2010 Lancia Delta power steering

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR117
1
IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and is caused by a system to prevent the
motor from overheating. No servicing is required. The
power steering system will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car may be equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring
system (T.P.M.S.). This system comprises a radio fre-
quency transmitter fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim
inside the tyre), which is able to send information on the
tyre inflation pressure of each wheel to the control unit.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE
T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
The fault indications are not stored and will therefore not
be displayed after the engine has been switched off and
then on again. If the fault conditions persist, the control
unit will send the relative indications to the instrument
panel only after the vehicle has been in motion for a short
time.
Before servicing the car, always switch off the
engine and remove the key from the ignition
to activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels do not touch the
ground. If this is not possible (the key must be on
MAR or the engine must be running), remove the
main fuse that protects the electric power steering.
The T.P.M.S.system is not able to detect sud-
den tyre inflation pressure losses (for exam-
ple when a tyre explodes). In this case stop
the car, braking with care and avoiding sharp steer-
ing actions.

166STARTING UP AND DRIVING
STARTING THE ENGINE
The car is provided with an electronic engine lock device:
refer to “The Lancia CODE system” paragraph in chap-
ter “1” if you cannot start the engine.
The engine may be noisier during the first few seconds
of operation, particularly after a long period of inactivi-
ty. This does not impair functionality and reliability and
is typical of hydraulic tappets: the distribution system
selected for the petrol engine of your car in order to lim-
it the maintenance required.
In the first period of use, we recommend
avoiding excessive stress for the car (for in-
stance excessive accelerations, extended trav-
el at maximum speed, sudden braking etc.).
With engine off, do not leave the key in the ig-
nition switch on MAR to prevent draining the
battery.
Is is dangerous to let the engine run in en-
closed spaces. The engine depletes oxygen and
discharges carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
and other toxic gases.
Remember that the brake servo and electric
power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, therefore more effort
than usual is required on the brake pedal and steer-
ing wheel.

IN AN EMERGENCY177

If after several attempts the engine will not start, do not
keep trying but contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never connect the negative terminals of the
two batteries directly: sparks could ignite explosive gas re-
leased from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is installed
on another car, prevent accidental contact between metal-
lic parts of the two cars.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or dri-
ving downhill.
This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic convert-
er and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and the
power steering system (if present) are not operative until
the engine is started, a greater effort will therefore be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.QUICK TYRE REPAIR KIT -
FIX & GO AUTOMATIC
The quick tyre repair kitFix & Go automatic is placed in
the luggage compartment.
The kit fig. 2 includes:
❍a cylinder A containing sealing liquid and fitted with:
– a filling pipe B;
– an adhesive label C bearing the words “max. 80
km/h”, to be attached in a position easily visible to
the driver (on the dashboard) after tyre repair;

214IN AN EMERGENCY
TOWING THE CAR
The tow ring provided with the car is housed in the tool
box under the luggage compartment mat.
FASTENING THE TOW RING fig. 43-44
Proceed as follows:
❍release cap A;
❍take the tow hook B from its seat in the tool support;
❍tighten the ring on the rear or front threaded pin.
fig. 43L0E0090mfig. 44L0E0091m
Before starting towing operations, turn the ig-
nition key to MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is extracted, the steer-
ing wheel lock will be automatically activated, thus
preventing steering. The power brakes and the elec-
trical power steering will not work while the car is be-
ing towed. More effort on the brake pedal and steer-
ing wheel will therefore be required. Do not use wires
for towing. Do not jerk. Make sure not to damage parts
in contact with the car while towing. Respect the spe-
cific rules of the Highway Code when towing the car
specifically in relation to the towing device and the be-
haviour to maintain on the road. Do not start the en-
gine while towing the car.
