ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
Dipped headlights are adjusted to drive in the country
where the vehicle wa s originally purchased. When trav-
elling in countrie s with oppos ite driving direction, to avoid
dazzling the drivers on the other side of the road, y ou need
to cover area s of the headlight according to the Highwa y
code of the countr y y ou are travelling in.
ADAPTIVE LIGHTS (AFS - Adaptive Xenon Lig ht)
This is a system combined with Xenon headlight s which
directs the main light beam and continuous ly 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 bes t way, taking into account
the speed of the vehicle, the bend/corner angle and the
s peed of s teering. Activating
/deactivating the system fig . 70
The adaptive light s are automaticall y activated when the
car is s tarted. In this s ituation the LED (amber) on but-
ton A will r

emain off.

DRIVING ADVISOR
(Lane crossing warning )
(for versions/markets , where provided)
The Driving Advisor is a warnin g s ystem which no-
tifies the driver if they cross lanes, assisting the dri-
ver when distracted.
A video s ensor, fitted on the winds creen near the interior
rear view mirror, detect s the lane demarcation line s and
the pos ition of the car in relation to them.
IMPORTANT On cars with Driving Advisor, it is advisable
to contact a Lancia Dealer ship should the winds creen need
to be replaced. If the repair i s being carried out at a spe-
cialis t window replacement centre, it i s s till necessary to
go to a Lancia Dealer ship to have the TV camera cali-
brated.
System failure
In the event of a malfunction, the
system notifies the dri-
ver of the fault via a dedicated message in the reconfig-
urable multifunction di splay instrument panel and the
amber isymbol coming on.
In this case, go to a Lancia Dealer ship.

DEACTIVATING THE S YSTEM
Manual mode
The system can be deactivated b y pressing button A - fig.
73 in the das hboard.
Confirmation that the system has been switched off is giv-
en by the LED in the button and the message 1 - fig.74
in the dis play going out.
S
Y STEM AC TIVATION/DEAC TIVATION
With the system on, if the vehicle approaches one of the
lines defining the s ide of the lane, a torque is applied to
the steering wheel to let the driver know which direction
to steer in order to s tay within the lane. If the driver turn s
on the direction indicator in order to change lane s or for
overtaking, then the system will s witch off momentarily.
If the driver wi shes to change lanes without turning the
direction indicator on, then there will be a warning from
the steering wheel that the y are about to cross the line.
If the driver continues with the manoeuvre to change lane s,
the system will be temporaril y deactivated and then switch
back on again once it ha s r

ecognized the new driving lane.
The driver i s advis ed of this temporary deactivation b y the
flas hing of the LED on the button and the fla shing of the
eamber symbol on the di splay .
IMPORTANT The force applied to the steering wheel by
the system is s ufficient for the driver to notice it but they
can eas ily override it and maintain control of the vehicle.

ADVANCED ESP SYSTEM
(ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAM)
This is an electronic system controlling car s tability in the
event of ty re grip loss, helping to maintain directional con-
trol.
The Advanced E SP system is therefore particularly use-
ful when road surface grip condition s change.
With the Advanced E SP system as well as the ASR (trac-
tion control with intervention on the brake s and the en-
gine) plus the HILL HOLDER (device for hill starts with-
out us ing the brakes ) and also MSR (adjus tment of engine
braking force with gear down shift), HBA (automatic in-
creas e in braking pressure during emergency braking),
ABS (preventing the wheel s from locking and slipping on
all road s urfaces during s harp braking and D ST (appli-
cation of force on the steering wheel for steering correc-
tion) functions are all available. S
Y STEM INTERVENTION
This is s ignalled b y the blinking of the á warning light on
the ins trument panel, to inform the driver that the car i s
in critical s tability and grip condition s.
S witching the system on
The Advanced ES P system comes on automaticall y when
the vehicle is started and cannot be turned off.
Fault indications
In the event of a failur

e, the Advanced ES P system will be
automaticall y s witched off and á warning light will ap-
pear cons tantly in the ins trument panel along with a me s-
s age on the reconfigurable multifunction di splay . The LED
on the AS R OFF button will als o light up (see “Instrument
panel warning light s” chapter). In thi s cas e, go to a Lan-
cia Dealers hip.
The performance of the Advanced ESP sys-
tem should not encourage the driver to take
unnecessary risks. Driving style must always
be adapted to road conditions, visibility and traf-
fic. The driver is ultimately responsible for road
safety.

Fault indications
System failure is indicated by the
áwarning light light-
ing up in the in strument panel together with a dedicated
message appearing in the reconfigurable multifunction di s-
play ; see “Ins trument panel warning light s” chapter.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake; therefore, never leave the vehicle without having
engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off engaged the
firs t gear.
The Advanced ESP system continues to op-
erate if the space-saver wheel is fitted. Al-
ways remember that the space-saver wheel,
being smaller than the original wheel provides less
grip.
For the correct operation of the Advanced ESP and
ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be the same
make and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions
and, above all, of the type, make and size speci-
fied.
HILL HOLDER S YSTEM
This is an integral part of the Advanced E SP system and
automaticall y cuts in in the following condition s:
❍ uphill: car at a s tandstill on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake ped-
al pressed, gearbox in neutral or engaged gear other
than revers e.
❍ downhill: car at a stands till on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake ped-
al pressed and revers e gear engaged.
During take off the Advanced E SP system control unit
maintains the braking pressure at the wheel s until the en-
gine torque required for departure i s reached or for a max-
imum of 2 seconds , allowing your right foot to be moved
eas ily from the brake pedal to the accelerator.
When two s econds have elaps ed, without starting, the sys-
tem is automaticall y deactivated, graduall y releas ing the
braking pressure. During thi s releas e stage it is possible to
hear a ty pical mechanical brake r

elea se nois e, indicating
the imminent move of the car.

EBD failure
This is s ignalled by the >andxwarning light s on the
ins trument panel coming on, together with a me ssage on
the reconfigurable multifunction di splay . In this case, the
rear wheels may s uddenly lock and the vehicle ma y s werve
when braking s harply.
Therefore, drive very cautiously to the neares t Lancia
Dealers hip to have the system checked.
If only xwarning light on the instrument
panel comes on, with a message in the re-
configurable multifunction display, stop the
car immediately and contact the nearest Lancia
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic fluid from the
braking system will compromise the operation of
the braking system, whether it is of the convention-
al type or with ABS.
FAULT INDIC AT I O NS
ABS failure
This is s ignalled by the >warning light in the in strument
panel coming on together with a message in the recon-
figurable multifunction di splay . In this case, the braking
system will still be effective, although without the extra
capacity offered by the ABS. Drive carefully to the near-
e st Lancia Dealer ship to have the system checked.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis ) car-
ries out a continuou s diagno sis of the components of the
car related to emissions . It also alerts the driver, by turn-
ing on the
Uwarning light in the ins trument panel to-
gether with a message in the reconfigurable multifunction
dis play , when thes e components are no longer in peak con-
dition (s ee “Instrument panel warning light s” paragraph).
The goal of the system is to:
❍ to keep system efficiency under control;
❍ to signal a fault which caus es emission level s to in-
creas e;
❍ to signal the need to replace deteriorated component s.
The system als o has a connector that can be interfaced
with appropriate equipment, which makes it possible to
read the error code s s tored in the control unit together with
a series of specific parameter s for engine operation and
diagnos is .
This check can al so be carried out b y traffic control au-
thorities . IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to check the
system completely
, Lancia Dealerships run a bench tes t
and, if necessary , r

oad tes ts which may also call for a long
journey .
