When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel
effort is lighter, parking operations are easier:
therefore this function is particularly useful for
driving in city centres.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market
operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect performance
and safety, invalidate warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the car with
type approval requirements.
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres
requiring a lot of steering, the steering may
become harder; this is normal and is due to the
intervention of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating, so no
intervention is required. When the car is used
again later on, the power steering will work
normally.
WARNING
Before starting any servicing
operation, stop the
engine and
remove the key from the ignition switch to
operate the steering lock, particularly when
the wheels do not touch the ground. If this
is not possible (for example if the key needs
to be turned to MAR-ON or the engine must
be running), remove the main fuse that
protects the electric power steering.

WARNING
The jack provided is only intended to
be used for
replacing tyres on the
car with which it is supplied, or on
same-model vehicles. Never use the jack for
other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations
under the car. Incorrectly positioning the
jack may cause the car to fall. Do not use the
jack for loads higher than the one shown
on its label. Never install snow chains on the
space-saver wheel; if a front tyre (driving
wheel) is punctured and you need to use
snow chains, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel
on the rear axle. In this way, with two
normal drive wheels, it is possible to use
snow chains.
WARNING
Fit the wheel cap correctly to prevent
it from coming
free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflating valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical specifications"
section.JACK
Important notes:
❒the jack weight is 1,76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in the event of a
fault it must be replaced by another original
one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device may be
fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒Stop the car in a position that is not dangerous
for oncoming traffic where you can change the
wheel safely. The ground must be flat and
sufficiently compact;
❒switch off the engine, pull up the handbrake
and engage the 1
stgear or the reverse gear.
Wear the reflective safety jacket (compulsory by
law in certain countries) before getting out of
the car;
❒open the luggage compartment, pull tab A fig.
111 and lift up the mat;
❒using the wrench A fig. 112 located in the tool
box, loosen the locking device, take the tool
box B and place it close to the wheel to be
replaced. Then take the space-saver wheel C;
❒take the wrench A fig. 113 and loosen the fixing
bolts by about one turn. For versions with alloy
rims, shake the car to facilitate detachment of
the rim from the wheel hub.

❒position the jack under the car, near the wheel
to be changed;

into the side member C (next to the mark on
the side member);❒alert other passengers that the car is about to be
raised; all persons should be kept away from the
car until it has been lowered;
❒fit handle D fig. 114 into the housing in device
A, operate the jack and raise the car until the
wheel is a few centimetres from the ground;
❒remove the wheel cap after loosening the 3
fixing bolts and finally loosen the fourth bolt
and extract the wheel (only for versions with
wheel caps fixed by bolts);
❒make sure the contact surfaces between
space-saver wheel and hub are clean so that the
fastening bolts will not come loose;
❒fit the space-saver wheel by inserting the first
bolt for two threads into the hole closest to the
valve;
❒take the wrench A fig. 113 and fully tighten the
fixing bolts;

ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after
the engine has stopped, with the car parked on
level ground.
For 1.2 8V 69 HP and 1.3 16V MultiJet
versions
Remove the engine oil dipstick B, clean it with a
cloth that does not leave any trace and resinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
The range between the MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN mark, add
oil through the filler A until it reaches the MAX
mark.
The oil level should never exceed the
MAX mark.
For 0.9 TwinAir 85 HP versions
The engine oil dipstick A is integral with plug A.
Loosen the plug, clean the dipstick with a cloth
that does not leave traces, reinsert the dipstick
and re-tighten the plug. Extract the plug again
and check that the level is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick.Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually
400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of usage for the car, the
engine is bedding in, therefore the engine oil
consumption may settle down only after the first
5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let
the engine run for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after switching it off before checking the
level.
Do not add oil with characteristics that
are different from those of the oil
currently in the engine.Used engine oil and filter contain
harmful substances for the
environment. You are advised to go to a
Lancia Dealership to have the oil and filters
replaced.
ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked when the
engine is cold and must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, undo reservoir cap C (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".

INTRODUCTIONThe radio has been designed according to the
passenger compartment's specific characteristics
and with a personalised design that complements
the style of the dashboard.
The instructions for use are given below. We
recommend that you read them carefully.
TIPS
Road safety
Familiarise yourself with the various car radio
functions (e.g. storing radio stations), before
starting to drive.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly while
driving. Reception may be interfered with by the
presence of mountains, buildings or bridges, or
when you are far away from the broadcaster.
Note
The volume may be increased when receiving
traffic alerts and news.
WARNING
If the volume is too loud this could be
dangerous for the
driver and for
passengers when driving in traffic. Always
adjust the volume so that you can still hear
background noises.
Maintenance and care
Only clean the cover with a soft, anti-static cloth.
Cleaning and polishing products may damage the
surface.
CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may
cause skipping during playback and poor sound
quality. Follow these tips for optimum playback
conditions:
❒only use CDs with the brand:
❒clean every CD thoroughly removing any
fingerprints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs
by the circumference and clean them from the
centre towards the edge;
