2015 Lancia Delta power steering

184STARTING AND DRIVING
STARTING THE ENGINE
The car is fitted with an electronic engine lock device: if
the engine fails to start, see the “Lancia CODE system”
paragraph in chapter 1.
In the first period of use, we recommend
avoiding excessive stress for the car (for in-
stance excessive accelerations, extended trav-
el at maximum speed, sudden braking etc.).
With engine off, do not leave the key in the ig-
nition switch on MAR to prevent draining the
battery.
It is dangerous to let the engine run in en-
closed spaces. The engine takes in oxygen and
releases carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
and other toxic gases.
Remember that the brake servo and electri-
cal power steering system are not operational
until the engine is started, therefore a greater
effort will be required to press the brake pedal or
turn the steering wheel.

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.
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 ter-
minals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the ex-
plosive gas which could come out of the battery. If the aux-
iliary battery is installed on another car, prevent any con-
tact between metal parts of the two cars. BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow 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.

REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL 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).
B intact 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. 37L0E0085m
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.

232IN 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.
