STARTING AND DRIVING
STARTING THE ENGINE
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ engage the handbrake and place the gearbox in
neutral;
❒ press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator;
❒ turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as
soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
return the ignition key to STOP before repeating
the procedure.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, the
instrument panel warning light
remains on
together with warning light
, turn the key to
STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light
remains on, try the other keys provided with the
vehicle.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot
start the engine.
Never leave the ignition key in MAR position when
the engine is stopped.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ engage the handbrake and place the gearbox in
neutral;
❒ turn the ignition key to MAR: the warning lights
and on the instrument panel will turn
on;
❒ wait for the warning lights
and to
switch off;
❒ press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator;
❒ turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning
light
switches off. Waiting too long will
waste the work done by the glow 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
