PARKING THE CAR
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
❒when on a slope, engage a gear
(engage first gear if the car is
faced uphill or reverse if it is faced
downhill) and leave the wheels
steered.
When parking the car on a steep
slope, it is advisable to also place a
wedge or a rock under the wheels.
PROLONGED parking with a wheel
on the pavement or steered against a
step should be avoided. Do not leave
the ignition key on MARto prevent
draining the battery. Always remove
the key when you leave the car.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located be-
tween the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the
handbrake.
Four or five notches are normally suf-
ficient to lock the car on flat terrain,
while nine or ten may be necessary on
a steep slope with the car loaded. IMPORTANT If this is not the case,
contact a Lancia Dealership to have
the handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled
up and the ignition key is on MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
xwill turn on.
Proceed as follows to release the
handbrake:
❒slightly lift the handbrake and
press release button A-fig. 1;
❒keep button Apressed and lower
the lever. Warning light
xwill
turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying
out this operation to prevent the car
from moving accidentally.
IMPORTANT If the handbrake lever
tends to reach end of its stroke
(groove on the central console), con-
tact a Lancia Dealership to have the
handbrake adjusted.

(red)
When the ignition key is moved to
MAR, the warning light turns on and
should go off after a few seconds.
If the warning light stays on, the elec-
tric steering system provides no assis-
tance and the effort on the steering
wheel is increased, although steering
is still possible. In this case, go to a
Lancia Dealership.
The display will show the dedicated
message.

ure or non-availability of the system.
Early locking of the rear wheels may

(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.

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.

IN AN
EMERGENCY
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.

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
