the car battery is flat or the electric tailgate lock is faulty,
proceed as follows (see “Extending the boot”).
❍remove the rear head restraints;
❍fold over the backrests;
❍operate lever A to unlock the tailgate mechanically
from inside the luggage compartment.EXTENDING THE BOOT
IMPORTANT If the rear seat backrest is folded down, re-
leasing the rear curtains of the parcel shelf is strictly com-
pulsory (follow the specific indications in the “Parcel
shelf” paragraph).

or totally extended by splitting the rear seat fig. 59.
Proceed as follows to extend the luggage compartment:
❍completely lower the rear seat head restraints;
❍move the seat belt to the side, making sure that it is
fully extended and not twisted;

USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer,
observe the following instructions:
❍when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate and
bonnet are closed properly, to prevent any light from
remaining on inside the passenger’s compartment;
❍turn off the roof lights, although the car does have an
automatic system for switching off internal lights;
❍do not leave devices (e.g. car radio, hazard lights, etc.)
switched on for a long time when the engine is not
running;
❍before performing any operation on the electrical sys-
tem, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❍battery terminals should always be perfectly tight-
ened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50% for
a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation, re-
ducing its capacity and starting attitude.The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can
happen as early as −10 °C). In the case of prolonged idle-
ness, refer to the paragraph “Car inactivity”, in chapter
“3”.
If you decide to install electrical accessories after the car
has been purchased which require a permanent electric
power supply (alarm, etc.) or accessories which have
a serious impact on the electrical balance, seek assistance
from a Lancia Dealership because their qualified staff will
suggest the most suitable Lancia Lineaccessori devices
and assess the overall electric consumption, checking
whether the car’s electrical system can cope or whether
a more powerful battery is required.
Since these devices continue to consume energy even when
the engine is off, they gradually run down the battery.
