WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and
the electric power assisted steering is not
available, greater force needs to be exerted
on the brake pedal and more effort is
required on the 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 regulations relating to the tow
hook and procedures for towing on the
road. Do not start the engine while towing
the car.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on
the road. You are allowed to tow the vehicle
for short distances using an appropriate
device in accordance with the highway code
(a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on the
road in readiness 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
operations using cables or other non-rigid
devices. In compliance with the above
conditions, towing must take place with the
two vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the same
centre line.

ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after
the engine has stopped, with the car parked on
level ground.
For 1.2 8V 69 HP and 1.3 16V MultiJet
versions
Remove the engine oil dipstick B, clean it with a
cloth that does not leave any trace and resinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
The range between the MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN mark, add
oil through the filler A until it reaches the MAX
mark.
The oil level should never exceed the
MAX mark.
For 0.9 TwinAir 85 HP versions
The engine oil dipstick A is integral with plug A.
Loosen the plug, clean the dipstick with a cloth
that does not leave traces, reinsert the dipstick
and re-tighten the plug. Extract the plug again
and check that the level is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick.Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually
400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of usage for the car, the
engine is bedding in, therefore the engine oil
consumption may settle down only after the first
5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let
the engine run for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after switching it off before checking the
level.
Do not add oil with characteristics that
are different from those of the oil
currently in the engine.Used engine oil and filter contain
harmful substances for the
environment. You are advised to go to a
Lancia Dealership to have the oil and filters
replaced.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFELancia has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant
improvement of its production processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly "eco-
compatible". To assure customers of the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws
and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Lancia
is offering their customers the opportunity of handing over their vehicle (*) at the end of its life without
incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last 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 registered after 1st July 2002 were collected free of
charge, while since 2007 collection has been free of charge irrespective 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 Lancia dealerships or
authorised collection and scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high
quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of unused vehicles with respect to the
environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Lancia
Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 526242 00 or on the Lancia website.

ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft protection
system based on the exchange of information
between the radio and the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) on the car.
This system guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being entered each
time the radio power supply is disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the radio will
start to function, whereas if the comparison codes
are not the same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the device will ask
the user to enter the secret code according to the
procedure described in the paragraph below.Entering the secret code
When the radio is switched on, if the code is
requested, the display will show "Radio code" for
about 2 seconds followed by four dashes "----".
The code is made up of four numbers from 1 to 6,
each corresponding to one of the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press the
corresponding button of the pre-selected stations
(from 1 to 6). Enter the other code digits in the
same way.
If the four digits are not entered within 20
seconds, the display will show "Enter code----".
If this occurs, it is not considered an incorrect code
entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds),
the car radio will start to work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio will emit
a sound and the display shows the text "Radio
blocked/wait" to notify the user of the need to
enter the correct code.
291
SOUND-SYSTEM
Each time the user enters an incorrect code, the
waiting time will gradually increase (1 min, 2 min,
4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h,
16 h, 24 h) up to a maximum of 24 hours.
The waiting time will be shown on the display
with the text "Radio blocked/wait". After the text
has disappeared it is possible to start the code
entering procedure again.
