KNOWING YOUR CAR69
When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the
vehicle speed may slightly exceed the preset one.
The engagement of the device is signalled by the Üwarn-
ing light coming on in the instrument panel (together
with a message shown on the display) (see “Instrument
panel warning lights” paragraph in this chapter).
STORING THE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❍turn the ring nut A-fig. 31 to ON and press the ac-
celerator until the vehicle reaches the desired speed;
❍turn the ring nut to (+) for at least three seconds, then
release it. The vehicle speed is now memorised and
you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accel-
erate simply by pressing the accelerator pedal; when you
come off the pedal, the car will return to the speed mem-
orised previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by de-
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed
can be restored as follows:
❍accelerate gradually until reaching a speed ap-
proaching the memorised speed;
❍engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rising (fourth, fifth or sixth gear);
❍press button C-fig. 31.INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❍by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❍by temporarily turning ring nut 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 done in two ways:
❍by disengaging the device and then memorising the
new speed;
or
❍by keeping ring nut B-fig. 31 turned to (–) until the
new speed is reached; it will then be memorised au-
tomatically.
Each movement of the ring nut will corresponds to
a slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while keep-
ing the ring nut turned will correspond to a continuous
reduction in speed.

DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque)
This system is incorporated with the ESP control unit
and suggests steering corrections whilst driving via the
electric power steering. The system applies a torque to
the steering wheel which increases the safety perception
of the vehicle, maintaining control of the steering and
making the intervention of the Advanced ESP system
less intrusive.
Fault signalling
In the event of any operating fault, the system switches
off automatically and the èwarning light is lit up on the
display together with a dedicated message. In this case,
go to a Lancia Dealership
SPORT FUNCTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
The vehicle may be equipped with a system that allows
a choice between two styles of driving, normal and sports.
Pressing the SPORT button fig. 69 produces sporty dri-
ving featuring higher acceleration response and more ef-
fort required on the steering wheel to produce this effect.
When the function is active, “S” is lit up in the instru-
ment panel. Press the button again to turn the function
off and restore the normal driving setting.

OPERATION
The system is not active when the vehicle is started. It is
only activated when button A-fig. 71 in the dashboard
is pressed. The LED in the button lights up to confirm
that the system has been switched on plus a dedicated
warning message in the instrument panel display. Once
it is turned on the system will recognise the operating
conditions and this is signalled to the driver by the LED
located in the button flashing and the symbol
ein the
amber coloured panel in the instrument panel display
flashing too. Once the system has recognised the operat-
ing conditions, it becomes active. Therefore: the
eicon
in the display switches off and the LED on the button
remains on constantly.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions are no longer
present then the system will deactivate. This is signalled
to the driver by the LED on the button flashing and the
amber
eicon on the display flashing.
OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system becomes active only if the
following conditions are present:
❍always keep at least one hand on the steering wheel;
❍vehicle speed between 65 km/h and 180 km/h;
❍presence of lane demarcation lines not deteriorated
and visible on both sides;
❍suitable visibility conditions;
❍straight line or wide radius bends;
❍visual field condition sufficient (safe distance from ve-
hicle in front). ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING THE SYSTEM
With the system on, if the vehicle approaches one of the
lines defining the side of the lane, a torque is applied to
the steering wheel to let the driver know which direction
to steer in order to stay within the lane. If the driver turns
on the direction indicator in order to change lanes or for
overtaking, then the system will switch off momentarily.
If the driver wishes to change lanes without turning the
direction indicator on, then there will be a warning from
the steering wheel that they are about to cross the line.
If the driver continues with the manoeuvre to change
lanes, the system will be temporarily deactivated and
then switch back on again once it has recognised the new
driving lane. This temporary deactivation will be sig-
nalled to the driver by the LED in the button flashing and
by the
esymbol in the amber coloured panel in the in-
strument panel display also flashing.
IMPORTANT The force applied to the steering wheel by
the system is sufficient for the driver to notice it but they
can easily override it and maintain control of the vehicle.

DEACTIVATING THE SYSTEM
Manual mode
The system can be deactivated by pressing button A-fig.
71 in the dashboard. Confirmation that the system has
been switched off is given by the LED in the button
and the message 1-fig.72 in the instrument panel display
going out.
Automatic mode
The system can be switched off in automatic mode (there-
fore it must be activated again to use it). The driver is ad-
vised that the system has been turned off automatically
by three consecutive acoustic signals and the message
1 – fig. 72 in the instrument panel display after the fol-
lowing situations:
❍the driver does not keep their hands on the steering
wheel (indication 2-fig. 72 is shown on the instrument
panel and a buzzer sounds until the driver places their
hands back on the wheel. This is considered a dan-
gerous condition and the system is automatically de-
activated);
❍intervention of the vehicle safety systems (ABS, ESP,
ASR, DST and TTC);
❍the driver activates the sports driving setting pressing
the SPORT button (for versions/markets where pro-
vided).
IMPORTANT The system cannot be activated if the dri-
ver has previously selected the sports driving mode. The
impossibility of using the system will be communicated
to the driver by three consecutive beeps and by the dis-
played message 1 in fig. 72.SYSTEM FAILURE
In the case of a malfunction, the system notifies the dri-
ver of the fault with message 3-fig. 72 in the instrument
panel display plus a buzzer.
IMPORTANT NOTES
The driving advisor is not capable of operation follow-
ing a malfunction of the following safety systems – ABS,
ESP, ASR, DST and TTC.
When the lane demarcation lines are not suf-
ficiently visible, covered or non-existent, the
driving advisor cannot help the driver and
the system will not be activated.
The driving advisor is not an automatic dri-
ving system and does not replace the driver
in controlling the trajectory of the vehicle.
The driver is personally responsible for maintain-
ing a suitable level of attention to the traffic and
road conditions and for controlling the trajectory
of the vehicle safely.
The operation of the driving advisor can be adversely af-
fected by poor visibility conditions (fog, rain, snow), ex-
treme light conditions (glare of the sun, darkness), lack
of cleanliness or damage, even partial, to the windscreen
in the area behind the TV camera.
The area of the windscreen by the TV camera must not
be partly or totally obscured by objects (e.g. stickers, pro-
tective film, etc.).

ADVANCED ESP SYSTEM
(ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM)
This is an electronic car stability control system in the
event of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain directional
control.
The Advanced ESP system is therefore particularly use-
ful when road surface grip conditions change.
With the Advanced ESP system as well as the ASR (trac-
tion control with intervention on the brakes and the en-
gine) plus the HILL HOLDER (device for hill starts with-
out using the brakes) and also MSR (adjustment of engine
braking force with gear downshift), HBA (automatic in-
crease in braking pressure during emergency braking),
ABS (preventing the wheels from locking and slipping on
all road surfaces during sharp braking and DST (appli-
cation of force on the steering wheel for steering correc-
tion) functions are all available. SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light á
on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car
is in critical stability and grip conditions.
Switching the system on
The Advanced ESP system comes on automatically when
the vehicle is started and cannot be turned off.
Failure indications
In the event of a failure, the Advanced ESP system will
be automatically switched off and warning light áwill
appear constantly in the instrument panel along with
a message on the reconfigurable multifunction display.
The LED on the ASR OFF button will also light up (see
“Instrument panel warning lights” chapter). In this case,
go to a Lancia Dealership.
The performance of the Advanced ESP sys-
tem should not encourage the driver to take
unnecessary risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions, visibility
and traffic. The driver is ultimately responsible for
road safety.

122KNOWING YOUR CAR
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) car-
ries out a continuous diagnosis of the components of the
car related to emissions. It also alerts the driver, by turn-
ing on the
Uwarning light in the instrument panel to-
gether with a message in the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display, when these components are no longer in
peak condition (see “Instrument panel warning lights”
chapter).
The goal of the system is to:
❍to keep system efficiency under control;
❍to signal a fault which causes emission levels to in-
crease;
❍to signal the need to replace deteriorated components.
The system also has a diagnosis connector that can be in-
terfaced to suitable instruments, to read the error codes
stored in the control unit together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by traffic control au-
thorities.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the problem, to check the
system completely, Lancia Dealerships run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long
journey.
Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible if warning light
Ueither does not light
up when the key is turned to MAR–ON or if,
while travelling, the warning light comes on either
steadily or flashing (along with a message in the
reconfigurable multifunction display). The oper-
ation of the warning light
Umay be checked by the
traffic control authorities using specific devices.
Always comply with the traffic regulations in force
in the country where you are driving.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
THIS is an electrically controlled power steering system
called “Dualdrive”. It is only operational with the igni-
tion key turned to MAR–ON and the engine running; it
can be customised by the driver according to the driving
conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key quickly,
complete power steering functionality may be achieved
after 1-2 seconds.
