Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for selecting LANCIA.
We have written this handbook to help you get familiar with all the features of your car.
You should read it right through before taking the road for the first time.
You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your car to help you derive the best per-
formance from the technological features of your LANCIA. The booklet also provides a description of special features and
tips as well as essential information for correct care, maintenance, safety of car driving and use and preservation of your
LANCIA over time.
You are recommended to carefully read the warnings and indications, marked with the respective symbols, at the end of
the page:
personal safety;
the car integrity;
environmental protection.
The enclosed Warranty Booklet lists the services that LANCIA offers to its Customers:
- the Warranty Certificate with terms and conditions for maintaining its validity;
- the range of additional services available to LANCIA Customers.
We are confident that these instructions will help you become familiar with the car and appreciate your new car and
LANCIA after-sales staff who will be at your service.
Best regards and happy motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all LANCIA Musa versions. As a consequence, you should only consider the
information which is related to the engine and bodywork version of the car you have purchased.

USE OF ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY MATERIALS
None of the components installed on LANCIA Musa contains asbestos. The padding and air conditioning system are
CFC-free (Chlorofluorocarbons), these gases being reliable for the depletion of the ozone layer. Dying agents and anti-
corrosion coating of the bolts and screws no longer contain cadmium, which pollutes the air and waterbeds.
EMISSION-REDUCING DEVICES (petrol engines)
Three-way catalytic converter (catalytic converter)
The exhaust system features a catalyst made with alloys of noble metals. It is installed in a stainless steel housing which
is resistant to high operating temperatures.
The catalyst converts the unburnt hydrocarbons, carbon oxide and nitrogen oxides that are present in the exhaust gases
(although in small quantities thanks to electronic injection ignition systems) into non-polluting compounds.
As the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures during car operation, we recommend that the car should not be
parked on materials that may pose a risk of flammability (e.g. paper, fuel oils, dry grass or leaves, etc.).
Lambda sensors
These sensors (Lambda) detect the oxygen content in the exhaust gases. Lambda sensors produce a signal which is
used by the electronic control unit of the injection and ignition system for regulating the air-fuel mix.
Fuel evaporation system
Even when the engine is not running, it is not possible to prevent the formation of petrol vapours. For this reason, a
system has been developed to “catch” these vapours in a special activated carbon vessel.
While the engine is running, these vapours are aspirated and delivered to combustion.

EMISSION-REDUCING DEVICES (Multijet engines)
Oxidising catalytic converter
It is used to convert the polluting substances in the exhaust gases (carbon oxide, unburnt hydrocarbons and
particulate) into harmless substances by reducing the smoke opacity index and the typical smell of exhaust gases
produced by diesel engines.
The catalyst converter comprises a stainless steel metal enclosure which contains a ceramic honey-comb body on which
the noble metal, having a catalyst function, is installed.
Exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.)
It is used to recirculate, i.e. recycle, a portion of the exhaust gases in percentage terms that change according to the
engine operating conditions.
When necessary, it is used to check the emissions of nitrogen oxides.

MUST BE READ!
REFUELLING
Petrol engines:exclusively refuel the car with unleaded petrol having a RON that must not be below 95.
Multijet engines:exclusively refuel the car with vehicle propulsion diesel fuel conforming to the
European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause the
warranty to be void depending on the damage caused.
ENGINE STARTING
Petrol engines:make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress
the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AV Vand release it as soon as the
engine has started.
Multijet engines:turn the ignition key to MARand wait until the warning lights Yandmgo off.
Then , turn the ignition key to AV Vand release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire risk.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components to
ensure better respect of the environment.

SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been at-
tached near or actually on some of the
components of your car. These labels
bear symbols that draw your warning
to the precautions required when han-
dling the component in question.
The plate summarising the symbols
used can be found under the bonnet,

THE LANCIA CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the car. It
is automatically activated when the
ignition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic de-
vice which modulates the signal emit-
ted during ignition by an antenna
built in the ignition device. This sig-
nal is the ‘password’, which changes
at each ignition and is used by the
control unit to acknowledge the key
and allow ignition.

In this case, turn the key to STOP
and then back to MAR. Try with the
other keys provided if the problem
persists. If the engine will not start up
after this operation contact the
Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own
code which must be stored by the sys-
tem ECU. Contact the Lancia Dealer-
ship to have new keys (up to max.
eight) with the code stored in them.OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turn-
ing the ignition key to MAR, the Lan-
cia CODE system control unit sends
an acknowledgement code to the en-
gine control unit to deactivate the in-
hibitor. The code is sent only if the
control unit of the Lancia CODE sys-
tem has acknowledged the code re-
ceived from the key. Each time the ig-
nition key is turned to STOP, the
Lancia CODE system deactivates the
functions of the electronic engine con-
trol unit.
If, during ignition, the code is not cor-
rectly recognized, a warning light
Yis lit on the instrument panel.The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is submitted
to sharp knocks.

❒If the warning lightYturns on,
the system is running a self-test
(such as following a voltage fail-
ure). If the problem persists, con-
tact the Lancia Dealership.

IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. sound system, power
windows, etc.) work regularly.
❒MAR: driving position. All electri-
cal devices work regularly.
❒AV V: engine starting (unstable po-
sition).
The ignition switch is fitted with an
electronic safety system that turns the
ignition key back to position STOPif
the engine will not start, before re-
peating the starting operation.
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket works
be carried out, because they may
cause tampering with the driving
system or steering column (e.g. in-
stallation of anti-theft device),
which may lead to reduced system
performances and loss of the war-
ranty as well as safety-specific
problems and non-compliance
with the car type-approval.
WARNING
fig. 21L0D0021m
If the ignition system is
tampered with (e.g. after
an attempted theft), address a
Lancia Dealership to have the sys-
tem checked before starting off.
WARNING
Always remove the key
from the car when leaving
it in order to prevent accidental en-
gagement of the controls. Remem-
ber to engage the handbrake. En-
gage first gear if the car is parked
uphill or reverse if the car is
parked downhill. Never leave chil-
dren unattended in the car.
WARNING
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engagement
When the key is in position STOP, re-
move the key and turn the steering
wheel until it is locked.
Disengagement
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.
Never extract the key while
the car is moving. The
steering wheel would be locked as
soon as the steering wheel is turned.
This also applies to cases in which
the car is towed.
