FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This intervenes in the case of an impact cau sing:
❍ cut off of fuel s upply with res ultant engine s hut down;
❍ automatic door lock relea se;
❍ activation of all light s ins ide the car.
The intervention of the system is indicated by a message
s hown on the di splay .
Carefully check the car for fuel leaks , for instance in the
engine compartment, under the car or near the tank area.
Following a collis ion, turn the ignition ke y to S TOP to
avoid draining the batter y. To r e
store correct car operation, follow thi s procedure:
❍ turn the ignition ke y to MAR;
❍ activate the right hand indicator;
❍ deactivate the right hand indicator;
❍ activate the left hand indicator;
❍ deactivate the left hand indicator;
❍ activate the right hand indicator;
❍ deactivate the right hand indicator;
❍ activate the left hand indicator;
❍ deactivate the left hand indicator;
❍ turn the key to STOP;
❍ turn the ignition ke y to MAR.
If, after a crash, you smell fuel or notice leaks
from the fuel supply system, do not reset the
system to avoid the risk of fire.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis ) car-
ries out a continuou s diagno sis of the components of the
car related to emissions . It also alerts the driver, by turn-
ing on the
Uwarning light in the ins trument panel to-
gether with a message in the reconfigurable multifunction
dis play , when thes e components are no longer in peak con-
dition (s ee “Instrument panel warning light s” paragraph).
The goal of the system is to:
❍ to keep system efficiency under control;
❍ to signal a fault which caus es emission level s to in-
creas e;
❍ to signal the need to replace deteriorated component s.
The system als o has a connector that can be interfaced
with appropriate equipment, which makes it possible to
read the error code s s tored in the control unit together with
a series of specific parameter s for engine operation and
diagnos is .
This check can al so be carried out b y traffic control au-
thorities . IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to check the
system completely
, Lancia Dealerships run a bench tes t
and, if necessary , r

oad tes ts which may also call for a long
journey .

STARTING AND DRIVING
193
3
Keep your speed down when snow chains are
fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
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 CHAINSThe use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the front wheel
(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 wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and
chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front
of the car and the space-saver wheel should be fitted to
the rear. In this way, with two normal drive wheels at the
front, snow chains can be fitted.
CAR INACTIVITYIf 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;
❍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.

❍make sure that switch C - fig. 5 for the compressor is
in position 0 (off), start the engine, insert pin E - fig.
5a into the power socket and switch on the compres-
sor by placing switch C - fig. 5 in position I (on);
❍inflate the tyre to the pressure specified in the “Infla-
tion pressure” paragraph, in chapter “6”. For a more
accurate reading, check pressure value on pressure
gauge D - fig. 5 with the compressor off;
❍if after 5 minutes you cannot reach at least 1.5 bar, un-
plug the compressor from the valve and the power
socket, then move the car forward about 10 metres in
order to distribute the sealant inside the tyre evenly,
then repeat the
inflation operation;

L0E0288m
❍if after this operation it is still not possible to reach at
least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes, do not start driving since
the tyre is excessively damaged and the quick tyre re-
pair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing. Contact a
Lancia Dealership;
❍if the tyre reaches the pressure specified in the “Infla-
tion pressure” paragraph in chapter “6”, start driving
immediately;
Apply the adhesive label in a position clear-
ly 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 or brake sud-
denly.

IN AN EMERGENCY
❍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 dri-
ve any further: the Fix & Go automatic quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suitable
sealing because the tyre is too damaged. Contact a
Lancia Dealership.
❍if you get a pressure reading of at least 1.8 bar, re-
store the correct pressure (with engine running and
handbrake on) and resume driving;
❍drive with the utmost care to the nearest Lancia Deal-
ership.
Inform the Dealership that the tyre has been
repaired using the quick tyre repair kit. Give
the booklet to the personnel charged with
handling the treated tyre.
CHECKING AND RESTORING TYRE PRESSURE
The compressor can also be used solely for restoring pres-
sure. Release the quick coupling and connect directly to
the tyre valve fig. 6; in this way, the bottle will not be con-
nected to the compressor and no sealant will be injected.

REPLACING FUSESGENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electric system: they blow in the event
of a failure or improper action on the system. Check the
condition of the corresponding fuse when a device does
not work: the filament A - fig. 37 must be intact. If it is
not, replace the blown fuse with another having the same
amperage (same colour).
Bintact fuse
C fuse with damaged filament.
To replace a fuse, use the pliers D - fig. 37 attached to
the dashboard fuse box.
Refer to the tables on the following pages to identify the
protection fuse.
fig. 37
L0E0085m
If the fuse blows again contact a Lancia
Dealership.Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires
or other materials.Never replace a fuse with another with a
higher amp rating; FIRE RISK.If a general protection fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) blows,
contact a Lancia Dealership.Before changing a fuse, check that the igni-
tion key has been removed and that all the
other electric devices have been turned
off/disabled.If a general protection fuse for safety systems
(airbag system, braking system), power unit
systems (engine system, gearbox system) ac-
tive suspension system (for versions/markets, where
provided) or steering system blows, contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.

(*) Regardless of the distance covered, the timing drive belt must be changed every 4 years for particularly demanding use (cold
climates, city driving, long periods of idling) or at least every 5 years.
(**) The actual interval for changing the oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the car usage conditions, it is signalled
by the warning light or message (if present) in the instrument panel and must never exceed 24 months.
If the car is mainly used in towns and cities, change the engine oil and filter every 12 months.
