sound system with CD or with CD
MP3.
SOUND SYSTEM SETUP
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The system consists of:
❒sound system power wires
❒front and rear speaker power wires
❒aerial power wire
❒2 tweeters on front pillars (30W
max power each);
❒2 mid-woofers on front doors (165
mm diameter, 30W max power
each);

fig. 113L0D0120m
It is advisable to have the
sound system and interfer-
ence filter installed by a
Lancia Dealership.
GSI SYSTEM
(for versions with
mechanical
gearbox only)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The gear shift indication makes it
possible, on cars with a manual gear-
box, to suggest the driver should
change gear (higher gear: shift up, see
Fig. aor lower gear: shift down, see
Fig. b), through a dedicated indica-
tion in the control panel. This sug-
gestion to change gear is designed to
improve consumption and ensure the
best driving style.
NOTE: the indication in the instru-
ment panel remains on until the dri-
ver makes a gear change or until the
driving conditions return to a situa-
tion where a gear change is not re-
quired to improve consumption.

USING THE
MECHANICAL
GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and shift the gear lever
into one of the required positions (the
diagram is shown on the knob).
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be
engaged when the car is at a stand-
still. With the engine running, wait for
at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
To engage 6th gear (for versions/
markets, where provided), operate the
lever by pressing it towards the right
in order to avoid engaging 4th gear by
mistake. The action is similar for
shifting from 6th gear to 5th gear.
To engage reverse Rfrom the neutral
position, lift the sliding ring A-fig. 2-
3under the knob and at the same
time move the lever rightwards and
then back (petrol versions only). For
Multijet versions, simply move the
lever rightwards and then back.

fig. 3L0D0360m
Do not drive with your
hand resting on the gear
lever, because this pressure,
even if light, over time can
wear out the gearbox inner compo-
nents.
Press the clutch pedal
fully to change gears cor-
rectly. For this reason, there must
be no obstacles on the floor under
the pedals: ensure that rubber mats
(if any) are correctly positioned,
not interfering with the pedals.
