REACTIVE SUSPENSION
SYSTEM (active shock
absorber system)
This system interacts with the Sport function (see “Sport
function” paragraph).
The SPORT button, fig. 70, allows you to choose between
two different driving settings depending on the route type
and on the road surface:
– with the button released: “normal” mode
– with the button pressed: “SPORT” mode.In “normal” operating mode, active shock absorbers ad-
just car suspensions, adapting them to the type of road
and to the driving stresses, improving driving comfort in
particular on rough terrain.
In “SPORT” operating mode, the letter “S” is lit up on
the instrument panel display. This function produces
a sports driving setting featuring greater responsiveness
during acceleration and a sports driving feeling with the
steering, as well as the regulation and distribution of the
damping at the shock absorbers guaranteeing greater ve-
hicle precision and reaction, whilst maintaining a good
level of comfort. The driver will notice that the vehicle
is more precise when cornering and quicker in changing
direction.

❍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.

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.

242SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the space-saver
wheel, approximately every two weeks and before long
journeys: the pressure should be checked with the tyre
rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase as the car is used;
see the “Wheels” paragraph in chapter “6” for the cor-
rect tyre inflation pressure.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 5:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than
1.6 mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in force in
the country where you are driving.
fig. 5L0E0096m
IMPORTANT NOTES
❍Where possible, avoid braking suddenly, wheel-spin-
ning and crashing into curbs, potholes or other ob-
stacles. Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads
can damage the tyres;
❍check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling
or irregular tread wear. Go to a Lancia Dealership
if required.
❍avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may
cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❍if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and change
it to avoid damage to the tyre, wheel rim, suspension
and steering system;
❍the tyre ages even if rarely used. Cracks in the tread
and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the
tyres checked by skilled personnel if they have been
fitted for longer than six years. Remember to check
the space-saver wheel very carefully;
