EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis ) car-
ries out a continuou s diagno sis of the components of the
car related to emissions . It also alerts the driver, by turn-
ing on the
Uwarning light in the ins trument panel to-
gether with a message in the reconfigurable multifunction
dis play , when thes e components are no longer in peak con-
dition (s ee “Instrument panel warning light s” paragraph).
The goal of the system is to:
❍ to keep system efficiency under control;
❍ to signal a fault which caus es emission level s to in-
creas e;
❍ to signal the need to replace deteriorated component s.
The system als o has a connector that can be interfaced
with appropriate equipment, which makes it possible to
read the error code s s tored in the control unit together with
a series of specific parameter s for engine operation and
diagnos is .
This check can al so be carried out b y traffic control au-
thorities . IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to check the
system completely
, Lancia Dealerships run a bench tes t
and, if necessary , r

oad tes ts which may also call for a long
journey .

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
This is an electrically controlled power s teering system
called “Dualdrive”. It i s only operational with the ignition
key turned to MAR and the engine running; it can be cu s-
tomis ed by the driver according to the driving condition s.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition ke y quickly , com-
plete power s teering functionality may be achieved after
1-2 seconds . C
ITY FUNC TION
A CTIVATION/DEAC TIVATION
Press button A - fig.76 to activate/deactivate the function.
When the function i s active, the CITY warning light on
the ins trument panel turns on.
When the CITY function i s on, the s teering wheel effort
i s lighter and parking operation s are eas ier: therefore this
function is particularl y u seful for driving in cit y centres .

FAULT INDICAT I O NS
Any failure of the electric power s teering is indicated by
ins trument panel g warning light coming on together with
a message in the reconfigurable multifunction di splay . In
the event of electric power s teering system failure, the
car can be driven with mechanical steering.
IMPORTANT In s ome circumstances, factors independent
of the electric power s teering could cause the g warning
light on the ins trument panel to come on. In this case, stop
the car immediately , switch off the engine for about 20
s econds and then res tart the engine. If the gwarning light
remain s on, together with the me ssage on the reconfig-
urable multifunction di splay , contact a Lancia Dealers hip
a s s oon as possible.
Under no circumstances should aftermarket
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.
installation of anti-theft device). This could nega-
tively affect performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty, cause serious safety problems and also
result in vehicle non-compliance with type-ap-
proval requirements.
On some versions, with the CITY function ac-
tivated, the SPORT function is not available.
To activate the SPORT function, deactivate the
CITY function and vice versa, because they are rec-
iprocally incompatible.

IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and is caused by a system to prevent the
motor from overheating. No servicing is required. The
power steering system will s tart working normall y again
the next time the car is used.TPMS SYSTEM
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
(for vers ions/markets , where provided)
The car may be equipped with a TPMS (Tyre Pre ssure
Monitoring System). This system compris es a radio fre-
quency transmitter fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim
ins ide the ty re), which i s able to send information on the
t y re inflation pressure of each wheel to the control unit.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE TPMS
The fault indication s are not s tored and will therefore
not be dis played after the engine ha s been s witched off
and then on again. If the fault condition s pers is t, the con-
trol unit will s end the relative indication s to the ins tru-
ment panel only after the car ha s been in motion for a
s hort time.
Before starting any servicing operation, stop
the engine and remove the key from the ig-
nition switch to operate the steering lock, par-
ticularly when the wheels do not touch the ground.
If this is not possible (i.e. if the key must be kept
in the MAR position or the engine must be kept run-
ning), remove the main electric power steering sys-
tem fuse.

1If the vehicle is equipped with the TPMS,
when a tyre is removed, it is advisable to re-
place the rubber gasket for the valve. Contact
a Lancia Dealership.
If the vehicle is equipped with the TPMS, tyre
and/or rim fitting/removal operations require
specific precautions. To avoid damaging the
sensors or fitting them incorrectly, tyre and/or rims
fitting/removal operations should be carried out on-
ly by specialists. Contact a Lancia Dealership.
Particularly strong radiofrequency interfer-
ence may cause the TPMS to operate incor-
rectly. This condition is indicated to the dri-
ver by the
nwarning light or symbol lighting up on
the display together with a dedicated message.
The message will disappear automatically as soon
as the interference ceases to disturb the system.

FAILURE INDICAT I O NS
Any faults in the parking s ensor system are indicated,
when revers e gear is engaged, by the
èwarning light on
the ins trument panel lighting up and a dedicated me ssage
appearing in the multifunction di splay .
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
S ens or operation i s automaticall y deactivated when the
trailer’ s electric cable plug is fitted in the car’s tow hook
s ocket.
The sens ors are automaticall y reactivated when the trail-
er’ s cable plug is removed.
For correct operation, sensors must always
be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be care-
ful not to scratch or damage the sensors while
cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors must be washed using clean wa-
ter, 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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
❍ When parking, watch out for ob stacles that may be
above or under the sens ors.
❍ Sometimes , objects placed clos e to the car are not de-
tected and could therefore cau se damage to the car or
be damaged them selves .

SENS ORS
While searching for a parking place, the system uses s ide
s ens ors (see fig. 78).
Thes e sens ors are automatically activated below around
30 km/h; during thi s s tage if the driver ha s ju st passed a
s pace that might be us eful for a manoeuvre, the function
can be reques ted using the s pecial button; at this point the
ins tructions for carry ing out the manoeuvre will be s hown
on the dis play. If the function is not requested by the dri-
ver us ing the s pecial button, no information will be di s-
play ed on the ins trument panel. OPERATION
The assi
sted parking manoeuvre can onl y be activated with
the ins trument panel on and at speeds below about 30
km/h. It is divided into the following stages :
❍ Activation: pr

essing the button fig. 79 activates the
s earch stage.
❍ Search: through s ide sens ors, the system continuous -
l y s earches for a free parking space, suitable to the vehi-
cle dimens ions. The driver determine s on which s ide of the
road they intend to park us ing the direction indicators
(if no information i s available from the direction indica-
tors or hazard warning lights, the search takes place on
the passenger side).

To select the s earch and manoeuvring s ide, the driver
mus t:
1) D Choos
e to carry out the search for the s pace and
the manoeuvre on the pa ssenger side with:
❍ the direction indicator in the middle po sition;
❍ the hazard warning light s on;
❍ the hazard warning lights on and the direction indi-
cator in the pa ssenger side pos ition;
❍ the direction indicator pointing toward s the passenger
s ide.
2) F Choos
e to carry out the search for the space and the
manoeuvre on the driver side with:
❍ the direction indicator in the driver’ s s ide pos ition;
❍ the hazard warning lights on and the direction indi-
cator in the driver side pos ition;
The system will notify the driver, on the s ide in which the
s earch and the manoeuvre are taking place b y means of ded-
icated messages in the instrument panel dis play and the
symbols (
F and
D) differ

ent on the right and left s ides.
The search will, however, take place on both sides , there-
fore it is possible to make the selection us ing the direc-
tion indicators even when having ju st driven pas t a park-
ing space that is deemed suitable. During the s
earch stage, the s peed must not exceed 30
km/h; when 25 km/h have been reached, the driver i s s ig-
nalled to decreas e the speed; if a s peed of 30 km/h i s ex-
ceeded, the system is deactivated; in thi s cas e, the sys-
tem mus t be restarted by pressing the button
S.
If the Lane crossing function is activated (see “Exterior
lights ” paragraph) the s earch for the parking space always
takes place on the pa ssenger side.
If the parking sens ors are activated during the search for
a parking s pace (see “Front and rear parking sens ors”
paragraph), the operation of the Magic Parking system
i s deactivated.
The search for the parking space and the
parking manoeuvres must be carried out in
compliance with the current regulations of the
Highway Code.
