IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the "belts fastened" warning lights will
be lit with a constant green light while those for
the belts unfastened will be lit with a constant red
light. If the last belt is also fastened, the the
warning lights will remain lit with a steady green
light for about 30 seconds then they will switch
off.
PRETENSIONERSThe car is equipped with front seat belt
pretensioners, which draw back the seat belts by
several centimetres in the event of a strong frontal
impact. This guarantees the perfect adherence of
the seat belts to the occupants bodies before
the retention action begins. It is evident that the
pretensioners have operated when the belt
withdraws toward the reel. This car is also
equipped with a second pretensioner (in the kick
plate area). Its activation is signalled by the
shortening of the metal cable. 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.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning
device, wear the seat belt tight to the chest and
pelvis.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any changes to its
original conditions will invalidate its efficiency. If,
due to unusual natural events (floods, sea storms,
etc.), the device has been affected by water and
mud, it must be replaced.

WARNING
Press the clutch pedal fully to change
gears correctly.
It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat and
do not get in the way of the pedals.Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted,
even if slight, could lead over time to
premature wear of the gearbox internal
components.
FUEL SAVINGSHere are some suggestions which may help you to
save fuel and lower the amount of harmful
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once every 4
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the car and its arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.

WARNING
If the
warning light switches on
when the vehicle is travelling (on
certain versions together with the message
on the display) stop the engine immediately
and contact a Lancia Dealership.
2. Engine oil deteriorated
(only Diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific
message will appear on the display (in versions/
markets, where provided). The warning light may
flash in the following ways, depending on the
version:
❒1 minute every two hours;
❒cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the
warning light off for 5 seconds until the oil
is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start up
the warning light will continue flashing as
described above until the oil is changed. For
(versions/markets where provided), the display
shows a dedicated message together with the
warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be
considered as a fault, it simply informs the
customer that the oil needs to be changed
following normal car use.Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil
is accelerated by:
❒mainly town use of the car which makes the
DPF regeneration process more frequent;
❒use of the car for short drives, in which the
engine does not have time to reach its regular
operating temperature;
❒repeated interruption of the regeneration
process, signalled by the DPF warning light
coming on.
WARNING
If the warning light comes on, the
exhausted engine oil
should be
changed as soon as possible; never drive
more than 500 km from the first
switching-on of this warning light. Failure to
observe the above may result in severe
damage to the engine and invalidate the
warranty. Remember that when the warning
light comes on, it does not mean that the
level of engine oil is low, so if the light
flashes you do not need to top up the engine
oil.

WARNING
If you change the type of wheel (alloy
rims instead of
steel rims and vice
versa) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably
sized bolts.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance
with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay away
from on-coming traffic while the wheel is
being changed. On hills or uneven roads, use
chocks or appropriate objects to block the
wheels of the car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics will
be modified with
the space-saver
wheel fitted. Avoid sudden starting or
stopping, sharp or fast turns. The total life of
a space-saver wheel is approximately 3000
km, after which it must be replaced by
another wheel of the same type. Never install
a standard tyre on a rim that is designed
for use with a space-saver wheel. Have the
tyre repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before fitting
them: they might slip out.
