USE OF ENVIRONMENTAL-FRIENDLY MATERIALS
All components of the LANCIA Musa are asbestos-free. Padding and the climate control system are free from CFC
(chlorofluorocarbon), the gases deemed responsible for the destruction of the ozone layer. Paint and bolt corrosion
protections are cadmium-free and safe for the air and water.
EMISSION REDUCTION DEVICES (petrol engines)
Three-way catalytic converter
The exhaust system is equipped with a catalyser made of noble metal alloys. It is accommodated in a stainless steel
container which can withstand high operating temperatures.
The catalyser converts unburnt hydrocarbons, carbon oxide and nitrogen oxides contained in exhaust gases (the
harmful gas content in exhaust is also limited by the electronic injection and ignition system), turning them into non-
polluting compounds.
Due to the high temperature reached during operation of the catalytic converter, it is advisable not to park the car over
flammable materials (paper, oil, dry grass, dry leaves, etc.).
Lambda sensors
The lambda sensors detect the oxygen content in exhaust gases. The signal transmitted by the lambda sensors is used
by the injection and ignition system electronic control unit to adjust the air-fuel mixture.
Anti-evaporation system
It is impossible to prevent the formation of petrol vapours, even when the engine is off. For this reason, a system has
been developed with traps the vapours in a special activate carbon canister.
The vapours are sucked in and burnt in the engine during operation.

AND CARE
Proceed very carefully in-
side the engine compart-
ment when the engine is hot: risk of
burns. Remember that the fan may
start up if the engine is hot: risk of
injury. Pay attention to scarves,
ties and other loose fitting gar-
ments: they could get dragged by
the moving parts.
WARNING
Waste engine oil and oil fil-
ters contains substances
which are dangerous for the
environment. You are ad-
vised to go to a Lancia Dealership to
have the oil and filters replaced.

Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consump-
tion is usually 400 grams every 1000
km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered sta-
bilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on driving style and the con-
ditions under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Always top up using
engine oil of the same types as that al-
ready in the engine.

Topping up engine oil
If the oil level is near or even under
theMINline, add oil through the filler
to reach the MAXline. Oil level shall
never exceed the MAXline.
IMPORTANT If the engine oil level
after the check is over the MAXlevel,
go to a Lancia Dealership to have the
correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or chang-
ing the oil, let the engine turn over for
a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after turning it off before you check
the level.
