2010 Lancia Delta instrument panel

136GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
If the obstacle is located at the side, it is detected at dis-
tances of less than 0.6 m.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is automatically deactivated
when the trailer electric plug is inserted in the car tow hook
socket. The sensors are automatically enabled again when
the trailer cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook fitted when
there is no trailer, it is advisable to go to a Lancia Deal-
ership to have the system updated because the tow hook
could be detected as an obstacle by the centre sensors.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Either symbol
S(if the Magic Parking system is fitted),
or symbol
t(if the Magic Parking is not fitted) will light
up on the display in combination with a message or with
instrument panel warning light
èif parking sensor faults
are detected.
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost attention to
any obstacles that could be located above or below the sen-
sors.
Under certain circumstances objects located in front of
or behind the vehicle may not be detected and could there-
fore cause damage to the vehicle or be damaged them-
selves.The following conditions may influence the performance
of the parking sensor system:
❍Reduced sensor sensitivity and reduced parking aid
system performance could be caused by the presence of
the following on the surface of the sensors: ice, snow, mud,
multiple layers of paint.
❍The sensors detect objects that are not there (“echo dis-
turbance”) caused by mechanical disturbances, for ex-
ample: washing the car, rain (extreme wind conditions),
hail.
❍The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered by
the presence of ultrasound devices (e.g. pneumatic brake
systems or pneumatic drills) near the car.
❍The performance of the parking assistance system may
also be affected by the position of the sensors. For ex-
ample, if the geometry is altered (as a result of wear of the
shock absorbers, suspension) or the tyres are changed, the
vehicle is too heavily laden, specific tuning is carried out
that lowers the vehicle.
❍The detection of obstacles at the top part of the vehi-
cle may not be guaranteed because the system detects ob-
stacles that could cause an impact with the vehicle in the
bottom part.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for reducing petrol engine emissions are the
following:
❍three-way catalytic converter;
❍Lambda sensors;
❍fuel evaporation control system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with
one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The devices for reducing diesel fuel engine emissions are
the following:
❍oxidising catalytic converter;
❍exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.).
❍diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/markets,
where provided).
The catalytic converter reaches high temper-
atures during operation. Do not park on
grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flam-
mable material: fire risk.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, inte-
gral with the exhaust system, that physically traps par-
ticulate present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines. The
diesel particular filter has been adopted to almost totally
eliminate particulate in compliance with current / future
regulations. During normal use of the car, the engine man-
agement control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time,
type of route, temperatures reached, etc.) and it will then
calculate the amount of particulate trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning car-
bon particles. The regeneration procedure is controlled au-
tomatically by the engine management control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and car use conditions. Dur-
ing the regeneration procedure, the following situations
may occur: limited increase of idle speed, activation of
electric fan, limited increase of smoke, high temperatures
at the exhaust. These are not faults; they do not impair
car performance or damage the environment. If the ded-
icated warning message is displayed, refer to the section
“Instrument panel warning lights” in this chapter.

160SAFETY
DRIVER’S KNEE AIR BAG fig, 9
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This consists of an instant-inflating cushion housed into
a special compartment provided for the purpose under the
lower steering column guard at driver’s knee level. It is de-
signed to give further protection in the event of frontal
crash.MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER’S
FRONT AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat, the passenger’s front air bag and the Side Bag
can be deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
“will stay on glow-
ing steadily until the passenger’s front air bag and the Side
Bag is reactivated.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the passenger’s front
air bag and the Side Bag (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided), refer to paragraphs “Multifunctional display” and
“Reconfigurable multifunctional display” in section “Get-
ting to know your car”.
SEVERE DANGER: Do not arrange child
seats facing backwards if the passenger’s
front airbag is on. Deployment of the airbag
in an accident could cause fatal injuries to
the baby. Always deactivate the passenger’s
airbag when placing a child seat on the front seat.
Move the passenger’s seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the child seat and the dash-
board. Although this is not mandatory by law, the
airbag should be immediately reactivated when
children are no longer carried to ensure better pro-
tection to adults.

STARTING UP AND DRIVING167
3
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.
