❍parking space longer than 130 cm compared to the
vehicle dimensions:parking in more than one manoeu-
vre, where only the first one can be carried out by auto-
matic steering management (the subsequent manoeuvres
are entirely the responsibility of the driver).
To select the search and manoeuvring side, the driver
must:
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 passen-
ger 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 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 step, speed should not exceed 30 km/h;
when 25 km/h have been reached, the driver is asked to
decrease the speed; if the speed of 30 km/h is exceeded,
the system is disabled; in this case, the system must be
restarted by pressing the button A-fig. 82.
If the Lane crossing function is activated (see “Exterior
lights” paragraph) the search for the parking space al-
ways 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”
paragraph), the operation of the Magic Parking system is
deactivated.
The search for the parking space and the
parking manoeuvres must be made in com-
pliance with the regulations in force of the
Highway Code.

136KNOWING YOUR CAR
If the driver carries out a voluntary or involuntary action
on the steering during the parking manoeuvre (touch-
ing it or preventing its movement), the manoeuvre will
be interrupted.
If the road surface is very uneven or there are obstacles
under the wheels affecting the movement of the vehicle,
preventing it from continuing along the correct trajectory,
the manoeuvre may be interrupted.
Manoeuvre end
If the size of parking space permits, the parking ma-
noeuvre may be performed in one go; when reverse gear
is released the wheels will be realigned and the manoeu-
vre will be considered completed; the system will conse-
quently be deactivated. If the size of the parking space is
smaller, it may take several manoeuvres, the driver will
be advised to complete the parking manoeuvre manually
via a dedicated messages in the instrument panel display.General warnings
❍The ultimate responsibility when parking, however,
always rests with the driver. During these manoeuvres,
always make sure that no people, animals or objects are
within the manoeuvring area. The Magic Parking sys-
tem (like parking sensors) is designed to assist drivers: in
all cases, you must always pay the utmost attention dur-
ing potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even when these
are carried out a low speed:
❍If the sensors undergo shocks influencing their posi-
tion, the system operation could be strongly degraded.
❍If the sensors are dirty, covered by snow, ice or mud
or are repainted compared to the original conditions, the
system operation could be strongly degraded.
❍It is extremely important, for the correct operation of
the system, that the sensors are always kept clean. Dur-
ing cleaning make sure not to scratch or damage them;
avoid using dry or rough cloths. The sensors should be
washed using clean water with the addition of car sham-
poo if necessary. When using special washing equipment
such as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean the
sensors very quickly keeping the jet more than 10 cm
away.
If you wish to stop the steering wheel with
your hands during a manoeuvre, it is
advisable to handle it firmly on the outer
rim. Do not try and keep your hands on the inside
or hold the spokes.

wheelThe driver voluntarily or involun-
tarily grasped the steering wheel.
The system is disabled and the ma-
noeuvre is controlled by the driver
again.
Magic Parking
OFFThe Magic Parking system is deac-
tivated for one of the following con-
ditions: manoeuvre concluded, speed
limits exceeded, presence of a trailer,
search stage too long, manoeuvre
stage too long, use of parking sensors
requested during the search stage,
incorrect vehicle trajectory as a re-
sult of obstacles at the wheels.
End Manually❍The stage managed by the Magic
Parking is over, but the parking
manoeuvre still needs to be com-
pleted by the driver.
❍The steering wheel has been
grasped during the manoeuvre.
❍The reverse has been disengaged
during the manoeuvre and the ve-
hicles has moved off.
❍Due to obstacles to the wheel
movement, the path followed by
the vehicle is different from the one
required for the parking.
Presence
of a TrailerThe activation of the Magic Parking
system was requested, but there is a
trailer present (the trailer plug is cor-
rectly inserted).
Magic Parking
offThe Magic Parking system has been
switched off following a request to ac-
tivate the parking sensors during the
search stage with the vehicle speed
below 15 km/h.
IMPORTANT Some text messages displayed by the instrument panel are accompanied by acoustic warnings.

KNOWING YOUR CAR143
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’s electric plug is inserted in the car’s tow
hook socket. The sensors are automatically enabled again
when the trailer’s 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 Dealer-
ship 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 while reverse is engaged.
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost attention to
any obstacles that could be located above or below the
sensors.
Under certain circumstances close objects located in front
of or behind the vehicle may not be detected and could
therefore cause damage to the vehicle or be damaged
themselves.The following conditions may influence the performance
of the parking sensor system:
❍Reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the
parking assistance system performance could be due to
the presence on the surface of the sensors of: ice, snow,
mud, thick paint.
❍The sensors detect a non-existent obstacle (echo in-
terference) due to mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle, rain (strong wind), hail.
❍The indications sent by the sensors can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic 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
example, 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 to the upper part of the ve-
hicle is not guaranteed as the system is designed to detect
obstacles that could impact the lower part of the vehicle.

GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the car seat belts di-
rectly fig. 4.
The child seat is needed only to position the child cor-
rectly with respect to the belts so that the diagonal sec-
tion crosses the child’s chest and never the neck, and the
lower part is snug on the pelvis not the abdomen.
GROUP 3
For children from 22 kg up to 36 kg suitable risers make
fastening the seat belt easier.
Figure 4 shows correct 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 air bag is deactivated always check
that the warning light “is lit on the instrument panel
to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system which the manufacturer must
provide. Keep the instructions in the car along with
the other documents and this handbook. Do not use
second-hand child seats without instructions.
4) Always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling
the strap.
5) Only one child is to be strapped into each retaining
system; never carry two children using one child seat.
6) Always check that the seat belts do not rest on the
child’s neck.
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 restrain 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 only examples for fitting
purposes. 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.

KNEE BAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 9
(for versions/markets where provided)
It consists of an instantly cushion housed into a special
compartment provided for the purpose under the lower
post guard at driver’s knee level, designed to give fur-
ther protection in the event of frontal impact.MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER FRONT
AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat, the passenger front and side airbags can be de-
activated.
The instrument panel warning light
“will stay on con-
stantly until the passenger front air bag and the Side Bag
are reactivated.
IMPORTANT To deactivate the passenger’s front air bag
and the Side Bag (for versions/markets where provided),
refer to paragraphs “Multifunction display” and “Recon-
figurable multifunction display” in chapter “1”.
SERIOUS DANGER: never place cradle
child seats facing backwards on the front
passenger’s seat of cars with active passen-
ger’s air bag. Deployment of the airbag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Always deactivate the passenger air bag
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 dashboard.
Even when this is not mandatory by law, the air
bag should be immediately reactivated when chil-
dren are no longer carried to ensure better protec-
tion for the adults.

184IN AN EMERGENCY
ENGINE STARTING
Go to a Lancia Dealership immediately if instrument
panel warning light
Yremains on constantly.
JUMP STARTING fig. 1
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an
auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one.
fig. 1L0E0074m
Strictly avoid using a rapid battery charger
for jump starting: this could damage the
electronic systems and the engine fuel sup-
ply and ignition control units.
This starting procedure must be carried out
by expert personnel as incorrect manoeu-
vres can cause electrical discharges of con-
siderable intensity. Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact with your
skin and eyes. Keep naked flames away from the
battery. No smoking. Do not cause sparks.
