"ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, following automatic engine restarting, the
driver does not carry out any action on the car for
over 3 minutes, the Start&Stop system stops the
engine once and for all, to prevent fuel
consumption. In these cases, the engine can be
restarted only using the ignition key.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the Start&Stop
system is deactivated. The driver is informed
about the fault through the flashing of the symbol
on the display (for some versions through the
display of a message). In this case, go to a Lancia
Dealership.CAR INACTIVITY
In the event of car inactivity, special attention
must be paid due to the disconnection of the
battery power supply.
Proceed as follows: detach the connector A fig. 70
(by pressing button B) from sensor C for
monitoring the status of the battery installed on
the negative battery pole D. This sensor should
never be disconnected from the pole except if the
battery is replaced.
WARNING
When replacing the battery, always
contact a Lancia
Dealership. Replace
the battery with one of the same type
(HEAVY DUTY) and with the same
specifications.

REFUELLING THE CARVersions equipped with "Smart Fuel" system are
provided with an inhibiter preventing refuelling
with incorrect fuel.
Accidental refuelling with non compliant fuels (for
example petrol in Diesel engines) can only occur
in the case of versions equipped with fuel tank
cap. Before refuelling, make sure that the fuel type
is correct.
Switch off the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number
(R.O.N.) no lower than 95. In order to prevent
damage to the catalytic converter never introduce
even the smallest amount of leaded petrol, even
in the event of an emergency.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter
leads to harmful exhaust emissions, thus
contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in
small amounts or in an emergency, as this would
damage the catalytic converter beyond repair.DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots
with consequent defective operation of the fuel
supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel fuel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
fuel whose specifications are not suitable for the
current temperature, it is advisable to mix
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the container with the fuel.
Pour the additive into the tank before the diesel
fuel.
When using or parking the car for a long time in
the mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to
refuel using locally available diesel. In this case, it
is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.

For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with
EN590 European specifications. The
use of other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, depending on the
damage caused. If you accidentally refuel with
another type of fuel, do not start the engine,
and drain the fuel tank. If the engine has been
run, even for only a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel system emptied in
addition to the tank.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the
pump switches off. Further top-ups could cause
faults in the fuel feeding system.
REFUELLING PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
EQUIPPED WITH FUEL TANK PLUG
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Refuel as follows:
❒open the flap A fig. 84 pulling it outwards;
❒keep the plug B still, insert the ignition key in
the lock and turn it anticlockwise;
❒Turn the plug anticlockwise and remove it.The plug has a device C fig. 84 that attaches it to
the flap so that it cannot be lost. When refilling,
attach the plug to the flap, as shown.
After refuelling, fit the plug B fig. 84 (complete
with key) and turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more. Turn the key clockwise and remove it.
Close the flap A.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure increase in
the tank. A little breathing off, while unscrewing
the plug or introducing the gun in the versions
equipped with "Smart Fuel", is therefore
absolutely normal.
