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.
The system is completed by EBD
(Electronic Braking Force Distribu-
tion), which distributes the braking
action between front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To achieve maximum
efficiency of the braking system, a
running in period of about 500 km is
required: during this time, avoid sud-
den, repeated and prolonged braking.SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by
a slight pulsing of the brake pedal ac-
companied by noise: such an event in-
dicates that you need to adjust your
speed to the type of road on which
you are travelling.
When the ABS intervenes it means
that you are approaching the grip
limit between tyres and road: slow
down to exploit all the available grip.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
It is indicated by the turning on of
warning light >on the instrument
panel together with the message
(where provided) shown on the re-
configurable multifunctional display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In the case, the braking system will
work as normal without the extra po-
tentials offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.When the ABS intervenes
it means that you are ap-
proaching the grip limit between
tyres and road: it is necessary to
slow down to adjust the speed ac-
cording to available grip.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre
road grip to the full, but it
cannot improve it; you should
therefore exercise great caution
when driving on slippery surfaces
without taking unnecessary risks.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuous
diagnosis of the components of the car
correlated with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on
the warning light
Uon the instru-
ment panel (together with relevant
message on the multifunction display,
where provided) (see section “Warn-
ing lights and messages”), when these
components are no longer in peak
conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency un-
der control;
❒to warn when a fault causes emis-
sion levels to increase;
❒to signal the need to replace worn
components. EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turn-
ing on warning lights >andxon
the instrument panel, together with
the message (where provided) shown
on the multifunctional display (see
section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may sud-
denly lock and the car may swerve.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.
When the ABS intervenes,
a slight pulsing of the
brake pedal is felt. Do not lessen
the pressure of your foot on the
pedal; maintain pressure on the
brake without hesitation; this will
ensure that you stop in the shortest
possible space allowed by the road
conditions.
WARNING
If the warning lightxon
the instrument panel goes
on (and a message, were provided,
is shown in the multifunctional
display), stop the car immediately
and contact your nearest Lancia
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic
fluid from the braking system will
compromise functionality of the
braking system, either of the con-
ventional type or with ABS.

The system also has a diagnostic con-
nector that can be interfaced with ap-
propriate tools, which makes it possi-
ble to read the error codes stored in
the control unit, together with a series
of specific parameters for engine op-
eration and diagnosis. This check can
also be carried out by the traffic po-
lice.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the
problem, to check the system com-
pletely, Lancia Dealerships are obliged
to run a bench test and, if necessary,
road tests which may also call for a
long journey.Sound system installation

ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY
THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to
install electrical accessories that re-
quire a permanent electric supply
(sound system, satellite antitheft sys-
tem, etc.) or accessories that in any
case burden the electric supply, con-
tact a Lancia Dealership, whose qual-
ified personnel, besides suggesting the
most suitable devices belonging to
Lineaccessori Lancia, will also evalu-
ate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric
system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be in-
tegrated with a more powerful bat-
tery. SET-UP FOR MOBILE PHONE
(where provided)
The combined mobile phone and CD
or CD MP3 sound system set-up con-
sists of:
❒dual function antenna (sound sys-
tem + mobile telephone 900/1800
MHz), located on the roof of the
car;
❒connecting wires to the dual func-
tion antenna and wiring with 10-
way connector.
The connector is located between the
steering column and the central box.
The Customer is responsi-
ble for the purchasing of the
hands-free kit as it must be
compatible with his/her
own mobile phone. It is advisable to
install the microphone near to the
front light.
The maximum power ap-
plicable to the antenna is
20W.
WARNING
For the installation of the
mobile phone and its con-
nection to the set-up existing in the
car, contact a Lancia Dealership so
as to provide for any possible
problems that could damage the
safety of the car.
WARNING
Be very careful when fit-
ting non-standard addi-
tional spoilers, light alloy wheels
or wheel caps: they could reduce
brake ventilation and consequently
brake efficiency in the case of re-
peated, violent braking or on long
downhill roads. Ensure that noth-
ing (e.g. rubber mats) obstructs the
stroke of the pedals.

ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICE INSTALLATION
The electric/electronic devices in-
stalled subsequent to the purchase of
the car and included in the after-sales
service must be marked:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the in-
stallation of transceiver devices on
condition that such installations are
carried out in a workmanlike fashion,
following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, at a specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road in the event
of assembly of devices which imply
modifications to the features of the
car. This may also cause lapse of war-
ranty in relation to faults caused by
the change or either directly or indi-
rectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for
damage caused by the installation of
accessories either not supplied or rec-
ommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A.
and/or installed in compliance with
the provided instructions.“DUALDRIVE”
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electri-
cally controlled power steering system
called “Dualdrive” working only with
ignition key at MARand engine run-
ning, that can be customised by the
driver according to the driving condi-
tions.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To enable/disable the function, press
the button fig. 119located on the
central area of the instrument dash-
board.
The enabling of the function is sig-
nalled by the displaying of the word
CITY on the multifunctional display.
With CITY function on, wheel effort
is lighter, easing parking manoeuvres:
The function is particularly helpful
while driving in city centres. TRANSCEIVERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-
tacs mobile phones, HAM radio sys-
tems and the like) shall not be used
inside the car unless a separate aerial
is mounted on the roof.
The use of similar devices inside the
passenger compartment (without sep-
arate aerial) produces radio-frequency
electromagnetic fields which, ampli-
fied by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause
electrical systems equipping the car to
malfunction. This could compromise
safety in addition to constituting a po-
tential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and recep-
tion of these devices may be affected
by the shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly
comply with the instructions for use
provided by the mobile phone’s man-
ufacturer.

IMPORTANT When making ma-
noeuvres requiring maximum steering
efforts, the steering wheel may be-
come hard to turn; this is normal and
is due to the intervention of the steer-
ing control electric motor overheating
protection system. No repairs are,
therefore, required. The power steer-
ing system will return to normal op-
eration the next time the car is used.
fig. 119L0D0419m
Under no circumstances
should after-market oper-
ations involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out, because they could
badly affect performance and
safety, cause the lapse of the war-
ranty and also result in car non-
compliance with homologation re-
quirements.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the power steering is in-
dicated by instrument panel warning
light
gcoming on together with the
message on the multifunction display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In the event of a failure of the electric
power steering, the car continues in
any case to be manoeuvrable with
mechanical steering so that it can be
taken soon as possible to a Lancia
Dealership.
Before servicing the car,
switch off the engine and
remove the key from the ignition
device, activating the steering lock,
especially when car wheels do not
touch the ground. If this is not pos-
sible (if the key must be on MAR or
the engine must be running), re-
move the main fuse which protects
the electric power steering.

PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper and their function is to in-
form the driver, through an intermit-
tent buzzer, of the presence of obsta-
cles behind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically acti-
vated when the reverse gear is en-
gaged. As the distance from the ob-
stacle behind the car decreases, the
acoustic alarm becomes more fre-
quent.Detection distances
The central radius of action varies ac-
cording to the engine/ trim of the car:
The recognition area is equivalent to
140 cm, while for small obstacles (or
in the case of parking bollards which
have a rounded shape) it is equivalent
to 70 cm. The lateral radius of action
has a recognition area of 60 cm.
If several obstacles are detected, the
control unit indicates the nearest one.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
See “Warning lights and messages”
section.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The system is programmed to deacti-
vate automatically when the trailer
electric cable plug is fitted into the car
tow hook socket.
Sensors are reactivated on removing
the trailer cable plug. BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an
intermittent acoustic signal is auto-
matically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the reduction of
distance between the car and the
obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the dis-
tance between the car and the ob-
stacle is less than 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance in-
creases;
❒iremains constant if the distance
between vehicle and obstacle re-
mains unvaried; if this situation
concerns the side sensors, the
buzzer will stop after about 3 sec-
onds to avoid, for example, warn-
ing indications in the event of ma-
noeuvres along walls.

CAR REFUELLING
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the
fuel filler is too small to introduce the
beak of a leaded petrol pump. The
petrol octane rating (RON) must not
be lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst
leads to harmful exhaust emissions,
thus contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amounts or in an emer-
gency, as this would damage the cat-
alyst beyond repair. GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost
care to avoid obstacles that may
be located above or below the
sensors.
❒Objects located near the rear of
the car, under certain circum-
stances are not detected and could
therefore cause damage to the car
or be damaged.
❒Indications sent by the sensors
can be altered by dirt, snow or ice
deposited on the sensors or by ul-
trasound systems (e.g.: truck
pneumatic brakes or pneumatic
hammers) nearby the car. To guarantee the effective
operation of the system, the
sensors must be kept clean
at all times. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the sensors
while cleaning them. Avoid using
dry, rough or hard cloths. Clean the
sensors with clean water with the
addition of car shampoo if neces-
sary. At car wash centres that use
steam or high pressure water jets,
clean the sensors quickly keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away.
The driver is, however, al-
ways held responsible for
parking and other dangerous ma-
noeuvres. When carrying out this
manoeuvre, ensure that there are
no people, animals or object within
the manoeuvring area. Parking
sensors are designed to assist dri-
vers: in all cases, you must always
pay the utmost attention during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres.
