IMPORTANT If the car is equipped with an alarm
system, this has to be disabled using the remote
control (see "Alarm" paragraph in "Knowing your
car").
WARNING
Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact
with your
skin and eyes. The battery should be
charged in a well ventilated place, away
from naked flames or possible sources of
sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must
be thawed first,
otherwise it may explode. If freezing has
occurred, the battery should be checked by
skilled personnel to make sure that the
internal elements are not damaged and that
the body is not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.

BATTERYBattery F (see previous pages) does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled water. A
periodic check carried out at a Lancia Dealership
is, however, necessary to check efficiency.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If necessary, replace the battery with another
original battery with the same specifications.
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
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 that the doors,
tailgate and bonnet are closed properly, to
prevent any roof lights from remaining on inside
the passenger's compartment;
❒switch off all roof lights inside the car: the car is
however equipped with a system which switches
all internal lights off automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system,
hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the negative
battery cable;
❒completely tighten the battery terminals.IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under
50% for a long time, the battery is damaged
by sulphation, reducing its capacity and efficiency
at start-up.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing
(this can happen as early as -10°C). Refer to
the paragraph "Car inactivity" in "Starting and
driving" if the car is left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the car, you wish to install
electrical accessories which require permanent
electrical supply (alarm etc.) or accessories which
influence the electrical supply requirements,
contact a Lancia Dealership, whose qualified staff
will evaluate the overall electrical consumption.
WARNING
Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages
the battery
and may cause an explosion.

Incorrect installation of electrical and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing
your car, if you wish to install any accessories
(car alarm, car phone etc.), contact a Lancia
Dealership, which will suggest the most
appropriate devices for your vehicle and will,
most importantly, advise you if a
higher-capacity battery needs to be installed.Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment.
For battery replacement, contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
If the car will be unused for an
extended period of
time in extremely
cold weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to avoid it
freezing.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate goggles
when working on
or near the battery.
WHEELS AND TYRESBefore long trips, and every two weeks, check the
tyre and space-saver wheel inflation pressure
(for versions/markets, where provided). Check the
tyres when cold.
While driving the car, the pressure increases under
standard conditions: for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig.
161:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn;
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the
edges;
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.

SOUND-SYSTEM
SELECTING CD FUNCTION
By pressing the MEDIA button briefly it is possible
to select the CD function.
AUDIO SOURCE MEMORY FUNCTION
If another function (e.g. the radio) is selected
whilst listening to a CD, playback is interrupted
and is resumed from the same point when
returning to the CD source.
If another function is selected whilst listening to
the radio, the last station selected is tuned into
when returning to the Radio mode.
VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
Turn the
(ON/OFF) button/knob to adjust the
volume.
If the volume level is changed during the
transmission of traffic news, the new setting will
only be maintained until the update is finished.
MUTE/PAUSE FUNCTION
(volume reset)
Press thebutton briefly to activate the Mute
function. The volume will gradually decrease and
the words "RADIO Mute" (in radio mode) or
"PAUSE" (in CD mode) will appear on the
display.
Press thebutton again to deactivate the Mute
function. The volume will gradually increase until
it reaches the level previously set.When the volume level is changed using the
dedicated controls, the Mute function is
deactivated and the volume is adjusted to the new
level selected.
With the Mute function activated, it will be
ignored when there is an incoming traffic alert (if
the TA function is activated), or if an emergency
alarm is received. The function will be reactivated
when the alert is over.
AUDIO SETTINGS
The functions in the audio menu differ according
to the activated source: AM/FM/CD/Media Player
(only withBlue&Me™) /AUX (only with
Blue&Me™, for versions/markets, where
provided).
Press the
button briefly to change the Audio
functions.
After thebutton is first pressed, the display will
show the bass level value for the source activated
at that time (e.g. in FM mode the display will
show the wording "FM Bass +2").
Use theor
buttons to scroll the menu
functions. To change the setting of the function
selected use the
or
buttons. The current status
of the selected function appears on the display.
The functions managed by the Menu are:
❒BASS (adjustment of bass tones);
❒TREBLE (adjustment high tones);
❒BALANCE (right/left balance adjustment);
273
SOUND-SYSTEM
During the automatic storing process, the text
“Autostore” flashes on the display.
Press the FM AS button again to stop the
Autostore function: the radio will again tune into
the station listened to before the activation of the
function.
When the Autostore function is over, the radio
automatically tunes into the first preselected
station on the FMA band on the preset side 1.
The stations that have a strong signal at that
moment are then automatically stored in the
preselected band in the buttons numbered 1 to 6.
When the Autostore function is activated within
the MW band, the FMA band is automatically
selected and the function is performed.
Note
Sometimes the Autostore function is not able to
find 6 stations with a strong signal. In this case,
the strongest stations stored will be duplicated in
the free preset buttons.
Note
When the Autostore function is activated, the
stations that were previously stored in the FMA
band are deleted.EMERGENCY ALARM RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency alerts in RDS
mode in exceptional circumstances where
dangerous situations are threatened (earthquakes,
floods, etc.) if these are being transmitted by the
broadcaster tuned into.
This function is activated automatically and
cannot be turned off.
The word Alarm will be shown in the display
during the transmission of an emergency
announcement. The volume of the radio will
change during this announcement in the same way
as during a traffic announcement.
EON FUNCTION (Enhanced Other Network)
In some countries, there are circuits that group
multiple broadcasters that transmit traffic
information together. In this case, the programme
of the station that is being listened to will be
temporarily interrupted to:
❒receive traffic alerts (only with the TA function
activated);
❒listen to regional transmissions each time these
are broadcast by one of the broadcasters on the
same circuit.
