REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel the car with unleaded

petrol with a RON of at least 95.

K

Diesel engines: refuel the car exclusively with diesel fuel for
motor vehicles conforming to the European specification
EN590.

The use of other products or mixtures may damage the
engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the
warranty, depending on the damage caused.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is

engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress
the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn
the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the
engine has started.

Diesel engines turn the ignition key to MAR and wait until
the warning lights go off. Y Then m, turn the ignition key
to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL



RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The catalytic converter reaches high temperatures
during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire risk.

The car is fitted with a system that carries out a
continuous diagnosis of the emission-related
components in order to help protect the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical

쇵

accessories (that may gradually drain the battery),
visit aLancia Dealership. They can calculate the
overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s
electric system can support the required load.

CODE CARD

Keep this in a safe place, not in the car. We
recommend that you always carry the electronic code
provided on the CODE card with you, in case you
need to perform an emergency start.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

Correct car maintenance is essential to ensure that
the performance, safety features, environmental
friendliness and low running costs stay in tip-top
condition over the years.

THE OWNER’S MANUAL CONTAINS…

... important information and warnings on the correct
use and maintenance of your car over time as well as
safe driving tips. Particular attention should be paid
to information marked with the following symbols:

" (personal safety) # (environmental protection)
â (car integrity).

If the multifunction display shows a message reading “See

TRIP COMPUTER

GENERAL FEATURES

The Trip computer is used to display information on car
operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function
allows you to define two separate trips called “Trip A” and
“Trip B” for monitoring the car’s complete mission (trip)
in a mutually independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset - start of new mission).
Trip A can be used to display figures relating to:

– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average fuel consumption
– Instantaneous fuel consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
– Trip A Reset

The Trip B function is used to display information relat­ing to:

– Distance travelled B
– Average fuel consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
– Trip B Reset

Note “Trip B” functions may be excluded (see “Enabling
Trip B”). “Range” and “Instantaneous fuel consumption”
parameters cannot be reset.

Values displayed

Range

Approximately indicates the distance the vehicle can trav­el with the present amount of fuel in the tank. The message
“- - - -” will appear on the display in the following cases:

– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with the engine running for a long time.

IMPORTANT Changes in the range value can be affect­ed by many factors: driving style (see “Driving style” in
“Starting up and driving”), type of route (motorway, ur­ban cycle, mountain roads, etc…), conditions of use of the
car (load, tyre pressure, etc.). The above notes should
therefore be taken into consideration when planning a trip.

Distance travelled

This indicates the approximate distance covered from the
start of the new mission.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

35

Average fuel consumption

This value shows the approximate average fuel con­sumption from the start of the new mission.

Instantaneous fuel consumption

This indicates any change in fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The message “- - - -” will appear on the
display if the car is parked with the engine running.

Average speed

This value shows the average speed of the car based on
the overall time elapsed since the start of the new mission.

Travel time

This value shows the time elapsed since the start of the
new mission.

THE LANCIA CODE SYSTEM

This is an electrical engine locking system which increases
protection against an attempted theft of the car. It is auto­matically activated when the ignition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during ignition by an antenna built in­to the ignition device. This signal is the ‘password’ which
changes at each ignition and which the control unit uses
to recognise the key and allow ignition.

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 inhibitor.
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 electronic
engine control unit.
If the code is not recognised correctly during ignition, the
Y warning light (or symbol in the display) comes on.

In this case turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if
the lock persists try again with the spare set of keys. Con­tact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the en­gine.

IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be
stored by the system control unit. To have new keys mem­orised (up to a maximum number of eight keys), contact
a Lancia Dealership and be ready to present all the keys
you have at present, the CODE card, a personal identity
document and the car ownership documents. The codes
of any keys not presented during the memorising proce­dure will be deleted. This is to prevent lost or stolen keys
from starting the engine.

Y warning light (or symbol in the display) lit up
during driving

H If the Y warning light (or symbol in the display)

comes on, this means that the system is running a self­diagnosis test (caused, for example, by a voltage drop).

H If the Y warning light (or symbol in the display) remains

on, contact a Lancia dealership.

The electronic components inside the key may
be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp

knocks.

ALARM (where provided)

1

The alarm, which is provided in addition to the remote
control functions described previously, is controlled by a
receiver located under the dashboard, near the fuse box.

ALARM TRIPPING

The alarm trips in the following cases:
H when a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened ille-

gally (perimeter protection);

H when the ignition system is operated (ignition key ro-

tated to MAR);

H when the battery cables are cut;
H when someone is moving inside the passenger com-

partment (volume-sensing protection);
H when the vehicle is lifted or tilted.
According to the market, when the alarm is tripped this

operates the alarm siren and direction indicators (for ap­proximately 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and the number
of cycles depend on the sales market.

There are a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles.
When this is reached the system returns to normal oper­ation.

The volume sensing and anti-tilt protection can be ex­cluded by adjusting the dedicated control on the front
courtesy light (see “volume sensing/anti-tilt protection”).

IGNITION SWITCH

The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 15:
H STOP: the engine is off, the key can be extracted, the

steering is locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. car ra­dio, central door locking system, etc.) are enabled

H MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are en-

abled
H AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety sys-

tem that requires the ignition key to be turned back to
STOP if the engine will not start, before the starting op­eration can be repeated.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

Engagement

When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the
steering wheel until it locks.

Disengagement

Move the steering wheel slightly as you turn the ignition
key to MAR.

IMPORTANT In some parking conditions (e.g.: wheels
turned) the effort required to move the steering wheel and
disengage the steering lock may be increased.

Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel would lock as

soon as the steering wheel is turned. This al­so applies to when the car is towed. Under no cir­cumstances should after-market operations be car­ried out involving steering system or steering col­umn modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device). This could negatively affect performance
and safety, invalidate the warranty and also re­sult in vehicle non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.

When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the car
speed may exceed the memorised one.
The engagement of the device is signalled by the Ü warn-
ing light lighting up in the instrument panel (together with
a message shown on the display) (see “Instrument panel
warning lights” in chapter 1).

MEMORISING VEHICLE SPEED

Proceed as follows:
H turn selector wheel A-fig. 31 to ON and press the ac-

celerator until the vehicle reaches the desired speed;

H turn selector wheel B to (+) for at least three seconds

and then release it: the car speed will be memorised
and the accelerator pedal may be released.

If required (e.g. for overtaking), press the accelerator ped­al to accelerate: the car will return to the previously set
speed when the pedal is released.

RESTORING MEMORISED SPEED

If the device has been disengaged, for example by press­ing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed can
be reset as follows:
H accelerate gradually until you reach a speed ap-

proaching the one memorised;

H engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-

rising (4th, 5th or 6th gear);

H press button C-fig. 31.

INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED

This can be carried out in two ways:
H by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the

new speed reached;
or
H by temporarily turning selector wheel B-fig. 31 to (+).
Each movement of the selector wheel will correspond to

a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the selector wheel turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.

REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED

This can be carried out in two ways:
H by disengaging the device and then memorising the

new speed;
or

H by keeping selector wheel B-fig. 31 turned to (–) un-

til the new speed is reached; it will then be memorised

automatically.
Each movement of the selector wheel will correspond to

a slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while keep­ing the selector wheel turned will correspond to a contin­uous reduction in speed.

Anti-pinch safety device

The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch safety device
for the upwards motion of the windows.
This safety system is capable of recognizing the presence
of an obstacle whilst the window is closing; when this hap­pens, the system stops the travel of the glass and, de­pending on the position of the window, reverses its move­ment.
This device is also useful when the windows are activat­ed accidentally by children on board the vehicle.
The anti-pinch function is active both during manual and
automatic operation of the electric windows. Following
the intervention of the anti-pinch system, the window trav­el is immediately interrupted and subsequently reversed
until the lower end of travel is reached. During this time
the window cannot be operated in any way.

IMPORTANT If the anti-pinch protection intervenes 5
times consecutively within 1 minute or a system failure
is detected, the automatic window closing function is in­hibited. The window can then only be operated in steps of
half a second and the button must be released following
each step.

One of the following manoeuvres must be carried out in
order to restore correct operation:

H switch off and restart the engine;
H fully lower the window concerned.

IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the
electric windows remain active for about 3 minutes and
are deactivated the moment a door is opened.

H after the window has reached the upper end of travel,

hold the up button pressed for at least one second.

IMPORTANT Where provided, following the disconnec­tion of the power supply (replacing or disconnecting the
battery or replacing the protection fuse for the electric win­dows control units), the automatic setting for the electric
windows must be reset.

The reset operation should be carried out with the doors
closed according to the following procedure:

1. completely lower the driver-side window and keep the
button pressed for at least 3 seconds once the end of
travel position has been reached;

2. completely raise the driver-side window and keep the
button pressed for at least 3 seconds once the end of
travel position has been reached;

3. repeat stages 1 and 2 for the passenger-side window

4. check that the initialisation has taken place correctly
by checking the automatic operation of the windows.

IMPORTANT With central locking on, operating the in­ternal handle of one of the doors will unlock all the doors.
If there is no power (blown fuse, battery disconnected,
etc.) the doors can still be locked manually. As in this case
the automatic window opening function is not available,
to open or close the door with the window closed, apply
pressure to the window towards the vehicle interior, to aid
the passage of the window against the trim.
