DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque)
This system is built into the advanced ESP control unit
and provides steering corrections via the electric power
steering during driving. The system applies torque to the
steering wheel, increasing the feeling of safety, maintain-
ing control and reducing the impact of advanced ESP sys-
tem intervention.
Fault signalling
In the event of any operating faults occurring, the sys-
tem switches off automatically and the èwarning light is
lit up on the display together with a dedicated message.
In this case contact a Lancia Dealership.
SPORT FUNCTION (where provided)
The vehicle can be equipped with a system that allows you
to choose between two driving modes: normal and sport.
Press the SPORT button fig. 69 to set the sport driving
mode. This is characterised by increased acceleration re-
sponse and increased force required at the steering wheel
to obtain a more sporty drive.

When the function is active, “S” is displayed on the in-
strument panel. Press the button once again to deacti-
vate the function and return to the standard driving mode.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and caused by a system to prevent the mo-
tor from overheating. No servicing is required. The pow-
er steering system will return to normal operation the next
time the car is used.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.
Before servicing the car, switch off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition device to
activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels do not touch the
ground. If this is not possible (if the key must be on
MAR or the engine must be running), remove the
main fuse which protects the electric power steering.
