BATTERY
Battery F (see previous pages) does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled water. A
periodic check carried out at a Lancia Dealership
is, however, necessary to check efficiency.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If necessary, replace the battery with another
original battery with the same specifications.
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last
longer, observe the following instructions:
❒when you park the car, ensure that the doors,
tailgate and bonnet are closed properly, to
prevent any roof lights from remaining on inside
the passenger's compartment;
❒switch off all roof lights inside the car: the car is
however equipped with a system which switches
all internal lights off automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system,
hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the negative
battery cable;
❒completely tighten the battery terminals.

IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under
50% for a long time, the battery is damaged
by sulphation, reducing its capacity and efficiency
at start-up.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing
(this can happen as early as -10°C). Refer to
the paragraph "Car inactivity" in "Starting and
driving" if the car is left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the car, you wish to install
electrical accessories which require permanent
electrical supply (alarm etc.) or accessories which
influence the electrical supply requirements,
contact a Lancia Dealership, whose qualified staff
will evaluate the overall electrical consumption.
WARNING
Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery
and may cause an explosion.
Incorrect installation of electrical and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing
your car, if you wish to install any accessories
(car alarm, car phone etc.), contact a Lancia
Dealership, which will suggest the most
appropriate devices for your vehicle and will,
most importantly, advise you if a
higher-capacity battery needs to be installed.
Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment.
For battery replacement, contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
If the car will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely
cold weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to avoid it
freezing.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate goggles
when working on or near the battery.

BRAKES
The car is equipped with 4 mechanical wear
detection systems for brake pads: one for each
wheel assembly.
When the brake linings are about to wear out,
pressing the brake pedal, a light hiss is heard: this
indication lasts around 100 km (depending on
the driving style and the route type).
In these circumstances it is still possible,
proceeding with caution, to carry on driving.
In any case, contact a Lancia Dealership as soon
as possible to have the worn brake pads replaced.

SELECTING CD FUNCTION
By pressing the MEDIA button briefly it is possible
to select the CD function.
AUDIO SOURCE MEMORY FUNCTION
If another function (e.g. the radio) is selected
whilst listening to a CD, playback is interrupted
and is resumed from the same point when
returning to the CD source.
If another function is selected whilst listening to
the radio, the last station selected is tuned into
when returning to the Radio mode.
VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
Turn the
(ON/OFF) button/knob to adjust the
volume.
If the volume level is changed during the
transmission of traffic news, the new setting will
only be maintained until the update is finished.MUTE/PAUSE FUNCTION
(volume reset)
Press the
button again to deactivate the Mute
function. The volume will gradually increase until
it reaches the level previously set.
When the volume level is changed using the
dedicated controls, the Mute function is
deactivated and the volume is adjusted to the new
level selected.
With the Mute function activated, it will be
ignored when there is an incoming traffic alert (if
the TA function is activated), or if an emergency
alarm is received. The function will be reactivated
when the alert is over.
280
SOUND-SYSTEM
EMERGENCY ALARM RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency alerts in RDS
mode in exceptional circumstances where
dangerous situations are threatened (earthquakes,
floods, etc.) if these are being transmitted by the
broadcaster tuned into.
This function is activated automatically and
cannot be turned off.
The word Alarm will be shown in the display
during the transmission of an emergency
announcement. The volume of the radio will
change during this announcement in the same way
as during a traffic announcement.EON FUNCTION (Enhanced Other Network)
In some countries, there are circuits that group
multiple broadcasters that transmit traffic
information together. In this case, the programme
of the station that is being listened to will be
temporarily interrupted to:
❒receive traffic alerts (only with the TA function
activated);
❒listen to regional transmissions each time these
are broadcast by one of the broadcasters on the
same circuit.
STEREOPHONIC BROADCASTERS
If the incoming signal is weak, the reproduction is
automatically switched from Stereo to Mono.

SOUND-SYSTEM
Possible error messages
If the CD loaded cannot be read (e.g. a CD ROM
has been inserted or the CD is inserted the wrong
way round or there is reading error) the display
will show the wording "CD Disc error".
The CD will then be ejected and the audio source
activated prior to the CD mode selection will be
heard.
With an external audio source activated (TA,
ALARM or Phone), the CD that cannot be read
will be not be ejected until these functions have
ended. At the end, with the CD mode activated,
the display will show the text "CD Disc error" for
a few seconds and then the CD will be ejected.
If the CD player overheats the CD playing could
be temporarily interrupted. The radio will
automatically turn to the Radio (Tuner) mode and
the display will show “CD hot” and then “CD disc
error”.DISPLAY INFORMATION
When the CD player is in operation, information
appears on the display with the following
meanings:
❒"CD Track 5": indicates the number of the CD
track;
❒"03.42": indicates the time elapsed since the
start of the track (if the relevant Menu function
is activated).
TRACK SELECTION (forward/back)
Briefly press the
button to play the previous CD
track and the
button to play the next track.
The tracks are selected cyclically: the first track is
selected after the last track and vice versa.
If the track has been played for more than 3
seconds, pressing the
button will cause the track
to be started again from the beginning.
In this case, if you want to play the previous track,
press the button twice consecutively.
