SEATS
All adjustments made to front and rear seats
must only be carried out when the vehicle is
at a standstill.
After releasing the adjustment levers, always
check that the seat is locked on the runners
by trying to move it back and forth. If it is not
locked, the seat may move unexpectedly and make
you lose control of the car.
FRONT SEATS

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.
fappearing on the display along with
a dedicated message (where provided).

ADVANCED ESP SYSTEM
(ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAM)
This is an electronic system that controls car stability in
the event of tyre grip loss.
The Advanced ESP system is therefore particularly use-
ful when road surface grip conditions change.
With the ESP system as well as the ASR (traction control
with intervention on the brakes and the engine) plus the
HILL HOLDER (device for hill starts without using the
brakes) and also MSR (adjustment of engine braking force
with gear downshift), HBA (automatic increase in brak-
ing pressure during emergency braking), ABS (prevent-
ing the wheels from locking and slipping on all road sur-
faces during sharp braking and DST (application of force
on the steering wheel for steering correction) functions are
all available.SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the blinking of warning light áon the
instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car is in
critical stability and grip conditions.
Switching the system on
The Advanced ESP system is automatically activated when
the car is started and cannot be de-activated.
Failure indications
In the event of a failure, the Advanced ESP system will be
automatically switched off and warning light áwill appear
on the instrument panel along with a message on the re-
configurable multifunctional display. The LED on the ASR
OFF button will also light up (see “Instrument panel warn-
ing lights”). In this case contact a Lancia Dealership.
The performance of the Advanced ESP sys-
tem should not encourage the driver to take
unnecessary risks. Your driving style should
always take road conditions, visibility and traffic
into account. The driver is ultimately responsible
for road safety.
