REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded
petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than
95 in compliance with the European Standard
EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the
above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to come on and the
irregular operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel
conforming to the European specification
EN590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty.

place the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress
the clutch pedal, without pressing the
accelerator, then turn the ignition key to the
MAR position and wait for the
andwarning lights to switch off (diesel
versions); turn the ignition key to the AVV
position and release it as soon as the engine
starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

temperatures during operation. Do not park
the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles
or other flammable material: fire hazard.RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the components
related to emissions to ensure increased respect
for the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of
gradually draining the battery), contact a
Lancia Dealership. They can calculate the
overall electrical requirement and check that
the car's electric system can support the
required load.

the display, the GSI is advising the driver to
engage a higher gear, while the SHIFT DOWN
SHIFT) icon advises the driver to engage a
lower gear.
The indication in the instrument panel remains on
until the driver changes gear or the driving
conditions return to a situation where changing
gear is not required to improve consumption.WELCOME MOVEMENT

Start of journey procedure
With ignition key at MAR, press and hold the
TRIP button for more than 2 seconds to reset.

THE LANCIA CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from theft, it has been
fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is
automatically activated when the ignition key
is removed.
Each key contains an electronic device which
modulates the signal emitted during ignition by an
antenna built into the ignition device. The signal
is the "password", different every time the car
is started, through which the control unit
recognises the key and enables starting.OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning the ignition
key to MAR, the Lancia CODE system control
unit sends an acknowledgement code to the engine
control unit to deactivate the immobilizer. The
code is sent only if the control unit of the Lancia
CODE system has acknowledged the code received
from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the
Lancia CODE system deactivates the functions
of the engine management control unit. If, during
starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the
warning light switches on in the instrument
panel. In this case, turn the key to STOP and then
to MAR; if it is still locked, try again with the
other keys that come with the vehicle. Contact a
Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.
Warning light
switching on while driving
If the
warning light switches on, this means
that the system is running a self-diagnosis (for
example for a voltage drop). If the problem
persists, contact a Lancia Dealership.
