Abstract: Gravity coupled three--dimensional sigma--model describing the stationary Einstein--Maxwell--dilaton system with general dilaton coupling is studied. Killing equations for the corresponding five--dimensional target space are integrated. It is shown that for general coupling constant alpha the symmetry algebra is isomorphic to the maximal solvable subalgebra of sl(3,R). For two critical values alpha=0 and alpha=sqrt3, Killing algebra enlarges to the full sl(3,R) and su(2,1)imesR algebras respectively, which correspond to five--dimensional Kaluza--Klein and four--dimensional Brans--Dicke--Maxwell theories. These two models are analyzed in terms of the unique real variables. Relation to the description in terms of complex Ernst potentials is discussed. Non--trivial discrete maps between different subspaces of the target space are found and used to generate new arbitrary--alpha solutions to dilaton gravity.
