Degraded engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light
comes on, and never more than 500 km af-
ter it first comes on. Failure to observe the above
may result in severe damage to the engine and in-
validate the warranty. Please note also that the
switching on of this warning light does not depend
on the oil quantity in the engine; when the warn-
ing light flashes, never add oil.

“Dualdrive” electric power steering
failure (red)
This warning light switches on when the igni-
tion key is turned to MAR, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on,
you will not have steering assistance and the effort re-
quired to operate the steering wheel will be increased;
steering is, however, possible. In this case, go to a Lancia
Dealership. The display will show a dedicated message.
g
“Dualdrive” electric steering engagement
The warning light switches on (or the word
“CITY” appears on the display) when the
“Dual drive” electric power steering system is
activated by pressing the relevant control button. Press
the button again to turn the “CITY” wording off.
CITY
2. Degraded engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will turn on flashing together with the
message on the display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided). Depending on the versions, the warning light
flashing modes are as follows:
– one minute every two hours;
– for three minute cycles with the warning light off for
intervals of five seconds until oil is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start up the
warning light will continue flashing as above described
until the oil is changed. For those versions/markets where
provided, the display shows a dedicated message together
with the warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be consid-
ered as fault, it simply informs the customer that the oil
needs to be changed following normal car use.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is ac-
celerated by:
– mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF re-
generation process more frequent
– use of the car for short journeys, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process, sig-
nalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

LANE CHANGE FUNCTION
If you wish to signal a lane change, place the left lever
in the unstable position for less than half a second. The
direction indicator on the side selected will flash five
times and then switch off automatically.
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This allows the space surrounding the car to be lit up for
a certain period of time.
Activation
With the ignition key in the STOP position or extracted,
pull the stalk towards the steering wheel and move it
within 2 minutes of the engine switching off. At each sin-
gle movement of the stalk, the lights will remain on for
an extra 30 seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automatically. Each time
the lever is operated, the warning light 3 on the instru-
ment panel comes on and the display shows how long the
function will remain active. The warning light comes on
when the stalk is pulled for the first time and stays lit un-
til the function switches itself off automatically. Each time
the stalk is activated the time will extend the time that
the lights remain on.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steering wheel for more
than 2 seconds.WINDOW WASHING
The right-hand lever fig. 29 controls windscreen wiper/
washer and heated rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WIPER/WASHER fig. 29
This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.
The right hand lever can take up five different positions:
A: windscreen wiper off.
B: intermittent operation.
With the lever in position B, turn control F to select one
of four different speeds for the intermittent operation
mode:
,= very slow intermittent operation
■= slow intermittent operation.
■■= normal intermittent operation
■■■= fast intermittent operation.
C: continuous slow operation;
D: continuous fast operation;
E: temporary fast operation (unstable position).

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.

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.

114KNOWING YOUR CAR
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulation)
It is an integral part to the ESP system and automatically
intervenes in the event of slip of one or both drive wheels,
helping the driver to control the car. The action of the
ASR system is particularly helpful in the following cir-
cumstances:
❍slipping of the inner wheel when cornering due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or excessive accelera-
tion;
❍too much power transmitted to the wheels. also in re-
lation to road surface conditions;
❍acceleration on slippery, snowy or frozen road sur-
faces;
❍in the event of loss of grip on a wet surface (aqua-
planing).
MSR system (engine drive regulation)
The MSR system is an integral part of the ASR, that in-
tervenes, if there is a sudden change to a lower gear,
restoring torque to the engine, thereby preventing exces-
sive drive at the drive wheels which, especially in poor grip
conditions, could lead to a loss in stability of the vehicle.Switching the ASR system on/off fig. 73
The ASR system switches on automatically each time the
engine is started. Whilst driving, the ASR can be switched
off and subsequently switched on again by pressing the
ASR OFF button.
When the system is active, a message on the reconfig-
urable multifunction display is displayed.
When the system is deactivated, the LED on the ASR
OFF button turns on and a message appears in the re-
configurable multifunction display. When the ASR is
switched off whilst driving, the next time the car is started
up the ASR is automatically switched on by the system.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may
be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions,
the driving wheels skidding when moving off gives you
better traction.

KNOWING YOUR CAR137
❍Ultrasound source (e.g. pneumatic brakes of trucks or
air drills) nearby could negatively influence the sensor
performance.
❍Sensors may detect a non-existent obstacle (echo in-
terference) due to mechanical interference, for example
while washing the car, rain, strong wind, hail.
❍The sensors might not detect objects of a particular
shape or made from particular materials (very thin poles,
trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes, parking deterrents,
rubbish bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
to check that the vehicle and its path are effectively com-
patible with the parking area identified by the system.
❍The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a different
size to those present when the vehicle was purchased
could affect the operation of the system.
❍If the battery is disconnected or very run down, be-
fore the Magic Parking system is available it is necessary
to drive a few hundred metres, not in a straight line, to
initialise the system.
❍If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly inserted)
the Magic Parking system will automatically be disabled.
❍If the Magic Parking system is in “search in progress”
mode, the system could incorrectly identify a parking
space and carry out the manoeuvre (e.g. by a junction,
carriage track, roads crossing the direction of travel, etc.).❍In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a gra-
dient, the performance of the system could be inferior and
it may deactivate.
❍If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out between
two vehicles parked on the pavement, the Magic Park-
ing system may cause the vehicle to mount the pavement.
❍Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not be car-
ried out.
❍Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if there are
persons and/or animals in the parking area, moving ve-
hicles, etc.) and intervene immediately if necessary.
❍During parking manoeuvres, pay special attention to
vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Always
follow the Highway Code.

180STARTING AND DRIVING
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used with a maxi-
mum speed index below the one that can be reached by
the car (increased by 5%), place a notice in the passen-
ger compartment, plainly in view, which states the max-
imum permissible speed of the snow tyres (as per an EC
Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to en-
sure greater safety when driving and braking and better
driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to change the rotation
direction of tyres.
The max. speed of snow tyres with “Q”
marking is 160 km/h. The Highway Code
speed limits must however be always com-
plied with.
SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres pro-
vided with the car.
A Lancia Dealership will be happy to provide advice con-
cerning the most suitable type of tyre for your require-
ments.
For the type of snow tyre to fit, the inflation pressures and
specifications, follow the instructions in the “Wheels”
paragraph in chapter “6” very carefully. The winter fea-
tures of these tyres are reduced considerably when the
tread depth is below 4 mm. Replace them in this case.
Due to snow tyre features, under normal conditions of use
or on long motorway journeys, the performance of these
tyres is much lower than that of standard tyres. Their us-
age should therefore be restricted in accordance with to
their type approval.

REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car may be originally fitted with a space-saver wheel
(for versions/markets, where provided).
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel call for some precautions as listed below.
The space-saver wheel (for versions/mar kets
where provided) is specific to your car, do not
use it on other models, or use the spare wheel
of other models on your car. The space-saver wheel
must only be used in case of emergency. Never use
it for more than strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h. On the space-saver wheel there is an or-
ange label, summarising the main warnings re-
garding space-saver wheel usage restrictions.
Never remove or cover the label. Never ap-
ply a hub cup on a space-saver wheel. The
following information is provided in four
languages on the label: IMPORTANT! FOR TEM-
PORARY USE ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX.! REPLACE
WITH STANDARD WHEEL AS SOON AS POS-
SIBLE. DO NOT COVER THIS LABEL.
If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead
of steel rims) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized
bolts.
Alert other drivers that the car is stationary
in compliance with local regulations: haz-
ard warning lights, warning triangle, etc.
Any passengers on board should leave the car, es-
pecially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should
stay away from on-coming traffic while the wheel
is being changed. If parked on a slope or rough sur-
face, chock the wheels with wedges or other suit-
able devices.

194IN AN EMERGENCY
The driving characteristics of the car may
change when a space-saver wheel is fitted.
Avoid sudden acceleration and braking, sud-
den steering and fast cornering. The total life of
a space-saver wheel is approximately 3000 km,
after which it must be replaced by another wheel of
the same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional
tyre on a rim designed for use as a space-saver
wheel. Have the punctured wheel repaired and re-
placed as soon as possible. Two or more space-
saver wheels should never be used together. Do not
apply grease to the bolt threads before assembly:
they might spontaneously unscrew.The jack can only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provided or
on cars of the same model Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting other car models.
In no case should it be used for repairs under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the
jacked car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than those shown on the label. Snow chains
cannot be fitted to the space-saver wheel. So, if
a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are
needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of
the car and the space-saver wheel should be fitted
to the rear. This way, with two normal front driving
wheels, you can install the snow chains on them,
thus resolving the emergency.
If the hub cap is not installed properly, it
may detach when the vehicle is running.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre.
Regularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pres-
sure, complying with the data in the chapter “6”.
Tool box (versions with Bose HI-FI)
There is a tool box located in the luggage compartment
for versions with Bose HI-FI.
This box contains:
❍screwdriver;
❍tow hook;
❍wheel bolt spanner;
❍wheel bolt access spanner;
❍alloy wheel centring device;
❍jack.
