STARTING THE
ENGINE
107) 108)34) 35) 36) 37)
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors,
the door mirrors and fasten the seat
belt correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake and put the
gear lever in neutral.On 0.9 TwinAir
versionsengage the handbrake and
place the gear lever in neutral or fully
press the clutch pedal if a gear other
than neutral is engaged;
for all versions (except 0.9
TwinAir)fully depress the clutch pedal
without touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts.
DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake and put the
gear lever in neutral;
turn the ignition key to MAR: the
warning lights
andon the
instrument panel will turn on;
wait for the warning lightsand
to switch off;
fully depress the clutch pedal
without touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to the AVV
position as soon as the warning light
turns off. Waiting too long will waste
the heating work carried out by the
plugs. Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
IMPORTANT With cold engine, the
accelerator must be entirely released
when turning the ignition key to position
AVV. If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
to STOP before repeating the starting
procedure. If, when the ignition key is at
MAR, the instrument panel warning
light
remains lit, turn the key to
STOP and then back to MAR. If the
warning light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still
cannot start the engine.VERSIONS WITH DUAL
FUNCTION SYSTEM
TRANSMISSION
109)
The system allows the engine to be
started both with a gear engaged and
with the transmission in neutral (N).
However, the brake pedal must always
be pressed first if neutral is not
engaged. It is therefore advisable to
position the gear lever at N before
starting the engine.
LPG AND NATURAL
POWER VERSIONS
38)
The engine always starts up on petrol
independently of the previously
selected mode.
SWITCHING OFF THE
ENGINE
39)
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the
engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a demanding drive,
before turning the engine off you should
allow it to idle to allow the temperature
in the engine compartment to
decrease.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
107)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and engine exhaust contains
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and
other toxic gasses.
108)Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, therefore much
effort than usual is required on the brake
pedal and steering wheel.
109)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the gearbox is
automatically placed in neutral will be
signalled by a buzzer.
WARNING
34)The flashing of the warning lightfor
60 seconds after starting or during
prolonged cranking of the engine indicates
a fault with the glow plug heating system.
You can use the car as usual if the engine
starts but you should contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.
35)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your car (e.g. excessive
acceleration, long distances at maximum
rpm, excessively intense braking, etc.)
when it is first used.
36)When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.37)Never, under any circumstances, jump
start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
38)There must therefore always be
enough petrol in the tank to protect the
petrol pump and to guarantee temporary
switching from methane to petrol
operation, if high performance is required.
39)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely
no practical purpose, it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
HANDBRAKE
110) 111) 112)
The handbrake lever is located between
the two front seats.
Handbrake engagement: pull lever A
fig. 69 upwards until the vehicle is
braked.
Handbrake disengagement: slightly
raise lever A and press the release
button B fig. 69 checking that the
warning light
switches off in the
instrument panel.

INFLATION PROCEDURE
141) 142) 143) 144)
Proceed as follows:
Pull the handbrake.Unscrew the
tyre valve cap, take out the filler hose
A fig. 112 and tighten the ring nut B on
the tyre valve;
make sure that the compressor
switch is in position 0 (off), then start
the engine;
insert the plug into the socket
located on the centre tunnel and
operate the compressor putting the
switch in position I (on).
Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in the "Inflation pressure"
paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" section. Check tyre
pressure on the gauge with compressor
off to obtain a more precise reading;
if after five minutes it is still
impossible to reach at least 1.8 bar,
disengage the compressor from the
valve and power socket, then move the
car forwards by approx. ten metres in
order to distribute the sealing fluid
inside the tyre evenly, then repeat the
inflation operation;
if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes
from switching on the compressor,
do not resume driving but contact a
Lancia Dealership;
after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check the tyre pressure again;
pull up the handbrake. For the safety
of the car when it is parked, follow
the indication in the paragraph "When
parked" in the chapter "Starting up and
driving".
if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with the engine running and
the handbrake engaged), resume
driving and drive with care to nearest
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
136)Give the instruction brochure to the
personnel charged with handling the
tyre treated with the quick tyre repair kit.
137)Holes and damage on the tyre side
walls cannot be repaired. Do not use
the quick tyre repair kit if the tyre is
damaged as a result of driving with it
deflated.
138)Repairs are not possible in the case
of damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
the foreign body (screws or nails) from
the tyre.
139)Never operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk
of overheating. Tyres repaired with the
quick tyre repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not suitable for a
definitive repair.

SERVICING AND CARE

rinse well with water and dry with a
jet of air or a chamois.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door
frames, bonnet, headlight frames etc.)
with special care, as water may
stagnate more easily in these areas.
The car should not be taken to a closed
area immediately, but left outside so
that residual water can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been
left in the sun or with the bonnet hot:
this may alter the shine of the
paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the
vehicle.
Avoid parking under trees; the resin
dropped by trees makes the paintwork
go opaque and increases the possibility
of corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
66)8)
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean
cloths to prevent scratching or altering
the transparency.IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window
inside gently with a cloth following the
direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones (e.g.
acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses
of the headlights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning with a
pressure washer, keep the water jet at
least 20 cm away from the headlights.
Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the
engine compartment thoroughly, taking
care not to aim the jet of water directly
at the electronic control units or at
the windscreen wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take
place with the engine cold and the
ignition key in the STOP position. After
the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
WARNING
66)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
WARNING
8)Detergents pollute the environment.
Only wash your vehicle in areas equipped
to collect and treat wastewater from this
type of activity.
