late how much particulates has been
trapped by the filter. Since this filter
physically traps particulate, it should
be regenerated (cleaned) at regular in-
tervals by burning carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is con-
trolled automatically by the engine
management control unit according to
the filter conditions and vehicle use
conditions. The following phenomena
may occur during the regeneration:
limited increase of idle speed, activation
of electric fan, limited increase of
smoke, high temperatures at the ex-
haust. These are not faults; they do not
impair vehicle performance or damage
the environment. If the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed, refer to section
“Warning lights and messages”.PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run,
even for a test, with one or more spark
plugs disconnected.
The devices for reducing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF)
DPF (DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER)
(for 1.3 Multijet 90 HP - 1.3 Multijet
95 HP versions)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a me-
chanical filter, integral with the exhaust
system, that physically traps particu-
lates present in the exhaust gases of
Diesel engines. The diesel particular fil-
ter has been adopted to eliminate al-
most totally particulates in compliance
with current / future law regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the
engine control unit records a set of data
(e.g.: travel time, type of route, tem-
peratures, etc.) and it will then calcu- When refuelling, fasten the cap to the
device inside the flap as shown in the
diagram.
IMPORTANT The airtight sealing of
the tank may cause a slight vacuum.
A suction noise when you release the
cap is therefore entirely normal.
After refuelling, fasten the cap by
turning it clockwise until you hear it
click, then turn the key clockwise ad
remove the key from the flap.
Do not approach naked
flames or lit cigarettes to
the fuel filler: fire risk. Keep your
face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
The catalytic converter de-
velops high temperature
during operation. Do not park on
grass, dry leaves, pine needles or
other flammable material: fire
risk.

The tow hook structure must be fastened in the points
shown by the symbol

M10 screws and 2 M12 screws.
The hook should be fastened to the body avoiding any
type of drilling and trimming of the rear bumpers that re-

IMPORTANT It is compulsory to fasten a label (plainly
visible) of suitable size and material with the following
wording:
MAX LOAD ON BALL 60 kg

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.
