“Dualdrive” electric steering engagement
The warning light comes on (or the word
“CITY” appears on the display) when the
“Dual drive” electric power steering system is ac-
tivated by pressing the relevant control button. Pressing
the button again causes the “CITY” indication to go off.

Excessive engine coolant temperature
(red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out after
a few seconds. The warning light turns on when the en-
gine is overheated. If the warning light comes on, pro-
ceed as follows:
during normal travel: stop the car, stop the engine and
check that the water level in the reservoir is not un-
der the MIN line. If it is, wait for a few minutes for
the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open
the cap, top-up with coolant and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX references on the reser-
voir. Also check for leaks. Should the warning light
turn on again at the next start-up, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
u
If the vehicle is used under harsh conditions (e.g. tow-
ing of trailers uphill or fully loaded vehicle): slow down
and stop the car if the warning light stays on. Stop
for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slight-
ly accelerated to favour better coolant circulation. Then
stop the engine. Check correct liquid level as described
above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Doors not closed correctly (red)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
lights up when one or more doors are not closed
correctly. A buzzer will sound when doors are
open and the car is moving. On the multifunctional dis-
play, the warning light also comes on when the bonnet
and/or tailgate are not closed correctly. The display will
show a dedicated message.

IMPORTANT The engine inhibitor function is guaranteed
by the Lancia CODE, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is extracted from the starter de-
vice.
SWITCHING ON THE ALARM
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with the
remote control towards the vehicle and press and release
button
Á.
Excluding some versions for specific markets, the system
produces an acoustic warning (beep) and enables door
locking.
Before the alarm is enabled, a self-diagnosis test is run:
if a fault is detected, the system emits another sound warn-
ing and a message is shown on the display, (see “Instru-
ment panel warning lights”).
In this case switch off the alarm by pressing
Ë, check that
all the doors, bonnet and tailgate are closed correctly; then
switch the alarm back on by pressing
Á.
If a door or the bonnet is not correctly closed, it will be ex-
cluded from the testing by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the
doors, bonnet and tailgate are correctly closed, a failure
has occurred in system operation. Contact a Lancia Deal-
ership.IMPORTANT Centrally locking the doors using the met-
al insert on the key does not activate the alarm.
IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is configured in com-
pliance with the regulations existing in the different coun-
tries.
SWITCHING OFF THE ALARM
Press button
Ëon the key with the remote control.
The following operations are performed (excluding some
versions for specific markets):
the direction indicators flash twice;
two brief acoustic signals are emitted (“BEEP”);
the doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is re-
leased using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not
disabled.

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.)
120GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
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.

The rear seat belts must be used as shown in the diagram
in fig. 2.
IMPORTANT After putting the seats back in their travel
position, restore the seat belt position to make them ready
for use.
IMPORTANT If the rear seat is being moved and this cau-
ses the middle seat belt to lock temporarily, normal con-
ditions can be restored by simply moving the seat towards
the back of the car.
