8) The warning lamp 

will flash

rapidly for about 4 seconds to indicate

that the operation has been completed

correctly.

9) Start the engine by turning the ig-

nition key from MAR to AVV (with-

out turning it to STOP).

If, however, the warning lamp 

remains lit, turn the ignition key

to STOP and repeat the procedure

from step 1.

IMPORTANT After an emergency

start, you should contact a LANCIA

Dealership immediately, otherwise

you will have to repeat the procedure

described each time you want to start

the engine.

JUMP STARTING

If the battery is flat, you can use an-

other battery to start the engine. Its

capacity must be the same or slightly

greater than the flat battery (see the

section “Technical Specifications”).

Do the following, (fig. 1):

1) Lift the protective cover on the

positive pole, then connect the posi-

tive terminals (+) of the two batteries

A and B with a jump lead, which is

usually red.

2) With a second lead (usually

black), connect the negative terminal

C (–) of the auxiliary battery to an

earth point 

D on the engine or

gearbox of the car to be started.

IMPORTANT Do not connect the

black lead to the negative pole of the

flat battery; any sparks could set the

gas coming out of the battery on fire.

If the other battery is fitted in a vehi-

cle, prevent accidental contacts be-

tween the metal parts of the two ve-

hicles.

3) Start the engine.

4) When the engine has

started, remove the leads in

the reverse order to before:

D, C, B and finally A.

If the engine fails to start after a few

attempts, do not keep turning the key

but have the car seen to at a LANCIA

Dealership.
