ACOUS TIC SIGNAL
The information concerning the pre sence and dis tance of
an obs tacle from the car is transmitted to the driver by
means of acous tic signals from 2 buzzers installed in the
passenger compartment:
❍ a front buzzer warns of the presence of obs tacles at the
front and a buzzer located at the rear warns of the pres-
ence of obs tacles at the rear. Thi s permits the driver to
perceive the direction (front/rear) of the ob stacles .
Operation i s automaticall y activated when rever se gear
i s engaged.
The acou stic signal:
❍ increas es a s the dis tance between the car and the ob-
s tacle decreas es;
❍ becomes continuous when the dis tance between the car
and the obs tacle is less than ar

ound 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance increas es;
❍ is cons tant if the dis tance is unvaried; if this s ituation
occurs for the s ide sens ors, the indication will s top af-
ter about 3 s econds to avoid, for example, warning in-
dications in the event of manoeuvre s alongs ide walls .
The sensor must be clean of mud, dirt, snow
or ice in order for the system to operate cor-
rectly. 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 nec-
essary. 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 re-
touches to the paintwork in the area of the
sensors carried out by a Lancia Dealership.
If the paint is incorrectly applied this could ad-
versely affect the operation of the parking sensors.
S ENS OR OPERATING RANGE
The sens ors allow the system to check the front part (ver-
s ion with 8 s ensors) and rear part of the vehicle.
Their pos ition covers the middle and s ide areas of the front
and rear of the car. If an obs tacle is located in a middle area,
it is detected when the dis tance is less than about 0.9 m
(front) and 1.30 m (rear).
If the obs tacle is located at the s ide, it is detected at dis -
tances of less than 0.6 m.

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.

IMPORTANT After putting the seats back to their trav-
elling position, restore the seat belt position to make them
ready for use.
IMPORTANT If the rear seat is being moved and this caus-
es the middle seat belt to lock temporarily, normal con-
ditions can be restored simply by moving the seat towards
the back of the car.

SBR SYSTEM
The car is provided with the SBR (Seat Belt Reminder)
system, which warns the driver and the front passenger
if the seat belt is not fastened, as follows:
❍warning light
activation of the acoustic signal for the first 6 seconds;
❍ warning light
intermittently for the next 96 seconds.
For long-term deactivation of the SBR system, contact a
Lancia Dealership.
The SBR system can be reactivated at any time through
the display Setup Menu (see chapter “1”).

Should it be necessary to carry a child on the
passenger side front seat in a rear facing
child restraint system, the passenger side
front airbag and side bag (for versions/markets,
where provided) must be deactivated through the
Setup menu. Deactivation should be verified by
checking whether the warning light is switched on
in the instrument panel. Move the passenger’s seat
as far back as possible to avoid contact between the
child restraint system and the dashboard.
Do not move the front or rear seat if a child
is seated on it or on the dedicated child re-
straint system.
On the sun visor there is a label with suitable
symbols to remind you that it is compulsory to
deactivate the airbag if a rear facing child re-
straint system is fitted. Always comply with the in-
structions on the passenger’s side sun visor (see the
“Front Airbags” paragraph).In Europe the characteristics of children restraint systems
are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group Weight range
Group 0 up to 10 kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the type-approval data
along with the control mark on a fixed label which must
never be removed in any circumstances. Lineaccessori
Lancia includes child restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are recommended, having been
specifically designed for Lancia cars.

Main instructions for carrying children safely:
❍Install the child restraint systems on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position in the event of
an accident.
❍ Keep children in rear facing restraint systems for as
long as possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.
❍ Should a rear facing child restraint system be installed
on the rear seats, it is advisable to position it as far for-
ward as the position of the front seat allows.
❍ If the front passenger’s airbag is deactivated always
check that the dedicated warning light is permanent-
ly switched on on the instrument panel to make sure
that it has actually been deactivated.
❍ Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child
restraint system itself. Keep the instructions in the car
along with the other documents and this handbook.
Do not use second-hand child restraint systems with-
out instructions. ❍
Only one child is to be strapped to each retaining sys-
tem; never use it to transport two children at once.
❍ Always check that the seat belts do not interfere with
the child’s throat.
❍ Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
❍ While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or
unfasten the belts.
❍ Never allow a child to put the belt’s diagonal section
under an arm or behind their back.
❍ Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-
one can restrain a child in the event of an accident.
❍ In the event of an accident, replace the child restraint
system with a new one.
Fit the child restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be included.

KNEE BAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 14
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It consists of an instantly inflating cushion housed in a
compartment provided for the purpose under the lower
post guard at driver’s knee level, designed to give further
protection in the event of frontal impact.
Manual deactivation of passenger
front airbag and side bag
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat, the passenger front airbags and side bags can
be deactivated.
The instrument panel
“warning light will stay on con-
stantly until the passenger front airbag and the Side Bag
are reactivated.
IMPORTANT To deactivate the passenger’s front airbag
and the side bags (for versions/markets, where provided),
refer to “Multifunction display” and “Reconfigurable mul-
tifunction display” paragraphs in the “Knowing your car”
chapter.
fig. 14L0E0069m
When there is an active passenger airbag, DO
NOT install rear facing child restraint sys-
tems on the front seat. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal in-
juries to the child regardless of the severity
of the impact. Therefore, always deactivate the pas-
senger airbag when a rear facing child restraint
system is installed on the front passenger seat. The
front passenger seat must also be positioned back
as far as possible in order to avoid the child re-
straint system from coming into contact with the
dashboard. Immediately reactivate the passenger
airbag as soon as the child restraint system has been
removed.

IMPORTANT The front airbags and/or side bags may ac-
tivate in the event of sharp knocks to the underbody of the
vehicle (e.g. impact with steps, pavements, potholes or
road bumps etc.).
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will be released
when the airbags are deployed. The dust is harmless and
does not indicate the beginning of a fire. Furthermore, the
surface of the deployed bag and the interior of the car may
be covered with dusty residue. This dust can irritate skin
and eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in the event of
exposure.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags and side bags
are deployed according to different logic on the basis of
the type of collision. Non-deployment of one or more of
the devices does not therefore indicate a system malfunc-
tion.Do not rest your head, arms or elbows on the
door, on the windows and on the window bag
area to avoid injuries during inflation. Nev-
er lean your head, arms or elbows out of the win-
dow.
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur activating any of
the safety devices, take the car to a Lancia Dealership to
have the activated devices replaced and the system
checked.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement must only be car-
ried out at a Lancia Dealership. If you are having the car
scrapped, have the airbag system deactivated at a Lan-
cia Dealership first. If the car changes ownership, the new
owner must be informed of the method of use of airbags
and the above warnings and also be given this “Owner
Handbook”.
