2012 Lancia Delta engine

190IN AN EMERGENCY
ENGINE STARTING
Go to a Lancia Dealership immediately if instrument
panel warning light
Yremains on constantly.
JUMP STARTING fig. 1
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an
auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one.
fig. 1L0E0074m
Strictly avoid using a rapid battery charger
for jump starting: this could damage the
electronic systems and the engine fuel sup-
ply and ignition control units.
This starting procedure must be carried out
by expert personnel as incorrect manoeu-
vres can cause electrical discharges of con-
siderable intensity. Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact with your
skin and eyes. Keep naked flames away from the
battery. No smoking. Do not cause sparks.

Proceed as follows to start the car:
❍connect the positive terminals (+ sign close to the ter-
minal) of both batteries using a lead;
❍with a second lead, connect the negative terminal (–)
of the auxiliary battery to an earthing point E
on the
engine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
❍start the engine;
❍when the engine has been started, follow the sequence
above in reverse order to remove the leads.
For versions with Start&Stop system, in case of starting
by booster battery, refer to the paragraph “Start&Stop
system” in the chapter “1”.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
persist but contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative termi-
nals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the explo-
sive gas which could come out of the battery. If the auxil-
iary battery is installed on another car, prevent any contact
between metal parts of the cars and the flat battery.BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or dri-
ving downhill.
This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic converter
and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and elec-
trical power steering system (where provided) are not op-
erational until the engine is started, a greater effort will
therefore be required to press the brake pedal or turn the
steering wheel.

❍make sure that switch C-fig. 5 of the compressor is
in position 0 (off), start the engine, insert plug E-fig.
5a into the power socket and switch on the compres-
sor by placing switch D-fig. 5 in position 1 (on);
❍Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified in the “Cold
tyre pressures” paragraph, in chapter “6”. For a more
accurate reading, check pressure gauge D-fig. 5 with
the compressor off; ❍if after five minutes it is still impossible to reach at least
1.5 bar, disengage the compressor from the valve and
power socket, then move the car forwards for approx.
ten metres in order to distribute the sealing fluid inside
the tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation operation;
fig. 5L0E0078mfig. 5aL0E0288m

196IN AN EMERGENCY
❍if after this operation it is still not possible to reach
at least 1.8 bar after five minutes, do not start driving
since the tyre is excessively damaged and the fast tyre
repair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing. Contact
a Lancia Dealership;
❍if the tyre reaches the pressure specified in “Cold tyre
pressures” pressure in chapter “6”, start driving im-
mediately;
Apply the adhesive label in a position
clearly visible by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the quick
repair kit. Drive carefully, particularly on bends.
Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate and
brake suddenly.
❍after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check the
tyre pressure again; pull up the handbrake;
If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, do not
drive any further: the quick tyre repair kit
Fix & Go automatic cannot guarantee suffi-
cient hold because the tyre is too damaged. Go to
a Lancia Dealership.
❍if you get a pressure reading of at least 1.8 bar, restore
the correct pressure (with engine running and hand-
brake on) and continue your journey;
❍drive with the utmost care to the nearest Lancia Deal-
ership.

TAKING OUT THE SPACE-SAVER WHEEL
Please note that:
❍the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❍the jack requires no adjustment;
❍the jack cannot be repaired; if it breaks, it must be re-
placed with a new one of the same type;
❍no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted on
the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❍stop the car where it is not a danger to other road
users and you can replace the wheel safely. The
ground must be flat and sufficiently compact;
❍turn the engine off and engage the handbrake;
❍engage first gear or reverse;
❍lift up the luggage compartment mat using handle A-
fig. 10 (in the presence of a double load platform, first
lift the upper cover and then the luggage compart-
ment mat);
❍unscrew the locking device B-fig. 10;
❍take out the tool box C and place it next to the wheel
to be changed;
❍remove the space saver wheel D-fig. 10;
❍use the provided screwdriver to remove the hub cap,
levering the dedicated opening on the outer edge;

REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electric system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the
system. Check the state of the corresponding fuse when
a device does not work: the filament A-fig. 37 must be in-
tact. If it is not, replace the blown fuse with another with
the same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse
C fuse with damaged filament.
To replace a fuse, use the pliers D-fig. 37 attached to the
dashboard control unit.
Refer to the tables on the following pages to identify the
protection fuse.
fig. 37L0E0085m
If the fuse blows again contact a Lancia
Dealership.
Never replace a blown fuse with anything
other than a new fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another with
a higher amp rating; FIRE RISK.
If a general protective fuse (MEGA-FUSE,
MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) blows, contact
a Lancia Dealership.
Before changing a fuse, check that the ignition
key has been removed and that all the other
electric devices have been turned off/disabled.
If a general protection fuse for safety systems
(air bag system, braking system), power unit
systems (engine system, gearbox system) or
steering system blows, contact a Lancia Dealership.

Engine compartment fuse box fig. 39 and 40
A second fuse box is located on the right side of the en-
gine compartment, next to the battery. To access this fuse
box release the side tabs and remove cover L. The ID
number of the electrical component corresponding to
each fuse can be found on the back of the cover.
fig. 39L0E0088mfig. 38aL0E0211m
If you need to wash the engine compartment,
take care not to directly hit the engine com-
partment fuse box with the jet of water.
Additional fuses (1.4 Turbo Multi Air versions)
On the 1.4 Turbo Multi Air versions there are four addi-
tional fuses (fig. 38a) next to the dashboard junction unit.
