2013 Lancia Delta stop start

STARTING AND DRIVING187
Keep your speed down when snow chains are
fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid pot-
holes, steps and pavements and also avoid
driving long distances on roads not covered with
snow in order to prevent damaging the car and the
roadbed.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the front
wheel tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few
metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-
saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punc-
tured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fit-
ted to the front of the car and the space-saving spare
wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two nor-
mal drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to
solve an emergency.
CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month,
the following precautions should be followed:
❍park the car in a covered, dry and, if possible, well-
ventilated place;
❍engage a gear;
❍check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❍disconnect the negative battery terminal (for versions
with Start&Stop system refer to the paragraph
“Start&Stop system” in chapter “1”);
❍clean and protect the painted parts of the vehicle with
protective wax;
❍clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds commercially available;
❍sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
❍open the windows slightly;
❍cover the car with a fabric or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic as they
do not allow moisture on the car body to evaporate;
❍inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check regularly;
❍do not drain the engine cooling system.

IN AN EMERGENCY191

Proceed as follows to start the car:
❍connect the positive terminals (+ sign close to the ter-
minal) of both batteries using a lead;
❍with a second lead, connect the negative terminal (–)
of the auxiliary battery to an earthing point E
on the
engine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
❍start the engine;
❍when the engine has been started, follow the sequence
above in reverse order to remove the leads.
For versions with Start&Stop system, in case of starting
by booster battery, refer to the paragraph “Start&Stop
system” in the chapter “1”.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
persist but contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative termi-
nals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the explo-
sive gas which could come out of the battery. If the auxil-
iary battery is installed on another car, prevent any contact
between metal parts of the cars and the flat battery.BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or dri-
ving downhill.
This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic converter
and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and elec-
trical power steering system (where provided) are not op-
erational until the engine is started, a greater effort will
therefore be required to press the brake pedal or turn the
steering wheel.

196IN AN EMERGENCY
❍if after this operation it is still not possible to reach
at least 1.8 bar after five minutes, do not start driving
since the tyre is excessively damaged and the fast tyre
repair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing. Contact
a Lancia Dealership;
❍if the tyre reaches the pressure specified in “Cold tyre
pressures” pressure in chapter “6”, start driving im-
mediately;
Apply the adhesive label in a position
clearly visible by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the quick
repair kit. Drive carefully, particularly on bends.
Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate and
brake suddenly.
❍after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check the
tyre pressure again; pull up the handbrake;
If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, do not
drive any further: the quick tyre repair kit
Fix & Go automatic cannot guarantee suffi-
cient hold because the tyre is too damaged. Go to
a Lancia Dealership.
❍if you get a pressure reading of at least 1.8 bar, restore
the correct pressure (with engine running and hand-
brake on) and continue your journey;
❍drive with the utmost care to the nearest Lancia Deal-
ership.

226IN AN EMERGENCY
BATTERY RECHARGING
IMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is given
as information only. You are advised to go to a Lancia
Dealership to have this operation performed.
Charging should be slow at a low ampere rating for ap-
proximately 24 hours. Charging for a longer time may
damage the battery.
VERSIONS WITHOUT Start&Stop SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Charge the battery as follows:
❍disconnect the negative battery terminal;
❍connect the charger leads to the battery terminals, ob-
serving the polarity;
❍turn on the charger;
❍when you have finished, turn the charger off before
disconnecting the battery;
❍reconnect the negative battery terminal.VERSIONS WITH Start&Stop SYSTEM fig. 43
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To charge, proceed as follows:
❍detach the connector A (by pressing button B) from
sensor C for monitoring the status of the battery in-
stalled on the negative battery pole D;

228IN AN EMERGENCY
When towing, remember that without the
help of the brake servo and electric power
steering, a greater effort is required on the
pedal and steering wheel. Do not use flexible ca-
bles when towing and avoid jerky movements.
While towing, make sure not to damage parts in
contact with the car. When towing the vehicle, it is
compulsory to respect specific highway code reg-
ulations relating to the tow hook and procedures for
towing on the road. Do not start the engine while
towing the car. Before tightening the ring clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure that the
ring is securely fastened before towing the car.
The front and rear tow hooks must only be
used for emergency situations on the road.
The car may be towed for short distances
when a dedicated device is used in compliance with
the Highway Code (rigid bar), and in order to move
the vehicle on the road in preparation for towing by
a tow truck. Tow hooks MUST NOT be used to tow
vehicles off the road or where there are obstacles
and/or for towing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices. Respecting the above conditions,
towing must take place with two vehicles (one tow-
ing, the other towed) aligned as much as possible
along the same centre line.
fig. 45L0E0091m
Before towing, turn the ignition key to MAR
and then to STOP without removing it. The
steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels cannot be
steered.
