roof close attempts result in Pinch
Protect reversals, the fourth close
attempt will be a Manual Close
movement with Pinch Protect dis-
abled.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as
the perception of pressure on the ears
or a helicopter-type sound in the ears.
Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffet-
ing with the windows down, or the
sunroof (for versions/markets, where
provided) in certain open or partially
open positions. This is a normal oc-
currence and can be minimized. If the
buffeting occurs with the rear win-
dows open, open the front and rear
windows together to minimize the
buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with
the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof
opening to minimize the buffeting or
open any window.
SUNROOF MAINTENANCE
Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a
soft cloth to clean the glass panel.
IGNITION OFF OPERATION
For vehicles not equipped with the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC), the power sunroof switch will
remain active for 45 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned to the LOCK
position. Opening either front door
will cancel this feature.

WARNING!
 Be certain that the seatback issecurely locked into position. If
the seatback is not securely
locked into position, the seat will
not provide the proper stability
for child seats and/or passengers.
An improperly latched seat could
cause serious injury.
 The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks
in the locked-up or folded down
position) should not be used as a
play area by children when the
vehicle is in motion. They could
be seriously injured in a collision.
Children should be seated and us-
ing the proper restraint system.
 To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be
seated in the rear cargo area. The
rear cargo space is intended for
load carrying purposes only, not
for passengers, who should sit in
seats and use seat belts.
WARNING!
The weight and position of cargo
and passengers can change the ve-
hicle center of gravity and vehicle
handling. To avoid loss of control
resulting in personal injury, follow
these guidelines for loading your
vehicle:
Always place cargo evenly on the
cargo floor. Put heavier objects as
low and as far forward as possible. Place as much cargo as possible infront of the rear axle. Too much
weight or improperly placed
weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the rear of the ve-
hicle to sway.
 Do not pile luggage or cargo
higher than the top of the seat-
back. This could impair visibility
or become a dangerous projectile
in a sudden stop or collision. CARGO AREA FEATURES
TRUNK MAT (for versions/
markets, where provided)
A trunk mat covers the bottom of the
cargo area. The trunk mat is used to
protect the interior of the trunk from
mud, snow, and debris.
GROCERY BAG HOOKS
(for versions/markets
where provided)
The rear cargo area is equipped with
grocery bag hooks, located on either
side of the rear cargo area.

16. Vehicle Security LightThis light will flash at a fast
rate for approximately
15 seconds, when the ve-
hicle security alarm is arm-
ing, and then will flash slowly until
the vehicle is disarmed.
17. Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) OFF Indicator Light (for
versions/markets, where provided)
This light indicates the
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) is off.
18. Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light (for versions/
markets, where provided) The “ESC Activation/Mal-
function Indicator Light” in
the instrument cluster will
come on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON/RUN posi-
tion. It should go out with the engine
running. If the “ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine run-
ning, a malfunction has been detected
in the ESC system. If this light re-
mains on after several ignition cycles,
and the vehicle has been driven sev-
eral kilometers at speeds greater than
48 km/h, see your authorized dealer
as soon as possible to have the prob-
lem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:

The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and
the “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” come on momen-
tarily each time the ignition
switch is turned to ON/RUN.Each time the ignition is turned to
ON/RUN, the ESC system will be
ON, even if it was turned off
previously.The ESC system will make buzz-
ing or clicking sounds when it is
active. This is normal; the sounds
will stop when ESC becomes in-
active following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation.
19. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is
first turned to ON/RUN, this
light will turn on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check. During
the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt
is unbuckled, a chime will sound.
After the bulb check or when driving,
if the driver or passenger's (for
versions/markets, where provided)
seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will illuminate
and the chime will sound. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in “Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”
for further information.
20. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading
within the normal range indicates
that the engine cooling system is op-
erating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate
a higher temperature when driving in
hot weather, up mountain grades, or
when towing a trailer. It should not be
allowed to exceed the upper limits of
the normal operating range.

WARNING!(Continued)
Unintended movement of a vehicle
could injure those in or near the
vehicle. As with all vehicles, you
should never exit a vehicle while
the engine is running. Before exit-
ing a vehicle, always apply the
parking brake, shift the transmis-
sion into PARK, and turn the en-
gine off. When the ignition is in the
OFF position, the shift lever is
locked in PARK, securing the ve-
hicle against unwanted movement. When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle. Allowing children
to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Chil-
dren should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake
pedal or the shift lever.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, and do not leave Key-
less Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.CAUTION!
 Before moving the shift lever out
of PARK, you must turn the igni-
tion switch from the LOCK/OFF
position to the ON/RUN position,
and also press the brake pedal.
Otherwise, damage to the shift
lever could result.
 DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK or NEU-
TRAL into another gear range, as
this can damage the drivetrain.
The following indicators should be
used to ensure that you have engaged
the shift lever into the PARK position:
When shifting into PARK, press the
lock button on the shift lever and
push the lever all the way forward
until it stops. When released, the
lever will return to its home position.
With brake pedal released, look at the
shift lever position display and verify
that it indicates the PARK position.REVERSE
This range is for moving the vehicle
backward. Shift into REVERSE only
after the vehicle has come to a com-
plete stop.
NEUTRAL
Use this range when the vehicle is
standing for prolonged periods with
the engine running. The engine may
be started in this range. Apply the
parking brake and shift the transmis-
sion into PARK if you must leave the
vehicle.WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and
never turn off the ignition to coast
down a hill. These are unsafe prac-
tices that limit your response to
changing traffic or road conditions.
You might lose control of the ve-
hicle and have a collision.
202

In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps.
NOTE:
In cases where the instru-
ment cluster message indicates the
transmission may not re-engage af-
ter engine shutdown, perform this
procedure only in a desired loca-
tion (preferably, at your authorized
dealer).
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK,
if possible.
3. Turn the engine OFF.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range.
If the problem is no longer detected,
the transmission will return to normal
operation.
NOTE: Even if the transmission
can be reset, we recommend that
you visit your authorized dealer at your earliest possible conve-
nience. Your authorized dealer has
diagnostic equipment to deter-
mine if the problem could recur.
If the transmission cannot be reset,
authorized dealer service is required.
FIVE-SPEED AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION –
3.0L DIESEL ENGINE
The shift lever position display (lo-
cated in the instrument cluster) indi-
cates the transmission gear range. You
must press the brake pedal to move
the shift lever out of PARK (refer to
“Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
System” in this section). To drive,
move the shift lever from PARK or
NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
The electronically-controlled trans-
mission provides a precise shift sched-
ule. The transmission electronics are
self-calibrating; therefore, the first few
shifts on a new vehicle may be some-
what abrupt. This is a normal condi-
tion, and precision shifts will develop
within a few hundred kilometers.
Only shifting from DRIVE to PARK or
REVERSE when the accelerator
pedal is released and the vehicle is
stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on
the brake pedal when shifting be-
tween these gears.
The transmission shift lever has only
PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, and
DRIVE shift positions. Manual shifts
can be made using the “AutoStick®”
shift control (for versions/markets,
where provided; refer to
“AutoStick®” in this section). Mov-
ing the shift lever to the left or right
(-/+) while in the DRIVE position, or
tapping one of the steering wheel-
mounted shift paddles (-/+) (for
versions/markets, where provided),
will manually select the transmission
gear, and will display that gear in the
instrument cluster as 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

GEAR RANGES
DO NOT race the engine when shift-
ing from PARK or NEUTRAL into
another gear range.
NOTE: After selecting any gear
range, wait a moment to allow the
selected gear to engage before ac-
celerating. This is especially im-
portant when the engine is cold.
If there is a need to restart the engine,
be sure to cycle the ignition to the OFF
position before restarting. Transmis-
sion gear engagement may be delayed
after restarting the engine if the igni-
tion is not cycled to the OFF position
first.
PARKThis range supplements the parking
brake by locking the transmission. The
engine can be started in this range.
Never attempt to use PARK while the
vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking
brake when leaving the vehicle in this
range.When parking on a level surface, you
may place the shift lever in PARK first,
and then apply the parking brake.
When parking on a hill, apply the
parking brake before placing the shift
lever in PARK, otherwise the load on
the transmission locking mechanism
may make it difficult to move the shift
lever out of PARK. As an added pre-
caution, turn the front wheels toward
the curb on a downhill grade and away
from the curb on an uphill grade.
WARNING!
 Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake.
Always apply the parking brake
fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
 Your vehicle could move and in-
jure you and others if it is not in
PARK. Check by trying to move
the shift lever out of PARK with
the brake pedal released. Make
sure the transmission is in PARK
before leaving the vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
It is dangerous to move the shift
lever out of PARK or NEUTRAL if
the engine speed is higher than idle
speed. If your foot is not firmly
pressing the brake pedal, the ve-
hicle could accelerate quickly for-
ward or in reverse. You could lose
control of the vehicle and hit some-
one or something. Only shift into
gear when the engine is idling nor-
mally and when your foot is firmly
pressing the brake pedal.Unintended movement of a vehicle
could injure those in or near the
vehicle. As with all vehicles, you
should never exit a vehicle while
the engine is running. Before exit-
ing a vehicle, always apply the
parking brake, shift the transmis-
sion into PARK, and turn the en-
gine off. When the ignition is in the
OFF position, the shift lever is
locked in PARK, securing the ve-
hicle against unwanted movement. When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.

DRIVE
This range should be used for most
city and highway driving. It provides
the smoothest upshifts and down-
shifts, and the best fuel economy. The
transmission automatically upshifts
through underdrive first, second, and
third gears, direct fourth gear and
overdrive fifth gear. The DRIVE posi-
tion provides optimum driving char-
acteristics under all normal operating
conditions.When frequent transmission shifting
occurs (such as when operating the ve-
hicle under heavy loading conditions,
in hilly terrain, traveling into strong
head winds, or while towing heavy
trailers), use the “AutoStick®” shift
control (for versions/markets, where
provided; refer to “AutoStick®” in this
section) to select a lower gear. Under
these conditions, using a lower gear
will improve performance and extend
transmission life by reducing excessive
shifting and heat buildup.
Transmission Limp Home ModeTransmission function is monitored
electronically for abnormal conditions.
If a condition is detected that could
result in transmission damage, Trans-
mission Limp Home Mode is activated.
In this mode, the transmission remains
in the current gear until the vehicle is
brought to a stop. After the vehicle has
stopped, the transmission will remain
in second gear regardless of which for-
ward gear is selected. PARK, RE-
VERSE, and NEUTRAL will continue
to operate. The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) may be illuminated. Limp
Home Mode allows the vehicle to be
driven to an authorized dealer for
service without damaging the trans-
mission.In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Turn the engine OFF.
4.
Wait approximately 10 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6.
Shift into the desired gear range.
If the problem is no longer detected, the
transmission will return to normal op-
eration.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission
can be reset, we recommend that
you visit your authorized dealer at
your earliest possible convenience.
Your authorized dealer has diag-
nostic equipment to determine if
the problem could recur. If the
transmission cannot be reset, au-
thorized dealer service is required.
Overdrive Operation
The automatic transmission includes
an electronically controlled Overdrive
(fifth gear). The transmission will au-
tomatically shift into Overdrive if the
following conditions are present:
 the shift lever is in the DRIVE po- sition,
 vehicle speed is sufficiently high, and
 the driver is not heavily pressing the accelerator.
207

the wheel’s specifications match those
of the original wheels.
It is recommended you contact your
original equipment or an authorized
tire dealer with any questions you
may have on tire specifications or ca-
pability. Failure to use equivalent re-
placement tires may adversely affect
the safety, handling, and ride of your
vehicle.WARNING!
Do not use a tire, wheel size or
rating other than that specified for
your vehicle. Some combinations
of unapproved tires and wheels
may change suspension dimen-
sions and performance character-
istics, resulting in changes to steer-
ing, handling, and braking of your
vehicle. This can cause unpredict-
able handling and stress to steer-
ing and suspension components.
You could lose control and have a
collision resulting in serious injury
or death. Use only the tire and
wheel sizes with load ratings ap-
proved for your vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Never use a tire with a smaller load
index or capacity, other than what
was originally equipped on your
vehicle. Using a tire with a smaller
load index could result in tire over-
loading and failure. You could lose
control and have a collision.Failure to equip your vehicle with
tires having adequate speed capa-
bility can result in sudden tire fail-
ure and loss of vehicle control.CAUTION!Replacing original tires with tires of a
different size may result in false
speedometer and odometer readings.TIRE CHAINS
(TRACTION DEVICES)
Use of Security Chain Company
(SCC) Super Z6 SZ143 or Iceman Z6
IZ-643 cables or equivalent are rec-
ommended on 225/65R17 tires. NOTE:
 These chains can be found at an
authorized LANCIA Dealership.
 Do not use tire chains on a com- pact spare tire.
Use of traction devices require suffi-
cient tire-to-body clearance. Follow
these recommendations to guard
against damage.
 Traction device must be of proper size for the tire, as recommended by
the traction device manufacturer.
 Install on Rear Tires Only.

Due to limited clearance, the Security
Chain Company (SCC) Super Z6 low
profile traction device or equivalent is
recommended on P215/65R17,
P225/60R18 or P235/55R18 tires. For an All Wheel Drive vehicle, P235/55R19 tire with the use of a
traction device that meets the SAE
type “Class S” specification is rec-
ommended.
