When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the car
speed may exceed the memorised one.
The engagement of the device is signalled by the Üwarn-
ing light lighting up in the instrument panel (together with
a message shown on the display) (see “Instrument panel
warning lights” in chapter 1).
MEMORISING VEHICLE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❍turn selector wheel A-fig. 31 to ON and press the ac-
celerator until the vehicle reaches the desired speed;
❍turn selector wheel B to (+) for at least three seconds
and then release it: the car speed will be memorised
and the accelerator pedal may be released.
If required (e.g. for overtaking), press the accelerator ped-
al to accelerate: the car will return to the previously set
speed when the pedal is released.
RESTORING MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged, for example by press-
ing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed can
be reset as follows:
❍accelerate gradually until you reach a speed ap-
proaching the one memorised;
❍engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rising (4th, 5th or 6th gear);
❍press button C-fig. 31.INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be carried out in two ways:
❍by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❍by temporarily turning selector wheel B-fig. 31 to (+).
Each movement of the selector wheel will correspond to
a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the selector wheel turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be carried out in two ways:
❍by disengaging the device and then memorising the
new speed;
or
❍by keeping selector wheel B-fig. 31 turned to (–) un-
til the new speed is reached; it will then be memorised
automatically.
Each movement of the selector wheel will correspond to
a slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while keep-
ing the selector wheel turned will correspond to a contin-
uous reduction in speed.

DISENGAGING THE DEVICE
Turn selector wheel A-fig. 31 to OFF or turn the ignition
key to STOP. In addition, the device is automatically dis-
engaged in any of the following cases:
❍when the brake or clutch pedal is pressed;
❍if the ASR or Advanced ESP system cuts in (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
When travelling with the device engaged, do
not set the gearshift lever to neutral.
In the event of a malfunction or fault, turn se-
lector wheel A-fig. 31 to OFF and contact a
Lancia Dealership after having checked the
condition of the protective fuse.

Failure indications
System failure is indicated by warning light
álighting up
on the instrument panel together with a dedicated mes-
sage appearing on the reconfigurable multifunctional dis-
play; see “Instrument panel warning lights”.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake; therefore, never leave the car without having en-
gaged the handbrake, turned the engine off and engaged
first gear.
If the small spare wheel is used, the Advanced
ESP system is still operational. Be aware,
however, that as the small spare wheel is
smaller than the original wheel, it provides less grip.
In order for the Advanced ESP and ASR systems to
operate correctly, the tyres must be of the same brand
and type on all wheels, in perfect condition and,
above all, be of the specified type, brand and size.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the ESP system and automati-
cally cuts in if one or both drive wheels slip, helping the
driver to control the car:
❍uphill: car at a standstill on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake ped-
al pressed, gearbox to neutral or gear engaged other
than reverse;
❍downhill: car at a standstill on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake ped-
al pressed and reverse gear engaged.
At take-off the Advanced ESP system control unit will
maintain a brake force on the wheels until the torque re-
quired for setting off is reached, or in any case for a max-
imum of 2 seconds so that the right foot can be moved eas-
ily from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
After two seconds without setting off, the system will de-
activate automatically, gradually releasing the brake force.
During the release stage, the typical brake disengagement
noise may be heard, indicating that the car is going to
move.

❍Identification: if the system identifies a free parking
space that is a suitable size for the vehicle, it signals its
presence and indicates the actions required for starting the
manoeuvre.
❍Manoeuvre: the driver is asked to engage reverse gear
and leave the steering wheel and manage the accelerator,
brake and clutch (in the case of manual transmission) or
accelerator and brake (in the case of automatic transmis-
sion). The system manages the steering wheel automat-
ically when reverse gear is engaged in the parking posi-
tion.
It suggests that the manoeuvre be concluded in reverse
gear (if the conditions permit) when the continuous sound
of the buzzer for the rear sensors is heard.
IMPORTANT The MANOEUVRE stage in the system log-
ic is deactivated after about 3 mins if the parking ma-
noeuvre has not been completed.❍Conclusion: If parking space is big enough, the ma-
noeuvre is completed by the system in one stage and the
positioning of the vehicle does not require any further in-
tervention on behalf of the driver. If further corrective
manoeuvres are required, the system returns control to the
driver who must complete the manoeuvre manually.
IMPORTANT Steering will be realigned after reversing
when reverse gear is disengaged. The driver must com-
plete the manoeuvre by hand.
The operation of the parking assistance is
based on different components:
❍front and rear parking sensors;
❍side sensors;
❍electric steering;
❍wheels and braking system;
❍instrument panel.
It is necessary to bear in mind that a malfunction
in one of these systems could compromise the op-
eration of the Magic Parking system.

Identifying a parking space fig. 79
If the system identifies a suitable parking space between
two stationary vehicles or between other obstacles (e.g. ob-
jects with an extensive side surface such as vehicles, box-
es, etc.) it will signal that it has found a parking space that
can be entered. If the position reached is already suitable
at the beginning of the manoeuvre, the system will notify
the driver and engage reverse gear otherwise it will request
moving further forward.On the request to engage reverse gear the driver should sopt
the vehicle and engage reverse in order to confirm the wish
to start the manoeuvre; if the driver continues driving, af-
ter about 10 metres the system will no longer consider the
parking space identified and will start the search for an-
other suitable new space.
Manouevure
The driver will have control over the movements of the ve-
hicle using the accelerator, brake and clutch (only on ver-
sions with manual transmission) whilst the system will au-
tomatically manage the steering to enter the parking space
identified in the best possible way.
During the manoeuvre it will be possible to take advantage
of the information coming from the parking sensors (when
reversing it is advisable to reach the area where the rear
sensors provide a continuous tone signal), but it is always
advisable to keep an eye on the surrounding area.
The vehicle can be stopped during the manoeuvre and,
whilst remaining stationary, reverse gear can temporarily
be released (for example, to allow a pedestrian to go by in
the area of the manoeuvre).
The speed should be less than about 7 km/h during the
manoeuvre, otherwise the parking manoeuvre will be in-
terrupted.

PARKING THE CAR
Proceed as follows:
❍stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❍engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the car
is faced uphill or reverse if it is faced downhill) and
leave the wheels steered.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is further advisable
to block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the ignition key on MAR to prevent drain-
ing the battery. Always remove the key when you leave the
car.
Never leave children unattended in the car. Always remove
the ignition key when leaving the car and take it out with
you.

USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and shift
the gear lever into one of the required positions (the gear
diagram varies according to the different versions and is
shown on the knob or on the plate below the lever fig. 2).
To engage sixth gear, operate the lever by pressing it to-
wards the right in order to avoid engaging fourth gear by
mistake. Use the same action to pass from sixth to fifth
gear.
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be engaged when the car
is at a standstill. With the engine running, wait at least 2
seconds before engaging reverse gear with the clutch
pressed down to the floor in order to avoid damaging or
scraping the gears.

170STARTING UP AND DRIVING
To engage reverse gear R from neutral, raise ring A un-
der the knob and at the same time move the gearshift lever
to the left and then forwards.
For the 1.6 Multijet version: To engage reverse R from neu-
tral, raise ring A under the knob and at the same time
move the gearshift lever to the right and then backwards.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should only be used to
change gear. Do not drive with you foot resting on the
clutch pedal, even lightly. For versions/markets, where
provided, the electronic clutch control could cut in by in-
terpreting the anomalous driving style as a fault.
Press the clutch pedal fully to change gears
correctly. For this reason, there must be no
obstacles on the floor under the pedals: en-
sure that rubber mats (if any) are correctly posi-
tioned, not interfering with the pedals.
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
gear lever, because this pressure, even if light,
over time can wear out the gearbox inner
components.
REDUCING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimize pol-
luting emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (nitric oxide,
unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc…).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Service Plan”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly, at least once every four
weeks: excessively low pressure will increase fuel con-
sumption because rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. Do not travel with
too much luggage stowed in the boot. The weight of the
car (especially when driving in town) and its trim great-
ly affect fuel consumption and stability.
