OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system becomes active only if the
following condition s are met:
❍ always keep at lea st one hand on the steering wheel;
❍ vehicle speed between 65 km/h and 180 km/h;
❍ pres ence of lane demarcation line s not deteriorated and
vis ible on both sides ;
❍ suitable vis ibility conditions ;
❍ straight line or wide radiu s bends ;
❍ visual field condition s ufficient (safe distance from ve-
hicle in front).
OPERATION
The
system is not on when the vehicle i s s tarted. It i s on-
l y activated when the button
ein the das hboard is
pressed. The LED on the button s witches on to confirm
that the system has been activated and a dedicated me s-
s age appear s on the dis play. When activated, the system
s tarts recognis ing operating condition s (condition signalled
to the driver by the LED on the button and the
esym-
bol on the ins trument panel flas hing). Once the system has
recognis ed the operating condition s, it become s active.
Therefore: the
eicon in the ins trument panel s witches off
and the LED on the button remain s on cons tantly.
IMPORTANT If the operating condition s are no longer
pres ent then the system will deactivate. Thi s i s s ignalled
to the driver by the LED on the button fla shing and the
amber
eicon on the ins trument panel flas hing.

DEACTIVATING THE S YSTEM
Manual mode
The system can be deactivated b y pressing button A - fig.
73 in the das hboard.
Confirmation that the system has been switched off is giv-
en by the LED in the button and the message 1 - fig.74
in the dis play going out.
S
Y STEM AC TIVATION/DEAC TIVATION
With the system on, if the vehicle approaches one of the
lines defining the s ide of the lane, a torque is applied to
the steering wheel to let the driver know which direction
to steer in order to s tay within the lane. If the driver turn s
on the direction indicator in order to change lane s or for
overtaking, then the system will s witch off momentarily.
If the driver wi shes to change lanes without turning the
direction indicator on, then there will be a warning from
the steering wheel that the y are about to cross the line.
If the driver continues with the manoeuvre to change lane s,
the system will be temporaril y deactivated and then switch
back on again once it ha s r

ecognized the new driving lane.
The driver i s advis ed of this temporary deactivation b y the
flas hing of the LED on the button and the fla shing of the
eamber symbol on the di splay .
IMPORTANT The force applied to the steering wheel by
the system is s ufficient for the driver to notice it but they
can eas ily override it and maintain control of the vehicle.

SY STEM FAILURE
In the event of malfunction, the system advises the dri-
ver of the fault through message 3 - fig. 74 on the dis -
play and an acous tic signal.
IMPORTANT
The driving advi sor does not work due to a malfunction
of the following s afety systems : ABS, ESP, ASR, DS T
and TTC.
The driving advisor is not an automatic dri-
ving system and does not replace the driver
in controlling the trajectory of the car. The
driver is personally responsible for maintaining a
suitable level of attention to the traffic and road con-
ditions and for controlling the trajectory of the ve-
hicle safely.
Automatic mode
The system can be deactivated automaticall y (if the sys-
tem is required it will therefore need to be reactivated).
The driver is advised that the system has been turned off
automatically by three cons ecutive acous tic signals and
the message 1 – fig. 74 in the di splay in the following con-
ditions :
❍ the driver does not keep their hands on the steering
wheel (indication 2 - fig. 74 i s s hown on the ins tru-
ment panel and an acous tic signal sounds until the dri-
ver places his hands back on the wheel. Thi s is con-
s idered a dangerous condition and the system is au-
tomatically deactivated);
❍ intervention of the vehicle s afety systems (ABS, ESP,
A SR, DS T and TTC);
❍ the driver activates the sports driving s etting pr

essing
the SPORT button (for vers ions/markets where pro-
vided).
IMPORTANT The system cannot be activated if the dri-
ver has previous ly s elected the s ports driving mode. The
impossibility of using the system will be communicated to
the driver by three consecutive beeps and by the message
1 - fig. 74 in the di splay .

ADVANCED ESP SYSTEM
(ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAM)
This is an electronic system controlling car s tability in the
event of ty re grip loss, helping to maintain directional con-
trol.
The Advanced E SP system is therefore particularly use-
ful when road surface grip condition s change.
With the Advanced E SP system as well as the ASR (trac-
tion control with intervention on the brake s and the en-
gine) plus the HILL HOLDER (device for hill starts with-
out us ing the brakes ) and also MSR (adjus tment of engine
braking force with gear down shift), HBA (automatic in-
creas e in braking pressure during emergency braking),
ABS (preventing the wheel s from locking and slipping on
all road s urfaces during s harp braking and D ST (appli-
cation of force on the steering wheel for steering correc-
tion) functions are all available. S
Y STEM INTERVENTION
This is s ignalled b y the blinking of the á warning light on
the ins trument panel, to inform the driver that the car i s
in critical s tability and grip condition s.
S witching the system on
The Advanced ES P system comes on automaticall y when
the vehicle is started and cannot be turned off.
Fault indications
In the event of a failur

e, the Advanced ES P system will be
automaticall y s witched off and á warning light will ap-
pear cons tantly in the ins trument panel along with a me s-
s age on the reconfigurable multifunction di splay . The LED
on the AS R OFF button will als o light up (see “Instrument
panel warning light s” chapter). In thi s cas e, go to a Lan-
cia Dealers hip.
The performance of the Advanced ESP sys-
tem should not encourage the driver to take
unnecessary risks. Driving style must always
be adapted to road conditions, visibility and traf-
fic. The driver is ultimately responsible for road
safety.

Fault indications
System failure is indicated by the
áwarning light light-
ing up in the in strument panel together with a dedicated
message appearing in the reconfigurable multifunction di s-
play ; see “Ins trument panel warning light s” chapter.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake; therefore, never leave the vehicle without having
engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off engaged the
firs t gear.
The Advanced ESP system continues to op-
erate if the space-saver wheel is fitted. Al-
ways remember that the space-saver wheel,
being smaller than the original wheel provides less
grip.
For the correct operation of the Advanced ESP and
ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be the same
make and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions
and, above all, of the type, make and size speci-
fied.
HILL HOLDER S YSTEM
This is an integral part of the Advanced E SP system and
automaticall y cuts in in the following condition s:
❍ uphill: car at a s tandstill on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake ped-
al pressed, gearbox in neutral or engaged gear other
than revers e.
❍ downhill: car at a stands till on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake ped-
al pressed and revers e gear engaged.
During take off the Advanced E SP system control unit
maintains the braking pressure at the wheel s until the en-
gine torque required for departure i s reached or for a max-
imum of 2 seconds , allowing your right foot to be moved
eas ily from the brake pedal to the accelerator.
When two s econds have elaps ed, without starting, the sys-
tem is automaticall y deactivated, graduall y releas ing the
braking pressure. During thi s releas e stage it is possible to
hear a ty pical mechanical brake r

elea se nois e, indicating
the imminent move of the car.

ASR SY STEM (Antislip Reg ulation)
This is integral to the ES P system and automaticall y in-
tervenes if one or both drive wheel s s lip, helping the dri-
ver to control the car. The action of the A SR system is par-
ticularly helpful in the following circum stances :
❍ slipping of the inner wheel when cornering due to the
effect of dy namic load change s or excessive accelera-
tion;
❍ too much power tran smitted to the wheels . also in re-
lation to road surface condition s;
❍ acceleration on slippery , snowy or frozen road s urfaces;
❍ in the event of loss of grip on a wet s urface (aqua-
planing). M
SR SY STEM (eng ine drive reg ulation)
The MS R sys tem i s an integral part of the AS R, that in-
tervenes , if ther

e is a s udden change to a lower gear, res tor-
ing torque to the engine, thereb y preventing excessive dri-
ve at the drive wheels which, especially in poor grip con-
ditions , could lead to a lo ss in stability of the vehicle.

Switching ASRs ystem on/off fig . 75
The AS R system switches on automaticall y each time the
engine is s tarted. Whils t driving, the A SR can be s witched
off and s ubsequently s witched on again b y pressing the
A SR OFF button.
When the system is active, a message on the reconfigurable
multifunction dis play is dis play ed.
fig. 75L0E0056m
When the system is deactivated, the LED on the AS R OFF
button turns on and a me ssage appears in the reconfig-
urable multifunction di splay . When the AS R is s witched
off whils t driving, the next time the car i s s tarted up the
A SR is automaticall y s witched on b y the system.
When travelling on snowy roads with s now chains , it may
be helpful to turn the AS R off: in fact, in these conditions,
the driving wheels s kidding when moving off give s y ou
better traction.

TTCSYSTEM (Electronic self-lockin g differential)
THIS IS a system, which i s an integral part of the AS R,
that intervenes on entering bends giving drive torque to
the outer wheel and braking the inner wheel.
In this way the effect of a self-locking differential is s im-
ulated, increasing the sportine ss of the car and improv-
ing cornering. ABS

This system, which is an integral part of the braking sys-
tem, prevents one or more wheel s from locking and slip-
ping in all road surface conditions , irrespective of the in-
tens ity of the braking action, en suring that the vehicle can
be controlled even during emergenc y braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force Di stribution)
completes the system allowing the brake force to be di s-
tributed between the front and rear wheel s.
IMPORTANT To get the maximum efficienc y of the brak-
ing system, a bedding-in period of about 500 km i s need-
ed: during thi s period it is better to avoid sharp, r
epeat-
ed and prolonged braking.

EBD failure
This is s ignalled by the >andxwarning light s on the
ins trument panel coming on, together with a me ssage on
the reconfigurable multifunction di splay . In this case, the
rear wheels may s uddenly lock and the vehicle ma y s werve
when braking s harply.
Therefore, drive very cautiously to the neares t Lancia
Dealers hip to have the system checked.
If only xwarning light on 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 convention-
al type or with ABS.
FAULT INDIC AT I O NS
ABS failure
This is s ignalled by the >warning light in the in strument
panel coming on together with a message in the recon-
figurable multifunction di splay . In this case, the braking
system will still be effective, although without the extra
capacity offered by the ABS. Drive carefully to the near-
e st Lancia Dealer ship to have the system checked.
