2012 Lancia Musa turn signal

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.

Operation in position Eis limited to
the time during which the lever is
kept in that position manually. When
released, the stalk will return to posi-
tionAand the wiper will be automat-
ically stopped.
IMPORTANT Replace wiper blades as
specified in the “Maintenance and
care” chapter. RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the
driving mirror in contact with the
windscreen and has the purpose of
automatically adjusting the frequency
of the windscreen wiper strokes as to
the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in
the sensor area.
Activation
Move the right stalk down by one
click.
The activation of the rain sensor is
signalled by a control acquisition
flick.
Turn the ring F-fig. 71to increase the
rain sensor sensitivity.
The increase of the sensitivity of the
rain sensor is signalled by a control
and acquisition flick.
The smart cycle is started when the
windscreen wiper is turned on while
the rain sensor is active without sup-
plementary flick after 5 seconds. The
sensor will resume normal automatic
operation. “Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate
the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more
than half a second, with just one
movement it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same
time.
The jet will be released immediately
when the wiper stops after four flicks.
A further stroke after 5 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation. Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions,
the windscreen wiper may be sub-
jected to excessive stress and the
motor protection which prevents op-
eration for a few seconds may trip.
If rear window wiper operation is
not reset, contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship.

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.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
LIGHT STAYS ON:
LOW ENGINE OIL
PRESSURE (red)
FLASHING LIGHT:
EXHAUSTED ENGINE OIL
(only Multijet versions
with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR (ON), the warning light switches
on and should go out as soon as the
engine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays
on constantly (for versions/markets,
where provided) along with the mes-
sage on the display when the system
detects that engine oil pressure is low.
v
2. Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions
with DPF)
The warning light will flash and
a specific message will appear on the
display (for versions/markets, where
provided). The warning light may
flash in the following ways, depend-
ing on the version:
– for 1 minute every two hours;
– for 3 minute cycles with the warn-
ing light off for intervals of 5 seconds
until oil is changed.
After the initial warning, each time
the engine is started up, the warning
light will continue to flash in the
above mentioned modes, until the oil
is changed. A specific message will
appear on the display (for versions/
markets, where provided) in addition
to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does
not mean that the car is defective but
simply informs the driver that it is
now necessary to change the oil as
a result of regular vehicle use.
If the warning light v
turns on when the vehicle
is travelling (on certain versions
together with the message on the
display) stop the engine immedi-
ately and contact a Lancia Deal-
ership.
WARNING
Note that engine oil is exhausted faster
under the following circumstances:
– use of the vehicle prevalently for city
driving, requiring more frequent re-
generation of DPF
– use of the vehicle for short drives, in
which the engine does not have time
to reach its regular operating temper-
ature
– repeated interruption of the regen-
eration process, signalled by the DPF
warning light coming on.
WARNING
Exhausted engine oil should
be replaced as soon as pos-
sible after the warning light comes
on, never more than 500 km after
the warning light first comes on.
Failure to change the oil within the
first 500 km may result in severe
damage to the engine and will re-
sult in forfeiture of the warranty.
Remember that when the warning
light flashes, it does not mean that
the level of engine oil is low, so if
the light flashes you must not top
up.
