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.

It is absolutely forbidden to carry out whatever after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect performance and safety.
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.

FAILURE WARNINGS
Any electric power steering failure is indicated by
cluster warning light gcoming on (together, with
the message on the multifunction display - see the
“Warning lights” chapter).
In the event of electric power steering failure, the
car can be driven with mechanical steering to the
closest Lancia Dealership.IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff
following parking manoeuvres including a great
deal of steering. This is normal and caused by the
system to prevent motor overheating. No servicing is
required. The electrical power steering system will
return to normal operation the next time the car is
used.

WARNING
Always switch the engine off, remove the key from the starting device and actuate
the steering lock before carrying out any maintenance operation, especially when
the wheels are raised from the ground. In case this is not possible (e.g. when the
key must be in MAR position or the engine running), remove the electric power
steering main fuse before carrying out any maintenance operation.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel engine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for 1.3 Multijet 90 HP version)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines. The diesel particular filter has been adopted to
eliminate almost totally particulates in compliance with current / future law regulations. During normal use
of the vehicle, the engine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc.)
and it will then calculate how much particulates has been trapped by the filter. Since this filter physically
traps particulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles.
Reclaiming procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions
and the conditions of use of the vehicle. During reclaiming the following phenomena could take place: idling
slight increase, fan activation, slight smoke increase, high exhaust temperatures. These situations shall not be
considered as faults and they do not affect vehicle performance and environment. If the dedicated message
is displayed, refer to paragraph “Warning lights and messages”.

To return to manual mode, set the gear lever back to A/M.
With the car stationary and the key removed, it is possible to shift the
lever with/without the brake pedal pressed. The system will perform
no actuation when shifting the lever and the gear engaged will be the
one stored before removing the ignition key.
IMPORTANT With the engine off and the car stationary, any error
between lever position and gear engaged is indicated by warning light
(è) coming on for a few seconds on the instrument panel together
with the message on the multifunction display.

MANUAL OPERATION (MANUAL)
In this operating mode, the decision to change gear
is left to the driver who decides the most
appropriate moment.
To change gears in MANUAL operating mode
proceed as follows:
❒move lever to + (UP) to engage higher gear;
or
❒move lever to – (DOWN) to engage lower gear.
The system will cut in automatically preventing
gearshifting only if the request to change gear will
impair regular engine and transmission operation;
the system will also shift down gears automatically
when the engine (e.g.: at slowing down).The system will warn the driver that the required
gear will not be engaged through the sound of the
buzzer and a dedicated message on the
multifunction display (see paragraph “Warning
lights and messages”).

AUTOMATIC OPERATION (AUTO)
For engaging/disengaging the automatic operating mode (AUTO),
move lever A to A/M: automatic mode activation is indicated by
message AUTO and gear engaged on the display (see figure).
With AUTO mode active, the system decides to change gear
depending on car speed, engine rpm and how the accelerator pedal is
pressed. It is however possible to change gears with the control lever
without deactivating the automatic mode: this function called “gear
advice” suspends the automatic mode for the time required to change
gear.

Automatic operation (AUTO - ECO)
The ECO function can be activated only with automatic mode active.
To activate the ECO function press button E set on the mask near the
gearshift lever. After activating this function, the display shows the
gear engaged and words AUTO and E (see figure).
With ECO function active the system will select the most suitable gear
(according to car speed, engine rpm and how the accelerator pedal is
pressed) to save as much fuel as possible.
If necessary (e.g.: overtaking) the system will change gears in order
to provide suitable torque and power for acceleration (this will take
place in automatic mode regardless of ECO function condition, ON or
OFF).
