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.

PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the
fuel filler is too small to introduce the
beak of a leaded petrol pump. The
petrol octane rating (RON) must not
be lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst
leads to harmful exhaust emissions,
thus contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amounts or in an emer-
gency, as this would damage the cat-
alyst beyond repair. GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost
care to avoid obstacles that may
be located above or below the
sensors.
❒Objects located near the rear of
the car, under certain circum-
stances are not detected and could
therefore cause damage to the car
or be damaged.
❒Indications sent by the sensors
can be altered by dirt, snow or ice
deposited on the sensors or by ul-
trasound systems (e.g.: truck
pneumatic brakes or pneumatic
hammers) nearby the car. To guarantee the effective
operation of the system, the
sensors must be kept clean
at all times. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the sensors
while cleaning them. Avoid using
dry, rough or hard cloths. Clean the
sensors with clean water with the
addition of car shampoo if neces-
sary. At car wash centres that use
steam or high pressure water jets,
clean the sensors quickly keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away.
The driver is, however, al-
ways held responsible for
parking and other dangerous ma-
noeuvres. When carrying out this
manoeuvre, ensure that there are
no people, animals or object within
the manoeuvring area. Parking
sensors are designed to assist dri-
vers: in all cases, you must always
pay the utmost attention during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres.

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.

Never leave children unat-
tended in the car. Always
