KNOWING YOUR CAR141
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. 87. If there has been a request
to activate the Magic Parking function, the front and rear
sensors are not automatically activated during the search
for a parking space, but can be activated by pressing the
special button (fig. 87) 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. 87 in the central panel: a warning light in the but-
ton comes on when the system is activated.The sensors are deactivated by pressing the button again
fig. 87 or when a speed of 15 km/h is exceeded: the
warning light in the button is off when the system is not
active.
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 in-
creasing 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 obsta-
cle 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
unchanged, 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).

The responsibility for parking and other
dangerous manoeuvres always and in every
case lies with the driver. While manoeu-
vring, always make sure that no-one is in the area
concerned (especially children) or animals. The
parking sensors are designed to assist drivers: in
any case, you must always pay the utmost atten-
tion during potentially dangerous manoeuvres,
even when carried out at low speed.

142KNOWING YOUR CAR
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
The information concerning the presence and distance of
an obstacle from the vehicle is transmitted by means of
acoustic signals from 2 buzzers installed in the passenger
compartment:
❍a front buzzer warns of the presence of obstacles at
the front and a buzzer located at the rear warns of the
presence of obstacles at the rear. This notifies the driver
of the direction (front/rear) of the obstacles.
Operation is automatically activated when reverse gear
is engaged.
The acoustic signal:
❍increases as the distance between the car and the ob-
stacle decreases;
❍becomes continuous when the distance between the
car and the obstacle is less than around 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance increases;
❍is constant if the distance is unvaried; if this situa-
tion occurs for the side sensors, the indication will stop
after about 3 seconds to avoid, for example, warning in-
dications in the event of manoeuvres alongside walls.The sensor must be clean of mud, dirt, snow
or ice in order for the system to operate cor-
rectly. Be careful not to scratch or damage the
sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough
or hard cloths. The sensors should be washed using
clean water with the addition of car shampoo if nec-
essary. When using special washing equipment such
as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean the
sensors very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
Only have the bumpers repainted or any re-
touches to the paintwork in the area of the
sensors carried out by a Lancia Dealership.
If the paint is incorrectly applied this could ad-
versely affect the operation of the parking sensors.
SENSOR OPERATING RANGE
The sensors allow the system to check the front part (ver-
sion with 8 sensors) and rear part of the vehicle.
Their position covers the middle and side areas of the
front and rear of the vehicle.
If an obstacle is located in a middle area, it is detected
when the distance is less than about 0.9 m (front) and
1.30 m (rear).

KNOWING YOUR CAR143
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’s electric plug is inserted in the car’s tow
hook socket. The sensors are automatically enabled again
when the trailer’s 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 Dealer-
ship 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 while reverse is engaged.
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost attention to
any obstacles that could be located above or below the
sensors.
Under certain circumstances close objects located in front
of or behind the vehicle may not be detected and could
therefore cause damage to the vehicle or be damaged
themselves.The following conditions may influence the performance
of the parking sensor system:
❍Reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the
parking assistance system performance could be due to
the presence on the surface of the sensors of: ice, snow,
mud, thick paint.
❍The sensors detect a non-existent obstacle (echo in-
terference) due to mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle, rain (strong wind), hail.
❍The indications sent by the sensors can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic 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
example, 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 to the upper part of the ve-
hicle is not guaranteed as the system is designed to detect
obstacles that could impact the lower part of the vehicle.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for reducing petrol fuel
engine emissions:
❍three-way catalytic converter;
❍oxygen 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 following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions:
❍oxidizing catalytic converter;
❍exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.)
❍diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/markets
where provided).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-
ticulates present in the exhaust gases of diesel engines. The
diesel particulate filter has been adopted to eliminate al-
most all particulates in compliance with current/future le-
gal regulations. During normal use of the vehicle, the en-
gine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time,
type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate
how much particulate has been 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
automatically by the engine management control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and vehicle use conditions.
There may be a limited increase in the engine idle speed
during the regeneration, a limited increase in fumes and
high temperatures at the exhaust. These are not faults;
they do not impair vehicle performance or damage the en-
vironment. If the dedicated message is displayed, refer
to the “Panel warning lights” paragraph in this chapter.
The catalytic converter develops high tem-
perature during operation. Do not park the
car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.
