Deactivation
When the lights are switched off by the sensor, the dipped
beam headlights and side lights are switched off and the
daylight lights are switched on (if activated).
The sensor cannot detect the presence of fog: switch the
lights on manually in this case.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS WITH CORNERING LIGHTS
FUNCTION
When travelling at a speed of less than 40 km/h with the
dipped beam headlights on, when the steering wheel is
turned at a wide angle or the direction indicators are lit
up, a light (built into the front fog lights) will be activat-
ed on the side of the turn to increase night time visibility.
This function can be switched on/off using the display
menus (see “Display” section in this chapter). AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR
(dusk sensor) fig. 27 (where provided)
This sensor detects changes in external light levels ac-
cording to the sensitivity of the setting: the higher the sen-
sitivity, the lower the amount of external light needed to
switch the lights on. The sensitivity of the dusk sensor may
be adjusted, using the “Set-up menu” on the instrument
panel.
Activation
Turn the selector wheel to AUTO: in this way the external
lighting will switch on automatically according to the out-
side light level.
The headlights can only be flashed with the sensor on.The daytime lights are an alternative to the
dipped beam headlights for driving during
the daytime. They are compliant in countries
where is it obligatory to have lights on during the
day and permitted in those where it is not obliga-
tory Daytime lights cannot replace dipped beam
headlights when driving at night or through tunnels.
The use of daytime lights is governed by the High-
way Code of the country you are in. Keep to the
rules.

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
(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.

STARTING UP AND DRIVING153

Accessories fitted on longitudinal bars
Remove any accessories such as: longitudinal bars, ski
racks, luggage rack, from the roof if they are not being
used. These accessories decrease aerodynamic penetration
and have a negative effect on fuel consumption. It is bet-
ter to use a trailer to transport particularly bulky objects.
Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time needed.
The heated rear windscreen, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount
of energy; increasing the requirement of current increas-
es fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system leads to higher fuel consump-
tion (up to +20% on average): use air vents only when the
external temperature allows.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may adversely
affect air drag and fuel consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the car standing: the en-
gine warms up very slowly in these conditions, increas-
ing fuel consumption and emissions. It is advisable to start
off immediately and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic lights or before
stopping the engine. The latter action, like doubling the
clutch, is unnecessary and causes increased fuel con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road conditions
allow. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase
fuel consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases
fuel consumption, emissions and engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed in-
creases. Keep your speed as even as possible, avoiding un-
necessary braking and acceleration, which cause excessive
fuel consumption and increased emissions.

IN AN EMERGENCY175
4
Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure, if
they break, glass fragments may be dis-
persed.
IMPORTANT A slight misting may appear on the inter-
nal surface of the headlight: this does not indicate a fault
and is caused by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights indicates water penetration. Contact a Lan-
cia Dealership
When handling halogen bulbs, only touch the
metal part. Touching the transparent part of
the bulb with your fingers may reduce the in-
tensity of the emitted light and even compromise the
life of the lamp. In the event of accidental contact,
wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol
and leave it to dry.
Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs
changed at a Lancia Dealership. The correct
operation and orientation of the external
lights is essential for safe driving. You may be li-
able to fines if this is not the case.
