KNOWING YOUR CAR69
When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the
vehicle speed may slightly exceed the preset one.
The engagement of the device is signalled by the Üwarn-
ing light coming on in the instrument panel (together
with a message shown on the display) (see “Instrument
panel warning lights” paragraph in this chapter).
STORING THE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❍turn the ring nut A-fig. 31 to ON and press the ac-
celerator until the vehicle reaches the desired speed;
❍turn the ring nut to (+) for at least three seconds, then
release it. The vehicle speed is now memorised and
you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accel-
erate simply by pressing the accelerator pedal; when you
come off the pedal, the car will return to the speed mem-
orised previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by de-
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed
can be restored as follows:
❍accelerate gradually until reaching a speed ap-
proaching the memorised speed;
❍engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rising (fourth, fifth or sixth gear);
❍press button C-fig. 31.INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❍by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❍by temporarily turning ring nut B-fig. 31 to (+).
Each movement of the selector wheel will correspond to
a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the selector wheel turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❍by disengaging the device and then memorising the
new speed;
or
❍by keeping ring nut B-fig. 31 turned to (–) until the
new speed is reached; it will then be memorised au-
tomatically.
Each movement of the ring nut will corresponds to
a slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while keep-
ing the ring nut turned will correspond to a continuous
reduction in speed.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN ABROAD
Dipped headlights are adjusted to drive in the country
where the vehicle was originally purchased. When trav-
elling in countries with opposite driving direction, to
avoid blinding the drivers on the other side of the road,
you need to cover the headlight areas depending on the
Highway code of the country you are travelling in.
ADAPTIVE LIGHTS (AFS – Adaptive Xenon Light)
This is a system combined with Xenon headlamps which
directs the main light beam and continuously and auto-
matically adapts it to the driving conditions round
bends/when cornering. The system directs the light beam
to light up the road in the best way, taking into account
the speed of the vehicle, the bend/corner angle and the
speed of steering.Activating/deactivating the system fig. 68
The adaptive lights are automatically activated 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); they will be deactivated and the LED on button
A will come on constantly. Press AFS button again to turn
the adaptive lights on (LED off on the button).
In the event of a system failure, an indication is provided

REACTIVE SUSPENSION
SYSTEM (active shock
absorber system)
This system interacts with the Sport function (see “Sport
function” paragraph).
The SPORT button, fig. 70, allows you to choose between
two different driving settings depending on the route type
and on the road surface:
– with the button released: “normal” mode
– with the button pressed: “SPORT” mode.In “normal” operating mode, active shock absorbers ad-
just car suspensions, adapting them to the type of road
and to the driving stresses, improving driving comfort in
particular on rough terrain.
In “SPORT” operating mode, the letter “S” is lit up on
the instrument panel display. This function produces
a sports driving setting featuring greater responsiveness
during acceleration and a sports driving feeling with the
steering, as well as the regulation and distribution of the
damping at the shock absorbers guaranteeing greater ve-
hicle precision and reaction, whilst maintaining a good
level of comfort. The driver will notice that the vehicle
is more precise when cornering and quicker in changing
direction.

KNOWING YOUR CAR107
In the 1.4 Turbo Jet 150 HP version, pressing the SPORT
button, the turbocharger supercharging function (over-
boost) starts; considering the
position of the accelerator pedal and for a limited time,
the engine management control unit achieves maximum
pressure levels inside the turbocharger, with a consequent
increase in engine torque with respect to that which is
normally possible.
This function is particularly useful whenever maximum
performance is required for a short time (e.g. when over-
taking).
IMPORTANT During acceleration, when the SPORT
function is used the steering may shudder which is typi-
cal of a sports setting.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
System failure
In the event of a malfunction, the system notifies the dri-
ver of the fault via a dedicated message in the reconfig-
urable multifunction display instrument panel and the
amber
isymbol coming on.
In this case, go to a Lancia Dealership.
DRIVING ADVISOR
(Lane crossing warning )
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Driving Advisor is a warning system that notifies
the driver if he/she crosses the lane because he/she
has been distracted.A video sensor, fitted on the wind-
screen near the interior rear view mirror, detects the lane
demarcation lines and the position of the car in relation
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.

108KNOWING YOUR CAR
OPERATION
The system is not active when the vehicle is started. It is
only activated when button A-fig. 71 in the dashboard
is pressed. The LED in the button lights up to confirm
that the system has been switched on plus a dedicated
warning message in the instrument panel display. Once
it is turned on the system will recognise the operating
conditions and this is signalled to the driver by the LED
located in the button flashing and the symbol
ein the
amber coloured panel in the instrument panel display
flashing too. Once the system has recognised the operat-
ing conditions, it becomes active. Therefore: the
eicon
in the display switches off and the LED on the button
remains on constantly.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions are no longer
present then the system will deactivate. This is signalled
to the driver by the LED on the button flashing and the
amber
eicon on the display flashing.
OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system becomes active only if the
following conditions are present:
❍always keep at least one hand on the steering wheel;
❍vehicle speed between 65 km/h and 180 km/h;
❍presence of lane demarcation lines not deteriorated
and visible on both sides;
❍suitable visibility conditions;
❍straight line or wide radius bends;
❍visual field condition sufficient (safe distance from ve-
hicle in front). ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING THE SYSTEM
With the system on, if the vehicle approaches one of the
lines defining the side of the lane, a torque is applied to
the steering wheel to let the driver know which direction
to steer in order to stay within the lane. If the driver turns
on the direction indicator in order to change lanes or for
overtaking, then the system will switch off momentarily.
If the driver wishes to change lanes without turning the
direction indicator on, then there will be a warning from
the steering wheel that they are about to cross the line.
If the driver continues with the manoeuvre to change
lanes, the system will be temporarily deactivated and
then switch back on again once it has recognised the new
driving lane. This temporary deactivation will be sig-
nalled to the driver by the LED in the button flashing and
by the
esymbol in the amber coloured panel in the in-
strument panel display also flashing.
IMPORTANT The force applied to the steering wheel by
the system is sufficient for the driver to notice it but they
can easily override it and maintain control of the vehicle.
