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.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of
your car down and lower the amount
of toxic emissions released into the at-
mosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Service
schedule”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption
because rolling resistance will be
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
boot. The weight of the car (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affect consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These acces-
sories decrease aerodynamic penetra-
tion of the car and have a negative ef-
fect on consumption. It is better to use
a trailer to transport particularly
bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the
amount of time needed. Rear heated
window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, there-
fore increasing the requirement of
current increases fuel consumption
(up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires
higher fuel consumption (up to +20%
in average): use the air vents when the
external temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag
and consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the
car standing: the engine warms up
very slowly in these conditions, in-
creasing consumption and emissions.
It is advisable to start off immediately
and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much
faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at
traffic lights or before stopping the
engine. The latter action, like dou-
bling the clutch, is unnecessary and
causes increase of consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic
and road conditions allow. Using a
low gear for faster acceleration will in-
crease consumption.
In the same way improper use of a
high gear increases consumption,
emissions an engine wear.

STARTING
AND

Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably in-
creases as speed increases. Keep your
speed as even as possible, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration
which cause excessive fuel consump-
tion and increase emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very nega-
tive effect on consumptions and emis-
sions: accelerate gradually and do not
go over the maximum torque ratio.CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold
start-ups will prevent the engine from
reaching optimal running tempera-
ture. Consequently, both consumption
(from +15 to +30% on urban cycle )
and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when trav-
elling in a queue with frequent use of
low gears or in cities with many traf-
fic lights. Mountain and rough roads
also have a negative effect on con-
sumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be provided with a
type-approved tow hitch and ade-
quate electrical system to tow cara-
vans or trailers. Installation must be
performed by specialised personnel
who will issue the required papers for
travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
rear-view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtak-
ing takes longer depending on the
overall weight.
When driving downhill engage a low
gear, rather than constantly using the
brake.

The weight of the trailer on the car tow
hook reduces of the same value the load
capacity of the car. Consider the weight
of the car at full load, including acces-
sories and luggage to make sure you do
not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown on the log book).
Respect the speed limits specific for
each country for vehicles towing trail-
ers. In all cases, the top speed must
not exceed 100 km/h.
The ABS with which the
car is equipped will not
control the braking system of the
trailer. Take specific care when
travelling on slippery roads.
WARNING
Never modify the braking
system of the car to control
the trailer brake. The trailer brak-
ing system must be fully indepen-
dent from the hydraulic system of
the car.
WARNING
INSTALLING THE
TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or in-
tegrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current
regulations with reference to
94/20/EC Directive and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device
used must match the towable weight
of the car on which it is to be in-
stalled.
For the electric connection a unified
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing de-
vice, and a special ECU for external
trailer light control shall be installed
on the car. For the electrical connection, 7 or 13
pin 12VDC connection is to be used
(CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Stan-
dards). Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the car manufacturer and/or
the tow hitch manufacturer.
An electric brake should be supplied
directly by the battery through a ca-
ble with a cross section of no less than
2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other
device shall be used with running en-
gine.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the car’s electric system can only be
connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light, though not above 15W.
For connections use the preset control
unit with battery cable no less than
2.5 mm
2.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light ¬does not turn on or stays on during
car travel (together with the mes-
sage on the multifunctional dis-
play, where provided), a failure
may have occurred in the restraint
systems. In this case the airbags or
pretensioners may not be deployed
after an impact or, in a minor
number of cases, they may be de-
ployed accidentally. Contact Lan-
cia Dealership immediately to
have the system checked immedi-
ately.
The failure of the warning
light
¬is indicated by the
warning light flashing longer than
the expected 4 seconds“, thus sig-
nalling that the front passenger
airbag is deactivated. In addition,
the airbag system automatically
disables the airbag on the passen-
ger’s side (both front and side
airbags, where provided). In this
case, the warning light
¬does
not necessarily indicate a failure
in the restraining systems. Contact
Lancia Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
WARNING
WARNING
HOT ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after
a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the
engine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on, proceed
as follows:
❒during normal travel: stop the
car, stop the engine and check that
the water level in the vessel is not
under the MINline. If this is the
case, 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 MINandMAX
reference lines on the vessel. Also
check for leakages. Should the
warning light turn on again at the
next start-up, contact Lancia Deal-
ership.
u
❒If the vehicle is used under severe
conditions(e.g. towing of trailers
uphill or fully loaded vehicle): slow
down and stop the car if the warn-
ing light stays on. Stop for 2 or 3
minutes with the engine running
and slightly accelerated to favour
better coolant circulation. Then stop
the engine. Check correct fluid level
as described above.
IMPORTANT Under severe use of the
car, keep the engine on and slightly
accelerated for a few minutes before
switching it off.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
LOW BATTERY
CHARGE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go out as
soon as the engine is started (with the
engine running at idle speed a brief
delay in going out is allowed). If the
warning light stays on, immediately
contact Lancia Dealership.
