LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
OPENING THE TAILGATE
When unlocked, the tailgate can be opened from the out-
side by operating the handle fig. 55.
The tailgate can be opened at any time if car doors are un-
locked.
The key with remote control should be used to open the
tailgate.

HEADLIGHTS
BEAM DIRECTION
The correct orientation of the headlights is important for
the comfort and safety of not only the driver but all road
users. It is also a specific rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aligned to ensure the best
visibility conditions for all drivers.
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the headlights prop-
erly adjusted.
Check beam alignment every time the load or its distrib-
ution changes.
BEAM ADJUSTMENT fig. 67
The car is fitted with an electric headlight alignment sys-
tem. This system is operational with the ignition key to
MAR and the dipped beam headlights on.
The car will tilt backwards when it is loaded, raising the
light beam.
In this case, it is necessary to adjust the beams using but-
tons A and B.
The display provides a visual indication of the position
during adjustment.Correct position depending on load
Position 0 - one or two passengers in the front seats.
Position 1 - five passengers.
Position 2 - five passengers + load in the boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum permitted load in the lug-
gage compartment.
FRONT FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the front fog lights
checked and properly adjusted.

HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT
ABROAD
The factory adjustment of the dipped beam headlights de-
pends on the country where the car is purchased. When
you travel in countries with a different driving direction,
it is necessary to cover certain areas of the headlight ac-
cording to the provisions of the Highway Code of the coun-
try you are travelling in to avoid blinding the drivers trav-
elling in the opposite direction.
ADAPTIVE LIGHTS (AFS - Adaptive Xenon Light)
This is a system linked to the Xenon headlights, which
continuously and automatically adjusts the main light
beam and adapts it to the driving conditions when cor-
nering. The system directs the light beam to improve the
illumination of the road, taking into account the vehicle
speed, the cornering angle and the speed at which the
steering wheel is turned.Activating/deactivating the system fig. 68
The adaptive lights are activated automatically when the
vehicle is started. In this situation the LED (amber) on
button A will remain off.
Press button A to deactivate the adaptive lights (if acti-
vated); the LED on button A will light up. To reactivate
the adaptive lights: press button A once again (LED on
button is off).
In the event of a system failure, an indication is provided
on the instrument panel by the flashing of warning light
for the symbol.

a dedicated message (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided).

DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque)
This system is built into the advanced ESP control unit
and provides steering corrections via the electric power
steering during driving. The system applies torque to the
steering wheel, increasing the feeling of safety, maintain-
ing control and reducing the impact of advanced ESP sys-
tem intervention.
Fault signalling
In the event of any operating faults occurring, the sys-
tem switches off automatically and the èwarning light is
lit up on the display together with a dedicated message.
In this case contact a Lancia Dealership.
SPORT FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle can be equipped with a system that allows you
to choose between two driving modes: normal and sport.
Press the SPORT button fig. 69 to set the sport driving
mode. This is characterised by increased acceleration re-
sponse and increased force required at the steering wheel
to obtain a more sporty drive.

When the function is active, “S” is displayed on the in-
strument panel. Press the button once again to deacti-
vate the function and return to the standard driving mode.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and caused by a system to prevent the mo-
tor from overheating. No servicing is required. The pow-
er steering system will return to normal operation the next
time the car is used.Under no circumstances should after-market
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, cause the lapse
of the warranty and also result in vehicle non-com-
pliance with type-approval requirements.
Before servicing the car, switch off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition device to
activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels do not touch the
ground. If this is not possible (if the key must be on
MAR or the engine must be running), remove the
main fuse which protects the electric power steering.
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 reci-
procally incompatible.

On the 1.4 Turbo Jet 150 HP version, when the SPORT
button is pressed, the turbocharger (overboost) function
is also activated; the engine management control unit, de-
pending on the
position of the accelerator pedal and, for a limited time,
allows maximum pressure leves inside the turbocharger
to be reached with a consequent increase in engine torque
compared with that that can be reached normally.
This function is particularly useful if maximum perfor-
mance is required for a short period (e.g. when overtak-
ing).
IMPORTANT When the SPORT function is used, during
acceleration shuddering of the steering may be noticed
which is typical of a sports setting.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
System failure
In the case of fault, the system notifies the driver by means
of a message on the reconfigurable multifunctional display
instrument panel and by lighting up the amber symbol
i.
In this case, go to a Lancia Dealership.
DRIVING ADVISOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Driving Advisor is a warning system that notifies
the driver if they drift out of their lane because they have
been distracted.
A video sensor, fitted to the windscreen near the internal
rear-view mirror, detects the lane boundaries and the ve-
hicle’s position in respect to them.
IMPORTANT If the windscreen needs replacing on cars
fitted with a Driving Advisor system, it is advisable to go
to a Lancia Dealership. If the repair is being carried out
at a specialist window replacement centre, it is still nec-
essary to go to a Lancia Dealership to have the tv cam-
era calibrated.
