If the failure is signalled when the
engine is started, it means that the
electronic control unit had stored it
previously, before stopping the
engine. Even in this case, go to a
Lancia Dealership to have the
automatic gearbox checked.
When driving with auto-
matic gearbox faulty,
drive carefully consider-
ing the limited car efficiency in
terms of acceleration and speed.
In addition, when driving with
automatic gearbox faulty, the
reverse block might not be oper-
ating: for this reason it is
absolutely necessary to move the
lever to position R while the car
is moving.
SOUND SIGNAL
A buzzer will sound in the follow-
ing conditions:
– for about 15 seconds when the
driver’s door is opened while the
engine is running or not and the gear
lever has a position different from
P
– for about 15 seconds when the
engine is turned off and the gear
lever has a position different from
P
– for about 4 seconds when the
gear lever is shifted to R (reverse)
– with the manual sequential oper-
ation on, when the selected gear is
not accepted by the electronic con-
trol unit (e.g. since it might generate
a runaway speed rate).
BUMP STARTING
Never bump starting the engine (by
pushing, towing, etc.). In an emer-
gency, when the battery is flat, start
the engine with the appropriate
emergency battery according to the
instructions contained in chapter “In
an emergency”.
