USING THE

GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and shift the gear lever
into one of the required positions (the
diagram is shown on the knob).
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be
engaged when the car is at a stand-
still. With the engine running, wait for
at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
To engage sixth gear (where pro-
vided), operate the lever by pressing
it towards the right in order to avoid
engaging fourth gear by mistake. The
same applies when shifting from sixth
to fifth gear.
To engage reverse Rfrom neutral, lift
the sliding collar A-fig. 2-3 under the
knob while shifting the lever towards
the right and then backwards (only
for petrol versions).
For Multijet versions, only shift the
lever towards the right and then back-
wards.

Do not drive with the hand
resting on the gear lever,
because this pressure, even
if light, over time can wear
gear inner components.
Press the clutch pedal
fully to change gears cor-
rectly. For this reason, there must
be no obstacles on the floor under
the pedals: ensure that rubber mats
(if any) are correctly positioned,
not interfering with the pedals.

❒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.
