Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably in-
creases as speed increases. Keep your
speed as even as possible, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration
which cause excessive fuel consump-
tion and increase emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very nega-
tive effect on consumptions and emis-
sions: accelerate gradually and do not
go over the maximum torque ratio.CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold
start-ups will prevent the engine from
reaching optimal running tempera-
ture. Consequently, both consumption
(from +15 to +30% on urban cycle )
and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when trav-
elling in a queue with frequent use of
low gears or in cities with many traf-
fic lights. Mountain and rough roads
also have a negative effect on con-
sumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be provided with a
type-approved tow hitch and ade-
quate electric system to tow caravans
or trailers. Installation must be per-
formed by specialised personnel who
will issue the required papers for trav-
elling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
rearview mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtak-
ing takes longer depending on the
overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly us-
ing the brake.

The weight of the trailer on the car’s
tow hitch will reduce the loading ca-
pacity of the car by the same amount.
Consider the weight of the car at full
load, including accessories and luggage
to make sure you do not exceed the
maximum towable weight (shown on
the log book).
Respect the speed limits specific for
each country for vehicles towing trail-
ers. In all cases, the top speed must
not exceed 100 km/h.
The ABS with which the
car may be equipped will
not control the braking system of
the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
WARNING
Never modify the braking
system of the car to control
the trailer brake. The trailer brak-
ing system must be fully indepen-
dent from the hydraulic system of
the car.
WARNING
INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or in-
tegrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current
regulations with reference to
94/20/EC Directive and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device
used must match the towable weight
of the car on which it is to be in-
stalled.
For the electric connection a unified
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing de-
vice, and a special ECU for external
trailer light control shall be installed
on the car. For the electric connection, 7 or 13
pin 12VDC connection is to be used
(CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Stan-
dards). Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the car manufacturer and/or
the tow hitch manufacturer.
An electric brake should be supplied
directly by the battery through a ca-
ble with a cross section of no less than
2.5 mm2,5.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other
device shall be used with running en-
gine.
In addition to the electric branches,
the car’s electric system can only be
connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light, though not above 15W.
For connections use the preset control
unit with battery cable no less than
2.5 mm
2.

SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the
normal tyres provided with the car.
Lancia Dealership will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyre for the customer’s
requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, infla-
tion pressures and the specifications
of snow tyres, follow the instructions
given in paragraph “Wheels” in sec-
tion “Technical specifications”.
The performance of these tyres is con-
siderably reduced when the tread
depth is less than 4 mm. Replace
them in this case.Due to their specific features, the per-
formance of snow tyres is much lower
than that of normal types in normal
conditions or long motorway
stretches. Limit performance accord-
ing the use for which they were ap-
proved.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are
used with a max speed index below
the one that can be reached by the car
(increased by 5%), place a notice in
the passenger’s compartment, plainly
in the driver’s view which states the
max permissible speed of the snow
tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same
(brand and track) to ensure greater
safety when driving and braking and
better driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of
tyres.The top speed of a “T”
type snow tyre is 190
km/h. Respect the highway code in
all cases.

SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in com-
pliance with local regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only
onto the front wheel tyres (drive
wheels). Use of Lineaccessori Lancia
snow chains is recommended.
Check the tension of the chains after
the first few metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be
fitted on the space saver wheel. In
case of puncture to a front tyre, re-
place a rear wheel using the space
saver spare and fit the normal size
wheel on the front axle. In this way,
you can fit snow chains on the two
front wheels.
The tyres which are suitable for fitting snow chains and the type
of chain which can be used are shown in the table above. Follow
indications carefully.
Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not
exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and
also avoid driving long distances on roads not covered with
snow in order to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
Tyres suitable for fitting Chain typesnow chains to be used
185/65 R14 86T
195/60 R15 88T
Chains cannot be fitted on
205/50 R16 87V tyres.
WARNING
