VERY IMPORTANT
REFUELLING
Petrol engines:refuel with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of 95 or higher only.
Multijet engines:only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse
of warranty in relation to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines:make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress
the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AV Vand release it as soon as the
engine has started.
Multijet engines:Turn the ignition key to MARand wait for the warning lights Yemto go out; turn
the ignition key AV Vand release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire risk.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with
emissions to ensure better respect for the environment.

Detection distances
The central range of action varies ac-
cording to the version: the range is
equal to 140 cm and to 70 cm for
small sized obstacles (or round park-
ing posts). The side action range is 60
cm.
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is con-
sidered.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
See the “Warning lights and mes-
sages” chapter.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The system is deactivated automati-
cally when the trailer electric cable
plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.
The sensors are automatically enabled
again when the trailer cable plug is re-
moved. 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 that 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance raises;
❒is constant if the distance is unvar-
ied; if this situation concerns the
side sensors, the buzzer will stop af-
ter about 3 seconds to avoid, for ex-
ample, warning indications in the
event of manoeuvres along walls.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost
care to obstacles that may be set
above or under the sensors.
❒Objects set close to the car, under
certain circumstances are not de-
tected and could therefore cause
damages to the car or be dam-
aged.
❒indications sent by the sensors can
be altered by dirt, snow or ice de-
posited on the sensors or by ultra-
sound systems (e.g.: truck pneu-
matic brakes or pneumatic ham-
mers) set nearby the car.

PARKING THE
VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒Stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
❒Engage a gear (on a slope, engage
first gear if the vehicle is faced up-
hill or reverse if it is faced down-
hill) 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. Avoid
parking for a long time with one
wheel on the pavement or steered
against the curb. Do not leave the key
in the ignition switch at MARto pre-
vent draining the battery. Always re-
move the key when you leave the car.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located be-
tween the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the
handbrake.
Four or five notches are normally suf-
ficient to lock the car on flat terrain,
while nine or ten may be necessary on
a steep slope with the car loaded. IMPORTANT If this is not the case,
contact Lancia Dealership to have the
handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled
up and the ignition key is at MAR, the
instrument panel warning light
xwill turn on.
Proceed as follows to release the
handbrake:
❒slightly lift the handbrake and
press release button A-fig. 1;
❒hold the button Apressed and
lower the lever; the warning light
xon the instrument panel will go
out.
Press the brake pedal when carrying
out this operation to prevent the car
from moving accidentally.
IMPORTANT if the handbrake lever
tends to reach end of stroke (groove
on the central tunnel), go to a Lancia
dealership to have the handbrake ad-
justed correctly.

Never leave children unat-
tended in the car. Always
remove the ignition key
when leaving the car and
take it out with you.

versions only) when a fault to one of
the following lights is detected:
– side/taillights
– brake lights (excluding third brake
light)
– rear fog lights
– direction indicators
– number plate lights.
The fault may be caused by: one or
more burnt lamps, a blow protection
fuse or interruption of the electrical
connection.
The display will show the dedicated

Obstructed particulate trap
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light turns on when the
diesel particulate trap is clogged and
the driving conditions do not enable
to activate automatically the regener-
ation procedure.

To allow the regeneration procedure,
keep the car running until the warn-
ing light turns off.
The display will show a dedicated

The warning light turns on when fail-
ure is detected in parking sensors. Go
to a Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.

FAILURE (amber)
Turning the key to MAR, the
warning light flashes once and then
goes off.
If with the ignition key at MAR, the
warning light stays on, this indicates
a possible failure (see “Lancia Code
system” in section “Dashboard and
controls”).
IMPORTANT The turning on at the
same time of the Uand
Ywarning
lights indicates a failure of the Lancia
CODE system.
If with the engine running the warn-
ing light
Yflashes, this means that
the car is not protected by the engine
immobilizer device (see “Lancia Code
system” in section “Dashboard and
controls”).
