WINDOW CLEANING
The right stalk controls windscreen wiper/washer
and heated rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
They can be operated only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
The ring nut A fig. 35 can be moved to four
different positions:
windscreen wiper off.
intermittent operation.
continuous slow operation.
continuous fast operation.Move the stalk upwards (unstable position) to
limit operation to the time for which the stalk is
held in this position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the wiper will
be automatically stopped.
With the ring nut A fig. 35 in position
, the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt
operating speed to the speed of the car.
With the windscreen wipers operational, if reverse
gear is engaged, the rear window wiper is
automatically activated.
Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protection,
which prevents operation for a few seconds,
may intervene. If operation is not restored
(even after using the key to restart the engine),
contact a Lancia Dealership.
Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the
windscreen.

Decreasing the stored speed
This can be carried out in two ways:
❒by deactivating the device and then storing the
new speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (-) until the
new speed, which will be stored automatically, is
reached.
Each movement of the lever corresponds to a
reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease the speed
continuously.
Deactivating the device
The device can be deactivated by the driver in the
following ways:
❒by turning ring nut A to the OFF position
❒by stopping the engine
❒by pressing the brake pedal, the clutch or the
accelerator; in this last case the system is not
effectively deactivated but gives priority to the
acceleration request. The device still remains
active, without the need to press the RES button
to return to the previous condition once
acceleration is concluded.Automatic deactivation
The device deactivates automatically in the
following cases:
❒if the ABS or ESC systems intervene
❒with the car speed below the set limit
❒in the event of system failure.
WARNING
When travelling with the device
active, never move the gear lever to
neutral.
WARNING
In the event of device faults or
failures, turn knob A to OFF and
contact a Lancia Dealership.

SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the flashing of theESCwarning
light on the instrument panel, to inform the driver
that the car is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESC system switches on automatically when
the engine is started and cannot be switched off.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the ESC system
and facilitates starting on slopes.
It is activated automatically in the following
instances:
❒uphill: car stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, brake pressed
and gearbox in neutral or gear (other than
reverse) engaged;
❒downhill: car stationary on a road with a
gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake
pressed and reverse gear engaged.
When setting off, the ESC system control unit
maintains braking pressure on the wheels until the
torque required for starting is reach or, in any
case, for a maximum of 2 seconds so that the right
foot can be moved easily from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.When 2 seconds have elapsed, without any
departure having taken place, the system is
automatically deactivated, gradually releasing the
braking pressure. During this release stage, a
typical mechanical brake release noise can
be heard, indicating that the car is about to move.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a
parking brake, therefore do not leave the vehicle
without activating the handbrake, switching
off the engine and engaging first gear.
ASR SYSTEM (AntiSlip Regulation)
It is an integral part of the ESC system. It
automatically operates in the event of one or both
drive wheels slipping, loss of grip on wet roads
(aquaplaning) and acceleration on slippery, snowy
or icy roads, etc…
Depending on the slipping conditions, two
different control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the
ASR intervenes reducing the power transmitted
by the engine;
❒if the slipping only involves one of the drive
wheels, it intervenes automatically braking
the wheel that is slipping.

BRAKE ASSIST
The system, which cannot be turned off,
recognises emergency braking (on the basis of the
brake pedal operating speed) and speeding up
the response of the braking system. The Brake
Assist device is deactivated if there is a ESC
system failure.
MSR SYSTEM
(Motor Schleppmoment Regelung)
This system is an integral part of the ABS, that
intervenes, if there is sudden downshifting,
restoring torque to the engine, thereby preventing
excessive drive at the drive wheels which,
especially in poor grip conditions, could lead to a
loss in stability of the car.START&STOP SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The Start&Stop system automatically stops the
engine each time the car is stationary and starts it
again when the driver wants to move off. In this
way, the car efficiency is increased, by reducing
consumption, dangerous gas emissions and noise
pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops with
gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal released.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped
automatically after driving at a speed of more
than about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine from
being repeatedly stopped when driving at walking
pace.
The
symbol appears on the display when the
engine stops.
Restarting the engine
Press the clutch pedal to restart the engine.

ENGINE STOPPING FAILURE CONDITIONS
When the system is active, due to comfort,
emission control and safety reasons, the engine
does not stop in some conditions, among which:
❒engine still cold;
❒especially cold outside temperature;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒particulate filter regeneration (DPF) in progress
(diesel engines only);
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example, for parking
manoeuvres);
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets, where provided),
if an adequate level of thermal comfort has
not been reached or with MAX-DEF activation;
❒during the first period of use, to initialise the
system.
If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Start&Stop system can be disabled,
for a continuous operation of the
climate control system.

ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, to limit harmful emissions
and for safety purposes, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the driver if
certain conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the
brake pedal is pressed repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a
gradient);
❒engine stopping by Start&Stop system for over
3 minutes;
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets where provided),
to enable suitable thermal comfort or with
MAX-DEF activation.
With gear engaged, automatic engine restarting is
possible only by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
The driver is informed by the displaying of a
message on the display and - for versions/markets,
where provided - by the flashing of the symbol
.Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, 3 minutes after the
engine stops, the engine can be restarted only
using the ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and this is not
desired, due for example to the clutch pedal being
released sharply with a gear engaged, if the
Start&Stop system is activated, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or
by placing the gear lever in neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the Start&Stop
system, if the driver releases his/her seat belt and
opens the driver's or passenger's door, the engine
can be restarted only using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer and by the
flashing of the symbol
on the display; on some
versions, a message is displayed as well.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile
phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be
used inside the car unless a separate aerial is
mounted externally.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external
aerial) may cause the electrical systems to
malfunction. This could compromise the safety of
the car in addition to constituting a potential
hazard for passengers' health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be affected by the shielding effect of
the car body. As far as the use of EC-approved
mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS),
follow the usage instructions provided by the
mobile phone manufacturer.PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The parking sensors are located in the car's rear
bumper fig. 79 and their function is to inform the
driver, through an intermittent acoustic signal,
about the presence of obstacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when
reverse gear is engaged. As the obstacle behind the
vehicle gets closer to the car, the acoustic signal
becomes more frequent.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged and there is an
obstacle behind the car an acoustic signal is
activated which varies according to the distance of
the obstacle from the bumper.

WARNING
The parking sensors serve to assist
the driver. The driver must never
allow his or her attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds. The Magic
Parking system does NOT in any way adjust
the speed of the car during the manoeuvre:
the control of the acceleration speed and
braking remain the responsibility of the
driver.

MAGIC PARKING
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Magic Parking system notifies the driver of a
free parallel parking space that is a suitable length
for the car; it helps the driver when manoeuvring
by automatically managing the movement of
the steering wheel.
During the manoeuvre the driver is also assisted
by information from the parking sensors (4 front
and 4 rear) which provide further distance
information when approaching obstacles in front
of and behind the car.
When looking for a parking space the front and
rear sensors are not activated (only the side
sensors are activated), during the manoeuvre, the
front and rear sensors will be automatically
activated when reverse gear is engaged.
WARNING
The ultimate responsibility when
parking is always the drivers. During
the entire manoeuvre it is always necessary
to make sure that there are no people or
animals in the space.

IMPORTANT The SEARCHING is disabled if,
after about 10 minutes, a suitable parking space
has not been found.
❒Identification:if the system identifies a free
parking space that is a suitable size for the
car, it signals its presence and indicates
the actions required for starting the manoeuvre.
❒Manoeuvre:the driver is asked to engage
reverse gear, release the steering wheel and
manage the accelerator, brake and clutch (in the
case of manual gearbox) or accelerator and
brake (in the case of automatic gearbox) (for
versions/markets, where provided). During the
reverse parking manoeuvre, the system manages
the steering wheel automatically. According to
the parking space, the manoeuvre may end
through reversing or further manoeuvres may be
necessary in both in forward and reverse gears.
After the first manoeuvre, when the rear buzzer
sounds continuously, the driver is requested to
disengage reverse and engage the forward
gear. If this is not enough, when the continuous
tone is reached, the driver is requested to engage
reverse. The semi-automatic manoeuvre ends
when the display shows the message "End
manually".
❒Conclusion:at the end of the manoeuvre, the
driver resumes control and, if necessary, has to
complete parking manually.
IMPORTANT MANOEUVRING is disabled if,
after 3 minutes, parking has not been completed.IMPORTANT Steering will be realigned after
reversing when reverse gear is disengaged. The
driver must complete the manoeuvre manually.
The Magic Parking operation is based
on various components: front and
rear parking sensors, side sensors,
steering system, wheels and braking system,
instrument panel. Bear in mind that
malfunction of one of these components could
compromise the operation of the system.
DESCRIPTION OF MANOEUVRING STAGES
Activation
The system is activated by pressing button
:as
soon as it is activated, the system starts searching
(the switching on of the LED on the button
indicates that the system is active).
Since the system recognises parking spaces even
when it is deactivated, the system can be activated
straight away after having driven past an
adjacent parking space that is deemed suitable.
If the system has identified a parking space,
searching will not be performed and the system
will notify the driver of the operations required to
carry out the manoeuvre correctly through the
instrument panel display.
