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.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for
longer than a month, the following
precautions should be noted:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if
possible well-ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not
engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery
terminal and check battery charge.
Repeat this check once every three
months during storage. Recharge
the battery if the optical indicator
shows a dark colour without the
central green area;❒clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds
readily available;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rub-
ber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the
glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the car with a fabric or per-
forated plastic terrapin. Do not use
compact plastic sheets which do not
allow humidity to evaporate from
the surface of the car.❒inflate tyres to a pressure of +0,5
bar above the normal specified
pressure and check it at intervals;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery
from the electric system, check its
charge every month and recharge it
if the optical indicator shows a dark
colour without the central green
area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling sys-
tem.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light ¬does not turn on or if it stays on
when travelling (together with the
message on the multifunctional
display, where provided) there
could be a failure in safety sys-
tems; in this event air bags or pre-
tensioners may not be deployed in
case of impact or, in a minor num-
ber of cases, they be deployed ac-
cidentally. Contact Lancia Dealer-
ship immediately to have the sys-
tem checked.
Failure of warning light
¬is indicated by warning
light“which will blink for longer
than the normal 4 seconds indicat-
ing that the front passenger airbag
is off. The airbag system will au-
tomatically deactivate the passen-
ger airbag (front and side, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided). In
this case, warning light
¬may not
indicate fault to the system. Con-
tact Lancia Dealership immedi-
ately to have the system checked.
WARNING
WARNING
HOT ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after
a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the
engine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on, proceed
as follows:
❒during normal travel: stop the
car, stop the engine and check that
the water level in the vessel is not
under the MINline. In this case,
wait for a few minutes for the en-
gine to cool down when slowly and
carefully open the cap, top-up with
coolant and check that the level is
between the MINandMAXrefer-
ences on the vessel itself. Also check
for leakages. Go to a Lancia Deal-
ership if the warning should come
on when the engine is started again.
u
❒In the case of demanding use
(e.g. towing trailers uphill or car at
full load): slow down and stop the
car if the warning light stays on.
Stand for 2 or 3 minutes with the
engine running and slightly acceler-
ated to promote a better circulation
of coolant. Then stop the engine.
Check correct liquid level as de-
scribed above.
IMPORTANT After taxing operation,
it is advisable to keep the engine on
and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
LOW BATTERY
CHARGE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go out as
soon as the engine is started (with the
engine running at idle speed a brief
delay in going out is allowed). Go to
a Lancia Dealership immediately if
the warning light stays on.

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
