Failure indications
System failure is indicated by warning light
álighting
up in the instrument panel together with a dedicated mes-
sage appearing in the reconfigurable multifunction dis-
play; see “Instrument panel warning lights” chapter.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake; therefore, never leave the car without having en-
gaged the handbrake, turned the engine off and engaged
first gear.
The Advanced ESP system continues to oper-
ate if the space-saver wheel is fitted. Always
remember that the space-saver wheel, being
smaller than the original wheel provides less grip.
For the correct operation of the Advanced ESP and
ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be the same
make and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions
and, above all, of the type, make and size specified.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the Advanced ESP system and
automatically cuts in in the following conditions:
❍uphill: car at a standstill on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake
pedal pressed, gearbox in neutral or engaged gear
other than reverse.
❍downhill: car at a standstill on a road with a gradi-
ent higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake
pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.
When setting off, the Advanced ESP system control unit
will keep braking pressure on the wheels until reaching
the required power for starting or, in any case, for a max-
imum of 2 seconds in order to move the right foot from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal easily.
When two seconds have elapsed, without starting, the
system is automatically deactivated, gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this release stage, the typi-
cal mechanical brake release noise can be heard, indi-
cating that the car is about to move.

SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has come into action
because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier: it means that the vehicle speed should be al-
tered to suit the type of road surface.FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
This is signalled by the >warning light in the instru-
ment panel coming on together with a message in the re-
configurable multifunction display. In this case, the brak-
ing system will still be effective, although without the
extra capacity offered by the ABS system. Drive carefully
to the nearest Lancia Dealership to have the system
checked.
EBD failure
This is signalled by the >andxwarning lights on the
instrument panel coming on, together with a message on
the reconfigurable multifunction display. In this case, the
rear wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may
swerve when braking sharply. Drive very carefully to the
nearest Lancia Dealership to have the system checked.
When the ABS cuts in and you feel the brake
pedal pulsating, do not release the pressure,
but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop
in the shortest amount of space possible depend-
ing on the current road conditions.
If the ABS system cuts in, it means that the
grip between the tyre and the road surface is
close to its limit: you must slow down to
match the speed to the road grip available. The
ABS make the best use of the available grip but
cannot increase it.
You should always drive carefully on slip-
pery surfaces and avoid any unnecessary
risks.
If only warning light xon the instrument
panel comes on, with a message in the re-
configurable multifunction display, stop the
car immediately and contact the nearest Lancia
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic fluid from the
braking system will compromise the operation of
the braking system, whether it is of the conven-
tional type or with ABS.

122KNOWING YOUR CAR
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) car-
ries out a continuous diagnosis of the components of the
car related to emissions. It also alerts the driver, by turn-
ing on the
Uwarning light in the instrument panel to-
gether with a message in the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display, when these components are no longer in
peak condition (see “Instrument panel warning lights”
chapter).
The goal of the system is to:
❍to keep system efficiency under control;
❍to signal a fault which causes emission levels to in-
crease;
❍to signal the need to replace deteriorated components.
The system also has a diagnosis connector that can be in-
terfaced to suitable instruments, to read the error codes
stored in the control unit together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by traffic control au-
thorities.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the problem, to check the
system completely, Lancia Dealerships run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long
journey.
Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible if warning light
Ueither does not light
up when the key is turned to MAR–ON or if,
while travelling, the warning light comes on either
steadily or flashing (along with a message in the
reconfigurable multifunction display). The oper-
ation of the warning light
Umay be checked by the
traffic control authorities using specific devices.
Always comply with the traffic regulations in force
in the country where you are driving.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
THIS is an electrically controlled power steering system
called “Dualdrive”. It is only operational with the igni-
tion key turned to MAR–ON and the engine running; it
can be customised by the driver according to the driving
conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key quickly,
complete power steering functionality may be achieved
after 1-2 seconds.

SENSORS
While searching for a parking place, the system uses side
sensors (see fig. 81).
These sensors are automatically activated below around
30 km/h; during this stage if the driver has just passed
a space that might be useful for a manoeuvre, the func-
tion can be requested using the special button; at this
point the instructions for carrying out the manoeuvre will
be shown on the display. If the function is not requested
by the driver using the special button, no information will
be displayed on the instrument panel.OPERATION
The assisted parking manoeuvre can only be activated
with the instrument panel on and at speeds below about
30 km/h and is divided into the following stages:
❍Activation: pressing the button fig. 82 activates the
search stage.
❍Search: through side sensors, the system continuously
searches for a free parking space, suitable to the vehicle
dimensions. The driver determines on which side of the
road they intend to park using the direction indicators (if
no information is available from the direction indicators
or hazard warning lights, the search takes place on the
passenger side).
IMPORTANT The SEARCH stage in the system logic is
deactivated after about 10 mins if a suitable parking
space is not identified.

❍parking space longer than 130 cm compared to the
vehicle dimensions:parking in more than one manoeu-
vre, where only the first one can be carried out by auto-
matic steering management (the subsequent manoeuvres
are entirely the responsibility of the driver).
To select the search and manoeuvring side, the driver
must:
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 passen-
ger 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 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 step, speed should not exceed 30 km/h;
when 25 km/h have been reached, the driver is asked to
decrease the speed; if the speed of 30 km/h is exceeded,
the system is disabled; in this case, the system must be
restarted by pressing the button A-fig. 82.
If the Lane crossing function is activated (see “Exterior
lights” paragraph) the search for the parking space al-
ways 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”
paragraph), the operation of the Magic Parking system is
deactivated.
The search for the parking space and the
parking manoeuvres must be made in com-
pliance with the regulations in force of the
Highway Code.

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.

STARTING AND DRIVING173
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 turned to MAR, the instru-
ment panel warning light
Yremains on together with
warning light U, turn the key to STOP and then back to
MAR; if the warning light remains on, try the other keys
provided with the vehicle.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❍engage the handbrake;
❍put the gear lever into neutral;
❍turn the ignition key to MAR: the warning lights
mandYon the instrument panel will turn on;
❍wait for the warning lights
Yandmto turn off.
The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;
❍fully depress the clutch pedal without operating the
accelerator;
❍turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning light
mgoes out. Waiting too long will waste the work
done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.IMPORTANT With the engine cold, the accelerator pedal
must be fully released when you turn the ignition key to
AV V.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the
ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure. If
instrument panel warning light
Yremains lit when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, turn the key to STOP and
then back to MAR; if the warning light remains lit, try the
other keys provided with the vehicle. Contact a Lancia
Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.
Warning light mwill flash for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged cranking
to indicate a fault with the glow plug heat-
ing system. You can use the car as usual if the en-
gine starts but you should contact a Lancia Deal-
ership as soon as possible.

REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car may be originally fitted with a space-saver wheel
(for versions/markets, where provided).
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel call for some precautions as listed below.
The space-saver wheel (for versions/mar kets
where provided) is specific to your car, do not
use it on other models, or use the spare wheel
of other models on your car. The space-saver wheel
must only be used in case of emergency. Never use
it for more than strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h. On the space-saver wheel there is an or-
ange label, summarising the main warnings re-
garding space-saver wheel usage restrictions.
Never remove or cover the label. Never ap-
ply a hub cup on a space-saver wheel. The
following information is provided in four
languages on the label: IMPORTANT! FOR TEM-
PORARY USE ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX.! REPLACE
WITH STANDARD WHEEL AS SOON AS POS-
SIBLE. DO NOT COVER THIS LABEL.
If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead
of steel rims) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized
bolts.
Alert other drivers that the car is stationary
in compliance with local regulations: haz-
ard warning lights, warning triangle, etc.
Any passengers on board should leave the car, es-
pecially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should
stay away from on-coming traffic while the wheel
is being changed. If parked on a slope or rough sur-
face, chock the wheels with wedges or other suit-
able devices.
