ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
iTPMS System (indirect
Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
67) 68) 69) 70) 71) 72)
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tire Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by the
warning
light continuously lit on the instrument
panel and a dedicated warning
message on the display.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is in any case
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
The system does not recognise the tyre
pressure value, but it is able to indicate
if the pressure of one or more tyres
falls below a certain pressure threshold.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.Reset procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driving on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the Reset
procedure is carried out.
The Reset procedure must be carried
out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is
fitted.
Before carrying out the Reset
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the Reset procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on
one or more tyres.
To carry out the RESET procedure, with
the car stopped and the ignition device
at MAR, use the Main Menu as follows:
briefly press thebutton: the
display will show Reset;
press thebutton or the
button to select ("Yes" or "No");
briefly press thebutton: the
display will show "Confirm";
pressbutton orto select
("Yes" to Reset or "No" to exit the video
page);
press thebutton again to return
to the standard screen or to the main
menu according to where you are in the
menu.
At the end of the Reset procedure the
display will show the "Reset saved"
message, indicating that the self-
learning has been started and you will
hear an acoustic warning beep.
If the iTPMS self-learning is not properly
executed, the message is not
displayed, and no beep is heard.
Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the road
surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced
roads...) the signalling may be delayed
or partial in detecting the contemporary
deflation of more than one tyre.

SAFETY
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.

move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least one second, then release it: the
speed is memorised and you can
therefore release the accelerator pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for
instance), you can accelerate simply by
pressing the accelerator pedal: when
you release the pedal, the car goes
back to the speed memorised
previously.
Increasing the stored speed
In can take place in two ways: pressing
the accelerator and memorising the
new speed or moving the stalk fig. 74
upwards (+), until reaching the new
speed, which will be memorised
automatically.Reducing the memorised speed
In can take place in two ways:
deactivating the devices and
memorising the new speed or moving
the stalk fig. 74 downwards (-) until
reaching the new speed, which will be
memorised automatically.
TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:by turning ring nut A fig. 74 to the
OFF position;
by switching off the engine;
by pressing the brake pedal, the
clutch or the accelerator; in this last
case the system is not completely
deactivated but gives priority to the
acceleration request. The device still
remains active, without the need to
press the RES button to return to the
previous conditions once acceleration is
concluded.
Automatic deactivation
The device deactivates automatically in
the following cases: activation of the
ABS or ESC system, vehicle speed
below the predefined limit, system
failure.
WARNING
116)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
117)In the event of device faults or failures,
turn knob A to OFF and contact a Lancia
Dealership.

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
132)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is of about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
standard tyre on a rim that is designed for
use with a space-saver wheel. Have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads
before fitting: they could come unscrewed.
133)The jack shall only be used for raising
the car model it has been supplied with.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as raising other car models. Never
use the jack for repair operations under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the vehicle to fall. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. The space-saver wheel
cannot be fitted with snow chains. If a
front (drive) tyre is punctured and chains
are needed, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel
on the rear axle. In this way, with two
normal drive wheels at the front axle, it is
possible to use snow chains.
134)If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it
may come off when the car is travelling.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim
and tyre. Check tyre and space-saver
wheel pressures regularly, complying with
the values given in the "Technical
specifications" chapter.135)Be very careful when removing/
refitting the hub cap due to the proximity of
the brake disc. We recommend using
heat protection gloves.
WARNING
54)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw"
and joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
55)Contact a Lancia Dealership as soon
as possible to have the correct tightening
of the wheel bolts checked.
