ASR FUNCTION
ACTUATION SIGNAL
ASR function actuation is signalled
by the flashing of warning lamp á on
the dashboard: this informs the driver
that the system is adapting itself to
the roadbed adhesion conditions.
ASR function fault warning
In case of faults, this function is au-
tomatically switched off. This condi-
tion is signalled by the simultaneous
lighting up of warning lamp á on the
dashboard and of LED B on the
switch.
In case of faults, the vehicle's be-
haviour will be the same as the mod-
els not equipped with this function: in
any case, it is recommended that you
contact your Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible, to have the ESP sys-
tem checked.

HH FUNCTION
Hill Holder (where provided)
It is an integral part of the ESP sys-
tem and facilitates starting on an up-
hill slope.
It is automatically activated in the
following conditions:
Uphill: vehicle stationary on a road
with gradient above 2%, engine run-
ning, clutch and brake pedals pressed
and gearbox in neutral position or
gear engaged (reverse excluded).
Downhill: stationary on a road with
gradient above 2%, engine running,
clutch and brake pedals pressed and
reverse engaged.
During pickup the ESP system con-
trol unit maintains the wheel braking
pressure until the engine torque re-
quired for start up is reached, or any-
way for a maximum of 2 seconds, so
that the right foot can be moved eas-
ily from the brake pedal to the accel-
erator pedal.
After 2 seconds and without starting
the car, the system automatically de-
activates gradually releasing the brak-
ing pressure. During this phase it is
possible to hear the typical brake me-
chanical disengaging noise which in-
dicates the car is about to move off.
