CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of
your vehicle down and lower the
amount of toxic emissions released
into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Service
schedule”.
Ty r e s
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption
because rolling resistance will be
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
boot. The weight of the car (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These acces-
sories decrease aerodynamic penetra-
tion of the car and have a negative ef-
fect on consumption. It is better to use
a trailer to transport particularly
bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the
amount of time needed. Rear heated
window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, there-
fore increasing the requirement of
current increases fuel consumption
(up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires
higher fuel consumption (up to +20%
in average): use the air vents when the
external temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag
and fuel consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the
car standing: the engine warms up
very slowly in these conditions, in-
creasing consumption and emissions.
It is advisable to start off immediately
and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much
faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at
traffic lights or before stopping the
engine. The latter action, like dou-
bling the clutch, is unnecessary and
causes increase of consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic
and road conditions allow. Using a
low gear for faster acceleration will in-
crease consumption.
In the same way improper use of a
high gear increases consumption,
emissions an engine wear.

STARTING
AND DRIVING
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.

TO CHANGE A
BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a bulb is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is in-
tact before replacing it: refer to the
“If a fuse blows” paragraph in this
chapter for fuse location.
❒before changing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒always check the height of the
headlight beam after changing a
bulb.
Halogen lamps must be
handled holding the metal-
lic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb
with your fingers may reduce the in-
tensity of the emitted light and even
compromise duration of the lamp it-
self.

Modifications or repairs to
the fuel feed system that
are not carried out properly or do
not take the system’s technical
specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small frag-
ments of glass to be projected out-
wards.
WARNING
BULB TYPES fig. 16
Various types of bulbs are fitted to
your car:
A All glass bulb: clipped into place.
Pull to extract.
B Bayonet bulbs: to remove this type
of bulb from its holder, press the
bulb and turn it anticlockwise.
C Cylindrical bulbs: release from the
contacts to extract.
D-E Halogen bulbs: release the fas-
tening clip from the correspond-
ing seat to remove the lamp.

The taillights and the
third brake light fit LEDs.
Contact a Lancia Dealership in
case of faults.
WARNING
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after hard rain or after
washing, the area of headlamps or rear
lights, may steam up and/or form drops
of condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the differ-
ence in temperature and humidity be-
tween the inside and the outside of the
glass which does not indicate a fault
and does not compromise the normal
operation of lighting devices. The mist
disappears quickly turning the lights
on, starting from the centre of the dif-
fuser, extending progressively towards
the edges.

TOWING THE CAR
The car is provided with two tow
rings: use the shorter one on the front
and the longer one on the back.
The tow rings are arranged inside the
tool container.
The arrangement of the rear ring
(long) inside the spare wheel and in-
side the automatic Fix & Go quick re-
pair kit are shown in fig. 41 and in
fig. 42 respectively.
On cars with Dual Function System
gearbox, make sure that the gearbox
is in neutral N(check that the car can
move when pushed) and tow as a nor-
mal car with mechanical gearbox.
If the gearbox cannot be placed in
neutral, do not tow the vehicle and
contact a Lancia Dealership.
