LANE CHANGE FUNCTION
If you wish to signal a lane change, place the left lever
in the unstable position for less than half a second. The
direction indicator on the side selected will flash five
times and then switch off automatically.
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This allows the space surrounding the car to be lit up for
a certain period of time.
Activation
With the ignition key in the STOP position or extracted,
pull the stalk towards the steering wheel and move it
within 2 minutes of the engine switching off. At each sin-
gle movement of the stalk, the lights will remain on for
an extra 30 seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automatically. Each time
the lever is operated, the warning light 3 on the instru-
ment panel comes on and the display shows how long the
function will remain active. The warning light comes on
when the stalk is pulled for the first time and stays lit un-
til the function switches itself off automatically. Each time
the stalk is activated the time will extend the time that
the lights remain on.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steering wheel for more
than 2 seconds.WINDOW WASHING

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN ABROAD
Dipped headlights are adjusted to drive in the country
where the vehicle was originally purchased. When trav-
elling in countries with opposite driving direction, to
avoid blinding the drivers on the other side of the road,
you need to cover the headlight areas depending on the
Highway code of the country you are travelling in.
ADAPTIVE LIGHTS (AFS – Adaptive Xenon Light)
This is a system combined with Xenon headlamps which
directs the main light beam and continuously and auto-
matically adapts it to the driving conditions round
bends/when cornering. The system directs the light beam
to light up the road in the best way, taking into account
the speed of the vehicle, the bend/corner angle and the
speed of steering.Activating/deactivating the system fig. 68
The adaptive lights are automatically activated 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); they will be deactivated and the LED on button
A will come on constantly. Press AFS button again to turn
the adaptive lights on (LED off on the button).
In the event of a system failure, an indication is provided
on the instrument panel by the flashing of warning light
f
or the symbol
fappearing on the display along with a ded-
icated message (for versions/markets where provided).

OPERATION
The system is not active when the vehicle is started. It is
only activated when button A-fig. 71 in the dashboard
is pressed. The LED in the button lights up to confirm
that the system has been switched on plus a dedicated
warning message in the instrument panel display. Once
it is turned on the system will recognise the operating
conditions and this is signalled to the driver by the LED
located in the button flashing and the symbol
ein the
amber coloured panel in the instrument panel display
flashing too. Once the system has recognised the operat-
ing conditions, it becomes active. Therefore: the
eicon
in the display switches off and the LED on the button
remains on constantly.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions are no longer
present then the system will deactivate. This is signalled
to the driver by the LED on the button flashing and the
amber
eicon on the display flashing.
OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system becomes active only if the
following conditions are present:
❍always keep at least one hand on the steering wheel;
❍vehicle speed between 65 km/h and 180 km/h;
❍presence of lane demarcation lines not deteriorated
and visible on both sides;
❍suitable visibility conditions;
❍straight line or wide radius bends;
❍visual field condition sufficient (safe distance from ve-
hicle in front). ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING THE SYSTEM
With the system on, if the vehicle approaches one of the
lines defining the side of the lane, a torque is applied to
the steering wheel to let the driver know which direction
to steer in order to stay within the lane. If the driver turns
on the direction indicator in order to change lanes or for
overtaking, then the system will switch off momentarily.
If the driver wishes to change lanes without turning the
direction indicator on, then there will be a warning from
the steering wheel that they are about to cross the line.
If the driver continues with the manoeuvre to change
lanes, the system will be temporarily deactivated and
then switch back on again once it has recognised the new
driving lane. This temporary deactivation will be sig-
nalled to the driver by the LED in the button flashing and
by the
esymbol in the amber coloured panel in the in-
strument panel display also flashing.
IMPORTANT The force applied to the steering wheel by
the system is sufficient for the driver to notice it but they
can easily override it and maintain control of the vehicle.

Start&Stop system activation
A message and a symbol will be displayed when the
Start&Stop system is on. In this condition, the LED
A-fig. 75 on the button Tis off.
Turning the Start&Stop off
Versions with reconfigurable multifunction display: the
Tsymbol will appear on the display when the Start&Stop
system is off.
When the system is deactivated, the LED A-fig. 75 is on.ENGINE STOPPING FAILURE CONDITIONS
When the system is operating, due to comfort, emission
control and safety reasons, the engine does not stop in
some conditions, among which:
❍engine still cold;
❍especially cold outside temperature;
❍battery not sufficiently charged;
❍heated rear window activated;
❍driver’s door not shut;
❍driver’s seat belt not fastened;
❍reverse gear engaged (for example, during parking
manoeuvres);
❍for versions equipped with dual zone automatic cli-
mate control (for versions/markets, where provided),
if an adequate level of thermal comfort has not been
reached or MAX-DEF function activation;
❍during the first period of use, to initialise the system.
In these cases, the display shows a message and – for
those versions/markets where provide – the symbol U
on the instrument panel display flashes.
If the climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Start&Stop system can be deactivated, for
a continuous operation of the climate control system.

KNOWING YOUR CAR119
ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful emissions and
safety purposes, the power unit can restart automatically
without any action on behalf of the driver if certain con-
ditions are met, including:
❍battery not sufficiently charged;
❍reduced braking system pressure, e.g. following the
brake pedal being pressed repeatedly;
❍car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a gra-
dient);
❍engine stopping by Start&Stop system for over 3 min-
utes;
❍for versions equipped with dual zone automatic cli-
mate control (for versions/markets where provided),
to enable suitable thermal comfort or MAX-DEF
function activation.
With gear engaged, automatic engine restarting is possi-
ble only by fully pressing the clutch pedal.
The driver is informed by the displaying of a message and
– for versions/markets where provided – by the flashing
of the symbol U.Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, after 3 minutes from the en-
gine stopping, the engine can be restarted only using the
ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and this is not desired, due
for example to the clutch pedal being released sharply
with a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop system is acti-
vated, the engine can be restarted by fully depressing the
clutch pedal or by placing the gear lever in neutral
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the Start&Stop system,
if the driver releases his/her seat belt and opens the dri-
ver’s or passenger’s door, the engine can be restarted only
using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer and by the flashing
of the symbol Uon the display; on some versions, a mes-
sage is displayed as well.

122KNOWING YOUR CAR
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) car-
ries out a continuous diagnosis of the components of the
car related to emissions. It also alerts the driver, by turn-
ing on the
Uwarning light in the instrument panel to-
gether with a message in the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display, when these components are no longer in
peak condition (see “Instrument panel warning lights”
chapter).
The goal of the system is to:
❍to keep system efficiency under control;
❍to signal a fault which causes emission levels to in-
crease;
❍to signal the need to replace deteriorated components.
The system also has a diagnosis connector that can be in-
terfaced to suitable instruments, to read the error codes
stored in the control unit together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by traffic control au-
thorities.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the problem, to check the
system completely, Lancia Dealerships run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long
journey.
Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible if warning light
Ueither does not light
up when the key is turned to MAR–ON or if,
while travelling, the warning light comes on either
steadily or flashing (along with a message in the
reconfigurable multifunction display). The oper-
ation of the warning light
Umay be checked by the
traffic control authorities using specific devices.
Always comply with the traffic regulations in force
in the country where you are driving.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
THIS is an electrically controlled power steering system
called “Dualdrive”. It is only operational with the igni-
tion key turned to MAR–ON and the engine running; it
can be customised by the driver according to the driving
conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key quickly,
complete power steering functionality may be achieved
after 1-2 seconds.

SAFETY151
The rear seat belts must be used as shown in the diagram
in fig. 2.
IMPORTANT After putting the seats back to their trav-
elling position, restore the seat belt position to make them
ready for use.
IMPORTANT If the rear seat is being moved and this
causes the middle seat belt to lock temporarily, normal
conditions can be restored by simply moving the seat to-
wards the back of the car.

S.B.R. SYSTEM
The car is provided with the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder)
system, which warns the driver and the front passenger
if the seat belt is not fastened, as follows:
❍warning light
activation of the beeper for the first 6 seconds;
❍warning light
mittently for the next 96 seconds.
For permanent deactivation, contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship.
S.B.R. system can also be reactivated through the set-up
menu.
