VERY IMPORTANT
REFUELLING
Petrol engines:refuel with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of 95 or higher only.
Multijet engines:only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse
of warranty in relation to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines:make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress
the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AV Vand release it as soon as the
engine has started.
Multijet engines:Turn the ignition key to MARand wait for the warning lights Yemto go out; turn
the ignition key AV Vand release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire risk.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with
emissions to ensure better respect for the environment.

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electric de-
vices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) may
work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electric
devices may work.
❒AV V: engine starting (unstable po-
sition).
The ignition switch is fitted with a
safety system that, in the event the en-
gine is not started, turns back the ig-
nition key to STOPbefore repeating
the starting operation.
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of alarm) be carried
out that could badly affect perfor-
mance and safety. This also causes
the warranty to become null and
void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.
WARNING
fig. 19L0D0021m
If the ignition device is
tampered with (e.g.: at-
tempted theft), have it checked over
by a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Always remove the key
when you leave your car to
prevent someone from accidentally
operating the controls. Remember
to apply the handbrake. Engage
first gear if the car is parked up-
hill or reverse if the car is parked
downhill. Never leave children un-
attended in the car.
WARNING
STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is in position STOP, re-
move the key and turn the steering
wheel until it is locked.
Switching off
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.

TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
Turn ring A-fig. 73toOFFor the ig-
nition key to STOP. The device is au-
tomatically turned off in one of the
following cases:
❒when the brake pedal or clutch is
pressed. REDUCING THE STORED
SPEED
This can be carried out in two ways:
❒by turning the device off and then
storing a new speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards
(
–) until reaching the new speed
which will be stored automatically.
Each operation of the stalk will cor-
respond to a slight reduction in speed
(about 1 km/h), while keeping the
stalk downwards will correspond to a
continuous speed reduction. RESTORING THE STORED
SPEED
If the device has been disengaged, for
example by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal, the memorized speed
can be reset as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching
a speed approaching the stored
speed;
❒engage the gear selected when the
speed was stored (4th or 5th gear);
❒press RES B.
INCREASING THE STORED
SPEED
The stored speed can be increased
in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and
then storing the new speed
reached;
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (
+).
Each operation of the stalk will cor-
respond to a slight increase in speed
(about 1 km/h), while keeping the
stalk upwards will correspond to a
continuous speed increase.
When travelling with the
device on, never set the
gearshift lever to neutral.
WARNING
If the device is faulty, turn
ring A to OFF, check the
fuse and contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship.

ABS SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an ABS braking
system, which prevents the wheels
from locking when braking, makes
the most of road grip and gives the
best control when emergency braking
under difficulty road conditions.
System is completed by EBD (Elec-
tronic Braking force Distribution),
which distributes the braking action
between front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT The braking system
needs to settle for approximately 500
km: during this time, avoid sudden,
repeated and prolonged braking.SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by
a slight pulsing of the brake pedal ac-
companied by noise: such an event in-
dicates that you need to adjust your
speed to the type of road on which
you are travelling.
MECHANICAL BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
This system (which cannot be deacti-
vated) recognises emergency braking
conditions according to the speed of
operation of the brake pedal and pro-
vides an additional hydraulic braking
pressure to support that provided by
the driver. This allows faster and
more powerful operation of the
braking system.
IMPORTANT When the Mechanical
Brake Assist is activated noises can be
heard from the system. This is nor-
mal. Anyway, while braking keep the
brake pedal depressed.
When the ABS intervenes
it means that you are ap-
proaching the grip limit between
tyres and road: slow down to ex-
ploit all the available grip.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre-
road grip at the best, but it
cannot improve it; you should
therefore take every care when dri-
ving on slippery surfaces without
taking unnecessary risks.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turn-
ing on of warning light >on the in-
strument panel together with the ded-
icated message on the multifunctional
display (for versions/markets, where
provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
In the case, the braking system will
work as normal without the extra po-
tentials offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.
EBD failure
ABS failure is indicated by the
turning on warning lights >andx
on the instrument panel together with
a message on the multifunctional
display (for versions/markets, where
provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuous
diagnosis of the components of the car
correlated with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on
the warning light
Uon the instru-
ment panel (together with relevant
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”), when these condi-
tions are no longer in peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒warn when a fault causes emissions
levels to increase;
❒to signal the need to replace deteri-
orated components. In this case, the rear wheels may sud-
denly lock and the car may swerve.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.The system also has a diagnostic con-
nector that can be interfaced with ap-
propriate tools, which makes it possi-
ble to read the error codes stored in
the control unit, together with a series
of specific parameters for engine op-
eration and diagnosis. This check can
also be carried out by the traffic po-
lice.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the
inconvenience, to check the system
completely, Lancia Dealerships are
obliged to run a bench test and, if
necessary, road tests which may also
call for a long journey.
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal
pulsating, do not remove your foot,
but keep it pressed; in doing so you
will stop in the shortest amount of
space possible under the current
road conditions.
WARNING
If warning light xonly
lights up on the instrument
panel (with a message on the mul-
tifunctional display, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided),
stop the car immediately and go to
the nearest Lancia Dealership.
Leakage of hydraulic fluid from
the braking system will compro-
mise functionality of the braking
system, either of the conventional
type or with ABS.
WARNING
Go to a Lancia Dealership
as soon as possible if warn-
ing light Ueither does not
light up when the key is
turned to MAR to if while travelling
the warning lights comes on either
steady or blinking (along with a
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, where provided). The opera-
tion of warning light Umay be
checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are
driving.
