GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The “GSI” system (Gear Shift Indicator) advises the dri-
ver to change gear via an indication on the instrument
panel (see fig. 6a).
Shifting when indicated by GSI will help the driver save
fuel.
When the SHIFT UP icon (NSHIFT) is shown on the
display, the GSI is advising the driver to select a higher
gear, while the SHIFT DOWN (OSHIFT) icon suggests
that a lower gear should be engaged.
NOTE The indication on the instrument panel remains
on until the driver changes gear or until the driving con-
ditions return to a situation where a gear change is not
required to reduce consumption.

ADVANCED ESP SYSTEM
(ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM)
This is an electronic car stability control system in the
event of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain directional
control.
The Advanced ESP system is therefore particularly use-
ful when road surface grip conditions change.
With the Advanced ESP system as well as the ASR (trac-
tion control with intervention on the brakes and the en-
gine) plus the HILL HOLDER (device for hill starts with-
out using the brakes) and also MSR (adjustment of engine
braking force with gear downshift), HBA (automatic in-
crease in braking pressure during emergency braking),
ABS (preventing the wheels from locking and slipping on
all road surfaces during sharp braking and DST (appli-
cation of force on the steering wheel for steering correc-
tion) functions are all available. SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light á
on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car
is in critical stability and grip conditions.
Switching the system on
The Advanced ESP system comes on automatically when
the vehicle is started and cannot be turned off.
Failure indications
In the event of a failure, the Advanced ESP system will
be automatically switched off and warning light áwill
appear constantly in the instrument panel along with
a message on the reconfigurable multifunction display.
The LED on the ASR OFF button will also light up (see
“Instrument panel warning lights” chapter). In this case,
go to a Lancia Dealership.
The performance of the Advanced ESP sys-
tem should not encourage the driver to take
unnecessary risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions, visibility
and traffic. The driver is ultimately responsible for
road safety.

182STARTING AND DRIVING
USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and shift
the gear lever into the required position (the gear diagram
varies according to the different versions and is shown on
the knob or on the plate below the lever fig. 2).
To engage 6t
hgear, operate the lever by pressing it to-
wards the right in order to avoid engaging 4thgear by
mistake. The same goes for changing from 6thto 5th.
IMPORTANT The car can only be put into reverse gear
when it has stopped moving completely. With the engine
running, wait at least 2 seconds before engaging reverse
gear with the clutch pressed down to the floor in order
to avoid damaging or grinding the gears.
fig. 2L0E0073m
To engage reverse gear R from neutral, raise ring A un-
der the knob and at the same time move the gear lever
to the left and then forwards.
In 1.6 Multijet version: to engage reverse R from neutral,
lift the sliding ring A under the knob and shift the lever
to the right and back.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should be used only to
change gear. Do not drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, however lightly. For versions/markets where
provided, the electronic clutch control could cut in, in-
terpreting the incorrect driving style as a fault.
Press the clutch pedal fully to change gears
correctly. For this reason, there must be no
obstacles on the floor under the pedals: en-
sure that rubber mats (if any) are lying flat and
do not interfere with the pedals.
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
gear lever, because this pressure, even if
light, over time can wear out the internal
gearbox components.
