For countries that drive on the oppo-
site side of the road, in order not to
dazzle vehicles coming in the opposite
direction, it is essential to darken the
areas of the headlight according to the
instructions/measurements shown in
the figure; to do this, a non-transpar-
ent sticker is required. The illustra-
tions refer to the changeover from
left-hand drive to right-hand drive. Aiming the headlights fig. 115
To adjust, press buttons

sons + luggage in the boot – Position
3- driver + maximum admissible
load all stored in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming
every time the load carried changes.

pends on the country where the car is
purchased.
HEADLIGHTS
BEAM DIRECTION
Correction direction of the headlights
is essential for the comfort and safety
of the driver and the other road users.
The headlights must be correctly di-
rected to ensure the best visibility con-
ditions when the headlights are on.
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have
the headlights properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device works with the key at
MARand the dipped beam headlights
on. The car will slant backwards
when it is loaded, raising the light
beam. The beams must therefore be
directed again in this case.
Do not activate the sun roof
when roof bars are fitted.

ABS SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an ABS braking
system, which prevents the wheels
from locking when braking, makes
the most of road grip and gives the
best control when emergency braking
under difficult road conditions.
The system is completed by EBD
(Electronic Braking Force Distribu-
tion), which distributes the braking
action between front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To achieve maximum
efficiency of the braking system, a
running in period of about 500 km is
required: during this time, avoid sud-
den, repeated and prolonged braking.SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by
a slight pulsing of the brake pedal ac-
companied by noise: such an event in-
dicates that you need to adjust your
speed to the type of road on which
you are travelling.
When the ABS intervenes it means
that you are approaching the grip
limit between tyres and road: slow
down to exploit all the available grip.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
It is indicated by the turning on of
warning light >on the instrument
panel together with the message
(where provided) shown on the re-
configurable multifunctional display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In the case, the braking system will
work as normal without the extra po-
tentials offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.When the ABS intervenes
it means that you are ap-
proaching the grip limit between
tyres and road: it is necessary to
slow down to adjust the speed ac-
cording to available grip.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre
road grip to the full, but it
cannot improve it; you should
therefore exercise great caution
when driving on slippery surfaces
without taking unnecessary risks.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuous
diagnosis of the components of the car
correlated with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on
the warning light
Uon the instru-
ment panel (together with relevant
message on the multifunction display,
where provided) (see section “Warn-
ing lights and messages”), when these
components are no longer in peak
conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency un-
der control;
❒to warn when a fault causes emis-
sion levels to increase;
❒to signal the need to replace worn
components. EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turn-
ing on warning lights >andxon
the instrument panel, together with
the message (where provided) shown
on the multifunctional display (see
section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may sud-
denly lock and the car may swerve.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.
When the ABS intervenes,
a slight pulsing of the
brake pedal is felt. Do not lessen
the pressure of your foot on the
pedal; maintain pressure on the
brake without hesitation; this will
ensure that you stop in the shortest
possible space allowed by the road
conditions.
WARNING
If the warning lightxon
the instrument panel goes
on (and a message, were provided,
is shown in the multifunctional
display), stop the car immediately
and contact your nearest Lancia
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic
fluid from the braking system will
compromise functionality of the
braking system, either of the con-
ventional type or with ABS.

The system also has a diagnostic con-
nector that can be interfaced with ap-
propriate tools, which makes it possi-
ble to read the error codes stored in
the control unit, together with a series
of specific parameters for engine op-
eration and diagnosis. This check can
also be carried out by the traffic po-
lice.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the
problem, to check the system com-
pletely, Lancia Dealerships are obliged
to run a bench test and, if necessary,
road tests which may also call for a
long journey.Sound system installation
The sound system shall be installed in
the space occupied by the central odd-
ment compartment, here you will find
the preset cables. To remove the odd-
ment compartment press the retain-
ing devices in the points shown in the

ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY
THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to
install electrical accessories that re-
quire a permanent electric supply
(sound system, satellite antitheft sys-
tem, etc.) or accessories that in any
case burden the electric supply, con-
tact a Lancia Dealership, whose qual-
ified personnel, besides suggesting the
most suitable devices belonging to
Lineaccessori Lancia, will also evalu-
ate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric
system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be in-
tegrated with a more powerful bat-
tery. SET-UP FOR MOBILE PHONE
(where provided)
The combined mobile phone and CD
or CD MP3 sound system set-up con-
sists of:
❒dual function antenna (sound sys-
tem + mobile telephone 900/1800
MHz), located on the roof of the
car;
❒connecting wires to the dual func-
tion antenna and wiring with 10-
way connector.
The connector is located between the
steering column and the central box.
The Customer is responsi-
ble for the purchasing of the
hands-free kit as it must be
compatible with his/her
own mobile phone. It is advisable to
install the microphone near to the
front light.
The maximum power ap-
plicable to the antenna is
20W.
WARNING
For the installation of the
mobile phone and its con-
nection to the set-up existing in the
car, contact a Lancia Dealership so
as to provide for any possible
problems that could damage the
safety of the car.
WARNING
Be very careful when fit-
ting non-standard addi-
tional spoilers, light alloy wheels
or wheel caps: they could reduce
brake ventilation and consequently
brake efficiency in the case of re-
peated, violent braking or on long
downhill roads. Ensure that noth-
ing (e.g. rubber mats) obstructs the
stroke of the pedals.

ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICE INSTALLATION
The electric/electronic devices in-
stalled subsequent to the purchase of
the car and included in the after-sales
service must be marked:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the in-
stallation of transceiver devices on
condition that such installations are
carried out in a workmanlike fashion,
following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, at a specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road in the event
of assembly of devices which imply
modifications to the features of the
car. This may also cause lapse of war-
ranty in relation to faults caused by
the change or either directly or indi-
rectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for
damage caused by the installation of
accessories either not supplied or rec-
ommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A.
and/or installed in compliance with
the provided instructions.“DUALDRIVE”
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electri-
cally controlled power steering system
called “Dualdrive” working only with
ignition key at MARand engine run-
ning, that can be customised by the
driver according to the driving condi-
tions.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To enable/disable the function, press
the button fig. 119located on the
central area of the instrument dash-
board.
The enabling of the function is sig-
nalled by the displaying of the word
CITY on the multifunctional display.
With CITY function on, wheel effort
is lighter, easing parking manoeuvres:
The function is particularly helpful
while driving in city centres. TRANSCEIVERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-
tacs mobile phones, HAM radio sys-
tems and the like) shall not be used
inside the car unless a separate aerial
is mounted on the roof.
The use of similar devices inside the
passenger compartment (without sep-
arate aerial) produces radio-frequency
electromagnetic fields which, ampli-
fied by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause
electrical systems equipping the car to
malfunction. This could compromise
safety in addition to constituting a po-
tential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and recep-
tion of these devices may be affected
by the shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly
comply with the instructions for use
provided by the mobile phone’s man-
ufacturer.
