RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile
phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be
used inside the car unless a separate aerial is
mounted externally.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external
aerial) may cause the electrical systems to
malfunction. This could compromise the safety of
the car in addition to constituting a potential
hazard for passengers' health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be affected by the shielding effect of
the car body. As far as the use of EC-approved
mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS),
follow the usage instructions provided by the
mobile phone manufacturer.
MAGIC PARKING(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Magic Parking system notifies the driver of a
free parallel parking space that is a suitable length
for the car; it helps the driver when manoeuvring
by automatically managing the movement of
the steering wheel.
During the manoeuvre the driver is also assisted
by information from the parking sensors (4 front
and 4 rear) which provide further distance
information when approaching obstacles in front
of and behind the car.
When looking for a parking space the front and
rear sensors are not activated (only the side
sensors are activated), whilst during the
manoeuvre, the front and rear sensors will be
automatically activated when reverse gear is
engaged.
WARNING
The ultimate responsibility when
parking, however,
always rests with
the driver. During the entire manoeuvre it is
always necessary to make sure that there
are no people or animals in the space.

AIRBAGThe car is fitted with front airbags for driver and
passenger, front side bags for driver and passenger
chest-shoulder protection (for versions/markets,
where provided), and window bags for protecting
the heads of front occupants.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front (driver and passenger) airbags protect
the front seat occupants in the event of head-on
impacts of medium-high severity, by placing
the bag between the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-deployment in other types of
impacts (side impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.)
does not indicate a system malfunction.
Front (driver and passenger) air bags are not a
replacement of but complementary to the seat
belts, which you are recommended to always wear,
as specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat
belt move forward and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in these
circumstances.Front air bags may not deploy in the following
situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformable
objects not involving the front surface of the car
(e.g. wing collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒car wedging under other vehicles or protective
barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they may not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their deployment
would be inappropriate. In these cases, non-
deployment does not indicate a system
malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering
wheel, on the
dashboard in the passenger side airbag area,
on side upholstery on roof and on the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger side of the dashboard since they
could interfere with correct inflation of
the passenger airbag and also cause serious
injury to the passengers.

IN AN EMERGENCY
In an emergency we recommend that you call the free-phone number found on the Warranty
Booklet. It is also possible to go to the www.lancia.com website to find the closest Lancia
Dealership.STARTING THE ENGINEGo to a Lancia Dealership immediately if
instrument panel warning light
remains on
constantly.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started
using an auxiliary battery with the same capacity
or a little higher than the flat one.To start the car proceed as follows:
❒connect the positive terminals (sign + near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead
fig. 110;
❒with a second lead, connect the negative
terminal – of the auxiliary battery to an
earthing point
on the engine or the gearbox of
the car to be started;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started, remove the
leads reversing the order above.
For versions with Start&Stop system, in case of
starting by auxiliary battery, refer to the
paragraph “Start&Stop system” in the chapter
“Getting to know your car”.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start,
do not persist but contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite
explosive gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another car,
prevent accidental contact between metallic parts
of the two cars.

Incorrect installation of electrical and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing
your car, if you wish to install any accessories
(car alarm, car phone etc.), contact a Lancia
Dealership, which will suggest the most
appropriate devices for your vehicle and will,
most importantly, advise you if a
higher-capacity battery needs to be installed.Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment.
For battery replacement, contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
If the car will be unused for an
extended period of
time in extremely
cold weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to avoid it
freezing.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate goggles
when working on
or near the battery.
WHEELS AND TYRESBefore long trips, and every two weeks, check the
tyre and space-saver wheel inflation pressure
(for versions/markets, where provided). Check the
tyres when cold.
While driving the car, the pressure increases under
standard conditions: for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig.
161:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn;
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the
edges;
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFELancia has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant
improvement of its production processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly "eco-
compatible". To assure customers of the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws
and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Lancia
is offering their customers the opportunity of handing over their vehicle (*) at the end of its life without
incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should
not incur any expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In all European Union
countries, until 1st January 2007, only vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 were collected free of
charge, while since 2007 collection has been free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long
as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no
additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go to one of our Lancia dealerships or
authorised collection and scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high
quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of unused vehicles with respect to the
environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Lancia
Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 526242 00 or on the Lancia website.

❒SYSTEM RESET Press the Menu button again
to exit the Menu function.
Note
The AF SWITCHING, TRAFFIC INFORMATION
and REGIONAL MODE adjustments are only
possible on FM.AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different modes in
the RDS system:
❒"AF Switching On": search for alternative
frequencies activated (the letters "AF" appear
on the display);
❒"AF Switching Off": search for alternative
frequencies not activated.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the
function:
❒press the MENU button and select “AF
Switching On”;
❒press the
or
buttons to activate/deactivate
the function.
With the function activated, the radio
automatically tunes into the station with the
strongest signal broadcasting the same
programme. While driving, the same station can
be continuously listened to without having to
change the frequency when you change zones.
Obviously, it must be possible to receive the station
that you are listening to, in the area you are
driving through.
If the AF function is activated, "AF" will light up
in the display.
276
SOUND-SYSTEM
If the AF function has been activated and the
radio is not able to receive the tuned station, the
radio activates the automatic search, during which
"FM Search" appears on the display (only for top
of the range radios).
With the AF function deactivated, the remaining
RDS functions, such as the display of the station
name, still remain active.
The AF function can only be activated on FM
bands.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION function
(traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2 and
FMA) can broadcast information about traffic
conditions.
In this case the text "TA" appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the TA
function:
❒press the MENU button briefly and select
“Traffic info”;
❒press the
or
buttons to activate/deactivate
the function.
❒If the TA function has been activated, the icon
“TA” lights up on the display.Note
If the TA function is activated with an audio
source other than Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3,
telephone or Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out
an automatic search and therefore it is possible,
when reactivating the Tuner (Radio) source, that
the frequency tuned into is different from the one
previously set.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that broadcast in
FM and are enabled to broadcast traffic
information;
❒receive traffic information even when the CD
player is in operation;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum preset
volume even with the radio volume off.
Note
In some countries there are radio stations that,
even with the TP function activated, do not
transmit traffic information (the icon "TP"
appears on the display).
If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM band,
when TA is activated it will tune to the last
selected station in the FM1 band.
The volume at which the traffic news is
transmitted depends on the listening volume:
❒listening volume below 5: traffic news volume 5
(fixed value);
