STARTING AND DRIVING

hand the special filler adapter (see
the following description) over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are various types of adapters for
the refuelling pump. Adapter A fig.
80, supplied with the car and located in
a special case, is specifically designed
for the country in which the car is
sold. If you are in a different country,
find out what type of adapter is used
there.Natural Power versions
50)
To access the filler C fig. 81, open the
fuel flap A and undo the cap B turning it
counterclockwise.
The profile of the filler C for refilling is
the universal type compatible with
Italian and NGV1 standards.
In some European countries adapters
are considered ILLEGAL (e.g. in
Germany).
WARNING
46)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided
for the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.47)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
48)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire
49)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with
EN 590 European specifications. The use
of other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally introduce other
types of fuel into the tank, do not start
the engine. Empty the tank. If the engine
has been run for even an extremely limited
amount of time, you must not only drain
the fuel tank, but the rest of the supply
circuit as well.
50)The other plates (provided with the
vehicle documents) show the date when
the first cylinder inspection/test is due.
Methane refuelling stations are not
authorised to refill the cylinders when the
inspection date has expired.

IN AN EMERGENCY

with a second lead, connect the
negative terminal–of the auxiliary
battery to an earth point
on
the engine or the gearbox of the car to
be started;
start the engine;
when the engine has been started,
remove the leads reversing the order
above.
For versions with Start&Stop system, to
carry out the jump starting procedure,
refer to paragraph “Start&Stop system”
in the “Knowing your vehicle” section.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact
a Lancia Dealership.IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another
car, prevent accidental contact
between metallic parts of the two cars.
WARNING
145)This starting procedure must be
performed by expert personnel because
incorrect actions could cause electrical
discharge of considerable intensity.
Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and lighted
cigarettes away from the battery and do
not cause sparks.
146)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
WARNING
57)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.58)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery. The
following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use any
other exposed metallic part.

near the tank area. After an impact, turn
the ignition key to STOP to prevent the
battery from running down.
To restore the correct operation of the
vehicle, proceed as follows:
