Anti-pinch safety device
The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch safety device
for the upwards motion of the windows.
This safety system is capable of recognizing the presence
of an obstacle whilst the window is closing; when this hap-
pens, the system stops the travel of the glass and, de-
pending on the position of the window, reverses its move-
ment.
This device is also useful when the windows are activat-
ed accidentally by children on board the vehicle.
The anti-pinch function is active both during manual and
automatic operation of the electric windows. Following
the intervention of the anti-pinch system, the window trav-
el is immediately interrupted and subsequently reversed
until the lower end of travel is reached. During this time
the window cannot be operated in any way.IMPORTANT If the anti-pinch protection intervenes 5
times consecutively within 1 minute or a system failure
is detected, the automatic window closing function is in-
hibited. The window can then only be operated in steps of
half a second and the button must be released following
each step.
One of the following manoeuvres must be carried out in
order to restore correct operation:
❍switch off and restart the engine;
❍fully lower the window concerned.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the
electric windows remain active for about 3 minutes and
are deactivated the moment a door is opened.

ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING THE CITY
FUNCTION fig. 74
Press button A to turn the function on/off.
When the function is active, the CITY warning light on
the instrument panel turns on.
With CITY function on, wheel effort is lighter, facilitat-
ing parking manoeuvres: the function is particularly help-
ful when driving in city centres.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the power steering is indicated by instru-
ment panel warning light gcoming on together with a
message on the reconfigurable multifunctional display. In
the event of electric power steering system failure, the
car can be driven with mechanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors independent
of the electric power steering could cause the illumination
of the gwarning light on the instrument panel.
In this case, stop the car immediately, switch off the en-
gine for about 20 seconds and then restart the engine. If
thegwarning light remains on, together with the mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multifunctional display, con-
tact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.

Under no circumstances should after-market
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device). This could nega-
tively affect performance and safety, cause the lapse
of the warranty and also result in vehicle non-com-
pliance with type-approval requirements.
On some versions, with the CITY function ac-
tivated, the SPORT function is not available.
To activate the SPORT function, deactivate the
CITY function and vice versa, because they are re-
ciprocally incompatible.

Identifying a parking space fig. 79
If the system identifies a suitable parking space between
two stationary vehicles or between other obstacles (e.g. ob-
jects with an extensive side surface such as vehicles, box-
es, etc.) it will signal that it has found a parking space that
can be entered. If the position reached is already suitable
at the beginning of the manoeuvre, the system will notify
the driver and engage reverse gear otherwise it will request
moving further forward.On the request to engage reverse gear the driver should sopt
the vehicle and engage reverse in order to confirm the wish
to start the manoeuvre; if the driver continues driving, af-
ter about 10 metres the system will no longer consider the
parking space identified and will start the search for an-
other suitable new space.
Manouevure
The driver will have control over the movements of the ve-
hicle using the accelerator, brake and clutch (only on ver-
sions with manual transmission) whilst the system will au-
tomatically manage the steering to enter the parking space
identified in the best possible way.
During the manoeuvre it will be possible to take advantage
of the information coming from the parking sensors (when
reversing it is advisable to reach the area where the rear
sensors provide a continuous tone signal), but it is always
advisable to keep an eye on the surrounding area.
The vehicle can be stopped during the manoeuvre and,
whilst remaining stationary, reverse gear can temporarily
be released (for example, to allow a pedestrian to go by in
the area of the manoeuvre).
The speed should be less than about 7 km/h during the
manoeuvre, otherwise the parking manoeuvre will be in-
terrupted.

The ultimate responsibility when parking
and carrying out other dangerous manoeu-
vres still rests with the driver. When parking, 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 always pay
the utmost attention during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even when carried out at low speed.
Version with 8 sensors
On the version with 4 front sensors and 4 rear sensors, the
system is activated when reverse gear is engaged or by
pressing the button fig. 8. If there has been a request to
activate the Magic Parking system, the front and rear sen-
sors are not automatically activated during the search for
a parking space, but can be activated by pressing the spe-
cial button (fig. 82) or by engaging reverse gear when
the speed is below around 15 km/h.
When reverse gear is released, the front and rear sensors
remain activated until a speed of around 15 km/h is ex-
ceeded to allow the parking manoeuvre to be completed.
The system can also be activated by pressing the button
fig. 82 in the centre panel: a warning light in the button
comes on when the system is activated.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing the button again
fig. 82 or when a speed of 15 km/h is exceeded: the warn-ing light in the button remains off when the system is not
activated.
When the sensors are activated, the system starts to pro-
duce acoustic signals from the front or rear buzzers as soon
as an obstacle is detected with the frequency increasing as
the obstacle gets closer.
When the obstacle is less than about 30 cm away, the
sound becomes continuous. Depending on the position of
the obstacle (in front or behind) the sound is produced by
the corresponding buzzers (front or rear). The obstacle
closest to the vehicle is signalled.
The acoustic signal stops immediately if the distance of
the obstacle increases. The sound cycle remains constant
if the distance measured by the centre sensors remains un-
changed, whilst if this situation occurs for the side sen-
sors, the signal is interrupted after about 3 seconds (for
example, to prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres
alongside walls).

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❍engage the handbrake;
❍put the gear lever into neutral;
❍press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touch-
ing the accelerator;
❍turn the ignition key to AVV and release it the moment
the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR the
Ywarning light
remains lit together with warning light U, turn the key
to STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light re-
mains lit, try with the other keys provided with the car.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.
PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❍engage the handbrake;
❍put the gear lever into neutral;
❍turn the ignition key to MAR: instrument panel warn-
ing lights
mandYwill light up;
❍wait for warning lights
Yandm, to turn off. The
hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;❍press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touch-
ing the accelerator;
❍turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as the
mwarn-
ing light goes out. Waiting too long will waste the work
done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
IMPORTANT When the engine is cold, the accelerator
pedal must be completely released when the key is turned
to AVV.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the
ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure. If,
when the ignition key is at MAR the
Ywarning light re-
mains lit, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if
the warning light remains lit, try with the other keys pro-
vided with the car. Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still
cannot start the engine.
Warning light mwill blink for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged cranking
to indicate a fault in the glow plug preheat-
ing system. Use the car normally if the engine starts
and contact the Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.

168STARTING UP AND DRIVING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, tow-
ing or driving downhill. This could cause a
flow of fuel into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER
IT HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❍drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
speed. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❍do not demand maximum performance for the first few
kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge starts
moving.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow the
engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off by letting
it idle to allow the temperature in the engine compartment
to fall.
A quick burst on the accelerator before turn-
ing off the engine serves absolutely no prac-
tical purpose, it wastes fuel and is damaging
especially to turbocharged engines.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the handbrake.
The car should be braked after a few snaps
of the lever, if it is not, contact a Lancia Deal-
ership to have it adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is engaged and the ignition key
is on MAR, the instrument panel warning light xwill
light.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
❍slightly lift the handbrake and press release button
A-fig. 1;
❍hold button A pressed and lower the lever. The x
warning light on the instrument panel will go out.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the car from moving accidentally.

PARKING THE CAR
Proceed as follows:
❍stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❍engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the car
is faced uphill or reverse if it is faced downhill) and
leave the wheels steered.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is further advisable
to block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the ignition key on MAR to prevent drain-
ing the battery. Always remove the key when you leave the
car.
Never leave children unattended in the car. Always remove
the ignition key when leaving the car and take it out with
you.

USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and shift
the gear lever into one of the required positions (the gear
diagram varies according to the different versions and is
shown on the knob or on the plate below the lever fig. 2).
To engage sixth gear, operate the lever by pressing it to-
wards the right in order to avoid engaging fourth gear by
mistake. Use the same action to pass from sixth to fifth
gear.
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be engaged when the car
is at a standstill. With the engine running, wait at least 2
seconds before engaging reverse gear with the clutch
pressed down to the floor in order to avoid damaging or
scraping the gears.
