IN AN EMERGENCY
When towing, remember that without the help
of the brake servo and electric power steer-
ing, a greater effort is required on the pedal
and steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During towing,
make sure that the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing the car, 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
or transport via a breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks
MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles off the road or
where there are obstacles and/or for towing oper-
ations using cables or other non-rigid devices. Re-
specting the above conditions, towing must take
place with two vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the same centre
line.
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.

REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the ser-
vice intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” will
no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for main-
tenance.
Advanced ESP system
If the battery is disconnected, the áwarning light will
switch on (together with a message in the display) to in-
dicate that the system must be realigned. To s witch thewarning light off, carry out the following initialisation pro-
cedure:
❍turn the ignition key to MAR:
❍turn the steering wheel fully both clockwise and anti-
clockwise (to move from the position with the wheels
straight);
❍turn the ignition key to STOP and then to MAR.
If the áwarning light does not go out after a few seconds,
go to a Lancia Dealership. 244
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames or possible sources of sparks away
from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.Using the battery when the fluid is too low
can damage it irreparably and generate a
risk of explosion.
BATTERYThe car is fitted with a low-maintenance battery F - fig.
1: no electrolyte top-ups with distilled water are needed
in standard conditions of use.
It does need to be checked regularly at a Lancia Dealer-
ship or by specialised personnel to make sure that it is
working properly.
