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.

112GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
ASR SYSTEM (Anti-Slip Regulation)
This is an integral part of the ESP system and automati-
cally intervenes in case of slip of one or both drive wheels,
helping the driver to control the car. The action of the ASR
is particularly helpful in the following circumstances:
❍slipping of the inner wheel when cornering due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or excessive accelera-
tion;
❍too much power transmitted to the wheels. also in re-
lation to road surface conditions;
❍acceleration on slippery, snowy or frozen road surfaces;
❍in the event of loss of grip on a wet surface (aqua-
planing).MSR system (engine braking torque control)
This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in the event
of sudden gear downshifting, cuts in and provides torque
to the engine thus preventing excessive drive wheel drive
which, especially in poor grip conditions, can lead to a loss
of stability.
Switching the ASR system on/off fig. 73
The ASR system switches on automatically each time the
engine is started.
When driving it is possible to deactivate and then reacti-
vate the ASR system by pressing the ASR OFF button.

130GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
❍Ultrasound sources (e.g. pneumatic brakes on lorries
or pneumatic hammers) in the vicinity may affect the per-
formance of the sensors.
❍The sensors could detect an object that is not there
(echo disturbance) caused by mechanical disturbances, for
example: washing the car, rain, extreme wind conditions,
hail.
❍The sensors might not detect objects of a particular
shape or made from particular materials (very thin poles,
trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes, parking deterrents, rub-
bish bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
check that the vehicle and its path are effectively compat-
ible with the parking area identified by the system.
❍The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a different
size to those at the time the vehicle was purchased could
affect the operation of the system.
❍If the battery is disconnected or very run down, before
the Magic Parking system is available it is necessary to dri-
ve a few hundred metres, not in a straight line, to initial-
ize the system.
❍If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly inserted) the
Magic Parking system will automatically be disabled.❍If the Magic Parking system is in the “search in
progress” mode, the system could incorrectly identify a
parking space and carry out the manoeuvre (e.g. by a junc-
tion, carriage track, roads crossing the direction of travel,
etc.)
❍In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a gra-
dient, the performance of the system could be inferior and
it may deactivate.
❍If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out between
two parked vehicles alongside the pavement, the Magic
Parking system may cause the vehicle to mount the pave-
ment.
❍Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not be car-
ried out.
❍Take great care to ensure that conditions do not change
during the parking manoevure (e.g. if there are persons
and/or animals in the parking area, moving vehicles, etc.)
and intervene immediately if necessary.
❍During parking manoeuvres, pay special attention to
vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Always
follow the Highway Code.

162SAFETY
IMPORTANT The front and /or side air bags may activate
in the event of sharp knocks to the underbody of the ve-
hicle (e.g. impact with steps, pavements, potholes or road
bumps etc.).
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will be released
when the airbags are deployed. The dust is not harmful
and is not the result of a fire. Furthermore, the surface of
the deployed bag and the interior of the car may be cov-
ered in a dusty residue: This dust may irritate the skin and
the eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in the event of
exposure. The expiry date of the explosive charge and the
clock wire are shown on a specific label on the door edge.
Refer to the Lancia Dealership when it’s time to replace
them.
Do not rest your head, arms or elbows on the
door, on the windows and on the window bag
area to avoid injuries during inflation. Nev-
er lean your head, arms or elbows out of window.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags and side bags
are deployed according to different logics on the basis of
the type of collision. Non-deployment of one of the devices
does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.
IMPORTANT If any safety device has activated due to
an accident, refer to a Lancia Dealership to replace them
and check system integrity.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement must only be car-
ried out c/o a Lancia Dealership. If you are having the car
scrapped, have the airbag system deactivated at a Lan-
cia Dealership first. If the car changes ownership, the new
owner must be informed of how to use the airbags and the
above warnings: s/he must also be given this “Owner’s
Handbook”.

170STARTING UP AND DRIVING
To engage reverse gear R from neutral, raise ring A un-
der the knob and at the same time move the gearshift lever
to the left and then forwards.
For the 1.6 Multijet version: To engage reverse R from neu-
tral, raise ring A under the knob and at the same time
move the gearshift lever to the right and then backwards.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should only be used to
change gear. Do not drive with you foot resting on the
clutch pedal, even lightly. For versions/markets, where
provided, the electronic clutch control could cut in by in-
terpreting the anomalous driving style as a fault.
Press the clutch pedal fully to change gears
correctly. For this reason, there must be no
obstacles on the floor under the pedals: en-
sure that rubber mats (if any) are correctly posi-
tioned, not interfering with the pedals.
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
gear lever, because this pressure, even if light,
over time can wear out the gearbox inner
components.
REDUCING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimize pol-
luting emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (nitric oxide,
unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc…).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Service Plan”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly, at least once every four
weeks: excessively low pressure will increase fuel con-
sumption because rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. Do not travel with
too much luggage stowed in the boot. The weight of the
car (especially when driving in town) and its trim great-
ly affect fuel consumption and stability.

232CARE AND MAINTENANCE
If the vehicle must remain unused for a long
time at very low temperatures, remove the
battery and carry it to a warm place, to avoid
freezing.
When you must perform any operation on the
battery or near it, always protect your eyes
with special goggles.
Incorrect assembly of electric and electronic
devices may cause severe damage to your car.
Go to a Lancia Dealership if you want to in-
stall accessories (alarms, mobile phone, etc.): they
will suggest the most suitable devices and advise
you if a higher capacity battery needs to be in-
stalled.
Batteries contain substances that can be very
dangerous for the environment. It is advis-
able to have the battery changed by a Lancia
Dealership where it will be disposed of according
to the law.
