PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
The parking sensors are located in the rear bumper fig. 74
and their function is to inform the driver, through an in-
termittent buzzer, of the presence of obstacles behind the
car.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse
gear is engaged. As the distance from the obstacle behind
the car decreases, the acoustic alarm becomes more fre-
quent.
fig. 74L0E0059m
BUZZER WARNINGS
When reverse gear is engaged a buzzer warning is acti-
vated if there is an obstacle behind the car. The frequen-
cy of the buzzer varies according to the distance from the
obstacle.
The frequency of the buzzer warning:
increases as the distance between the car and the ob-
stacle decreases;
becomes continuous when the distance between the car
and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops imme-
diately if the distance increases;
remains constant if the distance between the car and
the obstacle remains constant.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR119

Detection distances
Central operating range 140 cm
Side operating range 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the
nearest one is considered.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any faults in the parking sensor system are indicated,
when reverse gear is engaged, by the
èwarning light on
the instrument panel lighting up and a dedicated message
appearing on the multifunctional display.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated automatically
when the trailer electric cable plug is fitted into the car
tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically reactivated when the trail-
er cable plug is disconnected.
The sensor must be clean of mud, dirt, snow
or ice in order for the system to work. Be
careful not to scratch or damage the sensors
while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. Clean the sensors with clean water with the
addition of car shampoo if necessary. In washing
stations, clean the sensors quickly, keeping the
steam jet/high pressure washing nozzles at least 10
cm away from the sensors.
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost attention
to any obstacles that could be located above or below
the sensors.
Under certain circumstances objects located close to
the car are not detected and could therefore cause dam-
age to the car or be damaged themselves.
The following conditions may influence the performance
of the parking sensor system:
reduced sensor sensitivity and reduced parking aid sys-
tem performance could be caused by the presence of
the following on the sensor: ice, snow, mud, multiple
layers of paint

120GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
The sensor detects objects that are not there (“echo dis-
turbance”) caused by mechanical disturbances, for ex-
ample: washing the car, rain (extreme wind condi-
tions), hail.
The indications sent by the sensor can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasound devices (e.g. pneumat-
ic brake systems or pneumatic drills) near the car;
Parking sensor system performance can also be influ-
enced by the position of the sensors, for example due to
a change in the ride setting (caused by wear to the shock
absorbers, suspension), or by overloading the vehicle and
carrying out specific tuning operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered.
The ultimate responsibility when parking
and carrying out other dangerous manoeu-
vres still rests with the driver. When park-
ing, make sure that no-one is standing in the area,
especially children or animals. Parking sensors are
designed to assist drivers: in all cases, you must al-
ways pay the utmost attention during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even when these are carried
out a low speed.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If, after buying the car, you decide to install electrical ac-
cessories that require a permanent electrical supply (alarm,
satellite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories that in any
case burden the electric supply, contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship. Their qualified personnel, besides being able to sug-
gest the most suitable devices from the Lineaccessori Lan-
cia, will also evaluate the overall electric uptake, check-
ing whether the car’s electrical system is able to withstand
the required load, or whether a more powerful battery
needs to be installed.
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the
car, and also in the event of after-market service, must
carry the following label:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiv-
ing devices provided that they are installed according to
rules of good engineering practice in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and at a specialised centre.

124GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for reducing petrol engine emissions are the
following:
three-way catalytic converter;
Lambda sensors;
fuel evaporation control system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with
one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The devices for reducing diesel fuel engine emissions are
the following:
oxidising catalytic converter;
exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.).
diesel particulate filter (DPF) (where provided).
The catalytic converter reaches high temper-
atures during operation. Do not park on
grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flam-
mable material: fire risk.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, inte-
gral with the exhaust system, that physically traps par-
ticulate present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines. The
diesel particular filter has been adopted to almost totally
eliminate particulate in compliance with current / future
regulations. During normal use of the car, the engine man-
agement control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time,
type of route, temperatures reached, etc.) and it will then
calculate the amount of particulate trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning car-
bon particles. The regeneration procedure is controlled au-
tomatically by the engine management control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and car use conditions. Dur-
ing the regeneration procedure, the following situations
may occur: limited increase of idle speed, activation of
electric fan, limited increase of smoke, high temperatures
at the exhaust. These are not faults; they do not impair
car performance or damage the environment. If the ded-
icated warning message is displayed, refer to the section
“Instrument panel warning lights” in this chapter.
