IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different positions:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked.
Certain electrical devices (e.g.: sound system, power windows…)
can work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are powered.
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable position).
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety mechanism that, in the
event the engine is not started, turns back the ignition key to STOP
before repeating the starting operation.

WARNING
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, cause the lapse of
warranty and also result in non-compliance of the car with homologation
requirements.

Proceed as follows:
❒release the lever pulling it towards the steering wheel (position 2);
❒adjust the steering wheel as required;
❒lock the lever pushing it forwards (position 1).

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.

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM (where provided)
It is an integral part of the ESP system and
facilitates starting on an uphill slope.
It is automatically activated in the following
conditions:
Uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with gradient
above 2%, engine running, clutch and brake pedals
pressed and gearbox in neutral position or gear
engaged (reverse excluded).
Downhill: stationary on a road with gradient above
2%, engine running, clutch and brake pedals
pressed and reverse engaged.
During pickup the ESP system control unit
maintains the wheel braking pressure until the
engine torque required for start up is reached, or
anyway for a maximum of 2 seconds, so that the
right foot can be moved easily from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal.After 2 seconds and without starting the car, the
system automatically deactivates gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase it is possible
to hear the typical brake mechanical disengaging
noise which indicates the car is about to move off.
Failure warnings
In the event of failure, the instrument cluster
warning light
*will come on together with the
message on the multifunction display.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a
parking brake therefore, never leave the car without
engaging the parking brake, the first gear and
turning the engine off.

WARNING
During the use of the spare wheel, the ESP system carries on working.
However, you must remind that the spare wheel presents dimensions smaller
than the standard tyre and therefore the grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.
WARNING
For correct operation of the ESP system, the tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of the type,
brand and size specified.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If, after buying the car, you decide to install
electrical accessories that require a permanent
electric supply (alarm, satellite antitheft system,
etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the
electric supply, contact Lancia Dealership, whose
qualified personnel, besides suggesting the most
suitable devices belonging to Lineaccessori Lancia,
will also evaluate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the vehicle electric system is able
to withstand the load required, or whether it needs
to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed after buying the
vehicle and in after-market shall bear the following
marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation of
transceivers, provided that installation is workmanlike
performed in compliance with Manufacturer’s
specifications at a specialised service centre.
IMPORTANT The installation of devices involving
modifications of vehicle characteristics may
determine the withdrawal of the driving licence by
the appointed public authorities and the forfeiture ofthe warranty as concerns defects/failures due to said
modification or leading directly or indirectly to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility due to
damages connected with the installation of
accessories/devices not supplied by or recommended
by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installed not in compliance
with the specified prescriptions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs mobile
phones, HAM radio systems and the like) shall not
be used inside the car unless a separate aerial is
mounted outside the car.
The use of these devices inside the passenger
compartment (without external aerial) may cause
electrical systems equipping the car to malfunction.
This could compromise car safety in addition to
constituting a potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be affected by the shielding effect of
the car body.
As concerns the use of mobile phones (GSM, GPRS,
UMTS) provided with official EC approval, strictly
comply with the instructions given by the mobile
phone manufacturer.

“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.
