When reverse gear is released, the front and rear
sensors remain activated until a speed of around
15 km/h is exceeded to allow the parking
manoeuvre to be completed.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing the PARK
button again or when a speed of 15 km/h is
exceeded: the LED in the button is off when the
system is not active.
When the sensors are activated, the system starts
to produce acoustic signals from the front or
rear buzzers as soon as an obstacle is detected
with the frequency increasing as the obstacle gets
closer. When the obstacle is less than about 30
cm away, the sound becomes continuous.
Depending on the position of the obstacle (front or
rear) the sound is produced by the corresponding
buzzers (front or rear). The obstacle closest to
the car is signalled.The acoustic signal stops immediately if the
distance of the obstacle increases. The sound cycle
remains constant if the distance measured by the
centre sensors remains unchanged, while if this
situation occurs for the side sensors, the signal is
interrupted after about 3 seconds (for example, to
prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres
alongside walls).
WARNING
Parking manoeuvres however are
always the driver’s responsibility.
When making these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are present in your
manoeuvring space. The parking sensors
serve to assist the driver, but must never
allow his or her attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.

WARNING BUZZER
The information concerning the presence and
distance of an obstacle from the car is transmitted
by means of acoustic signals from buzzers
installed in the passenger compartment:
❒in the versions with 4 rear sensors, a buzzer in
the front dashboard area warns of the presence
of rear obstacles;
❒in the versions with 10 sensors, a front buzzer
warns of the presence of obstacles at the front
and a buzzer located at the rear warns of the
presence of obstacles at the rear.
The acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between the car and
the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases
❒remains constant if the distance remains
unchanged; if this situation concerns the side
sensors, the buzzer will stop after about 3
seconds to avoid, for example, warning
indications in the event of manoeuvres along
walls.
The sensor must be free of mud, dirt,
snow or ice in order for the system
to work. Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
sensors should be washed using clean water
with the addition of car shampoo if necessary.
When using special washing equipment such
as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean
the sensors very quickly keeping the jet more
than 10 cm away.Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the
area of the sensors carried out by a
Lancia Dealership. Incorrect paint
application could affect the operation of the
parking sensors.

REFUELLING THE CARVersions equipped with "Smart Fuel" system are
provided with an inhibiter which prevents
refuelling with incorrect fuel.
Accidental refuelling with non compliant fuels (for
example petrol in Diesel engines) can only occur
in the case of versions equipped with fuel tank
cap. Before refuelling, make sure that the fuel type
is correct.
Stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number
(R.O.N.) no lower than 95. In order to prevent
damage to the catalytic converter never introduce
even the smallest amount of leaded petrol, even
in the event of an emergency.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter
leads to harmful exhaust emissions, thus
contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in
small amounts or in an emergency, as this would
damage the catalytic converter beyond repair.DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots
with consequent defective operation of the fuel
supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel fuel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
fuel whose specifications are not suitable for the
current temperature, it is advisable to mix
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the container with the fuel.
Pour the additive into the tank before the diesel
fuel.
When using or parking the car for a long time in
the mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to
refuel using locally available diesel. In this case, it
is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.

A similar situation applies to the front passenger,
with the difference that the warning light turns
green and the indication is also interrupted when
the passenger leaves the car.
It both front seat belts are unfastened while the
car is travelling a few seconds apart, the acoustic
indication will refer to the most recent event
and the two warning lights will proceed with the
visual indication independently.
Rear seats (warning lights no. 2 and no. 3 -
4-seater versions or warning lights no. 2, no. 3
and no. 4 - 5-seater versions)
For rear seats, the reminder cycle occurs only
when any seat belt is unfastened (red flashing
warning light). In this condition, the warning light
referred to the seat belt which has been
unfastened will become red and blink for
approximately 30 seconds. An acoustic signal is
also issued.
The visual indication (red flashing) will start and
stop independently for each warning light if
several seat belts are unfastened. The warning
light will become green when the relevant seat belt
is fastened again.
The rear seat warning lights will switch off,
regardless of the state of the belt (red or green)
approximately 30 seconds after the last signal.IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, if all the front and rear belts are already
fastened the warning lights will remain lit with a
constant green light for 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the "belts fastened" warning lights will
be lit with a constant green light while those for
the belts unfastened will be lit with a constant red
light. If the last belt is also fastened, the the
warning lights will remain lit with a steady green
light for about 30 seconds then they will switch
off.

WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between
your lips (pipe, pencils, etc.). They could
cause severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
WARNING
The expiry dates of the explosive
charge and the clock spring are
shown on a specific label contained in the
glove box. Contact a Lancia Dealership
to have them replaced when the expiry date
approaches.
WARNING
If your car has been subject to theft,
attempted theft, vandalism, or
flooding, contact a Lancia Dealership to
have the airbag system checked.
WARNING
The airbags may also be deployed
when the car is not moving, if the key
is in the ignition and turned to MAR or when
the engine is off, if the car is hit by another
moving vehicle. For this reason, children
must never occupy the front seat, even if the
car is not moving. On the other hand, if
the key is inserted in STOP position, none of
the safety devices (airbags or pretensioners)
will be deployed in the event of impact.
Non-deployment of these devices does not
indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the warning light
(with
passenger side front airbag active) switches
on for a few seconds to remind you that
the passenger airbag will be deployed in an
impact, after which it should switch off.
WARNING
The
warning light flashes to
indicate
warning light failure. In
this case, for versions/markets where
provided, the explosive charges of the
passenger airbag are deactivated.
