OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Sensor operation is deactivated automatically
when the trailer's electric cable plug is fitted into
the car's tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically reactivated when
the trailer's cable plug is removed.
For correct operation, sensors must
always be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
sensors must 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.
GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care over
obstacles that may be above or under the
sensors.
❒Objects close to the car, are not detected under
certain circumstances and could therefore cause
damage to the car or be damaged.
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 sensor
of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint;
❒the sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical
interference, for example when washing the car,
in rain (strong wind), hail;
❒the signals sent by the sensor can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g.
pneumatic brake systems of trucks or
pneumatic drills) near the vehicle;
❒parking assistance system performance can also
be influenced 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 changing tyres, overloading
the car or carrying out specific tuning
operations that require the car to be lowered.
WARNING
The driver is always responsible for
parking manoeuvres however. When
making these manoeuvres, always make sure
that no people (especially children) or
animals are present in your manoeuvring
area. The parking sensors are an aid for the
driver, but must never allow their attention
to lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds.

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.
WARNING
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. The Magic
Parking system does NOT in any way adjust
the speed of the car during the manoeuvre:
the control of the acceleration speed and
braking remain the responsibility of the
driver.
SENSORS
When searching for a parking space, the system
uses the side sensors fig. 80, which are
automatically activated below 30 km/h.
During this stage, if the driver has just passed a
space that might be useful for a manoeuvre,
the function can be requested using the
button
on the instrument panel fig. 81: the instructions
for carrying out the manoeuvre will be shown
on the instrument panel display. If the function is
not requested by the driver (button pressed), no
information will be displayed.

OPERATION
The assisted parking manoeuvre can only be
activated with the instrument panel on and at
speeds below about 30 km/h and consists of the
following stages:❒Activation:pressing the button
starts the
search.
❒Search:through side sensors, the system
continuously searches for a free parking space,
suitable for the car's dimensions. The driver
chooses on which side of the road they intend to
park using the direction indicators (if no
information is available from the direction
indicators or hazard warning lights, the search
takes place on the passenger side).
IMPORTANT The SEARCHING is disabled if,
after about 10 minutes, a suitable parking space
has not been found.
❒Identification:if the system identifies a free
parking space that is a suitable size for the
car, it signals its presence and indicates
the actions required for starting the manoeuvre.
❒Manoeuvre:the driver is asked to engage
reverse gear, release the steering wheel and
manage the accelerator, brake and clutch (in the
case of manual gearbox) or accelerator and
brake (in the case of automatic gearbox) (for
versions/markets, where provided). During the
reverse parking manoeuvre, the system manages
the steering wheel automatically. According to
the parking space, the manoeuvre may end
through reversing or further manoeuvres, both
in forward gear and in reverse, may be
necessary. After the first manoeuvre, when the
rear buzzer sounds continuously, the driver
is requested to disengage reverse and engage the
forward gear. If this is not enough, when the

If the road surface is very uneven or there are
obstacles under the wheels affecting the movement
of the car, preventing it from continuing along
the correct trajectory, the manoeuvre may be
interrupted.
End of manoeuvre
If the size of parking space permits, the parking
manoeuvre may be performed in one manoeuvre.
When the reverse gear is disengaged the wheels
will be realigned and the manoeuvre will be
considered completed (the system will
consequently be deactivated).
If the size of the parking space is smaller, it may
take several manoeuvres: the driver will be
advised to complete the parking manoeuvre
manually via a dedicated message in the
instrument panel display.
WARNING
If you wish to stop the steering wheel
with your hands during a manoeuvre,
it is advisable to handle it firmly on the
outer rim. Do not try and keep your hands
on the inside or hold the spokes.GENERAL WARNINGS
❒The ultimate responsibility when parking,
however, always rests with the driver. During
these manoeuvres, always make sure that no
people, animals or objects are within the
manoeuvring area. The Magic Parking system
(like parking sensors) is designed to assist
drivers: in all cases, you must always pay the
utmost attention during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even when these are carried out
a low speed:
❒If the sensors undergo shocks influencing their
position, the system operation could be strongly
degraded.
❒If the sensors are dirty, covered by snow, ice or
mud or are repainted compared to the original
conditions, the system operation could be
strongly degraded. It is vital that the sensors are
always clean in order for the system to work
properly. During cleaning make sure not to
scratch or damage them; avoid using dry or
rough cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations, clean
the sensors quickly, keeping the steam jet/high
pressure washing nozzles at least 10 cm away
from the sensors.
❒Ultrasonic sound sources (e.g. pneumatic brakes
of trucks or air drills) nearby could negatively
influence the sensor performance.

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.

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 Dealership to have the system updated
because the tow hook could be detected as an
obstacle by the centre sensors.
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 car may not be detected
and could therefore cause damage to the car 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 sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint
❒The sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical
interference, for example when washing the car,
in rain, (strong wind), hail.❒The signals sent by the sensors can also be
altered by the presence of ultrasonic systems
(e.g. pneumatic brake systems or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle.
❒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 car.
❒The detection of obstacles at the top part of the
car may not be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could cause an impact
with the car in the bottom part.
