STARTING
THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT The car is equipped
with electronic engine immobilising
system. If the engine fails to start,
see paragraph “Lancia CODE sys-
tem”.
We recommend that
during the initial period
you do not drive to full
car performance (e.g.: excessive
accelerations, long journeys at
top speed, sharp braking etc.).
It is dangerous to let the
engine run in a garage or
other closed area. The
engine consumes oxygen and
gives off carbon oxide, a poiso-
nous gas.
The ignition device is fitted with a
safety device which obliges the dri-
ver to return the key to STOP posi-
tion before repeating the starting
procedure.
In the same way, when the engine
is running, this device prevents any
shift from MAR to AVV.
Never leave the ignition
key at MAR when the
engine is off to prevent
battery draining due to current
absorption.
