new driving lane. This temporary deactivation will be sig-
nalled to the driver by the LED in the button flashing and
by the symbol
ein the amber coloured panel in the in-
strument panel display also flashing.
SWITCHING OFF THE SYSTEM
Manual method
The system can be deactivated by pressing button A-fig.
70 on the dashboard.
Confirmation of system deactivation is signalled by the
LED on the button going out and a message 1-fig. 71 ap-
pearing on the display.
Automatic method
The system can be deactivated automatically (if the sys-
tem is required it will therefore need to be reactivated).
The driver is advised that the system has been turned off au-
tomatically by three consecutive acoustic signals and the mes-
sage 1 – fig. 71 in the instrument panel display after the fol-
lowing situations:
the driver does not keep his hands on the steering wheel
(indication 2-fig. 71 is shown on the instrument pan-
el and a buzzer sounds until the driver places his hands
back on the wheel. This is considered a dangerous con-
dition and the system is automatically deactivated);
triggering of the vehicle safety systems (ABS, ESP,
ASR, DST and TTC).SYSTEM FAILURE
In the event of a malfunction, the system reports the fault
via a message 3-fig. 71 appearing on the display and a
buzzer sounding.
IMPORTANT
The driving advisor is unable to operate following a malfunc-
tion in any of the following safety systems: ABS, ESP, ASR,
DST and TTC.
In the presence of indistinct, overlapping or
missing lane markings, the lane assistance
function is unable to aid the driver and the
system will be deactivated.
The driving advisor is not an automatic dri-
ving system and cannot replace the driver in
controlling the vehicle trajectory. The driver
is personally responsible for maintaining a suitable
level of concentration as traffic and road conditions
require, and for safely controlling the vehicle’s tra-
jectory.
The operation of the lane assistance function may be com-
promised by adverse visibility conditions (rain, fog, snow),
extreme lighting conditions (solar glare, darkness) or dirt
or damage, even partial, to the windscreen in the area
around the video camera.
The area of the windscreen by the TV camera should not
be partly or totally obscured by objects (e.g. stickers, pro-
tective film, etc.)

System activation is signalled by a message on the recon-
figurable multifunctional display.
When the system is deactivated, the LED on the ASR OFF
button turns on and a message appears on the reconfig-
urable multifunctional display. If the ASR system is de-
activated when travelling, it is automatically turned on by
the system the next time the vehicle is started.
It may be useful to switch off the ASR system when dri-
ving on snow-covered roads with snow chains fitted: in
these conditions, slipping of the drive wheels during take-
off provides better traction.
TTC system
(Electronic self-locking differential)
THIS system is an integral part of the ASR system, which
cuts in when cornering to provide torque to the outside
wheel and braking action to the inside wheel.
In this way the effect of a self-locking differential is sim-
ulated, increasing the sportiness of the car and improv-
ing cornering.ABS SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the braking system, which pre-
vents the wheels from locking or slipping regardless of road
surface conditions and braking intensity, giving the best
control during emergency braking.
The system is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking
Force Distribution), which distributes the braking action
between front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To achieve maximum efficiency of the brak-
ing system, a settlement period of about 500 km is re-
quired: during this time, avoid sudden, repeated and pro-
longed braking.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) pro-
vides a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related com-
ponents. It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
U
warning light on the instrument panel together with a mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multifunctional display, when
these components are no longer in peak condition (see “In-
strument panel warning lights”).
The objective is:
to keep system efficiency under control;
to signal a fault which causes emission levels to in-
crease;
to signal the need to replace deteriorated components.
The system also has a diagnostic connector that can be in-
terfaced 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 problem, 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.
Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible if warning light
Ueither does not light
up when the key is turned to MAR or if,
while travelling, the warning light comes on either
steadily or blinking (along with a message on the
reconfigurable multifunctional display). The op-
eration of warning light
Umay be checked by the
traffic police using specific devices. Respect the
laws in force in the country where you are driving.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
This is an electrically controlled power steering system
called “Dualdrive”. It is only operational with the ignition
key turned to MAR and the engine running; it can be cus-
tomised by the driver according to the driving conditions.
IMPORTANT If the ignition key is turned very quickly,
it may take 1-2 seconds before full power steering func-
tionality can be achieved.
