ABS SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an ABS braking system, which
prevents the wheels from locking when braking,
makes the most of road grip and gives the best
control when emergency braking under difficult
road conditions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking
Force Distribution), which distributes the braking
action between front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To have the maximum efficiency of
the braking system, it is necessary a setting period
of about 500 km: during this period it is better to
avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged brakes.ABS INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has come into
action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and
the system gets noisier: it means that the car speed
should be altered to fit the type of road surface.
If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that the grip
between tyre and the road surface has reached the
limit: you must slow down to match the speed to the
road grip available.
FAILURE WARNINGS
ABS failure
If there is a fault, the instrument panel warning
light
>will come on together with the message
(where provided) on the reconfigurable
multifunction display (see the “Warning lights”
chapter).
In this case the braking system is still efficient,
though without the aid of the ABS system. Drive
carefully to the closest Lancia Dealership to have
the system checked.
If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that the grip between tyre and the road
surface has reached the limit: you must slow down to match the speed to the road
grip available.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre-road grip at the best, but it cannot improve it; you
should therefore take every care when driving on slippery surfaces without taking
unnecessary risks.

EBD failure
It is signalled by lighting up of instrument panel
warning lights
>andxtogether with the message
(where provided) on the multifunction display
(see the “Warning lights” chapter).In this case with sharp braking the rear wheels
might lock too early, with the possibility of
skidding. Drive extremely carefully to the nearest
Lancia Dealership to have the system checked.
When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your
foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road conditions.
WARNING
WARNING
If brake fluid low warning light xlights up on the instrument panel (together,
where provided, with the message on the multifunction display), stop immediately
the car and contact the closest Lancia Dealership. Fluid leaks from the hydraulic
system, in fact, can compromise the braking system, both traditional systems and
systems with ABS.

ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system controlling
the car stability in the event of tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly useful
when grip conditions of the road surfaces change.
ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is indicated by the blinking of the warning light
áon the instrument panel, to inform the driver that
the car is in critical stability and grip conditions.
The performance of the system, in terms of active
safety should not induce the driver to take pointless
and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in
any case always be adapted to the conditions of the
road surface, visibility and traffic. Road safety is
always the driver’s responsibility. ESP SYSTEM OPERATION
The ESP system is automatically inserted when the
car is started and cannot be deactivated.
FAILURE WARNINGS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is
automatically disconnected and the warning light
áwill come on with fixed light on the instrument
panel together with the message on the
multifunction display. In this case contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis)
allows continuos diagnosis of the components of the
car correlated with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the warning
lightUon the instrument panel (together, where
provided, with the message on the reconfigurable
multifunction display - see the “Warning lights”
chapter) when these components are no longer in
peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep system efficiency under control;
❒to warn when a fault causes emission levels to
increase;
❒to warn of the need to replace deteriorated
components.The system also has a diagnostic connector that can
be interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in the control
unit, together with a series of specific parameters
for engine operation and diagnosis. This check can
also be carried out by the traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the inconvenience,
to check the system completely, Lancia Dealerships
are obliged to run a bench test and, if necessary,
road tests which may also call for a long journey.
If turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light Udoes not turn on or if, while travelling, it
turns on glowing steadily or flashing, (on some versions together with the message on the
reconfigurable multifunction display), contact Lancia Dealership as soon as possible. The
operation of warning light Ucan be checked by the traffic police. Attain to the rules enforced in
the country where the car is being used.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (T.P.M.S.)
IMPORTANT Failure indications will not be stored
and therefore will not be displayed when turning
the engine off and on again. If failure persists, the
control unit will send warning indications to the
instrument panel only after a few seconds when the
car is moving.
IMPORTANT T.P.M.S. system cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops (e.g.: tyre burst).
In this event, brake the car cautiously and avoid
sudden steering.
IMPORTANT Cross switching of rear tyres with
front tyres or replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa involves T.P.M.S. system set-up
that shall be performed at Lancia Dealerships only.IMPORTANT The T.P.M.S. system requires specific
equipment. Apply to Lancia Dealerships for
compatible accessories (wheels, wheel caps, etc.).
Other accessories could impair regular system
operation.
Due to the particular valve characteristics, use only
Lancia-approved tyre repair sealing fluids. Other
products could impair regular system operation.
IMPORTANT Tyre pressure could change according
to outside temperature. For this reason the T.P.M.S.
system could temporarily indicate low tyre pressure.
In this event check pressure with cold tyres and
restore proper inflation values if required.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with T.P.M.S.
system, tyre and/or rim changing should be
performed adopting special precautions. To avoid
bad installation of sensors or damages, have these
operations performed by Lancia Dealership
qualified personnel only.
IMPORTANT If after repairing a punctured tyre
with the Fix&Go kit and restoring the initial
conditions the flat tyre warning light continues to
stay on, contact Lancia Dealership.

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an electrically controlled power steering called
“Dualdrive”. It only works when the ignition key is at MAR and the
engine is running and it can be customised by the driver according to
the driving conditions.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION (CITY function)
To turn this function on/off, press the CITY button located in the
middle of the instrument panel.
On some versions the activation of this function is signalled by the
lighting up of the CITY warning light on the instrument panel, on
others by the lighting up of CITY on the reconfigurable multifunction
display.
With the CITY function, the steering wheel will be lighter and require
less effort for parking. This operating strategy is suitable for driving
in cities.

WARNING
WARNING
Be careful when mounting additional spoilers, alloy rims and non original wheel
caps: they may reduce the brake ventilation and efficiency during sharp and
repeated braking or sloping downhill. Also make sure that nothing (over-
carpeting, etc.) interferes with the pedal stroke.

S.B.R. system
The car is fitted with the S.B.R. system (Seat Belt
Reminder), consisting of a buzzer which, together
with the flashing of warning light instrument panel, warns the driver to fasten the seat
belts.
