IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electric de-
vices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) may
work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electric
devices may work.
❒AV V: engine starting (unstable po-
sition).
The ignition switch is fitted with a
safety system that, in the event the en-
gine is not started, turns back the ig-
nition key to STOPbefore repeating
the starting operation.
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of alarm) be carried
out that could badly affect perfor-
mance and safety. This also causes
the warranty to become null and
void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.
WARNING
fig. 19L0D0021m
If the ignition device is
tampered with (e.g.: at-
tempted theft), have it checked over
by a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Always remove the key
when you leave your car to
prevent someone from accidentally
operating the controls. Remember
to apply the handbrake. Engage
first gear if the car is parked up-
hill or reverse if the car is parked
downhill. Never leave children un-
attended in the car.
WARNING
STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is in position STOP, re-
move the key and turn the steering
wheel until it is locked.
Switching off
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.
Never extract the key while
the vehicle is moving. The
steering wheel would be locked as
soon as the steering wheel is turned.
This also applies to when the car is
towed.

INSTRUMENTS
SPEEDOMETER Fig. 20
This indicates the vehicle speed.
REV COUNTER Fig. 21
This indicates the engine revolution
per minute.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the
flow of fuel when the engine is ‘over-
revving’ resulting in a gradual loss of
engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may indicate a gradual or
sudden increase of the speed.
This is normal and does not indicate
a fault. It may be caused, for exam-
ple, by the operation of the climate
control system or fan. In these case, a
slow change in engine speed is used to
protect the battery charge.The reserve warning light Aturns on
to indicate that approximately
6 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the tank nearly
empty: lack of fuel supply could dam-
age the catalyser. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE Fig. 22
The instrument shows the litres of fuel
contained in the tank (see the “Refu-
elling” paragraph for a description).

The car can be equipped with the mul-

COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 23
Warning light Aindicates overheating
of the engine coolant. In this case, stop
the engine and contact a Lancia Deal-
ership. This shows the temperature of
the engine coolant fluid and starts
working when the fluid temperature ex-
ceeds approx. 50°C. In normal condi-
tions, the needle may point to different
positions according to use and the en-
gine cooling system management.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to
the lowest value of the scale (low tem-
perature) and warning light Awill
light up to indicate a fault in the sys-
tem. Go to a Lancia Dealership to
have the system checked.
If the needle reaches the red
area, stop the engine imme-
diately and contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.

New mission
The new mission begins after:
– “manual” resetting by the user, by
pressing the relevant button;
– “automatic” resetting, when the
“Trip distance” reaches 9999.9 km or
when the “Travel time” reaches 99.59
(99 hours and 59 minutes);
– after disconnecting/reconnecting the

IMPORTANT “General Trip” resets
will reset “Trip B” at the same time,
while resetting “Trip B” will only re-
set the values of the trip B function. Average speed
This shows the car average speed as a
function of the overall time elapsed
since the start of the new mission.
Journey time
This value shows the time elapsed
since the start of the new mission.
IMPORTANT If information is not
available, the message “----” will ap-
pear instead of the Trip Computer
values. Displaying of the values will
be resumed when normal operation is
restored without resetting the values
displayed before the problem nor
starting a new mission.

values
– long push to reset and then start a
new mission. Values displayed
Range
This indicates the indicative distance
which may be travelled with the fuel in
the tank assuming that driving condi-
tions do not change. The display will
show the reading “----“ when the fol-
lowing events take place:
– range lower than 50 km (or 30
miles) or fuel level less than 4 litres in
the tank;
– car left parked with engine running
for a long time.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission.
Average consumption
This indicates the indicative average
consumption from the start of the new
mission.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption.
The value is constantly updated. The
message “----” will appear on the dis-
play if the car is parked with the en-
gine running.

ADJUSTING THE
STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel can be adjusted in
heightA-fig. 52and in depth B.
To carry out the adjustment, proceed
as follows:
❒release the lever by pulling it to-
wards the steering wheel (position
2);
❒adjust the steering wheel as re-
quired;
❒release the lever by pushing it for-
wards (position 1);
Saddle-shaped rear head
restraints optimise visibil-
ity and must always be raised it
when an occupant is present.
WARNING
fig. 52L0D0382m
Any adjustment of the
steering wheel position
must be carried out only with the
car stationary and the engine
turned off.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of
anti-theft device) that could badly
affect performance and safety,
cause the lapse of warranty and
also result in non-compliance of
the car with homologation require-
ments.
WARNING
The head restraints must
be adjusted so that they
support your neck and not your
head. Only in this way may they
perform their protective action.
WARNING
To optimise head restraint
protective action, adjust
the seat back upright and keep
your head as close as possible to
the head restraint.
WARNING
To refit the head restraint,
arrange it the right way
and then proceed as for checking
that it is locked.
