FUEL CUT OFF
SWITCH
The switch is located on the bottom of
the car, near the pillar on passenger
side. Move the carpet aside to reach
the switch. It is tipped by a crash and
cuts off the fuel feed, thus stopping
the engine.
When the device is activated the
warning light
èturns on together
with the relevant message on the re-
configurable multifunctional display
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided).
Inspect the car carefully for fuel leak-
ages (e.g. in the engine compart-
ment), under the car or near the fuel
tank.
If, after a crash, you smell
fuel or see leaks from the
fuel system, do not reset the switch
to avoid fine risk.
WARNING
fig. 81L0D0388m
Press button A-fig. 81to reactivate
the fuel feed system if no leakage is
found and the car is worthy of re-
suming travel.
After the accident, remember to turn
the ignition key to STOPto prevent
draining the battery.
SUN VISORS
These are arranged at the sides of the
internal rearview mirror. They may be
oriented frontally and to the side.
A courtesy mirror can be applied to
the back of sun visors, according to
the version.
To use the mirror, open the sliding
flapA-fig. 96(for versions/markets,
where provided).
SUNROOF
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the pres-
ence of an object whilst the roof is
closing; when this happens the system
stops and the glass travel is immedi-
ately reversed. The large “Skydome”
sunroof consists of two glass panels,
one fixed and one mobile, with sun
curtains which can be opened and
closed manually. The sun roof can
only be operated with the ignition key
in the MARposition. The button near
the front ceiling lights is used to open
and close the roof.
To o p e n
Hold button B-fig. 97pressed: the
front glass panel will go to spoiler po-
sition. Hold Bpressed again for longer
than half a second to move the roof
automatically to end of travel posi-
tion. Press the button again to stop
the roof in an intermediate position.

It is advisable to use the
sunroof in the spoiler posi-
tion only if a crosswise roof
rack is used.
Do not open the sun roof in
the presence of snow or ice:
it may be damaged.
When leaving the car, al-
ways remove the key from
the ignition device to avoid the risk
of injury due to accidental opera-
tion of the sun roof; it presents a
risk to those left on board: im-
proper use of the roof can be dan-
gerous. Before operation, always
check that no-one is at risk of be-
ing injured by the moving sun roof
or by objects getting caught and
dragged by it.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuous
diagnosis of the components of the car
correlated with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on
the warning light
Uon the instru-
ment panel (together with relevant
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”), when these condi-
tions are no longer in peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒warn when a fault causes emissions
levels to increase;
❒to signal the need to replace deteri-
orated components. In this case, the rear wheels may sud-
denly lock and the car may swerve.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.The system also has a diagnostic con-
nector that can be interfaced with ap-
propriate tools, which makes it possi-
ble to read the error codes stored in
the control unit, together with a series
of specific parameters for engine op-
eration and diagnosis. This check can
also be carried out by the traffic po-
lice.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the
inconvenience, to check the system
completely, Lancia Dealerships are
obliged to run a bench test and, if
necessary, road tests which may also
call for a long journey.
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal
pulsating, do not remove your foot,
but keep it pressed; in doing so you
will stop in the shortest amount of
space possible under the current
road conditions.
WARNING
If warning light xonly
lights up on the instrument
panel (with a message on the mul-
tifunctional display, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided),
stop the car immediately and go to
the nearest Lancia Dealership.
Leakage of hydraulic fluid from
the braking system will compro-
mise functionality of the braking
system, either of the conventional
type or with ABS.
WARNING
Go to a Lancia Dealership
as soon as possible if warn-
ing light Ueither does not
light up when the key is
turned to MAR to if while travelling
the warning lights comes on either
steady or blinking (along with a
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, where provided). The opera-
tion of warning light Umay be
checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are
driving.

The car can be driven using the me-
chanical steering in case of failure to
the electric power steering system.
Take the car to a Lancia Dealership
as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT The steering may be-
fore stiffer when parking requiring a
lot of steering. This is normal and
caused by the electric control motor
overheating system. No repairs are
needed. The power steering system
will start working properly again the
next time the car is used. PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper and their function is to in-
form the driver, through an intermit-
tent buzzer, about the presence of ob-
stacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically acti-
vated when the reverse gear is en-
gaged. As the distance from the ob-
stacle behind the car decreases, the
acoustic alarm becomes more fre-
quent.
fig. 114L0D0419m
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety. This also
causes the warranty to become null
and void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Electric power steering failure is indi-
cated by the turning on of warning
light
gon the instrument panel to-
gether with the dedicated message on
the multifunctional display (where
provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
Before starting any main-
tenance operation, stop the
engine and remove the key from the
ignition switch to operate the steer-
ing lock, particularly when the car
is lifted off the ground. If this is
not possible (i.e. if the key must be
kept in the MAR position or the en-
gine must be kept running), remove
the main electric power steering
system fuse.
