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 .

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.

OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sens ors is automaticall y deactivated
when the trailer’ s electric plug i s in serted in the car’ s tow
hook socket. The sens ors are automatically reactivated
when the trailer’ s cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If y ou wish to leave the tow hook fitted when
there is no trailer, it is advisable to go to a Lancia Deal-
ers hip to have the system updated becau se the tow hook
could be detected as an obstacle by the centre s ensors.
FAULT INDIC AT I O NS
Either symbol
S(if the Magic Parking system is fitted),
or symbol
t(if the Magic Parking i s not fitted) will light
up on the di splay in combination with a me ssage or with
ins trument panel
èwarning light if parking s
ensor faults
are detected while revers e is engaged.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
During parking manoeuvre s, pay the utmos t attention to
any obs tacles that could be located above or below the s en-
s ors .
Under certain circum stances close objects located in front
of or behind the vehicle ma y not be detected and could
therefore caus e damage to the vehicle or be damaged
thems elves. The following condition
s ma y influence the performance
of the parking a ssistance system:
❍ Reduced sens or sens itivity and a reduction in the park-
ing assi stance system performance could be due to the
pres ence on the surface of the sens ors of: ice, s now
,
mud, thick paint.
❍ The sens ors detect a non-exi stent obs tacle (echo in-
terference) due to mechanical interference, for exam-
ple when was hing the vehicle, rain ( strong wind), hail.
❍ The indication s s ent by the sensors can als o be altered
b y the pres ence of ultras onic devices (e.g. truck pneu-
matic brake systems or pneumatic drill s) near the car.
❍ The performance of the parking a ssistance system may
als o be affected by the position of the s ensors. For ex-
ample, if the geometr y is altered (as a result of wear of
the shock abs orbers, su spens ion) or the ty res ar
e
changed, the vehicle i s too heavily laden, specific tun-
ing is carried out that lower s the vehicle.
❍ The detection of obs tacles to the upper part of the ve-
hicle is not guaranteed a s the system is designed to de-
tect obs tacles that could impact the lower part of the
vehicle.
