STARTING UP AND DRIVING171

Accessories fitted on longitudinal bars
Remove any accessories such as: longitudinal bars, ski
racks, luggage rack, from the roof if they are not being
used. These accessories decrease aerodynamic penetration
and have a negative effect on fuel consumption. It is bet-
ter to use a trailer to transport particularly bulky objects.
Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time needed.
The heated rear windscreen, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount
of energy; increasing the requirement of current increas-
es fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system leads to higher fuel consump-
tion (up to +20% on average): use air vents only when the
external temperature allows.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may adversely
affect air drag and fuel consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the car standing: the en-
gine warms up very slowly in these conditions, increas-
ing fuel 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 doubling the
clutch, is unnecessary and causes increased fuel con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road conditions
allow. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase
fuel consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases
fuel consumption, emissions and engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed in-
creases. Keep your speed as even as possible, avoiding un-
necessary braking and acceleration, which cause excessive
fuel consumption and increased emissions.

Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure, if
they break, glass fragments may be dis-
persed.IMPORTANT A slight misting may appear on the inter-
nal surface of the headlight: this does not indicate a fault
and is caused by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights indicates water penetration. Contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp or after
hard rain or after washing, the area of headlamps or rear
lights, may steam up and/or form drops of condensation
on the inside. This is a natural phenomenon due to the dif-
ference in temperature and humidity between the inside
and the outside of the glass which does not indicate a fault
and does not compromise the normal operation of light-
ing devices. The mist disappears quickly turning the lights
on, starting from the centre of the diffuser, extending pro-
gressively towards the edges.
When handling halogen bulbs, only touch the
metal part. Touching the transparent part of
the bulb with your fingers may reduce the in-
tensity of the emitted light and even compromise the
life of the lamp. In the event of accidental contact,
wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol
and leave it to dry.
Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs
changed at a Lancia Dealership. The correct
operation and orientation of the external
lights is essential for safe driving. You may be li-
able to fines if this is not the case.

REPLACING EXTERIOR BULBS
FRONT LIGHT CLUSTERS fig. 15
These contain the bulbs for the dipped beams, main beams
and direction indicators. The bulbs are arranged as fol-
lows:
A. Main beam headlights;
B. Dipped beam headlights;
C. Direction indicators.DIPPED BEAM HEADLIGHTS
With incandescent bulbs
To change the bulb, proceed as follows:
❍remove the protective cover B-fig. 15;
❍release the bulb holder clip A-fig. 16;
❍disconnect the electrical connector B;
❍remove the bulb C and replace it;
❍fit the new bulb, ensuring that the outline of the met-
al part coincides with the grooves on the curve of the
headlight. Then reconnect the electrical connector B
and reattach the bulb holding clip A;
❍refit the protective cover A-fig. 15.

discharge bulbs (Xenon) should only be re-
placed by specialised personnel: risk of death!
