In “normal” operating mode, active shock abs orbers ad-
jus t car s uspens ions, adapting them to the ty pe of road
and to the driving stresse s, improving driving comfort in
particular on rough terrain.
In “S PORT” operating mode, the letter “S ” is lit up on the
ins trument panel dis play. This function produces a sports
driving setting featuring greater res ponsiveness during ac-
celeration and a s ports driving feeling with the steering,
a s well as the regulation and di stribution of the damping
at the s hock abs orbers guaranteeing greater vehicle pre-
cis ion and reaction, whils t maintaining a good level of
comfort. The driver will notice that the vehicle i s more
precis e when cornering and quicker in changing direction.
This function is particularly useful whenever maximum
performance i s required for a short time (e.g. when over-
taking).
IMPOR

TANT During acceleration, when the SPORT func-
tion is used, the s teering may s hudder, which i s t ypical
of a s ports setting.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the S PORT button is pressed.
REACTIVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM
(Active shock absorber system)
This system interacts with the Sport function (s ee “Sport
function” paragraph).
The SPORT button, fig. 72, allow s y ou to choos e between
two different driving s ettings depending on the route ty pe
and on the road s urface:
– with the button releas ed: “normal” mode
– with the button pressed: “S PORT” mode.

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.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the space-saver
wheel, approximately every two weeks and before long
journeys: the pressure should be checked with the tyre rest-
ed and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase as the car is used;
see the “Wheels” paragraph in chapter “6” for the correct
tyre inflation pressure.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 2:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6
mm thick. In any case, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try you are in.
fig. 2L0E0096m
IMPORTANT
❍Where possible, avoid braking suddenly, wheel-spin-
ning and crashing into curbs, potholes or other ob-
stacles. Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads
can damage the tyres;
❍ check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swellings
or irregular tread wear. Go to a Lancia Dealership if
required.
❍ avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may
cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❍ if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and change it
to avoid damage to the tyre, wheel rim, suspension and
steering system;
❍ the tyre ages even if rarely used. Cracks in the tread and
on the side walls are a sign of ageing. Have the tyres
checked by specialised personnel if they have been fit-
ted for longer than 6 years. Remember to check the
space-saver wheel very carefully;
❍ when replacing the tyres, always fit new tyres, avoid-
ing those of dubious origin;
