If the Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) is blinking,
this means that the vehicle is not protected by the engine in-
hibitor device (see “Lancia Code system” in chapter 1).
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have all the keys stored.
Alarm failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
A fault with the alarm system is signalled by this warn-
ing light (or symbol in the display) coming on. Contact a
Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Break-in attempt
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display) comes on
when a break-in attempt is detected. Contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.
The display will show a dedicated message.The warning light (amber), or symbol on the display (red),
lights up when the inflation pressure of one or more tyres
falls below a preset level. In this way the T.P.M.S. system warns
the driver that one or more tyres may be dangerously flat and
liable to puncture (see “ T.P.M.S. system” in this chapter).
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more
tyres flat as vehicle driveability may be compromised. Stop
the car, avoiding harsh braking or steering manoeuvres. Re-
place the wheel immediately with the small spare wheel (for
versions/markets, where provided) or carry out a repair us-
ing the dedicated kit (see the paragraph on “Replacing a
wheel” in chapter 4) and contact a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.
Check tyre pressure
This warning light (for versions/markets, where provid-
ed) comes on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
it should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light (or symbol in the display) lights up to
indicate that a tyre is flat (see “T.P.M.S. system ” in this
chapter).
Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will show the
indications corresponding to each tyre in sequence. Restore
the correct inflation pressure values as soon as possible (see
paragraph “Cold inflation pressures” in chapter “6”). Insufficient tyre inflation pressure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
comes on when the ignition key is turned to MAR,
but it should go off after a few seconds.

IMPORTANT The engine inhibitor function is guaranteed
by the Lancia CODE, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is extracted from the starter de-
vice.
SWITCHING ON THE ALARM
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with the
remote control towards the vehicle and press and release
button
Á.
Excluding some versions for specific markets, the system
produces an acoustic warning (beep) and enables door
locking.
Before the alarm is enabled, a self-diagnosis test is run:
if a fault is detected, the system emits another sound warn-
ing and a message is shown on the display, (see “Instru-
ment panel warning lights”).
In this case switch off the alarm by pressing
Ë, check that
all the doors, bonnet and tailgate are closed correctly; then
switch the alarm back on by pressing
Á.
If a door or the bonnet is not correctly closed, it will be ex-
cluded from the testing by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the
doors, bonnet and tailgate are correctly closed, a failure
has occurred in system operation. Contact a Lancia Deal-
ership.IMPORTANT Centrally locking the doors using the met-
al insert on the key does not activate the alarm.
IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is configured in com-
pliance with the regulations existing in the different coun-
tries.
SWITCHING OFF THE ALARM
Press button
Ëon the key with the remote control.
The following operations are performed (excluding some
versions for specific markets):
❍the direction indicators flash twice;
❍two brief acoustic signals are emitted (“BEEP”);
❍the doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is re-
leased using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not
disabled.

FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This system intervenes in the event of a collision, acti-
vating:
❍cut off of fuel supply with resultant engine shut down;
❍automatic door lock release;
❍activation of all lights inside the car.
When the system has been triggered, the message “Fuel
cut off, see handbook” is displayed.
Carefully check the car for fuel leaks, for instance in the
engine compartment, under the car or near the tank area.
Following a collision, turn the ignition key to STOP to
avoid draining the battery.To reset car operation, follow this procedure:
❍turn the ignition key to MAR;
❍activate the right-hand indicator;

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) pro-
vides a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related com-
ponents. It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
U
warning light on the instrument panel together with a mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multifunctional display, when
these components are no longer in peak condition (see “In-
strument panel warning lights”).
The objective is:
❍to keep system efficiency under control;
❍to signal a fault which causes emission levels to in-
crease;
❍to signal the need to replace deteriorated components.
The system also has a diagnostic connector that can be in-
terfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it possible
to read the error codes stored in the control unit together
with a series of specific parameters for engine operation
and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the problem, to check the
system completely, Lancia Dealerships are obliged to run
a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which may also
call for a long journey.
Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible if warning light
Ueither does not light
up when the key is turned to MAR or if,
while travelling, the warning light comes on either
steadily or blinking (along with a message on the
reconfigurable multifunctional display). The op-
eration of warning light
Umay be checked by the
traffic police using specific devices. Respect the
laws in force in the country where you are driving.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
This is an electrically controlled power steering system
called “Dualdrive”. It is only operational with the ignition
key turned to MAR and the engine running; it can be cus-
tomised by the driver according to the driving conditions.
IMPORTANT If the ignition key is turned very quickly,
it may take 1-2 seconds before full power steering func-
tionality can be achieved.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If, after buying the car, you decide to install electrical ac-
cessories that require a permanent electrical supply (alarm,
satellite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories that in any
case burden the electric supply, contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship. Their qualified personnel, besides being able to sug-
gest the most suitable devices from the Lineaccessori Lan-
cia, will also evaluate the overall electric uptake, check-
ing whether the car’s electrical system is able to withstand
the required load, or whether a more powerful battery
needs to be installed.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiv-
ing devices provided that they are installed according to
rules of good engineering practice in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and at a specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the car on the
road if devices have been fitted which modify the features
of the car. This may also invalidate the warranty if faults
occur that are either directly or indirectly related to the
installation of these devices. Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A.
shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation
of accessories either not supplied or not recommended
by Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. and/or not installed in
compliance with the provided instructions. INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the
car, and also in the event of after-market service, must car-
ry the following label:

174STARTING UP AND DRIVING
Keep your speed down when snow chains are
fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
steps and pavements and avoid also driving
for long distances on roads not covered with snow
to avoid damaging the car and the roadbed.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
Snow chains may be applied only to the front wheel tyres
(drive wheels).
Check the tension of the chains after the first few metres
have been driven.
IMPORTANT The spare wheel cannot be fitted with snow
chains. If the front tyre has a puncture, replace a rear wheel
with the spare wheel and move the rear wheel to the front
axle. This way, having two standard size wheels on the
front axle, is it possible to fit the chains.
EXTENDED CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, the
following precautions should be observed:
❍park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-ven-
tilated place;
❍engage a gear;
❍check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❍disconnect battery negative terminal and check the bat-
tery charge (see paragraph “Battery - Charge and elec-
trolyte level check” in chapter “5”);
❍clean and protect the painted parts of the vehicle with
protective wax;
❍clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds readily available;
❍sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
❍slightly open the windows;
❍cover the car with a fabric or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use compact plastic sheets which do not allow
humidity to evaporate from the surface of the car;
❍inflate the tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the
normal specified pressure and check the pressure at
regular intervals;
❍do not drain the engine cooling system.
165-174 Delta 3ed gb 11-11-2009 12:10 Pagina 174

182IN AN EMERGENCY
❍after driving for about 10 minutes, stop and check the
tyre pressure again; remember to engage the hand-
brake;❍if, on the other hand, a pressure of at least 1.8 bar pres-
sure is read, restore the correct pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and continue driving;
❍drive with the utmost care to the nearest Lancia Deal-
ership.
Apply the adhesive label in a position clear-
ly visible by the driver as a reminder that the
tyre has been treated with the quick repair
kit. Drive carefully, particularly on bends. Do not
exceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate and brake sud-
denly.
Stop if the pressure has dropped to less than
1.8 bars: The automatic Fix & Go fast repair
kit cannot work properly because the tyre is
excessively damaged. Contact a Lancia Dealership.
Remember to inform the workshop that the
tyre has been treated with a quick repair kit.
Give the instruction booklet to the tyre repair
workshop personnel.
