When you pull the lever towards the
steering wheel (fig. 52), a jet of liquid
shoots out from the windscreen
washer.Rear window wash/wipe (fig. 53)
This function is only possible when
the ignition key is at MAR.
Controls:
1)turn the control from åto'for
continous wiper operation;
2)when you push the control stalk
forward (temporary position), a jet of
liquid shoots out from the rear win-
dow washer and the rear window
wiper comes into operation. When you
let the lever go again the rear window
washer/ wiper ceases to function.

ABS
The car is fitted with an ABS brak-
ing system that prevents the wheels
locking when braking, it exploits the
grip on the road surface holding the
car in the case of sudden braking.
The driver becomes aware of the
ABS activation through a slight throb-
bing of the brake pedal and the rele-
vant noise it makes.
This does not indicate brake mal-
functioning, it is an indication to the
driver that the ABS is operating. It is
a warning that the car is travelling at
borderline road grip and therefore the
speed should be adjusted to the type
of road surface.
The ABS is an addition to the basic
braking system; in the case of a fail-
ure it disables, leaving the braking
system in the same conditions as a ve-
hicle without ABS installed. COMPENSATION
FOR THE UPWARD SLANT
OF THE HEADLIGHT BEAMS
When the car is loaded, it “slopes”
backwards. This means that the head-
light beam rises. In this case it is nec-
essary to return it to the correct posi-
tion.
The car is fitted with an electric ad-
juster(fig. 84)situated at the side of
the handbrake:
Position0- one or two people on the
front seats.
Position1- five people.
Position2- five people + load in
luggage compartment.
Position3- driver + maximum per-
missible load all in the boot.
fig. 84
P4C00105
Check the positioning of
the headlight beams every
time you change the load
to be carried.
IMPORTANTIn order that the ad-
juster operates properly, the load in
the boot must not exceed the maxi-
mum values indicated.
ADJUSTING THE BEAM
OF THE FRONT FOGLIGHTS
Ask a LANCIA Dealershipto check
and, if necessary, adjust the beam for
you.

FRONT AND SIDE
AIRBAGS
FRONT AIRBAGS (fig. 85)
Description and operation
The front airbag (driver and pas-
senger) is a safety device which is im-
mediately triggered in the event of a
front impact.
It consists of an instantly inflatable
bag housed in a special compartment
located:
– in the centre of the steering wheel
on the driver’s side;
– in the dashboard on the passen-
ger’s side (larger bag).
The front airbag (driver and pas-
senger) is a device which protects the
occupants of the car during a head-on
collision of a medium-high degree.
The system was designed to protect
from injury caused by the body crash-
ing to the steering wheel or the dash-
board. IMPORTANTCars fitted with ABS
must always be fitted with the wheel
rims, tyres and brake linings of the
type and make recommended by the
Manufacturer.
The system also includes the EBD
electronic brake correction (Electronic
Brake Distributor) which, through the
control unit and the ABSsensors fur-
ther enhances the braking system.
The car is fitted with an
electronic brake distribu-
tor (EBD). If warning lights
>andxlight up simultaneously
when the engine is running, this
indicates an EBD fault. This
means that violent braking could
cause early locking of the rear
wheels causing the car to skid.
Drive very carefully to the nearest
LANCIA Dealership to have the
system checked.
If only warning light >
switches on when the en-
gine is running, this usu-
ally indicates an ABS fault. In such
cases the braking system is still ef-
ficient, although the anti-locking
device does not function. The EBD
system may also be less efficient.
Go to a LANCIA Dealership imme-
diately, taking care not to brake
suddenly, and have the system
checked.
If the xbrake fluid low
warning light comes on,
stop the car immediately
and contact the nearest LANCIA
Dealership. Fluid leaks from the
hydraulic system, can compromise
brake system operation, both tra-
ditional systems and systems with
ABS.

DRIVING WITH ABS
The car can be fitted with a wheel
anti-locking system (ABS) and with
electronic brake correction (EBD) sys-
tem.
ABS is a braking system that essen-
tially offers two advantages:
1)It prevents wheel locking and
consequent skidding in emergency
stops, particularly when the road does
not offer much grip.
2)It makes it possible to brake and
steer at the same time so you can
avoid unexpected obstacles and direct
the car where you want while brak-
ing. The extent to which this can be
done will depend on the physical lim-
its of the tyre’s total grip.To get the most out of ABS:
– During emergency stops or when
grip conditions are poor, you will feel
a slight pulsation on the brake pedal.
This is the sign that the ABS is work-
ing. Do not release the brake pedal
but continue to press so as not to in-
terrupt the braking action.
– ABS prevents the wheels from
locking, but it does not increase ac-
tual grip conditions between tyre and
road. Therefore, even if your car is fit-
ted with ABS, respect the safety dis-
tance from the car in front of you and
keep your speed down when driving
into bends.
ABS serves to increase the controlla-
bility of the car, not to enable you to
go faster.If warning light >
switches on when the en-
gine is running, this usu-
ally indicates an ABS fault. In such
cases the braking system is still ef-
ficient, although the anti-locking
device does not function. The EBD
system may also be less efficient.
Go to a LANCIA Dealership imme-
diately, taking care not to brake
suddenly, and have the system
checked.
The car is fitted with an
electronic brake corrector
(EBD). If warning lights >
andxlight up simultaneously
when the engine is running, this
indicates an EBD fault. This
means that violent braking could
cause early locking of the rear
wheels causing the car to skid.
Drive the car extremely carefully
to the nearest LANCIA Dealership
to have the system checked.

EMERGENCY
STARTUP
If the ignition key fails to deactivate
the engine immobiliser, the warning
light¢will remain lit and the engine
will not start. In this case, you should
contact your LANCIA Dealership
and get them to carry out the emer-
gency startup using the code given on
the CODE card. Alternatively, you
can perform the emergency startup
procedure yourself by following the
procedure given below.
Read the whole procedure care-
fully before trying to carry it out.If
you make a mistake in the emergency
procedure you must turn the ignition
key back to STOPand repeat the
whole operation from the beginning
step1.
1)Read the 5-figure electronic code
given on the CODE card.
2)Turn the ignition key to MAR.
3)Press the accelerator pedal to the
floor and keep it there. The warning
lamp will light up for about 8
seconds, and then go out. At this point
release the accelerator pedal and pre-
pare to count the number of flashes of
the warning lamp .
4)The warning lamp starts
flashing: when it has
flashed the number of times that cor-
responds to the first figure of the code
on the CODE card, press the acceler-
ator pedal and keep it there until the
warning lamp lights up for four
seconds and then
goes out again. Release the accelera-
tor pedal.
5)The warning lamp will start
flashing again: when
the lamp has flashed the number of
times that corresponds to the second
figure on the CODE card, press the
accelerator pedal to the floor and keep
it there.
6)Do the same for the remaining
figures on the CODE card.
7)Once the final figure has been en-
tered, keep the accelerator pedal
pressed. The warning lamp will
light up for 4 seconds andthen go out. Release the accelerator
pedal.

1. STOP THE CAR
– Stop the car so it is not a danger
for on-coming traffic and in such a
position that the tyre can be changed
in safety. The ground must be flat and
adequately firm. During the night,
chose a lit area, if possible.
– Turn engine off and engage the
handbrake.
– Engage first or reverse gear.
– Signal that the car is stopped ac-
cording to traffic regulations: hazard
lights, warning triangle, etc.
Any passengers must leave the car
and watch out for traffic while the
tyre is being changed.
If the ground is sloping or bumpy,
place wedges or other suitable mate-
rial for stopping the car under the
wheels.2. TAKE OUT THE TOOLS,
JACK AND SPARE WHEEL
(space-saver wheel)
They are in the boot.
– Lift the carpeting.
– Unscrew the fastener A (fig. 2)
and take out the tool holder.
The tool holder contains:
B- vehicle tow ring;
C- jack handle;
D- wheel bolt wrench;
E- screwdriver;F- extension for screwing wheel
bolts and inflation valve cap;
G- jack.
