190STARTING AND DRIVING
DRIVING STYLE
Cranking
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when the
car is stationary: under these conditions the engine warms
up much more slowly, increasing consumption and emis-
sions. It is therefore advisable to move off immediately,
slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way the engine will
warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when at traffic lights or before stopping
the engine. The latter action, like double-declutching, is
completely unnecessary and causes increased fuel con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road permit,
use a higher gear. Using a low gear for faster accelera-
tion will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases con-
sumption, emissions and engine wear.
Max. speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed in-
creases. Maintain a constant speed, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cost in terms of both fu-
el consumption and emissions.Acceleration
Accelerating violently will greatly affect consumption and
emissions: acceleration should be gradual.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts do not allow the
engine to reach optimum operating temperature. This re-
sults in a significant increase in consumption levels (from
+15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and emissions.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high fuel consumption is caused by heavy traffic,
for instance when travelling in a queue with frequent use
of low gears or in large towns with many traffic lights.
Mountain and rough roads also have a negative effect on
fuel consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. level crossings) the engine
should be switched off.

Never remove or cover the label. Never apply
a hub cap on a space-saver wheel. The la-
bel bears the following instructions in four
languages: WARNING! FOR TEMPORARY USE
ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX.! REPLACE WITH STAN-
DARD WHEEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT
COVER THIS LABEL.
If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead
of steel rims) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized
bolts.
Alert other drivers that the car is stationary
in compliance with local regulations: hazard
warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any
passengers on board should leave the car, especial-
ly if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is be-
ing changed. If parked on a slope or rough surface,
chock the wheels with wedges or other suitable de-
vices.
204IN AN EMERGENCY
The jack can only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provided
or on cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the
car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher than
those shown on the label. Snow chains cannot be fit-
ted to the space-saver wheel. Therefore, if a front
(drive) wheel is punctured and chains are required,
a rear wheel should be fitted at the front of the car
and the space-saver wheel should be fitted to the
rear. This way, with two normal front driving
wheels, you can install the snow chains on them,
thus resolving the emergency.
If the hub cap is not installed properly, it may
detach when the vehicle is running. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Never intro-
duce tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Reg-
ularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pressure,
complying with the data in the chapter “6”.

REPLACING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❍Before changing a bulb, check the contacts for oxida-
tion;
❍ burnt-out bulbs must be replaced by others of the same
type and power;
❍ always check the direction of the beam after chang-
ing a headlight bulb, for safety reasons;
❍ when a light is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before changing the bulb. For
the location of fuses, refer to the “Replacing fuses”
paragraph in this chapter.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be slight-
ly misted: this does not indicate a fault, it is a natural phe-
nomenon due to low temperature and the air humidity lev-
el. Misting will disappear rapidly when the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside the headlights in-
dicates infiltration of water. Contact a Lancia Dealership.
Modifications or repairs to the electric sys-
tem that are not carried out properly or do
not take the system technical specifications
into account can cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure, if
they break glass fragments may be thrown
around.
When handling halogen bulbs just touch the
metal part. If the transparent bulb is touched
with the fingers, its lighting intensity is re-
duced and life of the bulb may be compromised. In
the event of accidental contact, wipe the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and leave it to dry.
Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs
changed at a Lancia Dealership. Proper op-
eration and direction of the external lights
are essential for driving in safety and comply with
law.

212IN AN EMERGENCY
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp or after
heavy rain or after washing, the surface of headlights or
rear lights may steam up and/or form drops of conden-
sation on the inside. This is a natural phenomenon due
to the difference in temperature and humidity between the
inside and the outside of the glass which does not indicate
a fault and does not compromise the normal operation of
lighting devices. The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from the centre of the dif-
fuser, extending progressively towards the edges.
TYPES OF BULBS fig. 14
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your car:
A. Glass bulbs: they are press-fitted. Pull to remove them.
B. Bayonet type bulbs: to remove this type of bulb fromits holder press the bulb, turn it anticlockwise and re-
move it.
C. Tubular bulbs: to remove, release them from their con- tacts.
D-E. Halogen bulbs: to remove the bulb, release the clip holding the bulb in place.
