MUST BE READ!

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) no less than 95.

Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.

ENGINE START-UP

Make sure the handbrake is pulled up; put the gear lever into neutral; press the clutch pedal down to the floor

without touching the accelerator; then:

petrol engines: turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.

diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the instrument panel warning lights ¢and m

to go out, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.

PARKING OVER INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL

When functioning normally, the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures. For this reason do not park

the car over inflammable material, grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.: fire hazard.



PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

A system for continuously monitoring emission system components to ensure greater environmental

protection is fitted in your car.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a

Lancia Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car's electric

system can support the required load.

쇵

CODE card

Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. You should always keep the electronic code written on the

CODE card with you in case you need to carry out an emergency start-up procedure.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety

features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS …

… information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its

maintenance. Pay particular attention to the symbols "(personal safety) #(environmental protection) â

(the car’s wellbeing).

TRAVELLING SAFELY AND IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

Safety and respect for the environment are the guidelines that inspired the Lybra’s design from the

drawing board onwards.

This concept has meant that the Lybra has been able to face and pass the strictest safety tests. So

much so that, from this point of view, the car is the best in its class and has probably already incorpo-

rated features that belong to the future.

In addition, ongoing research into new and effective features to help safeguard the environment

makes the Lybra and car to imitate for this reason as well.

All versions are in fact equipped with environmental protection devices that reduce harmful exhaust

fumes in compliance with the limits provided for by current legislation.

What is more, every single component of the Lybra is fully recyclable. At the end of your car’s life-

span any LANCIA dealership would be please to make arrangements for your car to be recycled.

Nature benefits in two ways: there is no pollution for waste disposal and the demand for raw materi-

als is reduced.

Nature benefits in two ways: there is no pollution for waste disposal and the demand for raw mate-

rials is reduced.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

Safeguarding the environment has directed the design and manufacturing of the Lybra right from

the start. The result is the use of materials and the perfection of devices that can reduce or sweep-

ingly reduce harmful influences on the environment.

The Lybra, equipped with environment safeguarding devices which curtail harmful exhaust gas

emissions, is ready to travel well ahead of the most stringent international pollution control stan-

dards.

USE OF ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY MATERIALS

None of the car’s components contain asbestos. Padding and the climate control system do not

contain CFC (chlorofluorocarbides) - the gases considered responsible for the destruction of the

ozone layer. Other substances that might pollute air and water tables, such as the cadmium in the

rust-proof coating of the bolts and the chromates in some paints, have been completely replaced

with substances that do not harm the environment.

DEVICES FOR REDUCING PETROL ENGINE EMISSIONS

Three-way catalytic converter (catalytic exhaust pipe)

Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and unburned hydrocarbons are the main harmful components

in exhaust gasses.

The catalytic converter is a “miniature laboratory” where a very high percentage of these compo-

nents are converted into harmless substances.

This conversion is aided by minute particles of precious metals on the ceramic core enclosed in a

stainless steel container.

Lambda sensor

All petrol versions are fitted with this device. It ensures that air and fuel are constantly mixed in

the correct proportion. This is a fundamental condition for proper engine and catalytic converter

operation.

Fuel evaporation canister

As it is impossible to stop the build up of petrol fumes, also when the engine is not running, the

system traps them in a special container holding active carbon. The fumes are sucked in from here

and burnt while the engine is running.

DEVICES FOR REDUCING DIESEL ENGINE EMISSIONS

Oxidising catalytic converter

This device converts the pollution substances in the exhaust gas (carbon monoxide, unburned

hydrocarbons and particulate) into harmless substances, thus reducing the smokiness and smell

associated with diesel engine exhaust fumes.

The catalytic converter consists of a stainless steel case containing a honeycomb ceramic core in

which there is precious metal which carries out the catalysing action.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (E.G.R. Cooled) system

This system recirculates or reuses part of the exhaust gas in a proportion which varies according to

engine operation conditions.

When necessary, it is used for the control of nitrogen oxide emissions.

THE SIGNS TO HELP YOU DRIVE CORRECTLY

The signs you see on this page are very important. They highlight those parts of the handbook

where, more than elsewhere, you should stop for a minute and read carefully.

As you can see, each sign has a different symbol to make it immediately clear and easy to identify

the subjects in the different areas:

Personal safety.

Important. Total or partial failure to

follow these instructions can place

driver, passengers or others in serious

danger.

Environmental protection.

This shows you the correct procedures

to follow to ensure that the car does

not harm the environment.

Car wellbeing.

Important. Total or partial failure to

follow these instructions will result in

the risk of serious damage to the car

and may invalidate the warranty as

well.

Battery

Corrosive fluid.

SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been at-

tached near or actually on some of the

components of your Lybra. These la-

bels bear symbols that remind you of

the precautions to be taken as regards

that particular component.

A list of the symbols to be found on

your Lybra is given below with the

name of the component to which it re-

lates at the side of it.

These symbols are divided into the

following four categories: danger, pro-

hibition, warning and obligation.

DANGER SYMBOLS

Battery

Explosion.

Fan

May cut in automatically

even when the engine is

turned off.

Expansion tank

Do not remove the cap

when the coolant is hot.

Coil

High voltage.

Belts and pulleys

Moving parts: keep parts

of the body and clothes

away.

Climate control tubing

Do not open. Gas under

high pressure.
