steering wheel Lancia Delta 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

108KNOWING YOUR CAR
Under no circumstances should aftermarket
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.
installation of anti-theft device). This could nega-
tively affect performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty, cause serious safety problems and also
result in vehicle non-compliance with type-ap-
proval requirements.
Before servicing the car, switch off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition device
to activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels are not touching 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
running), remove the main electric power steering
system fuse.On some versions, with the CITY function ac-
tivated, the SPORT function is not available.
To activate the SPORT function, deactivate the
CITY function and vice versa, because they are rec-
iprocally incompatible.
IMPORTANT The function i s activated about 5 s econds
after the S PORT button is pressed.
IMPORTANT The s teering may become stiffer during
parking manoeuvres including a great deal of s teering.
This is normal and caus ed by the system preventing the
electric control motor overheating. No repair s are needed.
The power s teering system will s tart working normall y
again the next time the car i s u sed.

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.

“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.

128KNOWING YOUR CAR
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.
