NOTE:
To improve the vehicle’s traction
when starting off in deep snow,
sand or gravel, it may be desirable
to switch the Electronic Stability
Program (ESP) to “Partial Off”
mode. Refer to “Electronic Brake
Control System” in “Starting and
Operating” for further informa-
tion.CAUTION!
When “rocking” a stuck vehicleby moving between DRIVE and
REVERSE, do not spin the wheels
faster than 24 km/h, or drivetrain
damage may result.
Revving the engine or spinning
the wheels too fast may lead to
transmission overheating and
failure. It can also damage the
tires. Do not spin the wheels above
48 km/h while in gear (no trans-
mission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be danger-
ous. Forces generated by excessive
wheel speeds may cause damage, or
even failure, of the axle and tires. A
tire could explode and injure some-
one. Do not spin your vehicle's
wheels faster than 48 km/h or for
longer than 30 seconds continuously
without stopping when you are stuck
and do not let anyone near a spin-
ning wheel, no matter what the
speed.
SHIFT LEVER
OVERRIDE
If a malfunction occurs and the shift
lever cannot be moved out of the
PARK position, you can use the fol-
lowing procedure to temporarily
move the shift lever:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Remove the shift lever access
cover, located near the top right of the
shift lever in the instrument panel. 3. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN
position without starting the engine
(engine OFF).
4. Press and maintain firm pressure
on the brake pedal.
5. Insert a screwdriver or similar tool
into the hole and push and hold the
shift lever override forward.
6. Move the shift lever to the NEU-
TRAL position.
7. The vehicle may then be started in
NEUTRAL.
8. Reinstall the shift lever override
access cover.

highly corrosive to the metal in your
vehicle. Outside parking, which ex-
poses your vehicle to airborne con-
taminants, road surfaces on which the
vehicle is operated, extreme hot or
cold weather and other extreme con-
ditions will have an adverse effect on
paint, metal trim, and underbody
protection.
The following maintenance recom-
mendations will enable you to obtain
maximum benefit from the corrosion
resistance built into your vehicle.
What Causes Corrosion?
Corrosion is the result of deterioration
or removal of paint and protective
coatings from your vehicle.
The most common causes are:
Road salt, dirt and moisture accu-mulation
Stone and gravel impact
Insects, tree sap and tar
Salt in the air near seacoast locali- ties
Atmospheric fallout/industrial pol- lutants Washing
Wash your vehicle regularly. Al-
ways wash your vehicle in the shade
using a mild car wash soap, and
rinse the panels completely with
clear water.
Use a high quality cleaner wax to remove road film, stains and to pro-
tect your paint finish. Take care
never to scratch the paint.
Avoid using abrasive compounds and power buffing that may dimin-
ish the gloss or thin out the paint
finish.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive or strong clean-
ing materials such as steel wool or
scouring powder, which will scratch
metal and painted surfaces.
Special Care
If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive near the ocean, hose
off the undercarriage at least once a
month. It is important that the drain holes
in the lower edges of the doors and
rocker panels be kept clear and
open.
If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint, touch them
up immediately. The cost of such
repairs is considered the responsi-
bility of the owner.
If your vehicle is damaged due to an accident or similar cause which de-
stroys the paint and protective
coating, have your vehicle repaired
as soon as possible. The cost of such
repairs is considered the responsi-
bility of the owner.
If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, de-icer salt,
etc., be sure that such materials are
well packaged and sealed.
If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone
shields behind each wheel.
Use Touch Up Paint or equivalent on scratches as soon as possible.
Your authorized dealer has touch
up paint to match the color of your
vehicle.
301
Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially
aluminum and chrome plated wheels,
should be cleaned regularly with a
mild soap and water to prevent corro-
sion.CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool,
a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do
not use oven cleaner. These products
may damage the wheel's protective
finish. Avoid automatic car washes
that use acidic solutions or harsh
brushes that may damage the
wheel's protective finish. Use only
the approved wheel cleaners or
equivalent.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning
Procedure (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in
the following manner:
Remove as much of the stain as possible by blotting with a clean,
dry towel. Blot any remaining stain with a
clean, damp towel.
For tough stains, apply a mild soap solution to a clean, damp cloth and
remove the stain. Use a fresh, damp
towel to remove soap residue.
For grease stains, apply a high quality cleaner to a clean, damp
cloth and remove the stain. Use a
fresh, damp towel to remove soap
residue.
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other form of protectants on
Stain Repel products.
Interior Care
Instrument Panel Surfaces
The instrument panel cover has a low
glare surface, which minimizes reflec-
tions in the windshield. Do not use
protectants or other products which
may cause undesirable reflections.
Use soap and warm water to restore
the low glare surface. Cleaning Leather Upholstery
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of
dirt can act as an abrasive and dam-
age the leather upholstery and should
be removed promptly with a damp
cloth. Care should be taken to avoid
soaking your leather upholstery with
any liquid. Please do not use polishes,
oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, deter-
gents, or ammonia-based cleaners to
clean your leather upholstery. Appli-
cation of a leather conditioner is not
required to maintain the original con-
dition.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for
cleaning purposes. Many are poten-
tially flammable, and if used in
closed areas they may cause respira-
tory harm.
302
Shake the excess water from the liner
and dry the outer surfaces with a
clean soft cloth.
Installation
Place the liner into the cupholder
drawer and press the liner into place
so that the retention tabs seat into the
corresponding openings in the
drawer.
FUSES
TOTALLY INTEGRATED
POWER MODULE
The Totally Integrated Power Module
is located in the engine compartment
near the battery. Refer to the appli-
cable “Engine Compartment” illus-
tration in this section. This center
contains cartridge fuses and mini-
fuses. A label that identifies each
component may be printed or em-
bossed on the inside of the cover.
CAUTION!
When installing the Totally Inte-grated Power Module cover, it is
important to ensure the cover is
properly positioned and fully
latched. Failure to do so may al-
low water to get into the Inte-
grated Power Module, and possi-
bly result in a electrical system
failure.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
When replacing a blown fuse, it is
important to use only a fuse hav-
ing the correct amperage rating.
The use of a fuse with a rating
other than indicated may result in
a dangerous electrical system
overload. If a properly rated fuse
continues to blow, it indicates a
problem in the circuit that must
be corrected.
The numbers inside the TIPM cover
correspond to the following table.

hicle* at the end of its life without
incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that
when the vehicle is handed over thelast keeper or owner should not incur
any expenses as a result of it having a
zero or negative market value.
In all European Union countries, until
1st January 2007, only vehicles regis-
tered after 1st July 2002 were col-
lected free of charge, while since 2007
collection has been free of charge irre-
spective of the year of registration as
long as the vehicle contains its basic
components (in particular, the engine
and bodywork) and has no additional
waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end
of its life without extra cost, go to one
of our Dealerships or LANCIA-
authorized collection and scrapping
centres.
These centres have been carefully
chosen to offer high quality service forthe collection, treatment and recy-
cling of unused vehicles with respect
to the environment.
