When one of the two buttons is pressed briefly, the win-
dow moves in stages; if the button is held down, “con-
tinuous automatic” operation is activated both for clos-
ing and opening. If the button is pressed again the
window will stop in its current position. Holding the but-
ton pressed for a few seconds will automatically raise or
lower the window (only with key on MAR).
Incorrect use of the power windows may be
dangerous. Before and during operation en-
sure that passengers are not at risk from the
moving glass, either directly or through personal
objects getting caught in the mechanism.
Always remove the ignition key when leav-
ing the car to prevent the electric windows
being operated accidentally and constituting
a danger to the passengers in the car.

Anti-crush safety device
The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch safety device
for the raising of the front windows.
This safety system detects the presence of an obstacle
during the window closing travel and cuts in by stopping
and reversing the window travel, depending on its posi-
tion. This device is also useful if the windows are acti-
vated accidentally by children on board the vehicle.
The anti-pinch function is active both during manual and
automatic operation of the electric windows. Following
the intervention of the anti-pinch system, the window
travel is immediately interrupted and subsequently re-
versed until the lower end of travel is reached. The win-
dow cannot be operated in any way during this time.IMPORTANT If the anti-pinch protection intervenes 5
consecutive times within a minute or is faulty, the auto-
matic closing operation of the window is inhibited, only
allowing it in steps of half a second; the button is released
for the subsequent manoeuvre.
In order to restore the correct operation of the system, one
of the following manoeuvres must be performed:
❍switch off and restart the engine;
❍fully lower the window concerned.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the
electric windows remain active for about 3 minutes and
are deactivated when a door is opened.

BOOT
OPENING THE TAILGATE
When unlocked, the luggage compartment can be opened
from the outside using the handle fig. 55.
The tailgate can be opened at any time, if the doors are
unlocked.
The key with remote control should be used to open the
tailgate.
fig. 55L0E0046m
If the luggage compartment is not closed correctly, this
is indicated by the warning light
´coming on in the in-
strument panel or the icon
Rappearing in the display
together with a dedicated message (see “Instrument panel
warning lights” paragraph in this chapter).
Opening the tailgate will switch the boot light on: the
light will go off automatically when closing the tailgate.
The light will stay on for about 15 minutes after turning
the key to STOP: if during this time, a door or the tailgate
is opened, the light will switch on again for 15 minutes.
Opening the tailgate using the key
with remote control
To release the tailgate lock press R. Luggage com-
partment opening is indicated by the double flashing of
the direction indicators; tailgate closing is indicated by
single flashing (only with the alarm switched on, where
provided).

100KNOWING YOUR CAR
With hot engine, proceed with the utmost
care inside the engine compartment to avoid
burns. Do not place your hands close to the
fan: it might start working even with the ignition
key removed. Wait for the engine to cool.
Pay attention to scarves, ties and other loose
fitting garments. If they accidentally touch
moving parts, they may easily get caught up
with serious risks for those who wear them.
CLOSING fig. 65
Proceed as follows:
❍Hold the bonnet up with one hand and with the other
remove rod C from housing D and put it back into its
catch;
❍Lower the bonnet to approximately 20 centimetres
from the engine compartment and let it drop. Make
sure that the bonnet is completely closed and not only
fastened by the safety catch by trying to open it. In
this case, do not press the bonnet down, rather lift
it again and repeat the procedure.
For safety reasons, the bonnet must always
be properly closed while the car is travel-
ling. Make sure that the bonnet is properly
closed and that the lock is engaged. Should you no-
tice that the bonnet is not properly secured while
travelling, stop the car immediately and close the
bonnet safely.

HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING
The correct aiming of the headlights is important for the
comfort and safety of not only the driver but all other
road users. This is also covered by a specific rule of the
highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aimed to guarantee the
best visibility conditions for all drivers while travelling
with headlights on.
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the headlights prop-
erly adjusted.
Check beam alignment every time the load or its distri-
bution changes.
ANGLE COMPENSATION fig. 67
The car is fitted with an electric headlight alignment sys-
tem. This system is operational with the ignition key
turned to MAR and the dipped beam headlights on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This means
the headlight beam rises.
In this case, it is necessary to adjust the beams using but-
tons A and B.
The display provides a visual indication of the positions
during adjustment.Correct positions depending on the load
Position 0 – one or two people in the front seats.
Position 1 – five passengers.
Position 2 – five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load stowed
in the luggage compartment.

adjusted.

IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
IMPORTANT The steering may become stiffer during
parking manoeuvres including a great deal of steering.
This is normal and caused by the system preventing the
electric control motor overheating. No repairs are needed.
The power steering system will start working normally
again the next time the car is used.Under no circumstances should aftermarket
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft device). This could
negatively affect performance and safety, invali-
date the warranty, cause serious safety problems
and also result in vehicle non-compliance with
type-approval requirements.
Before servicing the car, switch off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition device
to activate the steering lock. This is espe-
cially important when the car wheels are not touch-
ing the ground. If this is not possible (e.g. if the key
must be kept in the MAR position or the engine must
be kept running), remove the electric power steering
system main fuse.On some versions, with the CITY function
activated, the SPORT function is not avail-
able. To activate the SPORT function, deactivate
the CITY function and vice versa, because they are
reciprocally incompatible.
