❍The indications sent by the sensor can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic devices (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems or pneumatic drills) near the car.
❍Parking sensor system performance can also be in-
fluenced by the position of the sensors, for example
due to a change in the ride setting (caused by wear
to the shock absorbers, suspension), or by overload-
ing the vehicle and carrying out specific tuning oper-
ations that require the vehicle to be lowered. Parking manoeuvres however are always
the driver’s responsibility. While manoeu-
vring, always make sure that no-one is in
the area concerned (especially children) or ani-
mals. The parking sensors are designed to assist
drivers: in any case, you must always pay the ut-
most attention during potentially dangerous ma-
noeuvres, even when carried out at low speed.

❍Identification: if the system identifies a free park-
ing space that is a suitable size for the vehicle, it signals
its presence and indicates the actions required for start-
ing the manoeuvre.
❍Manoeuvre: the driver is asked to engage reverse gear
and release the steering wheel and manage the accelera-
tor, brake and clutch (in the case of manual gearbox) or
accelerator and brake (in the case of automatic gearbox).
During the reverse parking manoeuvre, the system man-
ages the steering wheel automatically.
It suggests that the manoeuvre be concluded in reverse
gear (if the conditions permit) when the continuous
sound of the buzzer for the rear sensors is heard.
IMPORTANT The MANOEUVRE stage in the system
logic is deactivated after about 3 mins if the parking ma-
noeuvre has not been completed.❍Manoeuvre end: if the parking space is sufficient, the
parking manoeuvre is completed by the system is a sin-
gle movement; the further intervention of the driver is not
required to position the vehicle. If further corrective ma-
noeuvres are required, the system gives back control to
the driver who must complete parking manually.
IMPORTANT Steering will be realigned after reversing
when reverse gear is disengaged. The driver must com-
plete the manoeuvre manually.
The operation of the parking assistance is
based on different components:
❍front and rear parking sensors;
❍side sensors;
❍steering;
❍wheels and braking system;
❍instrument panel.
It is necessary to bear in mind that a malfunction
in one of these systems could compromise the op-
eration of the Magic Parking system.

Identifying a parking space fig. 84
If the system identifies a suitable parking space between
two stationary vehicles or between other obstacles (e.g.
objects with an extensive side surface such as vehicles,
boxes, etc.) it will signal that it has found a parking space
that can be entered. If the position reached is already suit-
able at the beginning of the manoeuvre, the system will
advise the driver to engage reverse gear, otherwise it will
request moving further forward.On the request to engage reverse gear the driver should
stop the vehicle and engage reverse in order to confirm
the wish to start the manoeuvre; if the driver continues
driving, after about 10 metres the system will no longer
consider the parking space identified and will start the
search for new suitable space.
Manoeuvre
The driver will have control over the movements of the
vehicle using the accelerator, brake and clutch (only on
versions with manual gearbox) whilst the system will au-
tomatically manage the steering to enter the parking
space identified in the best possible way.
During the manoeuvre it will be possible to take advan-
tage of the information coming from the parking sensors
(when reversing it is advisable to reach the area where the
rear sensors provide a continuous tone signal), but it is
always advisable to keep an eye on the surrounding area.
The vehicle can be stopped during the manoeuvre and,
whilst remaining stationary, reverse gear can temporar-
ily be released (for example, to allow a pedestrian to go
by in the area of the manoeuvre).
The speed should be less than about 7 km/h during the
manoeuvre, otherwise the parking manoeuvre will be in-
terrupted.

❍Ultrasound source (e.g. pneumatic brakes of trucks or
air drills) nearby could negatively influence the sensor
performance.
❍Sensors may detect a non-existent obstacle (echo in-
terference) due to mechanical interference, for example
while washing the car, rain, strong wind, hail.
❍The sensors might not detect objects of a particular
shape or made from particular materials (very thin poles,
trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes, parking deterrents,
rubbish bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
to check that the vehicle and its path are effectively com-
patible with the parking area identified by the system.
❍The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a different
size to those present when the vehicle was purchased
could affect the operation of the system.
❍If the battery is disconnected or very run down, be-
fore the Magic Parking system is available it is necessary
to drive a few hundred metres, not in a straight line, to
initialise the system.
❍If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly inserted)
the Magic Parking system will automatically be disabled.
❍If the Magic Parking system is in “search in progress”
mode, the system could incorrectly identify a parking
space and carry out the manoeuvre (e.g. by a junction,
carriage track, roads crossing the direction of travel, etc.).❍In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a gra-
dient, the performance of the system could be inferior and
it may deactivate.
❍If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out between
two vehicles parked on the pavement, the Magic Park-
ing system may cause the vehicle to mount the pavement.
❍Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not be car-
ried out.
❍Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if there are
persons and/or animals in the parking area, moving ve-
hicles, etc.) and intervene immediately if necessary.
❍During parking manoeuvres, pay special attention to
vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Always
follow the Highway Code.

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.
