perature.
NOTE: The system will display
the last known outside tempera-
ture when starting the vehicle and
may need to be driven several min-
utes before the updated tempera-
ture is displayed. Engine tempera-
ture can also affect the displayed
temperature; therefore, tempera-
ture readings are not updated
when the vehicle is not moving.

Clearing A Flooded Engine (Using
ENGINE START/STOP Button)
If the engine fails to start after you
have followed the “Normal Starting”
or “Extreme Cold Weather" proce-
dures, it may be flooded. To clear any
excess fuel:
1. Press and hold the brake pedal.
2. Press the accelerator pedal all the
way to the floor and hold it.
3. Press and release the ENGINE
START/STOP button once.
The starter motor will engage auto-
matically, run for 10 seconds, and
then disengage. Once this occurs, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and the
brake pedal, wait 10 to 15 seconds,
then repeat the “Normal Starting”
procedure.
Clearing A Flooded Engine (Using
Fob With Integrated Key)
If the engine fails to start after you
have followed the “Normal Starting”
or “Extreme Cold Weather” proce-
dures, it may be flooded. To clear any
excess fuel:1. Press the accelerator pedal all the
way to the floor and hold it.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the
START position and release it as soon
as the starter engages.
The starter motor will disengage au-
tomatically in 10 seconds. Once this
occurs, release the accelerator pedal,
turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then
repeat the “Normal Starting” proce-
dure.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter,
wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying
again.
AFTER STARTING
The idle speed is controlled automati-
cally and it will decrease as the engine
warms up.
NORMAL STARTING –
DIESEL ENGINE
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position. 2. Watch for the “Wait To Start
Light” in the instrument cluster. Refer
to “Instrument Cluster” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for
further information. It will illuminate
for two to ten seconds or more, de-
pending on engine temperature.
When the “Wait To Start Light” goes
out, the engine is ready to start.
3. DO NOT press the accelerator.
Turn the ignition switch to the START
position and release when the engine
starts.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter,
DO NOT crank the engine for more
than 15–second intervals at one
time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before
trying again.
4. After the engine starts, allow it to
idle for approximately 30 seconds be-
fore driving. This allows oil to circu-
late and lubricate the turbocharger.

FLOWING/RISING WATERWARNING!
Do not drive on or across a road or
path where water is flowing and/or
rising (as in storm run-off). Flow-
ing water can wear away the road
or path's surface and cause your
vehicle to sink into deeper water.
Furthermore, flowing and/or rising
water can carry your vehicle away
swiftly. Failure to follow this warn-
ing may result in injuries that are
serious or fatal to you, your passen-
gers, and others around you.
SHALLOW STANDING
WATER
Although your vehicle is capable of
driving through shallow standing wa-
ter, consider the following Caution
and Warning before doing so.
CAUTION!
Always check the depth of the
standing water before driving
through it. Never drive through
standing water that is deeper than
the bottom of the tire rims mounted
on the vehicle.
Determine the condition of the road
or the path that is under water and
if there are any obstacles in the way
before driving through the standing
water.
Do not exceed 8 km/h when driving
through standing water. This will
minimize wave effects. (Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
Driving through standing water
may cause damage to your vehicle’s
drivetrain components. Always in-
spect your vehicle’s fluids (i.e., en-
gine oil, transmission, axle, etc.) for
signs of contamination (i.e., fluid
that is milky or foamy in appear-
ance) after driving through stand-
ing water. Do not continue to oper-
ate the vehicle if any fluid appears
contaminated, as this may result in
further damage. Such damage is
not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Getting water inside your vehicle’s
engine can cause it to lock up and
stall out, and cause serious internal
damage to the engine. Such dam-
age is not covered by the New Ve-
hicle Limited Warranty.

CAUTION!(Continued)
Car maintenance should be done at a LANCIA Dealership. For
routine and minor maintenance
operations you wish to carry out
yourself, we do recommend you
have the proper equipment,
genuine LANCIA spare parts and
the necessary fluids; do not how-
ever carry out these operations if
you have no experience.
Your vehicle has been built with improved fluids that protect the
performance and durability of
your vehicle and also allow ex-
tended maintenance intervals. Do
not use chemical flushes in these
components as the chemicals can
damage your engine, transmis-
sion, power steering or air condi-
tioning. Such damage is not cov-
ered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. If a flush is needed be-
cause of component malfunction,
use only the specified fluid for the
flushing procedure. ENGINE OIL
Checking Oil Level
To assure proper engine lubrication,
the engine oil must be maintained at
the correct level. Check the oil level at
regular intervals, such as every fuel
stop.
The best time to check the engine oil
level is about five minutes after a fully
warmed engine is shut off or before
starting the engine after it has sat
overnight.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is
on level ground will improve the ac-
curacy of the oil level readings. Main-
tain the oil level between the MIN and
MAX markings on the dipstick. Add-
ing one quart of oil when the reading
is at the MIN mark will result in a
MAX reading on these engines.
CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling will
cause oil aeration or loss of oil pres-
sure. This could damage your en-
gine.CAUTION!
Car maintenance should be done at
a LANCIA Dealership. For routine
and minor maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, we
do recommend you have the proper
equipment, genuine LANCIA spare
parts and the necessary fluids; do
not however carry out these opera-
tions if you have no experience.
Change Engine Oil – All Engines
The oil change indicator system will
remind you that it is time to take your
vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for
further information on this system.

Engine Oil Selection – 3.6L
Engine
SAE 5W-30 SELENIA K Power fully
synthetic engine oil that meets FIAT
Classification 9.55535-CR1, API SN,
ILSAC GF-5 or equivalent.
Engine Oil Selection – 2.8L Diesel
Engine
SAE Grade 5W-30 SELENIA MUL-
TIPOWER C3 fully synthetic engine
oil that meets FIAT Qualification
9.55535-S3, API SM/CF, ACEA C3 or
equivalent.
Synthetic Engine Oils
You may use synthetic engine oils pro-
vided the recommended oil quality
requirements are met, and the recom-
mended maintenance intervals for oil
and filter changes are followed.
Materials Added To Engine Oil
Do not add any supplemental materi-
als, other than leak detection dyes, to
the engine oil. Engine oil is an engi-
neered product and its performance
may be impaired by supplemental ad-
ditives.Disposing Of Used Engine Oil And
Oil Filters
Care should be taken in disposing of
used engine oil and oil filters from
your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters,
indiscriminately discarded, can pres-
ent a problem to the environment.
Contact your authorized dealer, ser-
vice station or governmental agency
for advice on how and where used oil
and oil filters can be safely discarded
in your area.
ENGINE OIL FILTER
The engine oil filter should be re-
placed with a new filter at every en-
gine oil change.
Engine Oil Filter Selection
This manufacturer's engines have a
full-flow type oil filter. Use a filter of
this type for replacement. The quality
of replacement filters varies consider-
ably. Only high quality filters should
be used to assure most efficient ser-
vice. LANCIA engine oil filters are a
high quality oil filter and are recom-
mended.
ENGINE AIR CLEANER
FILTER
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
The air induction system (air
cleaner, hoses, etc.) can provide a
measure of protection in the case of
engine backfire. Do not remove the
air induction system (air cleaner,
hoses, etc.) unless such removal is
necessary for repair or mainte-
nance. Make sure that no one is
near the engine compartment be-
fore starting the vehicle with the air
induction system (air cleaner,
hoses, etc.) removed. Failure to do
so can result in serious personal
injury.
