SYSTEM FAILURE
(petrol versions - amber)
Injection system failure
When the ignition key is moved to
MAR, the warning light turns on and
should go out as soon as the engine is
started.If the warning light stays on or turns
on during car travel, it indicates that
the injection system is not operating
correctly, which could cause reduced
performance, poor drivability and
high consumption levels.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
In these conditions, the car can con-
tinue travelling at moderate speed
without demanding excessive effort
from the engine. In any case, go to a
Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
EOBD engine control system
failure
Under normal conditions, when the
ignition key is moved to MAR, the
warning light turns on and should go
off after engine start-up. This indi-
cates that the warning light is work-
ing correctly. If the warning light ei-
ther stays on or comes on during car
travel:
❒steady light: indicates a fault in the
supply/ignition system which could
cause high emissions at the ex-
haust, possible reduced perfor-
mances, poor drivability and high
consumption levels. U
The display will show the dedicated
message.
In these conditions, the car can con-
tinue travelling at moderate speed
without demanding excessive effort
from the engine. Prolonged use of the
car with the warning light on may
cause damage. Go to a Lancia Deal-
ership as soon as possible. The warn-
ing light goes out after the fault is
cleared, and the indication is stored in
the system.
❒flashing light: indicates the possi-
bility of damage to the catalyser
(see “EOBD system” in section
“Dashboard and controls”).
If the warning light flashes, release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed
of the engine until the warning light
stops flashing; continue the journey at
moderate speed, trying to avoid dri-
ving conditions that may cause fur-
ther flashing. Finally, contact Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.

The doors are fitted with an emer-
gency device so that they can be
closed using a lock in the event of a
current failure.
In this case, to close the doors of the
car, proceed as follows:
❒fit the ignition key into the revolv-
ing plug B-fig. 1.
❒turn it to 1and close the door.

THE ENGINE
STARTING WITH AN
AUXILIARY BATTERY
If the battery is lat, the engine may be
started using an auxiliary battery with
the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one.
Proceed as follows:
❒connect the positive terminals (+
sign near the terminal) of the two
batteries using an appropriate ca-
ble; To re-open the door, proceed as fol-
lows:
❒fit the ignition key in the revolving
plug of the lock on the driver’s side
and turn it anticlockwise
❒open the door on the driver side
❒from the inside of the car, open the
remaining doors by lifting the re-
spective levers on the door han-
dles.

❒using a second cable connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxil-
iary battery to the ground E
on the
engine or on the gearbox of the car
to be started;
❒Start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started,
remove the leads reversing the or-
der above.
If after various attempts the engine
does not start, do not persist in vain.
Contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not connect the neg-
ative terminals of the two batteries di-
rectly: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on an-
other car, prevent accidental contact
between metallic parts of the two cars.Never use a quick battery
charger for the emergency
start: this could damage the
electronic systems and the
engine fuel feed and ignition control
units.
This starting procedure
must be carried out by
expert personnel as incorrect ma-
noeuvres can cause electric dis-
charges of considerable intensity.
Furthermore, battery fluid is poi-
sonous and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with your skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the bat-
tery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.

Indicate that the car is sta-
tionary according to the
laws in force: emergency lights, re-
fracting warning triangle, etc. Pas-
sengers should leave the car, partic-
ularly if it is very loaded and wait
for the wheel to be changed away
from on-coming traffic. In case of
steep slopes or rough slopes, place
wedges or other materials suitable
to stop the vehicle under the wheels.

REPAIR KIT FIX
& GO automatic
(if provided for)
The quick tyre repair kit Fix & Go
automaticfig. 3is placed in the boot.
The kit includes:
❒cylinderAcontaining sealing liq-
uid and fitted with:
– filling pipe B;
– adhesive label Cbearing the
words “max. 80 km/h”, to be at-
tached in a position easily visi-
ble to the driver (on the dash-
board) after tyre repair;
❒informative leaflet fig. 4, used to
ensure the correct use of the quick
tyre repair kit and then given to
the personnel who will handle the
treated tyre; BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by push-
ing, towing or driving downhill. This
could cause a flow of fuel into the cat-
alytic converter and damage it beyond
repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the
brake booster and the power steering
system are not operating until the en-
gine is started, a greater effort will
therefore be required to press the
brake pedal or turn the steering
wheel.
