IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 15:
❍STOP: the engine is off, the key can be extracted, the
steering is locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. car ra-
dio, central door locking system, etc.) are enabled
❍MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are en-
abled
❍AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety sys-
tem that requires the ignition key to be turned back to
STOP if the engine will not start, before the starting op-
eration can be repeated.STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the
steering wheel until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly as you turn the ignition
key to MAR.
IMPORTANT In some parking conditions (e.g.: wheels
turned) the effort required to move the steering wheel and
disengage the steering lock may be increased.
fig. 15L0E0107m
Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel would lock as
soon as the steering wheel is turned. This al-
so applies to when the car is towed. Under no cir-
cumstances should after-market operations be car-
ried out involving steering system or steering col-
umn modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device). This could negatively affect performance
and safety, invalidate the warranty and also re-
sult in vehicle non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.

Rear seats movement
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rear seats can be moved backwards and forwards (by
80 mm). To move the seats backwards or forwards oper-
ate levers B (one on each side).
When repositioning the rear backrest whilst
moving it, it is necessary to check that it is
correctly attached, grasping the backrest at
the top and shaking it.
“Fixed” type rear seats
In some versions, rear seats are “fixed” type and the back
rest angle adjustment is possible if the luggage compart-
ment is extended. Use lever A - fig. 18/b (one each side)
for backrest angle adjustment.

STEERING WHEEL
It can be adjusted vertically (and axially).
To adjust the steering wheel, move lever fig. 20 upwards
to position 1. Adjust the steering wheel into the most suit-
able position and lock it in this position by moving the
lever to position 2.
REARVIEW MIRRORS

The mirror is fitted with a safety device that causes its
release in the event of a violent crash.
It can be moved using lever A to two different positions:
normal or antiglare.
ELECTROCHROMIC INTERNAL REARVIEW
MIRROR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Some versions provide an electrochromic mirror with au-
tomatic antiglare function.
When the function is activated this is indicated by the LED
on the mirror lighting up.
Perform these operations only when the car
is stationary and the engine is not running.

DOOR MIRRORS fig. 22
Proceed as follows to adjust the position of the door mir-
rors:
❍select the mirror using selector B;
❍adjust the mirror using controls A, in all four direc-
tions.Folding back door mirrors fig. 23
When required (for example when the mirror causes dif-
ficulty in narrow spaces) it is possible to fold the mirror
by moving it from position 1 (open), to position 2 (closed).
On some versions the door mirrors can be folded back elec-
trically by operating a dedicated control.
fig. 22L0E0014mfig. 23L0E0015m
When driving, the mirrors should always be
in position 1. As the door mirrors are curved,
they may slightly alter the perception of dis-
tance.

IMPORTANT It is advisable to activate air recirculation
in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. Do not use the function for a long time, partic-
ularly if there are many passengers on board, to prevent
the windows from misting up.

as described above and press knob B to switch the climate
control system on: the LED on the knob will light up.
LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
Run the climate control system for at least 10 minutes
every month during the winter. Have the system inspect-
ed at a Lancia Dealership before the summer.

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
(for versions/markets, 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.
