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.

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
s
❍ 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.

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.

ACOUS TIC SIGNAL
The information concerning the pre sence and dis tance of
an obs tacle from the car is transmitted to the driver by
means of acous tic signals from 2 buzzers installed in the
passenger compartment:
❍ a front buzzer warns of the presence of obs tacles at the
front and a buzzer located at the rear warns of the pres-
ence of obs tacles at the rear. Thi s permits the driver to
perceive the direction (front/rear) of the ob stacles .
Operation i s automaticall y activated when rever se gear
i s engaged.
The acou stic 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 obs tacle is less than ar

ound 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance increas es;
❍ is cons tant if the dis tance is unvaried; if this s ituation
occurs for the s ide sens ors, the indication will s top af-
ter about 3 s econds to avoid, for example, warning in-
dications in the event of manoeuvre s alongs ide walls .
The sensor must be clean of mud, dirt, snow
or ice in order for the system to operate cor-
rectly. Be careful not to scratch or damage the
sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough
or hard cloths. The sensors must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of car shampoo if nec-
essary. 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.
Only have the bumpers repainted or any re-
touches to the paintwork in the area of the
sensors carried out by a Lancia Dealership.
If the paint is incorrectly applied this could ad-
versely affect the operation of the parking sensors.
S ENS OR OPERATING RANGE
The sens ors allow the system to check the front part (ver-
s ion with 8 s ensors) and rear part of the vehicle.
Their pos ition covers the middle and s ide areas of the front
and rear of the car. If an obs tacle is located in a middle area,
it is detected when the dis tance is less than about 0.9 m
(front) and 1.30 m (rear).
If the obs tacle is located at the s ide, it is detected at dis -
tances of less than 0.6 m.

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.

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.
