The sensor detects objects that are not there (“echo dis-
turbance”) caused by mechanical disturbances, for ex-
ample: washing the car, rain (extreme wind condi-
tions), hail.
The indications sent by the sensor can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasound devices (e.g. pneumat-
ic brake systems or pneumatic drills) near the car;
Parking sensor system performance can also be influ-
enced by the position of the sensors, for example due to
a change in the ride setting (caused by wear to the shock
absorbers, suspension), or by overloading the vehicle and
carrying out specific tuning operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered.
The ultimate responsibility when parking
and carrying out other dangerous manoeu-
vres still rests with the driver. When park-
ing, make sure that no-one is standing in the area,
especially children or animals. Parking sensors are
designed to assist drivers: in all cases, you must al-
ways pay the utmost attention during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even when these are carried
out a low speed.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If, after buying the car, you decide to install electrical ac-
cessories that require a permanent electrical supply (alarm,
satellite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories that in any
case burden the electric supply, contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship. Their qualified personnel, besides being able to sug-
gest the most suitable devices from the Lineaccessori Lan-
cia, will also evaluate the overall electric uptake, check-
ing whether the car’s electrical system is able to withstand
the required load, or whether a more powerful battery
needs to be installed.
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the
car, and also in the event of after-market service, must
carry the following label:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiv-
ing devices provided that they are installed according to
rules of good engineering practice in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and at a specialised centre.

152STARTING UP AND DRIVING
To engage reverse gear R from neutral, raise ring A un-
der the knob and at the same time move the gearshift lever
to the left and then forwards.
For the 1.6 Multijet version: To engage reverse R from neu-
tral, raise ring A under the knob and at the same time
move the gearshift lever to the right and then backwards.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should only be used to
change gear. Do not drive with you foot resting on the
clutch pedal, even lightly. For versions / markets where
provided, the electronic clutch control could cut in by in-
terpreting the anomalous driving style as a fault.
Press the clutch pedal fully to change gears
correctly. For this reason, there must be no
obstacles on the floor under the pedals: en-
sure that rubber mats (if any) are correctly posi-
tioned, not interfering with the pedals.
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
gear lever, because this pressure, even if light,
over time can wear out the gearbox inner
components.
REDUCING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimize pol-
luting emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (nitric oxide,
unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc…).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Service Plan”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly, at least once every four
weeks: excessively low pressure will increase fuel con-
sumption because rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. Do not travel with
too much luggage stowed in the boot. The weight of the
car (especially when driving in town) and its trim great-
ly affect fuel consumption and stability.
