KNOWING YOUR CAR105
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
IMPORTANT The steering may become stiffer during
parking manoeuvres including a great deal of steering.
This is normal and caused by the system preventing the
electric control motor overheating. No repairs are needed.
The power steering system will start working normally
again the next time the car is used.Under no circumstances should aftermarket
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft device). This could
negatively affect performance and safety, invali-
date the warranty, cause serious safety problems
and also result in vehicle non-compliance with
type-approval requirements.
Before servicing the car, switch off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition device
to activate the steering lock. This is espe-
cially important when the car wheels are not touch-
ing the ground. If this is not possible (e.g. if the key
must be kept in the MAR position or the engine must
be kept running), remove the electric power steering
system main fuse.On some versions, with the CITY function
activated, the SPORT function is not avail-
able. To activate the SPORT function, deactivate
the CITY function and vice versa, because they are
reciprocally incompatible.

124KNOWING YOUR CAR
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 start working normally again
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 monitor-
ing system. This system comprises a radio frequency
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 TPMS 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 in-
strument panel only after the vehicle has been in motion
for a short time.
Before starting any servicing operation, stop
the engine and remove the key from the igni-
tion switch to operate the steering lock, par-
ticularly when the wheels do not touch the ground.
If this is not possible (e.g. if the key must be kept in
the MAR position or the engine must be kept run-
ning), remove the electric power steering system
main fuse.
The TPMS is not able to warn you of sud-
den tyre pressure losses (for example when
a tyre bursts). In this case stop the car, brak-
ing with care and avoiding sharp steering actions.

152SAFETY
PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of seat belts, the car is fitted
with pretensioners which, in the event of a violent frontal
impact, rewind the belt a few centimetres ensuring that
it adheres perfectly to the occupant before the restrain-
ing action begins. The seat belt locks to indicate that the
device has intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn back
up even when is guided it manually.
This car is equipped with a second pretensioner (in the
kick plate area). Its activation is signalled by the short-
ening of the metal cable.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of protection
from the action of the pretensioning device, wear the seat
belt keeping it tight to the chest and pelvis.
A slight discharge of smoke may be produced during the
activation of the pretensioner which is not in harmful and
does not involve any fire hazard. The pretensioner does
not require any maintenance or lubrication. Anything
that modifies its original conditions invalidates its effi-
ciency. If unusual natural events (e.g. floods, sea storms,
etc.) have caused the device to be contaminated by wa-
ter and mud, it must be replaced.
The pretensioner can only be used once. Go
to a Lancia Dealership to have it replaced
after it has been deployed. The device expiry
date is shown on the label on the edge of the door
panel: contact a Lancia Dealership when this date
approaches.
Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations
or localised heating (over 100 °C for a max-
imum of 6 hours) in the area around the pre-
tensioners may cause damage or trigger them.
These devices are not affected by vibrations caused
by irregularities of the road surface or low obsta-
cles such as kerbs, etc. Contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship for any assistance.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger safety, the front seat belt reels con-
tain a load limiter which allows controlled sag in such
a way as to dose the force acting on the chest and shoul-
ders during the belt restraining action in the event of front
collisions.

IN AN EMERGENCY187
4
In the event of a puncture caused by foreign
bodies, the kit may be used to repair tyres
showing damages on the track or shoulder
up to max. 4 mm diameter.
Give the instruction booklet to the personnel
charged with handling the treated tyre.
The kit cannot be used to repair damage to
the tyre sidewall. Do not use the quick repair
kit if the tyre is damaged as the vehicle has
run on a flat tyre.
If the wheel rim is damaged (bad groove dis-
tortion causing air leakage) it cannot be re-
paired. Do not remove the foreign body
(screw or nail) from the tyre.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is effective
with external temperatures between −20 °C and +50 °C.
The sealing fluid will expire.
Do not operate the compressor for longer
than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk of over-
heating. The quick repair kit is not suitable
for definitive repairs. Tyres may only be repaired
temporarily.

244SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are con-
cerned, follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme” in
this chapter carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in
the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
hoses, with possible leaks. Careful checking is therefore
necessary.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPER
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In any case, it is advisable to replace them approximately
once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of
damage to the blades:
❍make sure that the rubber part is not frozen to the
windscreen in sub-zero temperatures. Use an an-
tifreeze product to release it if required;
❍remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents effort from the motor
and overheating;
❍do not operate the windscreen and the rear screen
wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a seri-
ous hazard, because visibility is reduced
in bad weather.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE249

Hard Black versions
Detergents pollute the environment. Only
wash the car in areas equipped for the col-
lection and purification of the fluids used in
the washing process.
Glasses
To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or dam-
aging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently with
a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damag-
ing the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid spraying the water jet
directly onto the electronic control units and the re-
lay/fuse control unit on the left side of the engine com-
partment (as you look from behind the wheel). Have this
operation performed at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position. Af-
ter the washing operation, make sure that the various
protections (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.:
petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning the front
headlight plastic lenses.
In order to preserve the aesthetic appearance
of the paintwork abrasive products and/or pol-
ishes should not be used for cleaning the car.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off imme-
diately and carefully as the acid they contain is particu-
larly aggressive.
It is recommended to avoid washing with
rollers and/or brushes in car wash stations.
Thus, wash the car only by hands using neu-
tral pH detergents; dry it with a wet chamois leather.
Abrasive products and/or polishes should not be used
for cleaning the car. Bird droppings must be washed
off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they con-
tain is particularly aggressive. Avoid (if possible) to
park your car under trees; remove immediately veg-
etable resins as, when dried, they could only be re-
moved with abrasive products and/or polishes that
are not recommended as they could possibly alter the
typical paint opacity. Do not use pure windscreen
washer fluid for cleaning the front windscreen and
rear screen; dilute it min. 50% with water.
