with the vehicle stationary and engine off.
Head restraints must be adjusted so that the
head, rather than the neck, rests on them. Only in
this case they can protect your head correctly. To
make the best use of the head restraint protection,
adjust the seat back to keep a straight back, with
the head as close as possible to its restraint.

❍fold over the backrests;
❍operate lever A to unlock the tailgate mechanically
from inside the luggage compartment.EXTENDING THE BOOT
IMPORTANT If the rear seat backrest is folded down, re-
leasing the rear curtains of the parcel shelf is strictly com-
pulsory (follow the specific indications in the “Parcel
shelf” paragraph).
The luggage compartment can be partially (1/3 or 2/3)
or totally extended by splitting the rear seat fig. 59.
Proceed as follows to extend the luggage compartment:
❍completely lower the rear seat head restraints;
❍move the seat belt to the side, making sure that it is

seat (to aid this operation, slightly move the seat for-
ward using lever B);
To extend the luggage compartment further, the rear seats
can be pushed forwards by operating handle B-fig. 58
(for versions/markets where provided).
IMPORTANT In order to achieve a uniformly flat load
platform, the head restraints should be placed in the fully
extended position before the seats are folded back.
REPOSITIONING THE REAR SEAT
To facilitate the backrest repositioning manoeuvre, it is
helpful to bring the seat cushion completely forward be-
fore folding back the seats. Move the seat belts to the side,
making sure that they are correctly extended and not
twisted. Press levers A-fig. 58, lift up the backrests and
push them backwards until you hear a click from both
attachment mechanisms.
Use handle B-fig. 58 (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) to move the seats back until you hear a click.
Make sure the backrest is properly secured
at both sides to prevent it moving forward in
the event of sharp braking that may cause
injuries to passengers.

seats, with a load platform with two height adjustments,
so that the load threshold can be flat and the luggage
compartment volume can be varied.

use the space under it as a further compartment to store
fragile or small items.
To access the space under the load compartment, lift shelf
A holding it with a hand and insert the desired objects.

place in a central position relative to the luggage com-
partment.To place shelf A at the level of the floor

❍always turn the elements C-fig. 62 so that they are in
a vertical position against the seat backrest;
❍grip handle B and raise shelf A by around 45° (point
1);
❍pull the shelf horizontally till the end of travel (point
2);
❍push the shelf downwards gently until point 3 is
reached (fully lowered);
❍bring the shelf to the “fully lowered” position
(point 4).
To move shelf A from the fully lowered position
to the highest position fig. 64:
❍grip handle B from point 1 and raise shelf A by around
45°;
❍pull the shelf upwards to point 2 and leave it resting
on the side supports D;
❍pull the shelf and bring it to point 3 (fully forwards);
❍let the shelf fall at point 4 in the “fully raised” posi-
tion.

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.
