IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 15:
❍STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering
locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. sound system,
central door locking system, etc.) can operate.
❍MAR: driving position. All electrical devices can op-
erate.
❍AVV: engine starting.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety system that re-
quires the ignition key to be turned back to STOP if the
engine does not start before the starting operation can be
repeated.STEERING 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 remove the key while the car is mov-
ing. The steering wheel would automatically
lock as soon as you try to turn it. This also
applies to when the car is towed. Under no cir-
cumstances should aftermarket 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, cause serious
safety problems and also result in non-compliance
of the car with type-approval requirements.

REAR SEATS
Backrest angle adjustment
Lift lever A-fig. 18/a (one each side) for backrest angle
adjustment, for the left or right part of the backrest (to
aid this operation, slightly move the seat forwards using
lever B).
Rear seat 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 op-
erate the levers B (one on each side).
fig. 18/aL0E0010m
“Fixed” type rear seats
In some versions, rear seats are “fixed” type and the
backrest angle adjustment is possible if the luggage com-
partment is extended. Use lever A-fig. 18/b (one each
side) for backrest angle adjustment.
When repositioning the rear backrest during
its movement, check that it has coupled cor-
rectly, grasping the backrest at the top and
shaking it.
fig. 18/bL0E0231m
Before tilting the backrests, make sure that
the seat belts are fully stretched, without any
twisting.

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 the controls A, in all four di-
rections.Folding 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
electrically 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 percep-
tion of distance.

IMPORTANT It is advisable to activate air recirculation
in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. However, it is better not to use the function for
long periods, particularly if there are many people on
board, to prevent the windows from misting inside.
D. Air recirculation on/off button
(LED lit up when function is on).
E Manual climate control compressor on/off button
(LED lit up when function is on).
F Heated rear window activation/deactivation button.
When the function is active, an LED on the button
is lit up. In order to maintain battery efficiency, the
function is automatically deactivated after about
20 minutes.FAST FRONT WINDOW AND FRONT SIDE
WINDOWS DEMISTING/DEFROSTING (MAX-DEF)
Proceed as follows:
❍turn knob A to the red section;
❍turn knob C to
Ú;
❍turn knob D to -;
❍turn knob B to 4 -(maximum fan speed).
IMPORTANT The climate control system is very useful for
fast demisting because it dries the air. Adjust the controls
as described above and press knob B to switch the climate
control system on: the LED on the knob will light up.
SYSTEM SERVICING
In winter, the climate control system must be turned on
at least once a month for about 10 minutes. Have the sys-
tem inspected 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
day lights are switched on (if activated).
The sensor is not capable of detecting the presence of fog
therefore, in these circumstances, the lights have to be
turned on manually.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS WITH CORNERING LIGHTS
FUNCTION
When the dipped headlamps are on and the speed is be-
low 40 km/h, if the steering wheel rotation angle is large
or the direction indicators are on, a light (incorporated in
the fog light) will come on on the relevant side to improve
visibility at nightime. The function can be acti-
vated/deactivated via the display menu (see “Display”
paragraph in this chapter). AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR
(dusk sensor) fig. 27
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects variations in brightness outside the vehicle de-
pending on the light setting: the greater the sensitivity,
the less outside light needed to activate the exterior lights
being turned on. The sensitivity of the dusk sensor may
be adjusted, using the “Set-up menu” on the instrument
panel.
Activation
When the ring nut is turned to the AUTO position the ex-
ternal lights automatically switch on depending on the
exterior brightness.
The headlights can only be flashed with the sensor on.The daytime running lights are an alterna-
tive to the dipped beam headlights for dri-
ving during the daytime in countries where
it is compulsory to have lights on during the day,
and they are also permitted in those countries
where this not obligatory.
Daytime running lights cannot replace dipped
headlights when driving at night or through tunnels.
The use of daytime running lights is governed by
the highway code of the country in which you are
driving. Comply with legal requirements.
