DRIVING ADVISOR
(Lane crossing warning )
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Driving Advisor is a warning system that notifies
the driver if he/she crosses the lane because he/she
has been distracted.A video sensor, fitted on the wind-
screen near the interior rear view mirror, detects the lane
demarcation lines and the position of the car in relation
to them.
IMPORTANT If the windscreen needs replacing on cars
fitted with a Driving Advisor system, it is advisable to go
to a Lancia Dealership. If the repair is being carried out
at a specialist window replacement centre, it is still nec-
essary to go to a Lancia Dealership to have the TV cam-
era calibrated. OPERATION
The system is not active when the vehicle is started. It is
only activated when button A-fig. 68 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 con-
ditions and this is signalled to the driver by the LED lo-
cated in the button flashing and the symbol
ein the am-
ber 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 dri-
ving lane. This temporary deactivation will be signalled
to the driver by the LED in the button flashing and by
the
esymbol in the amber coloured panel in the instru-
ment 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. 68 in the dashboard. Confirmation that the system
has been switched off is given by the LED in the button
and the message 1-fig. 69 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. 69 in the instrument panel display after the fol-
lowing situations:
❍the driver does not keep their hands on the steering
wheel (indication 2-fig. 69 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. 69.

KNOWING YOUR CAR111
SYSTEM FAILURE
In the case of a malfunction, the system notifies the dri-
ver of the fault with message 3-fig. 69 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.

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.
fig. 73L0E0056m
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.

120KNOWING YOUR CAR
EBD failure
This is signalled by the >andxwarning lights on the
instrument panel coming on, together with a message on
the reconfigurable multifunction display. In this case, the
rear wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may
swerve when braking sharply. Drive very carefully to the
nearest Lancia Dealership to have the system checked.
If only warning light xon the instrument
panel comes on, with a message in the re-
configurable multifunction display, stop the
car immediately and contact the nearest Lancia
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic fluid from the
braking system will compromise the operation of
the braking system, whether it is of the conven-
tional type or with ABS.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
This is signalled by the >warning light in the instru-
ment panel coming on together with a message in the re-
configurable multifunction display. In this case, the brak-
ing system will still be effective, although without the
extra capacity offered by the ABS system. Drive carefully
to the nearest Lancia Dealership to have the system
checked.

START&STOP SYSTEM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The Start&Stop system automatically stops the engine
each time the vehicle is stationary and starts it again
when the driver wants to move off. In this way, the ve-
hicle efficiency is increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound pollution.
The system is active every time the engine is started.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops with gearbox in
neutral and clutch pedal released.
NOTE The engine can only be stopped automatically
over about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine from being re-
peatedly stopped when driving at walking pace.
SymbolUfig. 74 appears on the display when the engine
stops.
Engine restarting mode
To restart the engine, press the clutch pedal.SYSTEM MANUAL ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
To activate/deactivate the system manually, press the
buttonTfig. 75 on the dashboard control trim.

Start&Stop system activation
A message and a symbol will be displayed when the
Start&Stop system is on. In this condition, the LED
A-fig. 75 on the button Tis off.
Turning the Start&Stop off
Versions with reconfigurable multifunction display: the
Tsymbol will appear on the display when the Start&Stop
system is off.
When the system is deactivated, the LED A-fig. 75 is on.ENGINE STOPPING FAILURE CONDITIONS
When the system is operating, due to comfort, emission
control and safety reasons, the engine does not stop in
some conditions, among which:
❍engine still cold;
❍especially cold outside temperature;
❍battery not sufficiently charged;
❍heated rear window activated;
❍driver’s door not shut;
❍driver’s seat belt not fastened;
❍reverse gear engaged (for example, during parking
manoeuvres);
❍for versions equipped with dual zone automatic cli-
mate control (for versions/markets, where provided),
if an adequate level of thermal comfort has not been
reached or MAX-DEF function activation;
❍during the first period of use, to initialise the system.
In these cases, the display shows a message and – for
those versions/markets where provide – the symbol U
on the instrument panel display flashes.
If the climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Start&Stop system can be deactivated, for
a continuous operation of the climate control system.
