2015 Lancia Delta ABS

186STARTING AND DRIVING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, tow-
ing or coasting downhill. This could cause fu-
el to flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE
AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❍ drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
speed. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❍ do not demand maximum performance for the first few
kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge starts
moving. ENGINE SWITCHING OFF
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a demanding drive, you should al-
low the engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off
by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the engine
compartment to fall.
A quick burst on the accelerator before turn-
ing off the engine serves absolutely no prac-
tical purpose; it wastes fuel and is especially
damaging to turbocharged engines.

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT
For towing caravans or trailers the car must be fitted with
a certified tow hook and an adequate electrical system. In-
stallation should be carried out by specialised personnel
who will issue the required papers for travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional door mirrors as spec-
ified by the Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are hard-
er to climb, braking spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than con-
stantly using the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the car tow hook reduces
the car’s loading capacity by the same amount. To make
sure that the maximum towable weight is not exceeded
(given in the car registration document) account should
be taken of the fully laden trailer, including accessories
and luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits specific to each country you
are driving in, in the case of vehicles towing trailers. In
any case, the top speed must not exceed 100 km/h.
The ABS with which the vehicle may be
equipped does not control the braking system
of the trailer. Take specific care when trav-
elling on slippery roads.
Never modify the braking system of the car
to control the trailer brake. The trailer brak-
ing system must be fully independent from
the hydraulic system of the car.

Engine compartment fuse box fig. 40 and 41
A second fuse box is located on the right side of the en-
gine compartment, next to the battery. To access this fuse
box release the side tabs and remove cover L. The ID num-
ber of the electrical component corresponding to each fuse
can be found on the back of the cover.

If you need to wash the engine compartment,
take care not to directly aim for the engine
compartment fuse box with the jet of water.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHER FLUID
C - fig. 1
Remove the cap, operating on the special tab, to add fluid.
Use a mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35 fluid, in the following concentrations:
❍30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 70% wa-
ter in summer.
❍ 50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 50% wa-
ter in winter.
In case of temperatures below –20°C, use undiluted
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 fluid.
Check fluid level through the reservoir.
Close the plug by pressing the centre section.
Do not travel with the windscreen washer
fluid reservoir empty: the windscreen wash-
er is essential for improving visibility.
Some commercial windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment contains hot
parts which could cause a fire if they come into con-
tact with these additives.
BRAKE FLUID D - Fig. 1
Undo the plug and check that the liquid contained in the
reservoir is at the maximum level. The fluid level in the
reservoir must not exceed the MAX mark. If you need to
top up, you should use the brake fluid shown in the “Flu-
ids and lubricants” table (see chapter “6”).
NOTE Carefully clean the plug of the reservoir and the
surrounding surface.
Take great care to ensure that impurities do not enter the
reservoir when the plug is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with integrated filter
with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs
moisture). For this reason, if the car is mainly used in ar-
eas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity, the flu-
id should be replaced at more frequent intervals than spec-
ified in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
