1If the vehicle is equipped with the TPMS,
when a tyre is removed, it is advisable to re-
place the rubber gasket for the valve. Contact
a Lancia Dealership.
If the vehicle is equipped with the TPMS, tyre
and/or rim fitting/removal operations require
specific precautions. To avoid damaging the
sensors or fitting them incorrectly, tyre and/or rims
fitting/removal operations should be carried out on-
ly by specialists. Contact a Lancia Dealership.
Particularly strong radiofrequency interfer-
ence may cause the TPMS to operate incor-
rectly. This condition is indicated to the dri-
ver by the
nwarning light or symbol lighting up on
the display together with a dedicated message.
The message will disappear automatically as soon
as the interference ceases to disturb the system.

PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets where provided)
The parking s ensors are located in the rear bumper fig. 77
and their function i s to inform the driver, through an in-
termittent acous tic signal, of the pres ence of obstacles be-
hind the car.
A CTIVATION/DEAC TIVATION
The sens ors are automatically activated when revers e gear
i s engaged. A s the obs tacle behind the car gets closer, the
acous tic signal become s more frequent.
fig. 77L0E0059m
A COUS TIC SIGNAL
When revers e gear is engaged and there is an obstacle
behind the car an acou stic signal is activated and the sig-
nal varies as the dis tance of the ob stacle from the bumper
varies .
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
❍ increas es a s the dis tance between the car and the ob-
s tacle decreas es;
❍ becomes continuous when the dis tance between the car
and the ob stacle is less than around 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance increas es;
❍ is cons tant if the dis tance is unchanged.
Detection distances
Centre operating radiu s 140 cm
S ide operating radiu s 60 cm
If several obs tacles ar

e detected by the sensors, only the
neares t one is considered.

FAILURE INDICAT I O NS
Any faults in the parking s ensor system are indicated,
when revers e gear is engaged, by the
èwarning light on
the ins trument panel lighting up and a dedicated me ssage
appearing in the multifunction di splay .
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
S ens or operation i s automaticall y deactivated when the
trailer’ s electric cable plug is fitted in the car’s tow hook
s ocket.
The sens ors are automaticall y reactivated when the trail-
er’ s cable plug is removed.
For correct operation, sensors must always
be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be care-
ful not to scratch or damage the sensors while
cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors must be washed using clean wa-
ter, with the addition of car shampoo 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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
❍ When parking, watch out for ob stacles that may be
above or under the sens ors.
❍ Sometimes , objects placed clos e to the car are not de-
tected and could therefore cau se damage to the car or
be damaged them selves .

The following conditions ma y influence the performance
of the parking a ssistance system:
❍ Reduced sens or sens itivity and a reduction in the park-
ing assi stance system performance could be due to the
pres ence on the s urface of the s ensor of:
ice, snow, mud, thick paint.
❍ The sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle (echo
interference) due to mechanical interference s, for ex-
ample when was hing the vehicle, rain ( strong wind),
hail.
❍ The indications s ent b y the s ensor can als o be altered
b y the pres ence of ultras ound devices (e.g. pneumat-
ic brake systems or pneumatic drill s) near the car.
❍ The performance of the parking assi stance system could
be affected by the position of the s ensors, e.g. by alter-
ing attitude (due to wear of shock abs orbers and sus-
pens ion) or by changing ty res, overloading the car or set-
ting special attitudes that r

equire the car to be lowered.
Parking manoeuvres, however, are always
the driver’s responsibility. While carrying out
these manoeuvres, always make sure that no
people (especially children) or animals are in the
area concerned. Parking sensors are designed to as-
sist drivers: anyway, you must always pay the ut-
most attention during potentially dangerous ma-
noeuvres, even when these are carried out at a low
speed.

The ultimate responsibility when parking,
however, always rests with the driver. Dur-
ing the entire manoeuvre it always necessary
to make sure that there are no people or animals in
the space.
Parking sensors are a driving aid for the dri-
ver, who should continuously pay attention
to all potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
at low speed: the Magic Parking system DOES NOT
adjust the vehicle speed in manoeuvres; the control
of the acceleration speed and braking remain the re-
sponsibility of the driver.
MAGIC PARKING
(for vers ions/markets , where provided)
The Magic Parking system notifies the driver of a free par-
allel parking space that is a suitable length for the vehi-
cle; it helps the driver when manoeuvring b y automati-
cally managing the movement of the steering wheel. During the manoeuvre the driver is
also assi sted by infor-
mation from the parking sens ors (4 front and 4 rear) which
provide further di stance information when approaching
obs tacles in front of and behind the vehicle.
When looking for a parking s pace it is helpful if the front
and rear sens ors are not activated, whils t during the ma-
noeuvre, the front and rear s ensors will be automatically
activated when revers e gear is engaged.

SENS ORS
While searching for a parking place, the system uses s ide
s ens ors (see fig. 78).
Thes e sens ors are automatically activated below around
30 km/h; during thi s s tage if the driver ha s ju st passed a
s pace that might be us eful for a manoeuvre, the function
can be reques ted using the s pecial button; at this point the
ins tructions for carry ing out the manoeuvre will be s hown
on the dis play. If the function is not requested by the dri-
ver us ing the s pecial button, no information will be di s-
play ed on the ins trument panel. OPERATION
The assi
sted parking manoeuvre can onl y be activated with
the ins trument panel on and at speeds below about 30
km/h. It is divided into the following stages :
❍ Activation: pr

essing the button fig. 79 activates the
s earch stage.
❍ Search: through s ide sens ors, the system continuous -
l y s earches for a free parking space, suitable to the vehi-
cle dimens ions. The driver determine s on which s ide of the
road they intend to park us ing the direction indicators
(if no information i s available from the direction indica-
tors or hazard warning lights, the search takes place on
the passenger side).

IMPORTANT The SEARCH stage in the system logic is
deactivated after about 10 min s if a s uitable parking s pace
i s not identified.
❍ Identification: if the system identifies a free parking
s pace that is a suitable size for the vehicle, it s ignals its
pres ence and indicates the actions required for starting the
manoeuvre.
❍ Manoeuvre : the driver is asked to engage rever se gear
and releas e the steering wheel and manage the accelera-
tor, brake and clutch (in ca se of manual gearbox) or ac-
celerator and brake (in ca se of automatic tran smission).
During the rever se parking manoeuvre, the system man-
ages the s teering wheel automaticall y.
It sugges ts that the manoeuvre be concluded in revers e
gear (if the condition s permit) when the continuou s s ound
of the buzzer for the rear s ensors is hear
d.
IMPORTANT The MANOEUVRE stage in the system log-
ic is deactivated after about 3 min s if the parking ma-
noeuvre ha s not been completed. ❍
Manoeuvre end: if the parking s pace is s ufficient, the
parking manoeuvre i s completed by the system in a s in-
gle movement; the further intervention of the driver i s not
required to po sition the vehicle. If further corrective ma-
noeuvres are required, the system gives back control to the
driver who mus t complete parking manuall y.
IMPORTANT Steering will be realigned after rever sing
when revers e gear is disengaged. The driver mus t com-
plete the manoeuvre manuall y.
The operation of the parking assistance is
based on different components:
❍ front and rear parking sensors;
❍ side sensors;
❍ steering;
❍ wheels and braking system;
❍ instrument panel.
It is necessary to bear in mind that a malfunction
in one of these systems could compromise the op-
eration of the Magic Parking system.

DESCRIPTION OF MANOEUVRING STAGES
Activation
The system is activated by pressing the
Sbutton and, a s
s oon as it is activated, the system starts the s earch stage.
The LED in the button coming on indicate s that the sys-
tem is activated. S ince the system recognis es parking
s paces even when it is deactivated, the system can be ac-
tivated straight away after having driven pas t an adjacent
parking space that is deemed suitable. If the system has
effectively identified a parking space, the s earch stage will
not be performed and the system will notify the driver of
the operations required to carr y out the manoeuvre. S
earch for a parkin g space
During the s earch stage fig. 80 the vehicle s hould con-
tinue following it s route at a s peed lower than approxi-
mately 30 km/h and at a dis tance of around 50 cm to
130 cm from parked car s. A parking s pace is consider ed
s uitable if it i s about 130 cm longer than the dimen sions
of the vehicle.
There are two po ssible types of parking:
❍ parking space about 160 cm longer than the dimen-
sions of the car: parking can take place in a single ma-
noeuvre;
❍ parking space about 130 cm longer than the dimen-
sions of the car: parking in more than one manoeuvre,
where only the first one can be carried out b y automatic
s teering management (the s ubsequent manoeuvres are en-
tirely the res ponsibility of the driver).

To select the s earch and manoeuvring s ide, the driver
mus t:
1) D Choos
e to carry out the search for the s pace and
the manoeuvre on the pa ssenger side with:
❍ the direction indicator in the middle po sition;
❍ the hazard warning light s on;
❍ the hazard warning lights on and the direction indi-
cator in the pa ssenger side pos ition;
❍ the direction indicator pointing toward s the passenger
s ide.
2) F Choos
e to carry out the search for the space and the
manoeuvre on the driver side with:
❍ the direction indicator in the driver’ s s ide pos ition;
❍ the hazard warning lights on and the direction indi-
cator in the driver side pos ition;
The system will notify the driver, on the s ide in which the
s earch and the manoeuvre are taking place b y means of ded-
icated messages in the instrument panel dis play and the
symbols (
F and
D) differ

ent on the right and left s ides.
The search will, however, take place on both sides , there-
fore it is possible to make the selection us ing the direc-
tion indicators even when having ju st driven pas t a park-
ing space that is deemed suitable. During the s
earch stage, the s peed must not exceed 30
km/h; when 25 km/h have been reached, the driver i s s ig-
nalled to decreas e the speed; if a s peed of 30 km/h i s ex-
ceeded, the system is deactivated; in thi s cas e, the sys-
tem mus t be restarted by pressing the button
S.
If the Lane crossing function is activated (see “Exterior
lights ” paragraph) the s earch for the parking space always
takes place on the pa ssenger side.
If the parking sens ors are activated during the search for
a parking s pace (see “Front and rear parking sens ors”
paragraph), the operation of the Magic Parking system
i s deactivated.
The search for the parking space and the
parking manoeuvres must be carried out in
compliance with the current regulations of the
Highway Code.
