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.

DEVICE DISENGAGEMENT
Turn the knurled ring A-fig. 75to
OFFor the ignition key to STOP. In
addition, the device is automatically
disengaged in one of the following
cases:
❒pressing the brake pedal. TO REDUCE MEMORISED SPEED
The stored speed can be increased in
two ways:
❒disengaging the device and then
memorising the new speed;
or
❒moving the stalk downwards (
–)
until reaching the new speed which
will be memorised automatically.
Each operation of the stalk will cor-
respond to a slight reduction in speed
(about 1 km/h), while keeping the
stalk downwards will correspond to a
continuous speed reduction. RESTORING STORED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged for
example pressing the brake or clutch
pedal, the memorised speed can be re-
set as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching
a speed approaching the one
memorised;
❒engage the gear selected at the
time of speed memorising (4
thor
5thgear);
❒press the button RES B.
TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED
SPEED
The stored speed can be increased
in two ways:
❒pressing the accelerator and then
memorising the new speed
reached;
or
❒moving the stalk upwards (
+).
Each operation of the stalk will cor-
respond to a slight increase in speed
(about 1 km/h), while keeping the
stalk upwards will correspond to a
continuous speed increase.
While travelling with the
device engaged, do not set
the gearshift lever to neutral.
WARNING
In case of malfunctioning or
fault of the device, turn the
knurled ring to OFF and contact the
Lancia Dealership, after checking
that the protection fuse is not blown.

STARTING
THE ENGINE
The car is provided with an electronic
engine lock device: refer to “The Lan-
cia CODE system” paragraph in
“Dashboard and controls” if you can-
not start the engine. The engine may
be noisier during the first seconds of
operation, particularly after a long pe-
riod of inactivity. This does not impair
functionality and reliability and is
typical of hydraulic tappets: the dis-
tribution system selected for the petrol
engines of your car in order to limit
the maintenance required.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accel-
erator;
❒turn the ignition to AV Vand re-
lease the key as soon as the engine
starts.If the engine does not start at the first
attempt, return the ignition key to
STOPbefore repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is on MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
Yremains on together with the
warning light U, turn the key to
STOPand then back to MAR; if the
warning light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
Is is dangerous to let the en-
gine run in enclosed spaces.
The engine depletes the oxygen and
discharges carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
In the first period of use, we
recommend to avoid exces-
sive stress for the car (for in-
stance excessive accelera-
tions, extended travel at maximum
speed, sudden braking etc.).
With engine off, do not leave
the key in the ignition switch
on MAR to prevent draining
the battery.
If you still cannot start the engine,
perform emergency start (see “Emer-
gency start” in chapter “In an emer-
gency”) and then contact a Lancia
Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition
key to MARwhen the engine is off.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
MULTIJET VERSIONS

STARTING
AND
DRIVING
❒turn on; wait for the warning light
Yand
mto turn off (the hot-
ter the engine the shorter the time
it takes to turn off);
❒press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accel-
erator;
❒turn the ignition key to AV Vas
soon as the warning light
mturns
off. Waiting too long will waste the
work done by the glow plugs. Re-
lease the key as soon as the engine
starts.
IMPORTANT When the engine is
cold, rotating the ignition key to AV V,
the accelerator pedal must be com-
pletely released.
If the engine does not start at the first
attempt, return the ignition key to
STOP before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is on MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
Yremains on, turn the key to STOP
and then back to MAR; if the warning
light remains on, try with the other
keys provided with the car.
If you still cannot start the engine,
contact the Lancia Dealership.HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE
AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED
(petrol and Multijet engines)
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine
turn at medium speed. Do not ac-
celerate abruptly;
❒do not demand maximum perfor-
mance for the first few kilometres.
Wait until the engine coolant
gauge starts moving.Warning light
mwill blink
for 60 seconds after starting
or during prolonged crank-
ing to indicate a fault to the
glow plug heating system. Use the car
normally if the engine starts and con-
tact the Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
EMERGENCY START
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on steadily, you can perform
emergency start using the code on the
CODE card (see chapter “In an emer-
gency”).
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOPwhile the en-
gine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive,
you should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by let-
ting it idle to allow the temperature in
the engine compartment to fall.
Never jump start the engine
by pushing, towing or dri-
ving downhill. These actions
could cause the fuel to flow
into the catalytic converter and dam-
age it beyond repair.
Revving up before stopping
the engine is useless, it
causes unnecessary fuel con-
sumption and can damage
the engine, in particular engines
equipped with turbocharger.
IMPORTANT With engine off, do not
leave the key in the ignition switch on
MAR.

USING THE
MECHANICAL
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.

fig. 3L0D0360m
Do not drive with the hand
resting on the gear lever, be-
cause this pressure, even if
light, over time can wear
gear inner components.
Press the clutch pedal fully
to change gears correctly.
For this reason, there must be no
obstacles on the floor under the ped-
als: ensure that rubber mats (if any)
are correctly positioned, not inter-
fering with the pedals.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of
your car down and lower the amount
of toxic emissions released into the at-
mosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Service
schedule”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption
because rolling resistance will be
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
boot. The weight of the car (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affect consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These acces-
sories decrease aerodynamic penetra-
tion of the car and have a negative ef-
fect on consumption. It is better to use
a trailer to transport particularly
bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the
amount of time needed. Rear heated
window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, there-
fore increasing the requirement of
current increases fuel consumption
(up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires
higher fuel consumption (up to +20%
in average): use the air vents when the
external temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag
and consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the
car standing: the engine warms up
very slowly in these conditions, in-
creasing consumption and emissions.
It is advisable to start off immediately
and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much
faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at
traffic lights or before stopping the
engine. The latter action, like dou-
bling the clutch, is unnecessary and
causes increase of consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic
and road conditions allow. Using a
low gear for faster acceleration will in-
crease consumption.
In the same way improper use of a
high gear increases consumption,
emissions an engine wear.
