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.

Version with 8 sensors
On the version with 4 front sens ors and 4 rear s ensors, the
system is activated when revers e gear is engaged or by
pressing the button fig. 84. If there ha s been a reque st to
activate the Magic Parking function, the front and rear
s ens ors are not automaticall y activated during the search
for a parking space, but can be activated b y pre ssing the
s pecial button
tor by engaging revers e gear when the
s peed is below around 15 km/h.
When revers e gear is released, the front and rear s ensors
remain activated until a speed of around 15 km/h i s ex-
ceeded to allow the parking manoeuvre to be completed.
The system can als o be activated by pressing the button
tin the central panel: a warning light in the button
s witches on when the system is activated.
The sens ors are deactivated by pressing the button
tagain or when a speed of 15 km/h is exceeded: thewarning light in the button i
s off when the system is not
active.
When the s ensors are activated, the system starts to pro-
duce acous tic signals from the front or rear buzzers as s oon
a s an obs tacle is detected with the frequency increasing as
the obs tacle gets closer.
When the obs tacle is less than about 30 cm away , the
s ound becomes continuous. Depending on the po sition of
the obs tacle (in front or behind) the sound is emitted by
the corres ponding buzzers (front or rear). The obs tacle
clos est to the car is signalled.
The acoustic signal stops immediately if the distance of
the obs tacle incr

eases. The s ound cy cle remains constant
if the dis tance meas ured by the centre s ensors remains un-
changed, whils t if this s ituation occurs for the side sen-
s ors , the s ignal is interrupted after about 3 s econds (for
example, to prevent s ignals in the cas e of manoeuvres
alongs ide walls ).

The responsibility for parking and other dan-
gerous manoeuvres always and in every case
lies with the driver. While carrying out these ma-
noeuvres, always make sure that no people (espe-
cially children) or animals are in the area con-
cerned. Parking sensors are designed to assist dri-
vers: in all cases, you must always pay the utmost
attention during potentially dangerous manoeuvres,
even when these are carried out a low speed.

OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sens ors is automaticall y deactivated
when the trailer’ s electric plug i s in serted in the car’ s tow
hook socket. The sens ors are automatically reactivated
when the trailer’ s cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If y ou wish to leave the tow hook fitted when
there is no trailer, it is advisable to go to a Lancia Deal-
ers hip to have the system updated becau se the tow hook
could be detected as an obstacle by the centre s ensors.
FAULT INDIC AT I O NS
Either symbol

ensor faults
are detected while revers e is engaged.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
During parking manoeuvre s, pay the utmos t attention to
any obs tacles that could be located above or below the s en-
s ors .
Under certain circum stances close objects located in front
of or behind the vehicle ma y not be detected and could
therefore caus e damage to the vehicle or be damaged
thems elves. The following condition
s 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 surface of the sens ors of: ice, s now
,
mud, thick paint.
❍ The sens ors detect a non-exi stent obs tacle (echo in-
terference) due to mechanical interference, for exam-
ple when was hing the vehicle, rain ( strong wind), hail.
❍ The indication s s ent by the sensors can als o be altered
b y the pres ence of ultras onic devices (e.g. truck pneu-
matic brake systems or pneumatic drill s) near the car.
❍ The performance of the parking a ssistance system may
als o be affected by the position of the s ensors. For ex-
ample, if the geometr y is altered (as a result of wear of
the shock abs orbers, su spens ion) or the ty res ar
e
changed, the vehicle i s too heavily laden, specific tun-
ing is carried out that lower s the vehicle.
❍ The detection of obs tacles to the upper part of the ve-
hicle is not guaranteed a s the system is designed to de-
tect obs tacles that could impact the lower part of the
vehicle.

IMPORTANT After putting the seats back to their trav-
elling position, restore the seat belt position to make them
ready for use.
IMPORTANT If the rear seat is being moved and this caus-
es the middle seat belt to lock temporarily, normal con-
ditions can be restored simply by moving the seat towards
the back of the car.

SAFETY
Should it be necessary to carry a child on the
passenger side front seat in a rear facing
child restraint system, the passenger side
front airbag and side bag (for versions/markets,
where provided) must be deactivated through the
Setup menu. Deactivation should be verified by
checking whether the warning light is switched on
in the instrument panel. Move the passenger’s seat
as far back as possible to avoid contact between the
child restraint system and the dashboard.Do not move the front or rear seat if a child
is seated on it or on the dedicated child re-
straint system.On the sun visor there is a label with suitable
symbols to remind you that it is compulsory to
deactivate the airbag if a rear facing child re-
straint system is fitted. Always comply with the in-
structions on the passenger’s side sun visor (see the
“Front Airbags” paragraph).
In Europe the characteristics of children restraint systems
are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:Group Weight rangeGroup 0 up to 10 kgGroup 0+ up to 13 kgGroup 1 9-18 kgGroup 2 15-25 kgGroup 3 22-36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the type-approval data
along with the control mark on a fixed label which must
never be removed in any circumstances. Lineaccessori
Lancia includes child restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are recommended, having been
specifically designed for Lancia cars.

SAFETY
Main instructions for carrying children safely:
❍Install the child restraint systems on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position in the event of
an accident.
❍Keep children in rear facing restraint systems for as
long as possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.
❍Should a rear facing child restraint system be installed
on the rear seats, it is advisable to position it as far for-
ward as the position of the front seat allows.
❍If the front passenger’s airbag is deactivated always
check that the dedicated warning light is permanent-
ly switched on on the instrument panel to make sure
that it has actually been deactivated.
❍Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child
restraint system itself. Keep the instructions in the car
along with the other documents and this handbook.
Do not use second-hand child restraint systems with-
out instructions.❍Only one child is to be strapped to each retaining sys-
tem; never use it to transport two children at once.
❍Always check that the seat belts do not interfere with
the child’s throat.
❍Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
❍While travelling, do not let the ch
ild sit incorrectly or
unfasten the belts.
❍Never allow a child to put the belt’s diagonal section
under an arm or behind their back.
❍Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-
one can restrain a child in the event of an accident.
❍In the event of an accident, replace the child restraint
system with a new one.
Fit the child restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be included.

KNEE BAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 14
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It consists of an instantly inflating cushion housed in a
compartment provided for the purpose under the lower
post guard at driver’s knee level, designed to give further
protection in the event of frontal impact.
Manual deactivation of passenger
front airbag and side bag
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat, the passenger front airbags and side bags can
be deactivated.
The instrument panel
“
warning light will stay on con-
stantly until the passenger front airbag and the Side Bag
are reactivated.
IMPORTANT To deactivate the passenger’s front airbag
and the side bags (for versions/markets, where provided),
refer to “Multifunction display” and “Reconfigurable mul-
tifunction display” paragraphs in the “Knowing your car”
chapter.

When there is an active passenger airbag, DO
NOT install rear facing child restraint sys-
tems on the front seat. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal in-
juries to the child regardless of the severity
of the impact. Therefore, always deactivate the pas-
senger airbag when a rear facing child restraint
system is installed on the front passenger seat. The
front passenger seat must also be positioned back
as far as possible in order to avoid the child re-
straint system from coming into contact with the
dashboard. Immediately reactivate the passenger
airbag as soon as the child restraint system has been
removed.

SAFETY
Never travel with objects on your lap, in front
of your chest or with something between your
lips like a pipe or pencil, etc. In the event of
an impact where the airbags are deployed this could
cause serious injury.Always keep your hands in the correct posi-
tion on the steering wheel whilst driving so
that if the airbags are activated they can in-
flate properly. Do not drive with your body bent for-
ward. Keep the backrest in straight position, rest-
ing your back correctly on it.If someone tried to steal or damage your car,
and in the event of floods, have the airbag
system checked by a Lancia Dealership.
GENERAL WARNINGS
If when turning the key to MAR the ¬warn-
ing light does not turn on or if it stays on
when travelling, there could be a failure in
the safety systems; in this event airbags or preten-
sioners may not be deployed in the event of an im-
pact or, in a lower number of cases, they may de-
ploy accidentally. Before proceeding, contact a Lan-
cia Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
Do not cover the front seat backrests with covers if
side bags are fitted.

With ignition key inserted, at MAR, even if
the engine is off, the airbags can activate al-
so with the car stopped, if it is hit by anoth-
er vehicle. Therefore, even if the car is stationary,
when an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install rear facing child restraint systems on the
front passenger seat. Deployment of the airbag fol-
lowing an impact could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger
airbag when a rear facing child restraint system
is installed on the front passenger seat. The front
passenger seat must also be positioned back as far
as possible in order to avoid the child restraint sys-
tem from coming into contact with the dashboard.
Immediately reactivate the passenger airbag as soon
as the child restraint system has been removed. Al-
so remember that, if the key is turned to STOP, none
of the safety devices (airbags or pretensioners) will
be deployed in the event of collision. Non-deploy-
ment in such cases does not indicate a system mal-
function.
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
“warning light turns on and blinks for a few
seconds to remind you that the passenger
airbag will activate in the event of a collision. Then
it should turn off.Do not wash the seats with water or pres-
surised steam (by hand or at automatic car
seat washing stations).The front airbags deploy in the event of more
severe collisions than those required for de-
ploying the pretensioners. For impacts in the
range between the two activation thresholds, pre-
tensioner activation alone is normal.Do not hook rigid objects to clothes hangers
and support handles.The airbag does not replace seat belts; it in-
creases their effectiveness. Furthermore, since
front airbags are not deployed in low speed
collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts or roll-
overs, the passengers are only protected by the seat
belts which must be fastened at all times.

Proceed as follows:
❍engage the handbrake;
❍put the gear lever into neutral;
❍turn the ignition key to MAR: the
m
and
Y
warn-
ing lights on the instrument panel will turn on;
❍wait for the warning lights

to turn off. The
hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;
❍fully depress the clutch pedal without operating the ac-
celerator;
❍turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as the
m
warn-
ing light goes out. Waiting too long will waste the heat-
ing work carried out by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.IMPORTANT With cold engine, the accelerator pedal shall
be completely released while turning the ignition key to
AV V.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, turn the
ignition key to STOP again before repeating the procedure.
If instrument panel
Y
warning light remains lit when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, turn the key to STOP and
then back to MAR; if the warning light remains lit, try the
other keys provided with the vehicle. Contact a Lancia Deal-
ership if you still cannot start the engine.
The
m
warning light will flash for 60 sec-
onds after starting or during prolonged
cranking to indicate a fault with the glow
plug pre-heating system. Use the car normally if the
engine starts and go to a Lancia Dealership as soon
as possible.
