“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
This is an electrically controlled power s teering system
called “Dualdrive”. It i s only operational with the ignition
key turned to MAR and the engine running; it can be cu s-
tomis ed by the driver according to the driving condition s.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition ke y quickly , com-
plete power s teering functionality may be achieved after
1-2 seconds . C
ITY FUNC TION
A CTIVATION/DEAC TIVATION
Press button A - fig.76 to activate/deactivate the function.
When the function i s active, the CITY warning light on
the ins trument panel turns on.
When the CITY function i s on, the s teering wheel effort
i s lighter and parking operation s are eas ier: therefore this
function is particularl y u seful for driving in cit y centres .

IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and is caused by a system to prevent the
motor from overheating. No servicing is required. The
power steering system will s tart working normall y again
the next time the car is used.TPMS SYSTEM
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
(for vers ions/markets , where provided)
The car may be equipped with a TPMS (Tyre Pre ssure
Monitoring System). This system compris es a radio fre-
quency transmitter fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim
ins ide the ty re), which i s able to send information on the
t y re inflation pressure of each wheel to the control unit.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE TPMS
The fault indication s are not s tored and will therefore
not be dis played after the engine ha s been s witched off
and then on again. If the fault condition s pers is t, the con-
trol unit will s end the relative indication s to the ins tru-
ment panel only after the car ha s been in motion for a
s hort time.
Before starting any servicing operation, stop
the engine and remove the key from the ig-
nition switch to operate the steering lock, par-
ticularly when the wheels do not touch the ground.
If this is not possible (i.e. if the key must be kept
in the MAR position or the engine must be kept run-
ning), remove the main electric power steering sys-
tem fuse.

The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pres-
sure drops (for example when a tyre blows
out). In this case stop the car, braking with
care and avoiding sharp steering actions.
Replacing the normal tyres with winter tyres
and vice versa requires the inspection of the
TPMS, which should only be carried out by
a Lancia Dealership.
The TPMS requires the use of specific equip-
ment. Contact a Lancia Dealership to find out
which accessories are compatible with the
system (wheels, hub caps etc.). The use of other ac-
cessories may affect the normal operation of the sys-
tem.
Tyre inflation pressure may vary according
to outdoor temperature. The TPMS may tem-
porarily indicate insufficient pressure. In this
case, check the tyre pressures with the tyres cold
and, if necessary, restore the inflation values.
The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go Automatic) pro-
vided with the car is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not equiva-
lent with that in the original kit may adversely af-
fect its operation. If sealants not equivalent with
the original one are used, it is recommended to
have the TPMS sensors checked by a qualified re-
pair centre.

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.

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.

If the driver carries out a voluntary or involuntary action
on the s teering during the parking manoeuvre (touching it
or preventing it s movement), the manoeuvre will be in-
terrupted.
If the road s urface is very uneven or there are obs tacles un-
der the wheel s affecting the movement of the vehicle, pre-
venting it from continuing along the correct trajector y, the
manoeuvre ma y be interrupted.
End of manoeuvre
If the s ize of parking s pace permits, the parking manoeu-
vre may be performed in one go; when revers e gear is re-
leas ed the wheels will be realigned and the manoeuvre will
be cons idered completed; the system will consequently be
deactivated. If the size of the parking space is s maller, park-
ing may require s everal manoeuvres : the driver will be ad-
vis ed to complete the parking manoeuvre manuall y through
a dedicated message on the ins trument panel display . General warning

❍ The ultimate res ponsibility when parking, however
, al-
ways re sts with the driver. During the se manoeuvres ,
always make s ure that no people, animals or objects are
within the manoeuvring area. The Magic Parking sys-
tem (like parking s ensors) is des igned to assi st driver s:
in all ca se s, you mu st always pa y the utmo st attention
during potentially dangerous manoeuvre s, even when
thes e are carried out a low s peed:
❍ If the s ensors undergo s hocks influencing their po sition,
the system operation could be s trongly degraded.
❍ If the s ensors are dirty , covered by s now
, ice or mud or
are repainted compared to the original condition s, the
system operation could be s trongly degraded.
❍ It is extremely important, for the correct operation of
the system, that the s ensors are always kept clean. Dur-
ing cleaning, make s ure not to scratch or damage them;
avoid us ing dry or rough cloths . The sensors mus t be
was hed us ing clean water, with the addition of car
s hampoo if necessary . When using special was hing
equipment such as high pressure jets or steam clean-
ing, clean the sens ors 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 advis-
able to handle it firmly on the outer rim. Do
not try and keep your hands on the inside or hold
the spokes.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If after bu ying the car, you decide to in stall electrical ac-
cessories that require a permanent electric supply (radio,
s atellite anti-theft system, etc.) or acce ssories that in an y
cas e burden the electric s upply, contact a Lancia Dealer-
s hip, whos e qualified pers onnel, besides s ugges ting the
mos t suitable devices from Lineaccessori Lancia, will al-
s o evaluate the overall electric cons umption, checking
whether the car’ s electrical system is able to withstand the
load required, or whether it need s to be integrated with a
more powerful batter y.
Take care when fitting additional spoilers,
alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs:
they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes
and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated brak-
ing or on long descents. Make sure that nothing ob-
structs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
