The weight of the trailer on the car’s

tow hitch will reduce the loading ca-

pacity of the car by the same amount.

Consider the weight of the car at full

load, including accessories and luggage

to make sure you do not exceed the

maximum towable weight (shown on

the log book).

Respect the speed limits specific for

each country for vehicles towing trail-

ers. In all cases, the top speed must

not exceed 100 km/h.

The ABS with which the
car may be equipped will

not control the braking system of
the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.

WARNING

Never modify the braking
system of the car to control

the trailer brake. The trailer brak-
ing system must be fully indepen-
dent from the hydraulic system of
the car.

WARNING

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK

The towing device should be fastened

to the body by specialised personnel

according to any additional and/or in-

tegrative information supplied by the

Manufacturer of the device.

The towing device must meet current

regulations with reference to

94/20/EC Directive and subsequent

amendments.

For any version the towing device

used must match the towable weight

of the car on which it is to be in-

stalled.

For the electric connection a unified

connector should be used which is

generally placed on a special bracket

normally fastened to the towing de-

vice, and a special ECU for external

trailer light control shall be installed

on the car. 

For the electric connection, 7 or 13

pin 12VDC connection is to be used

(CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Stan-

dards). Follow the instructions pro-

vided by the car manufacturer and/or

the tow hitch manufacturer.

An electric brake should be supplied

directly by the battery through a ca-

ble with a cross section of no less than

2.5 mm2,5.

IMPORTANT Electric brake or other

device shall be used with running en-

gine.

In addition to the electric branches,

the car’s electric system can only be

connected to the supply cable for an

electric brake and to the cable for an

internal light, though not above 15W.

For connections use the preset control

unit with battery cable no less than

2.5 mm

SNOW TYRES

Use snow tyres of the same size as the

normal tyres provided with the car.

Lancia Dealership will be happy to

provide advice concerning the most

suitable type of tyre for the customer’s

requirements.

For the type of tyre to be used, infla-

tion pressures and the specifications

of snow tyres, follow the instructions

given in paragraph “Wheels” in sec-

tion “Technical specifications”.

The performance of these tyres is con-

siderably reduced when the tread

depth is less than 4 mm. Replace

them in this case.

Due to their specific features, the per-

formance of snow tyres is much lower

than that of normal types in normal

conditions or long motorway

stretches. Limit performance accord-

ing the use for which they were ap-

proved.

IMPORTANT When snow tyres are

used with a max speed index below

the one that can be reached by the car

(increased by 5%), place a notice in

the passenger’s compartment, plainly

in the driver’s view which states the

max permissible speed of the snow

tyres (as per EC Directive).

All four tyres should be the same

(brand and track) to ensure greater

safety when driving and braking and

better driveability.

Remember that it is inappropriate to

change the direction of rotation of

tyres.

The top speed of a “T”
type snow tyre is 190

km/h. Respect the highway code in
all cases.

SNOW CHAINS

Use of snow chains should be in com-

pliance with local regulations.

The snow chains may be applied only

onto the front wheel tyres (drive

wheels). Use of Lineaccessori Lancia

snow chains is recommended.

Check the tension of the chains after

the first few metres have been driven.

IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be

fitted on the space saver wheel. In

case of puncture to a front tyre, re-

place a rear wheel using the space

saver spare and fit the normal size

wheel on the front axle. In this way,

you can fit snow chains on the two

front wheels. 

The tyres which are suitable for fitting snow chains and the type
of chain which can be used are shown in the table above. Follow
indications carefully.

Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not
exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and
also avoid driving long distances on roads not covered with
snow in order to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.

Tyres suitable for fitting

CAR INACTIVITY

If the car is to be left inactive for

longer than a month, the following

precautions should be noted:
❒ park the car in covered, dry and if

possible well-ventilated premises;

❒ engage a gear;
❒ check that the handbrake is not

engaged;

❒ disconnect the negative battery

terminal and check battery charge.

Repeat this check once every three

months during storage. Recharge

the battery if the optical indicator

shows a dark colour without the

central green area;

❒ clean and protect the painted parts

using protective wax;

❒ clean and protect the shiny metal

parts using special compounds

readily available;

❒ sprinkle talcum powder on the rub-

ber windscreen and rear window

wiper blades and lift them off the

glass;

❒ slightly open the windows;
❒ cover the car with a fabric or per-

forated plastic terrapin. Do not use

compact plastic sheets which do not

allow humidity to evaporate from

the surface of the car.

❒ inflate tyres to a pressure of +0,5

bar above the normal specified

pressure and check it at intervals;

❒ if you don’t disconnect the battery

from the electric system, check its

charge every month and recharge it

if the optical indicator shows a dark

colour without the central green

area;

❒ do not drain the engine cooling sys-

tem.

MESSAGES

GENERAL WARNINGS
Warning lights are associated to a spe-

cific message and/or buzzer when ap-

plicable. Indications are brief and pre-

cautionary and as such must non be

considered as exhaustive and/or alter-

native to the information contained in

the Owner’s Handbook, which you are

recommended to read carefully in all

cases. Refer to the information in this

chapter in the event of a failure in-

dication .
IMPORTANT Failure indications on

the display fall into either of two cat-

egories: serious faults and less seri-

ous faults.
A warning cycle will be repeated in

case of severe failures until the case

of the problem is eliminated.
A shorter warning cycle will be run in

case of less severe faults.
Press MODE to stop the warning cy-

cle in both cases. The warning light

on the instrument panel will stay on

until the cause of the fault is elimi-

nated.

WARNING

LIGHTS AND

MESSAGES

If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light 

¬

does not turn on or if it stays on
when travelling (together with the
message on the multifunctional
display, where provided) there
could be a failure in safety sys-
tems; in this event air bags or pre-
tensioners may not be deployed in
case of impact or, in a minor num-
ber of cases, they be deployed ac-
cidentally. Contact Lancia Dealer-
ship immediately to have the sys-
tem checked.

Failure of warning light 

¬

is indicated by warning

light “ which will blink for longer
than the normal 4 seconds indicat-
ing that the front passenger airbag
is off. The airbag system will au-
tomatically deactivate the passen-
ger airbag (front and side, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided). In
this case, warning light 

¬

may not

indicate fault to the system. Con-
tact Lancia Dealership immedi-
ately to have the system checked.  

WARNING

WARNING

HOT ENGINE COOLANT

(red)

When the ignition key is

moved to MAR, the warning

light turns on and should go off after

a few seconds.

The warning light turns on when the

engine is overheated. 

If the warning light comes on, proceed

as follows:
❒ during normal travel: stop the

car, stop the engine and check that

the water level in the vessel is not

under the MIN line. In this case,

wait for a few minutes for the en-

gine to cool down when slowly and

carefully open the cap, top-up with

coolant and check that the level is

between the MIN and MAX refer-

ences on the vessel itself. Also check

for leakages. Go to a Lancia Deal-

ership if the warning should come

on when the engine is started again.

u

❒ In the case of demanding use

(e.g. towing trailers uphill or car at

full load): slow down and stop the

car if the warning light stays on.

Stand for 2 or 3 minutes with the

engine running and slightly acceler-

ated to promote a better circulation

of coolant. Then stop the engine.

Check correct liquid level as de-

scribed above.

IMPORTANT After taxing operation,

it is advisable to keep the engine on

and slightly accelerated for a few min-

utes before switching it off.

The display will show the dedicated

message.

LOW BATTERY

CHARGE (red)

When the ignition key is

moved to MAR, the warning

light turns on and should go out as

soon as the engine is started (with the

engine running at idle speed a brief

delay in going out is allowed). Go to

EXHAUSTED ENGINE OIL 
(only Multijet versions 
with DPF - red)

When the ignition key is turned to

MAR (ON), the warning light switches

on and should go out as soon as the

engine is started. 

1. Low engine oil pressure

The warning light turns on and stays

on constantly (for versions/markets,

where provided) along with the mes-

sage on the display when the system

detects that engine oil pressure is low.

v

2. Exhausted engine oil 

(only Multijet versions 
with DPF)

The warning light will flash and 

a specific message will appear on the

display (for versions/markets, where

provided). The warning light may

flash in the following ways, depend-

ing on the version:

– for 1 minute every two hours;

– for 3 minute cycles with the warn-

ing light off for intervals of 5 seconds

until oil is changed.

After the initial warning, each time

the engine is started up, the warning

light will continue to flash in the

above mentioned modes, until the oil

is changed. A specific message will

appear on the display (for versions/

markets, where provided) in addition

to the warning light.

If the warning light flashes, this does

not mean that the car is defective but

simply informs the driver that it is

now necessary to change the oil as 

a result of regular vehicle use.

If the warning light 

v

turns on when the vehicle

is travelling (on certain versions
together with the message on the
display) stop the engine immedi-
ately and contact a Lancia Deal-

ership.

WARNING

Note that engine oil is exhausted faster

under the following circumstances:

– use of the vehicle prevalently for city

driving, requiring more frequent re-

generation of DPF

– use of the vehicle for short drives, in

which the engine does not have time

to reach its regular operating temper-

ature  

– repeated interruption of the regen-

eration process, signalled by the DPF

warning light coming on. 

WARNING

Exhausted engine oil should
be replaced as soon as pos-

sible after the warning light comes
on, never more than 500 km after
the warning light first comes on.
Failure to change the oil within the
first 500 km may result in severe
damage to the engine and will re-
sult in forfeiture of the warranty.
Remember that when the warning
light flashes, it does not mean that
the level of engine oil is low, so if
the light flashes you must not top
up.

home” in section “Dashboard and

controls”).

The display will show the dedicated

message.

FOG LIGHTS (green)

The warning light comes on

when the fog lights are on.

5

Speed limit exceeded

The display will show the dedicated

message when the car exceeds the set

speed limit (see “Multifunctional Dis-

play” in section “Dashboard and con-

trols”).

DPF regeneration, but only when dri-

ving conditions require notification of

the driver. To switch the warning

light off, the car must stay in motion

until regeneration has been com-

pleted. The process normally takes

about 15 minutes. The optimum con-

ditions to end the process are achieved

by keeping the car in motion up to

60km/h with an engine speed higher

than 2,000 rpm. This light coming on

is not a car defect and therefore the

car does not need to go to the work-

shop. A specific message will appear

on the display when the warning light

comes on (for versions/markets, where

provided).

WARNING

Always drive at a speed
appropriate to the traffic

conditions, the weather and speed
limits.  The engine may be turned
off while the DPF light is on; how-
ever, repeated interruption of the
regeneration process may result in
premature exhaustion of engine oil.
For this reason it is always advis-
able to wait for the light to go off
before turning off the engine, fol-
lowing the instructions appearing
above. It is not advisable to com-
plete DPF regeneration with the
vehicle stationary
