Lancia Lybra Owner's Handbook Manual - 159
HOW TO WARM UP THE
ENGINE AFTER IS HAS JUST
STARTED
(petrol and jtd versions)
– Begin to move forward slowly let-
ting the engine turn at medium revs.
Do not accelerate abruptly.
– Do not push the engine to its limit
for the first few kilometres. You are
recommended to wait until the coolant
temperature has reached 50° to 60°C.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the Lancia CODE system fails to
recognise that code transmitted by the
ignition key (instrument panel warn-
ing light
¢ or U on) the emergency
start– up can be performed by using
the CODE card code.
See “In an emergency”.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while
the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive
you should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by let-
ting it idle to allow the temperature in
the engine compartment to fall.
159
Never bump start the en-
gine (by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill) as this
could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic exhaust system and dam-
age it beyond repair.
Remember that until the
engine has started the
brake booster and power
steering systems will not work and
a greater effort will therefore be
required to press the brake pedal
or turn the steering wheel.
A quick burst on the ac-
celerator before turning
off the engine serves ab-
solutely no practical purpose and
wastes fuel.
