“Dualdrive” electric power steering
failure (red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go off after a
few seconds.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on,
you will not have steering assistance and the effort required
to operate the steering wheel will be increased; steering is,
however, possible. In this case contact a Lancia Dealership.
The display will show a dedicated message.

“CITY” appears on the display) when the
“Dual drive” electric power steering system is ac-
tivated by pressing the relevant control button. Pressing
the button again causes the “CITY” indication to go off.
CITY
Excessive engine coolant temperature
(red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out after
a few seconds. The warning light turns on when the en-
gine is overheated. If the warning light comes on, pro-
ceed as follows:
❍during normal travel: stop the car, stop the engine and
check that the water level in the reservoir is not un-
der the MIN line.
u
If it is, wait for a few minutes for the engine to cool down,
then slowly and carefully open the cap, top-up with coolant
and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX ref-
erences on the reservoir. Also check for leaks. Should the
warning light turn on again at the next start-up, contact
a Lancia Dealership.
❍If the vehicle is used under harsh conditions (e.g. tow-
ing of trailers uphill or fully loaded vehicle): slow down
and stop the car if the warning light stays on. Stop
for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slight-
ly accelerated to favour better coolant circulation. Then
stop the engine. Check correct liquid level as described
above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Doors not closed correctly (red)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
lights up when one or more doors are not closed
correctly. A buzzer will sound when doors are
open and the car is moving. On the multifunctional dis-
play, the warning light also comes on when the bonnet
and/or tailgate are not closed correctly. The display will
show a dedicated message.

IMPORTANT The engine inhibitor function is guaranteed
by the Lancia CODE, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is extracted from the starter de-
vice.
SWITCHING ON THE ALARM
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with the
remote control towards the vehicle and press and release
button
Á.
Excluding some versions for specific markets, the system
produces an acoustic warning (beep) and enables door
locking.
Before the alarm is enabled, a self-diagnosis test is run:
if a fault is detected, the system emits another sound warn-
ing and a message is shown on the display, (see “Instru-
ment panel warning lights”).
In this case switch off the alarm by pressing
Ë, check that
all the doors, bonnet and tailgate are closed correctly; then
switch the alarm back on by pressing
Á.
If a door or the bonnet is not correctly closed, it will be ex-
cluded from the testing by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the
doors, bonnet and tailgate are correctly closed, a failure
has occurred in system operation. Contact a Lancia Deal-
ership.IMPORTANT Centrally locking the doors using the met-
al insert on the key does not activate the alarm.
IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is configured in com-
pliance with the regulations existing in the different coun-
tries.
SWITCHING OFF THE ALARM
Press button
Ëon the key with the remote control.
The following operations are performed (excluding some
versions for specific markets):
❍the direction indicators flash twice;
❍two brief acoustic signals are emitted (“BEEP”);
❍the doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is re-
leased using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not
disabled.

Anti-pinch safety device
The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch safety device
for the upwards motion of the windows.
This safety system is capable of recognizing the presence
of an obstacle whilst the window is closing; when this hap-
pens, the system stops the travel of the glass and, de-
pending on the position of the window, reverses its move-
ment.
This device is also useful when the windows are activat-
ed accidentally by children on board the vehicle.
The anti-pinch function is active both during manual and
automatic operation of the electric windows. Following
the intervention of the anti-pinch system, the window trav-
el is immediately interrupted and subsequently reversed
until the lower end of travel is reached. During this time
the window cannot be operated in any way.IMPORTANT If the anti-pinch protection intervenes 5
times consecutively within 1 minute or a system failure
is detected, the automatic window closing function is in-
hibited. The window can then only be operated in steps of
half a second and the button must be released following
each step.
One of the following manoeuvres must be carried out in
order to restore correct operation:
❍switch off and restart the engine;
❍fully lower the window concerned.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the
electric windows remain active for about 3 minutes and
are deactivated the moment a door is opened.

ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING THE CITY
FUNCTION fig. 74
Press button A to turn the function on/off.
When the function is active, the CITY warning light on
the instrument panel turns on.
With CITY function on, wheel effort is lighter, facilitat-
ing parking manoeuvres: the function is particularly help-
ful when driving in city centres.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the power steering is indicated by instru-
ment panel warning light gcoming on together with a
message on the reconfigurable multifunctional display. In
the event of electric power steering system failure, the
car can be driven with mechanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors independent
of the electric power steering could cause the illumination
of the gwarning light on the instrument panel.
In this case, stop the car immediately, switch off the en-
gine for about 20 seconds and then restart the engine. If
thegwarning light remains on, together with the mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multifunctional display, con-
tact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
fig. 74L0E0057m
Under no circumstances should after-market
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device). This could nega-
tively affect performance and safety, cause the lapse
of the warranty and also result in vehicle non-com-
pliance with type-approval requirements.
On some versions, with the CITY function ac-
tivated, the SPORT function is not available.
To activate the SPORT function, deactivate the
CITY function and vice versa, because they are re-
ciprocally incompatible.

The ultimate responsibility when parking
and carrying out other dangerous manoeu-
vres still rests with the driver. When parking, 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 always pay
the utmost attention during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even when carried out at low speed.
Version with 8 sensors
On the version with 4 front sensors and 4 rear sensors, the
system is activated when reverse gear is engaged or by
pressing the button fig. 8. If there has been a request to
activate the Magic Parking system, the front and rear sen-
sors are not automatically activated during the search for
a parking space, but can be activated by pressing the spe-
cial button (fig. 82) or by engaging reverse gear when
the speed is below around 15 km/h.
When reverse gear is released, the front and rear sensors
remain activated until a speed of around 15 km/h is ex-
ceeded to allow the parking manoeuvre to be completed.
The system can also be activated by pressing the button
fig. 82 in the centre panel: a warning light in the button
comes on when the system is activated.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing the button again
fig. 82 or when a speed of 15 km/h is exceeded: the warn-ing light in the button remains off when the system is not
activated.
When the sensors are activated, the system starts to pro-
duce acoustic signals from the front or rear buzzers as soon
as an obstacle is detected with the frequency increasing as
the obstacle gets closer.
When the obstacle is less than about 30 cm away, the
sound becomes continuous. Depending on the position of
the obstacle (in front or behind) the sound is produced by
the corresponding buzzers (front or rear). The obstacle
closest to the vehicle is signalled.
The acoustic signal stops immediately if the distance of
the obstacle increases. The sound cycle remains constant
if the distance measured by the centre sensors remains un-
changed, whilst if this situation occurs for the side sen-
sors, the signal is interrupted after about 3 seconds (for
example, to prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres
alongside walls).

168STARTING UP AND DRIVING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, tow-
ing or driving downhill. This could cause a
flow of fuel into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER
IT HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❍drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
speed. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❍do not demand maximum performance for the first few
kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge starts
moving.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow the
engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off by letting
it idle to allow the temperature in the engine compartment
to fall.
A quick burst on the accelerator before turn-
ing off the engine serves absolutely no prac-
tical purpose, it wastes fuel and is damaging
especially to turbocharged engines.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the handbrake.
The car should be braked after a few snaps
of the lever, if it is not, contact a Lancia Deal-
ership to have it adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is engaged and the ignition key
is on MAR, the instrument panel warning light xwill
light.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
❍slightly lift the handbrake and press release button
A-fig. 1;
❍hold button A pressed and lower the lever. The x
warning light on the instrument panel will go out.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the car from moving accidentally.
