
capable of withstanding the load
required, or whether it should be
integrated with a more powerful
battery. These devices in fact take
electricity also when the ignition key
is removed (car parked, engine off),
and can gradually drain the battery.
The overall intake of these devices
(standard and after-market) must
be less than 0.6 mA x Ah (of the bat-
tery), as shown in the following
table.Battery Maximum
idle intake
70 Ah 42 mA
80 Ah 48 mA
100 Ah 60 mA
It is also important to remember
that high intake devices (such as
bottle warmers, vacuum cleaners,
cellular phones, frigo bar, etc.) will
speed up battery discharging when
powered with engine off or running
idle.
– Please note that when installing
additional systems in the car, incor-
rect wiring can be dangerous espe-
cially when concerning safety sys-
tems.
