Carry out
the manoeuvreThe manoeuvre has started, the dri-
ver can accelerate and release the
clutch (in the case of a manual gear-
box) to enter the parking space; the
Magic Parking system will manage
the steering automatically.
Speed too highThe speed of the vehicle is about to
exceed the maximum speed permitted
by the system (the message will be
displayed at about 25 km/h for the
search stage), if the driver increases
the speed further, the system will au-
tomatically be deactivated.
IMPORTANT Some text messages displayed by the instrument panel are accompanied by acoustic warnings.

KNOWING YOUR CAR141
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. 87. If there has been a request
to activate the Magic Parking function, the front and rear
sensors are not automatically activated during the search
for a parking space, but can be activated by pressing the
special button (fig. 87) 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. 87 in the central panel: a warning light in the but-
ton comes on when the system is activated.The sensors are deactivated by pressing the button again
fig. 87 or when a speed of 15 km/h is exceeded: the
warning light in the button is off when the system is not
active.
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 in-
creasing 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 obsta-
cle 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
unchanged, 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).

The responsibility for parking and other
dangerous manoeuvres always and in every
case lies with the driver. While manoeu-
vring, always make sure that no-one is in the area
concerned (especially children) or animals. The
parking sensors are designed to assist drivers: in
any case, you must always pay the utmost atten-
tion during potentially dangerous manoeuvres,
even when carried out at low speed.

STARTING AND DRIVING175
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between the two front
seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the handbrake, until
the vehicle is braked.
The car should be braked after a few clicks
of the lever; if it is not, contact a Lancia
Dealership to have it adjusted.
When the handbrake is on and the ignition key is at MAR,
the instrument panel warning light xwill come on.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
❍slightly lift the handbrake and press release button
A-fig. 1;
❍keep button A pressed and lower the lever. The warn-
ing light xon the instrument panel will turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the car from moving accidentally. PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❍stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❍engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the car
is facing uphill or reverse if it is facing downhill) and
leave the wheels steered.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is also advisable
to block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the ignition key turned to MAR to prevent
draining the battery. Always remove the key when you
leave the car.
Never leave children in the unattended car. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving the car and take it
out with you.
