late how much particulates has been
trapped by the filter. Since this filter
physically traps particulate, it should
be regenerated (cleaned) at regular in-
tervals by burning carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is con-
trolled automatically by the engine
management control unit according to
the filter conditions and vehicle use
conditions. The following phenomena
may occur during the regeneration:
limited increase of idle speed, activation
of electric fan, limited increase of
smoke, high temperatures at the ex-
haust. These are not faults; they do not
impair vehicle performance or damage
the environment. If the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed, refer to section
“Warning lights and messages”.PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run,
even for a test, with one or more spark
plugs disconnected.
The devices for reducing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF)
DPF (DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER)
(for 1.3 Multijet 90 HP - 1.3 Multijet
95 HP versions)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a me-
chanical filter, integral with the exhaust
system, that physically traps particu-
lates present in the exhaust gases of
Diesel engines. The diesel particular fil-
ter has been adopted to eliminate al-
most totally particulates in compliance
with current / future law regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the
engine control unit records a set of data
(e.g.: travel time, type of route, tem-
peratures, etc.) and it will then calcu- When refuelling, fasten the cap to the
device inside the flap as shown in the
diagram.
IMPORTANT The airtight sealing of
the tank may cause a slight vacuum.
A suction noise when you release the
cap is therefore entirely normal.
After refuelling, fasten the cap by
turning it clockwise until you hear it
click, then turn the key clockwise ad
remove the key from the flap.
Do not approach naked
flames or lit cigarettes to
the fuel filler: fire risk. Keep your
face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
The catalytic converter de-
velops high temperature
during operation. Do not park on
grass, dry leaves, pine needles or
other flammable material: fire
risk.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of
your vehicle down and lower the
amount of toxic emissions released
into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Service
schedule”.
Ty r e s
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption
because rolling resistance will be
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
boot. The weight of the car (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These acces-
sories decrease aerodynamic penetra-
tion of the car and have a negative ef-
fect on consumption. It is better to use
a trailer to transport particularly
bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the
amount of time needed. Rear heated
window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, there-
fore increasing the requirement of
current increases fuel consumption
(up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires
higher fuel consumption (up to +20%
in average): use the air vents when the
external temperature allows to.
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 engine warms up
very slowly in these conditions, in-
creasing 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 dou-
bling the clutch, is unnecessary and
causes increase of consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic
and road conditions allow. Using a
low gear for faster acceleration will in-
crease consumption.
In the same way improper use of a
high gear increases consumption,
emissions an engine wear.

turned to MAR to if while travelling
the warning lights comes on either
steady or blinking (along with a
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, where provided). The opera-
tion of warning light
Umay be
checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are
driving.
FRONT PASSENGER
AIRBAG
DEACTIVATED
(amber)
Warning light “comes on when front
passenger’s airbag is deactivated.
With the front passenger’s airbag on,
when the ignition key is moved to
MAR, the warning light “comes on
steadily for about 4 seconds; then, it
continues to flash for 4 seconds and
finally goes off.
“
Failure of the warning
light“is indicated by
warning light
¬. The airbag sys-
tem will automatically deactivate
the passenger airbag (front and
side, “). Contact Lancia Dealership
immediately to have the system
checked.
WARNING
EOBD engine control system
failure
In normal conditions, when the igni-
tion key is moved to MAR, the warn-
ing light turns on and should go off
after engine start-up. This indicates
that the warning light is working cor-
rectly. If the warning light either stays
on or comes on while travelling:
❒steady light: a fault in the supply/
ignition system which could cause
high emissions at the exhaust, pos-
sible lack of performance, poor
handling and high consumption
levels.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
In these conditions, you may continue
travelling at moderate speed without
demanding excessive effort from the
engine. Prolonged use of the car with
the warning light on may cause dam-
age. Go to a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible. If warning light will
go out after the fault goes away but it
will be stored in the system.
❒blinking light: indicates the possi-
bility of damage to the catalyser
(see “EOBD system” in section
“Dashboard and controls”). If the light flashes, release the accel-
erator pedal to lower the speed of the
engine until the warning light stops
flashing; continue the journey at mod-
erate speed, trying to avoid driving
conditions that may cause further
flashing and contact Lancia Dealer-
ship as soon as possible.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for
ensuring long car life under the best
conditions.
This is why Lancia has planned a se-
ries of checks and maintenance oper-
ations every 20,000 km.
Scheduled servicing will not however
fully cover all of the need of your car:
It is however important to remember
that scheduled servicing does not
completely cover all the car’s require-
ments: also in the initial period before
20.000 km service coupon and later,
between one coupon and another, or-
dinary care is still required such as for
example routine check and topping
up the level of fluids, tyre pressure
check, etc.IMPORTANT Scheduled service
coupons are required by the manu-
facturer. Default may cancel the war-
ranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by
all Lancia Dealerships at pre-estab-
lished times.If during each operation, in addition
to the ones programmed, the need
arises for further replacements or re-
pairs, these may only be carried out
with the explicit agreement of the
Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to con-
tact Lancia Dealership in the event of
any minor operating faults, without
waiting for the next service coupon.
If your car is used frequently for tow-
ing, the interval between one service
coupon and the other must be re-
duced.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the
following:
❒atmospheric pollution;
❒salty air and humidity (coastal ar-
eas, or hot humid climates);
❒seasonal environment conditions.
Not to be underestimated is also the
abrasive action of wind-borne atmos-
pheric dust and sand and mud and
gravel raised by other cars.
On your vehicle, Lancia has imple-
mented the best manufacturing tech-
nologies to effectively protect the
bodywork against corrosion.
