❍a parking space more than about 130 cm longer than
the dimensions of the vehicle:parking can take place in
several manoeuvres of which only the first takes place with
automatic management of the steering (the subsequent ma-
noeuvres are entirely the responsibility of the driver).
To chose the side on which to search and carry out the ma-
noeuvre, the driver can;
1)
DChoose to carry out the search for the space and
the manoeuvre on the passenger side with:
❍the direction indicator in the middle position;
❍the hazard warning lights on;
❍the hazard warning lights on and the direction indi-
cator in the passenger side position;
❍the direction indicator pointing towards the passenger
side.
2)
FChoose to carry out the search for the space and
the manoeuvre on the driver’s side with:
❍the direction indicator in the driver’s side position;
❍the hazard warning lights on and the direction indi-
cator in the driver’s side position.
The system will notify the driver, on the side in which
the search and the manoeuvre are taking place by means
of dedicated messages in the instrument panel display and
the symbol (
Fand
D) different on the right and left sides. The search will, however, take place on both sides, there-
fore it is possible to make the selection using the direc-
tion indicators even when having just driven past a park-
ing space that is deemed suitable.
During the search stage the speed should be less than
around 30 km/h; if a speed of about 25 km/h is reached
the driver will be advised to decrease the speed, if a speed
of about 30 km/h is exceeded, the system will be deacti-
vated; in this case the system should be reactivated by
pressing button A-fig. 77.
If the Lane Change function is activated (see chapter 1
in the Exterior lights) the search for the parking space
always takes place on the passenger side.
If the parking sensors are activated during the search for
a parking space (see “Front and rear parking sensors”
chapter), the operation of the Magic Parking system is de-
activated.
The manoeuvres of searching for a parking
space and carrying out the parking manoeu-
vre should be carried out following the High-
way Code.

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).

136GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
If the obstacle is located at the side, it is detected at dis-
tances of less than 0.6 m.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is automatically deactivated
when the trailer electric plug is inserted in the car tow hook
socket. The sensors are automatically enabled again when
the trailer cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook fitted when
there is no trailer, it is advisable to go to a Lancia Deal-
ership to have the system updated because the tow hook
could be detected as an obstacle by the centre sensors.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Either symbol
S(if the Magic Parking system is fitted),
or symbol
t(if the Magic Parking is not fitted) will light
up on the display in combination with a message or with
instrument panel warning light
èif parking sensor faults
are detected.
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost attention to
any obstacles that could be located above or below the sen-
sors.
Under certain circumstances objects located in front of
or behind the vehicle may not be detected and could there-
fore cause damage to the vehicle or be damaged them-
selves.The following conditions may influence the performance
of the parking sensor system:
❍Reduced sensor sensitivity and reduced parking aid
system performance could be caused by the presence of
the following on the surface of the sensors: ice, snow, mud,
multiple layers of paint.
❍The sensors detect objects that are not there (“echo dis-
turbance”) caused by mechanical disturbances, for ex-
ample: washing the car, rain (extreme wind conditions),
hail.
❍The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered by
the presence of ultrasound devices (e.g. pneumatic brake
systems or pneumatic drills) near the car.
❍The performance of the parking assistance system may
also be affected by the position of the sensors. For ex-
ample, if the geometry is altered (as a result of wear of the
shock absorbers, suspension) or the tyres are changed, the
vehicle is too heavily laden, specific tuning is carried out
that lowers the vehicle.
❍The detection of obstacles at the top part of the vehi-
cle may not be guaranteed because the system detects ob-
stacles that could cause an impact with the vehicle in the
bottom part.

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) (for versions/markets,
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)
(for versions/markets, 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.

The rear seat belts must be used as shown in the diagram
in fig. 2.
IMPORTANT After putting the seats back in their travel
position, restore the seat belt position to make them ready
for use.
IMPORTANT If the rear seat is being moved and this caus-
es the middle seat belt to lock temporarily, normal con-
ditions can be restored by simply moving the seat towards
the back of the car.
fig. 2L0E0062m
S.B.R. SYSTEM
The car is provided with the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder)
system, which warns the driver and the front passenger
if the seat belt is not buckled, as follows:
❍warning light
tinuously for the first 6 seconds;
❍warning light
mittently for the next 96 seconds.
To deactivate the system permanently, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
The S.B.R. system be reactivated using the set-up menu.

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of a crash, all pas-
sengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint
systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries ac-
cording to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
A child’s head is larger and heavier in proportion to his/her
body and the child’s muscular and bone structures are not
fully developed.
For this reason, they require restraint systems which are
different from those used by adults to protect them in the
event of an accident.
The result of research in relation to the best protection for
children is illustrated in European Regulation ECE-R44,
which divides the restraint systems into five groups in ad-
dition to making their use compulsory:
Group 0 - up to 10 kg in weight
Group 0+ - up to 13 kg in weight
Group 1 9 - 18 kg in weight
Group 2 15 - 25 kg in weight
Group 3 22 - 36 kg in weight
SEVERE DANGER: Do not arrange child
seats facing backwards on the front seat if the
passenger’s airbag is enabled. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the baby. It is advisable to carry
children on the rear seat, which is the most protected
position in the event of an accident. Child seats must
not be fitted on the front seat of cars fitted with a
passenger air bag, whose deployment in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby regardless of
the seriousness of the impact. If necessary, children
can travel in the front seat, if the passenger’s airbag
can be disabled. In this case be sure to verify that
the airbag is actually deactivated, observing the
“
warning light on the dashboard (see “Front airbag
- passenger side” in paragraph “Front airbags”).
Move the passenger’s seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the child seat and the dash-
board.

152SAFETY
GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the car seat belts di-
rectly fig. 4.
The child seat is only needed to position the child correctly
with respect to the belts so that the diagonal section cross-
es the child’s chest and never the neck and is snug on the
hips not the abdomen.
GROUP 3
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg, there are boost-
ers allowing the seatbelt to fit correctly.Figure 4 shows proper child seat positioning on the rear
seat. Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts
like adults. Below is a summary of the safety rules to be
followed when carrying children.
1) The recommended position for installing child seats
is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected area in
the event of a crash.
2) If the passenger’s air bag is deactivated always check
the amber warning light “is lit on the instrument pan-
el to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child
restraint system which are mandatory by law. Keep the
instructions in the car along with the other papers and
this handbook. Do not use child seats without in-
structions.
4) Always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling
the webbing.
5) Only one child is to be strapped to each retaining sys-
tem; never carry two children using one child seat.
6) Always check the seat belts do not rest on the child’s
throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or
release the belts.
8) Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-
one, however strong, can hold a child in the event of
an accident.
9) In the event of an accident, replace the child’s seat with
a new one.
The figures are indicative for assembly pur-
poses only. To install the child restraint, re-
fer to the instructions supplied with the same.
Child seats with Isofix attachments are available
for a safe anchoring to the seat without using the car
seat belts.

DRIVER’S KNEE AIR BAG fig, 9
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This consists of an instant-inflating cushion housed into
a special compartment provided for the purpose under the
lower steering column guard at driver’s knee level. It is de-
signed to give further protection in the event of frontal
crash.MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER’S
FRONT AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat, the passenger’s front air bag and the Side Bag
can be deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
“will stay on glow-
ing steadily until the passenger’s front air bag and the Side
Bag is reactivated.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the passenger’s front
air bag and the Side Bag (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided), refer to paragraphs “Multifunctional display” and
“Reconfigurable multifunctional display” in section “Get-
ting to know your car”.
SEVERE DANGER: Do not arrange child
seats facing backwards if the passenger’s
front airbag is on. Deployment of the airbag
in an accident could cause fatal injuries to
the baby. Always deactivate the passenger’s
airbag when placing a child seat on the front seat.
Move the passenger’s seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the child seat and the dash-
board. Although this is not mandatory by law, the
airbag should be immediately reactivated when
children are no longer carried to ensure better pro-
tection to adults.

GENERAL WARNINGS
If when turning the key to MAR the warning
light¬does not turn on or stays on during
car travel (together with the message on the
multifunctional display, where provided), a fail-
ure may have occurred in the restraint systems. In
this case the airbags or pretensioners may not be
deployed after an impact or, in a minor number of
cases, they may be deployed accidentally. Contact
a Lancia Dealership immediately to have the sys-
tem checked before driving off.
Do not cover the front seat backrest with covers if
a Side-bag is fitted.
Do not travel with objects in your lap, in front
of your chest, or between your lips (pipes,
pencils, etc.). In the event of crash with airbag
activation, you may be seriously injured.
Always drive keeping your hands on the
steering wheel crown so that, in the event of
airbag activation, it can inflate without find-
ing obstacles. Do not drive with your body bent for-
ward. Keep the backrest an upright position, cor-
rectly resting your back on it.
If someone tried to steal or damage your car,
and in the event of floods, have the air bag
system checked by a Lancia Dealership.
