DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque)
This system is built into the advanced ESP control unit
and provides steering corrections via the electric power
steering during driving. The system applies torque to the
steering wheel, increasing the feeling of safety, maintain-
ing control and reducing the impact of advanced ESP sys-
tem intervention.
Fault signalling
In the event of any operating faults occurring, the sys-
tem switches off automatically and the èwarning light is
lit up on the display together with a dedicated message.
In this case contact a Lancia Dealership.
SPORT FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle can be equipped with a system that allows you
to choose between two driving modes: normal and sport.
Press the SPORT button fig. 69 to set the sport driving
mode. This is characterised by increased acceleration re-
sponse and increased force required at the steering wheel
to obtain a more sporty drive.

When the function is active, “S” is displayed on the in-
strument panel. Press the button once again to deacti-
vate the function and return to the standard driving mode.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and caused by a system to prevent the mo-
tor from overheating. No servicing is required. The pow-
er steering system will return to normal operation the next
time the car is used.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.
Before servicing the car, switch off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition device to
activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels do not touch the
ground. If this is not possible (if the key must be on
MAR or the engine must be running), remove the
main fuse which protects the electric power steering.
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 reci-
procally incompatible.

REACTIVE SUSPENSION
SYSTEM
This system interacts with the Sport function (see chap-
ter “1” in “Sport function”).
The SPORT button, fig. 70, can be used to select two dri-
ving settings depending on the type of route and the road
surface:
– with the button released: “normal” mode;
– with the button pressed: SPORT mode.In the “normal” operating mode the active shock absorbers
regulate the vehicle damping, adapting it to the type of
road and the driving stressed considerably improving dri-
ving comfort especially on unmade roads.
When the SPORT function is activatee, the letter “S” is lit
up in the instrument panel. This function produces a sports
driving setting featuring greater responsiveness during ac-
celeration and a sports driving feeling with the steering,
as well as the regulation and distribution of the damping
at the shock absorbers guaranteeing greater vehicle pre-
cision and reaction, whilst maintaining a good level of
comfort. The driver will notice that the vehicle is more
precise when entering bends and quicker in changing di-
rection.

SWITCHING OFF THE SYSTEM
Manual method
The system can be deactivated by pressing button A-fig. 71
on the dashboard.
Confirmation of system deactivation is signalled by the
LED on the button going out and a message 1-fig. 72 ap-
pearing on the display.
Automatic method
The system can be deactivated automatically (if the sys-
tem is required it will therefore need to be reactivated).
The driver is advised that the system has been turned off au-
tomatically by three consecutive acoustic signals and the mes-
sage 1 – fig. 72 in the instrument panel display after the fol-
lowing situations:
❍the driver does not keep his hands on the steering wheel
(indication 2-fig. 72 is shown on the instrument pan-
el and a buzzer sounds until the driver places his hands
back on the wheel. This is considered a dangerous con-
dition and the system is automatically deactivated);
❍triggering of the vehicle safety systems (ABS, ESP,
ASR, DST and TTC);
❍the driver sets the sports driving pressing the SPORT
button (for versions/markets, where provided).
WARNING: the system cannot be activated if the driver
has previously selected the sport driving mode. The im-
possibility of using the system will be communicated to
the driver by three consecutive beeps and by the displayed
message 1 in fig. 72.SYSTEM FAILURE
In the event of a malfunction, the system reports the fault
via a message 3-fig. 72 appearing on the display and a
buzzer sounding.
IMPORTANT
The driving advisor is unable to operate following a malfunc-
tion in any of the following safety systems: ABS, ESP, ASR,
DST and TTC.
In the presence of indistinct, overlapping or
missing lane markings, the lane assistance
function is unable to aid the driver and the
system will be deactivated.
The driving advisor is not an automatic dri-
ving system and cannot replace the driver in
controlling the vehicle trajectory. The driver
is personally responsible for maintaining a suitable
level of concentration as traffic and road conditions
require, and for safely controlling the vehicle’s tra-
jectory.
The operation of the lane assistance function may be com-
promised by adverse visibility conditions (rain, fog, snow),
extreme lighting conditions (solar glare, darkness) or dirt
or damage, even partial, to the windscreen in the area
around the video camera.
The area of the windscreen by the TV camera should not
be partly or totally obscured by objects (e.g. stickers, pro-
tective film, etc.)
