during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire
hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous
diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions
to ensure better respect for the environment.ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical ac-
cessories (that may gradually drain the battery), visit
aLancia Dealership. They can calculate the overall
electrical requirement and check that the car’s elec-
tric system can support the required load.
CODE CARD
Keep the card in a safe place, not in the car. We rec-
ommend that you always carry the electronic code pro-
vided on the CODE card with you, in case you need
to perform an emergency start.
SCHEDULED SERVICING

Advanced ESP system (amber)
When the key is turned to the MAR position
the warning light comes on but should go out
after a few seconds. If the warning light does not
switch off or stays on together with the LED on the ASR
button when travelling, contact a Lancia Dealership. On
some versions the display shows the dedicated message.
If the warning light flashes when driving, this indicates
that the Advanced ESP system is activated.
If the battery is disconnected, the warning light áwill
switch on (together with a message in the display) to in-
dicate that the system must be realigned.
To switch the warning light off, carry out the following
initialisation procedure:
❍turn the ignition key to MAR:
❍turn the steering wheel fully both clockwise and anti-
clockwise (to move from the position with the wheels
straight);
❍turn the ignition key to STOP and then to MAR.
If the warning light
ádoes not go out after a few seconds,
seek assistance from a Lancia Dealership.
á
Hill Holder failure (amber)
The
áwarning light switches on to indicate
a Hill holder system failure. In this case, go to
a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible. Al-
ternatively, on some versions the
*symbol
switches on in the display.
The display will show a dedicated message.

Glow plugs
This warning light switches on when the key
is turned to MAR. It will switch off as soon as
the heater plugs have reached a preset temper-
ature. Start the engine as soon as the warning light
switches off.
IMPORTANT In hot outside temperatures, the warning
light may stay on for only a very short time.
Glow plug warming failure
The warning light flashes if there is a fault in the pre-
heating system. Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.

Insufficient tyre pressure
(for versions/markets where provided)
This warning light switches on when the igni-
tion key is turned to MAR, but it should switch
off after a few seconds. The warning light (amber), or
symbol in the display (red), switch on when the inflation
pressure of one or more tyres falls below a preset level.
In this way the T.P.M.S. warns the driver and signals the
possibility of the tyre being dangerously deflated and a
probable puncture (see paragraph “T.P.M.S.” in this
chapter).
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more
flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop the car,
avoiding harsh braking or steering manoeuvres. Replace
the wheel immediately with the space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets where provided) or carry out a repair
using the dedicated kit (see “Changing a wheel” in the
chapter “4”) and contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
Check tyre pressures
This warning light (for versions/markets where provided)
switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on
to show the flat tyre (see “T.P.M.S.” paragraph in this
chapter).
n
Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will show
the indications corresponding to each tyre in sequence.
Restore the correct inflation pressure values as soon as
possible (see paragraph “Cold tyre pressures” in chap-
ter “6”).
Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
This warning light (for versions/markets where provided)
switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
it should switch off after a few seconds.
Should it be necessary to travel at a speed higher than
160 km/h, inflate the tyres more than the pressure value
specified in paragraph “Cold tyre pressures” in chapter
“6”.
If the T.P.M.S. system (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) detects that the pressure of one or more tyres is
unsuitable for the current speed, the warning light or
symbol will switch on (together with the message on the
display) (see “Tyre pressure low” in this chapter) and
it will stay on until the car slows down to a speed below
the preset threshold (see “T.P.M.S.” paragraph in this
chapter).
IMPORTANT In this case, slow down immediately be-
cause tyre overheating could damage tyre performance
and durability beyond repair, and may even make the
tyre explode.

42KNOWING YOUR CAR
Only press button B-fig. 11 when the key is
away from the body, particularly from your
eyes and other objects that may be damaged
(e.g. clothing). Never leave the key unattended to
make sure it is not touched by others, especially
children, who may inadvertently press the button.
Request for additional remote controls
The system can recognise up to 8 keys with incorporated
remote control. Should a new remote control be neces-
sary, contact a Lancia Dealership and be ready to present
the CODE card, a personal identity document and the
car’s ownership documents.

Used batteries are harmful to the environ-
ment. They should be disposed of, as speci-
fied by law, in the special containers pro-
vided, otherwise take them to the Lancia Dealership,
which will deal with their disposal.

Activation of air recirculation and enablement
of AQS (Air Quality System) fig. 26
Press button
T.
Internal air recirculation is carried out according to three
possible operating modes:
❍automatic control, signalled by the AQS sign on the
display and the LED on button
Tbeing off;
❍permanently off (air recirculation always off with in-
troduction of external air), indicated by the LED on
button
Tbeing off;
❍permanently on (air recirculation always on), sig-
nalled by the LED on button
Tbeing lit up.
When OFF is pressed, the climate control system auto-
matically activates air recirculation (the LED on button
Tis on). It is still possible to activate outside air re-
circulation (LED on the button is off) and vice versa, by
pressing button
T.
With the OFF button pressed (LED on the button is lit
up), it is not possible to enable the AQS (Air Quality Sys-
tem) function.IMPORTANT The internal air recirculation system makes
it possible to reach the required heating or cooling con-
ditions faster. It is not advisable to switch the air recir-
culation on when it is rainy/cold or the windows might
mist up, especially if the climate control is not turned on.
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air. Do not use the function for
a long time, particularly if there are many passengers on
board, to prevent the windows from misting up.
Enabling the AQS (Air Quality System) function
The AQS function (AQS appears on the display), auto-
matically activates internal air recirculation when the
outside air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after 15 con-
secutive minutes of the internal air recirculation system
functioning, the climate control system enables the intake
of outside air for approximately 1 minute to change the
air in the passenger compartment. This takes place re-
gardless of the pollution level of the outside air.

KNOWING YOUR CAR69
When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the
vehicle speed may slightly exceed the preset one.
The engagement of the device is signalled by the Üwarn-
ing light coming on in the instrument panel (together
with a message shown on the display) (see “Instrument
panel warning lights” paragraph in this chapter).
STORING THE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❍turn the ring nut A-fig. 31 to ON and press the ac-
celerator until the vehicle reaches the desired speed;
❍turn the ring nut to (+) for at least three seconds, then
release it. The vehicle speed is now memorised and
you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accel-
erate simply by pressing the accelerator pedal; when you
come off the pedal, the car will return to the speed mem-
orised previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by de-
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed
can be restored as follows:
❍accelerate gradually until reaching a speed ap-
proaching the memorised speed;
❍engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rising (fourth, fifth or sixth gear);
❍press button C-fig. 31.INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❍by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❍by temporarily turning ring nut B-fig. 31 to (+).
Each movement of the selector wheel will correspond to
a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the selector wheel turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❍by disengaging the device and then memorising the
new speed;
or
❍by keeping ring nut B-fig. 31 turned to (–) until the
new speed is reached; it will then be memorised au-
tomatically.
Each movement of the ring nut will corresponds to
a slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while keep-
ing the ring nut turned will correspond to a continuous
reduction in speed.

70KNOWING YOUR CAR
TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
Turn the ring nut A-fig. 31 to OFF or turn the ignition
key to STOP. The device is automatically turned off in
one of the following cases:
❍when the brake or clutch pedal is pressed;
❍if the ASR or Advanced ESP system cuts in (for ver-
sions/markets where provided).
While travelling with the device engaged, do
not place the gear lever in neutral.
In case of malfunction or if the device is
faulty, turn the control A-fig. 31 to OFF and
contact a Lancia Dealership, after checking
that the protective fuse has not blown.

On the roof light, some bulbs light the car interior when
the main beam headlamps or dipped headlamps are on.
IMPORTANT The roof light in fig. 32, for some versions,
may also be in a rear central position (electric sun roof
version).
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make sure
that both switches are in the middle position; when the
doors are closed, the lights switch off preventing a pos-
sible battery discharging. In any case, if the switch is left
in on position, the roof light switches off automatically
15 minutes after the engine switching off.
Courtesy light timing
To make getting in and out the vehicle easier, especially
at nighttime or in poorly lit areas, two timing logics are
available.
Timing while getting into the vehicle
The roof lights switch on according to the following
modes:
❍for around 10 seconds when the front doors are un-
locked;
❍for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
❍for about 10 seconds when the doors are closed.
The timed period is interrupted when the ignition is
turned to “MAR”.Timing while getting out of the vehicle
After removing the key from the ignition, the courtesy
lights switch on according to the following modes:
❍within 2 minutes of the engine being switched off for
a period of about 10 seconds;
❍when one of the side doors is opened for a period
of about 3 minutes;
❍when one of the doors is closed for a period of about
10 seconds;
❍if the fuel cut off switch operates, they remain on for
about 15 minutes, then they switch off automatically.
Door locking switches the lights off immediately (unless
the fuel cut off switch is operating).
