CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of
your car down and lower the amount
of toxic emissions released into the at-
mosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Service
schedule”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption
because rolling resistance will be
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
boot. The weight of the car (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affect consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These acces-
sories decrease aerodynamic penetra-
tion of the car and have a negative ef-
fect on consumption. It is better to use
a trailer to transport particularly
bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the
amount of time needed. Rear heated
window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, there-
fore increasing the requirement of
current increases fuel consumption
(up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires
higher fuel consumption (up to +20%
in average): use the air vents when the
external temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag
and consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the
car standing: the engine warms up
very slowly in these conditions, in-
creasing consumption and emissions.
It is advisable to start off immediately
and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much
faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at
traffic lights or before stopping the
engine. The latter action, like dou-
bling the clutch, is unnecessary and
causes increase of consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic
and road conditions allow. Using a
low gear for faster acceleration will in-
crease consumption.
In the same way improper use of a
high gear increases consumption,
emissions an engine wear.

TO CHANGE
A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a bulb is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is in-
tact before replacing it: refer to the
“If a fuse blows” paragraph in this
chapter for fuse location;
❒Before changing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒For safety reasons, always check
the height of the headlight beam
after changing a bulb.
Halogen lamps must be
handled holding the metal-
lic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb
with your fingers may reduce the in-
tensity of the emitted light and even
compromise duration of the lamp it-
self. In the event of accidental con-
tact, rub the bulb with a cloth
dampened with alcohol and allow to
dry.

Changes or repairs to the
electrical system (electric
control units) carried out incor-
rectly and without due considera-
tion for the technical specifications
of the system can lead to malfunc-
tioning and generate a fire hazard.
WARNING
Halogen lamps contain gas
under pressure. Their
breaking can cause scattering of
glass fragments.
WARNING
BULB TYPES fig. 16
Various types of bulbs are fitted to
your car:
A All glass bulb: clipped into place.
Pull to extract.
B Bayonet bulbs: to remove this type
of bulb from its holder, press the
bulb and turn it anticlockwise.
C Cylindrical bulbs: release from the
contacts to extract.
D-E Halogen bulbs: release the fas
tening clip from the correspond
ing seat to remove the lamp.
L0D0178mfig. 16
The rear sidelights and
brake lights and the third
brake light are LEDs so in the
event of malfunctioning, contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
IMPORTANT A slight misting may ap-
pear on the internal surface of the
headlight: this does not indicate a fault
and is caused by low temperature and
the degree of humidity in the air. Mist-
ing will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The pres-
ence of drops inside the headlights in-
dicates infiltration of water. Contact a
Lancia Dealership
