❍a parking space more than about 130 cm longer than
the dimensions of the vehicle:parking can take place in
several manoeuvres of which only the first takes place with
automatic management of the steering (the subsequent ma-
noeuvres are entirely the responsibility of the driver).
To chose the side on which to search and carry out the ma-
noeuvre, the driver can;
1)
DChoose to carry out the search for the space and
the manoeuvre on the passenger side with:
❍the direction indicator in the middle position;
❍the hazard warning lights on;
❍the hazard warning lights on and the direction indi-
cator in the passenger side position;
❍the direction indicator pointing towards the passenger
side.
2)
FChoose to carry out the search for the space and
the manoeuvre on the driver’s side with:
❍the direction indicator in the driver’s side position;
❍the hazard warning lights on and the direction indi-
cator in the driver’s side position.
The system will notify the driver, on the side in which
the search and the manoeuvre are taking place by means
of dedicated messages in the instrument panel display and
the symbol (
Fand
D) different on the right and left sides. The search will, however, take place on both sides, there-
fore it is possible to make the selection using the direc-
tion indicators even when having just driven past a park-
ing space that is deemed suitable.
During the search stage the speed should be less than
around 30 km/h; if a speed of about 25 km/h is reached
the driver will be advised to decrease the speed, if a speed
of about 30 km/h is exceeded, the system will be deacti-
vated; in this case the system should be reactivated by
pressing button A-fig. 77.
If the Lane Change function is activated (see chapter 1
in the Exterior lights) the search for the parking space
always takes place on the passenger side.
If the parking sensors are activated during the search for
a parking space (see “Front and rear parking sensors”
chapter), the operation of the Magic Parking system is de-
activated.
The manoeuvres of searching for a parking
space and carrying out the parking manoeu-
vre should be carried out following the High-
way Code.

If the driver carries out a voluntary or involuntary action
on the steering during the parking manoeuvre (touching it
or preventing its movement), the manoeuvre will be in-
terrupted.
If the road surface is very uneven or there are obstacles un-
der the wheels affecting the movement of the vehicle, pre-
venting it from continuing along the correct trajectory, the
manoeuvre may be interrupted.
Conclusion of manoeuvre
If the size of parking space permits, the parking manoeu-
vre may be performed in one go, when reverse gear is re-
leased the wheels will be realigned and the manoeuvre will
be considered completed and the system will consequent-
ly be deactivated. If the size of the parking space is small-
er, it may take several manoeuvres, the driver will be ad-
vised to complete the parking manoeuvre manually via a
dedicated messages in the instrument panel display. General warnings
❍The ultimate responsibility when parking and carrying
out other dangerous manoeuvres always rests with the dri-
ver. Always make sure that there are no people, animals or
objects in the way when carrying out these manoeuvres.
The Magic Parking system (like parking sensors) is de-
signed to assist drivers: in all cases, you must always pay
the utmost attention during potentially dangerous ma-
noeuvres, even when these are carried out a low speed:
❍If the sensors are affected by impacts that alter their
position, the operation of the system may be greatly re-
duced.
❍If the sensors are dirty, covered in snow, ice, mud or
paint, the operation of the system could be greatly reduced.
❍It is vital that the sensors are always clean in order for
the system to work properly. Take great care when clean-
ing the sensors not to scratch or damage them; avoid us-
ing dry, rough or hard cloths. The sensors should be washed
with clean water with possibly some car shampoo added.
In washing stations, clean the sensors quickly, keeping the
steam jet/high pressure washing nozzles at least 10 cm
away from the sensors.
If you wish to stop the steering wheel with
your hands during a manoeuvre, it is advis-
able to handle it firmly on the outer rim. Do
not try and keep your hands on the inside or hold
the actual spokes.

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.

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.

GENERAL WARNINGS
If when turning the key to MAR the warning
light¬does not turn on or stays on during
car travel (together with the message on the
multifunctional display, where provided), a fail-
ure 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 deployed accidentally. Contact
a Lancia Dealership immediately to have the sys-
tem checked before driving off.
Do not cover the front seat backrest with covers if
a Side-bag is fitted.
Do not travel with objects in your lap, in front
of your chest, or between your lips (pipes,
pencils, etc.). In the event of crash with airbag
activation, you may be seriously injured.
Always drive keeping your hands on the
steering wheel crown so that, in the event of
airbag activation, it can inflate without find-
ing obstacles. Do not drive with your body bent for-
ward. Keep the backrest an upright position, cor-
rectly resting your back on it.
If someone tried to steal or damage your car,
and in the event of floods, have the air bag
system checked by a Lancia Dealership.
