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".
BUMP STARTING
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.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while
the engine is idling.
A quick burst on the ac-
celerator before turning
off the engine serves ab-
solutely no practical purpose and
wastes fuel.
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.
