AUTOCLOSE FUNCTION
(AUTOMATIC LOCKING
WITH KEYLESS SYSTEM
RECOGNITION SYSTEM)
On versions equipped with Keyless
System, the “Autoclose” function
can be actuated/deactivated through
the CONNECT settings. This func-
tion makes it possible to automati-
cally lock the boot and doors when
the CID device is taken away from
the car.
When leaving the car, if one or
more doors are not closed correctly,
the car will remain open and a fur-
ther beep will sound to indicate that
the locks have not been locked.
The “Autoclose” functions actuates
neither the alarm system nor the
door deadlock device (refer to the
contents of the relevant paragraph).
In any case, these functions can be
actuated by means of the remote
control.LOCK RELEASE IN CASE OF
ACCIDENT
In case of collision with actuation
of the inertia switch, the door locks
are automatically released to allows
rescuers to get access to the passen-
ger compartment.In any case, door open-
ing from the outside
depends on the door con-
ditions after the collision:
deformed doors cannot very often
be opened even if the lock is
released. In such a case, try to
open the other doors.
INITIALISING THE DOOR
LOCKING CONTROL UNIT
Whenever the battery is electrically
connected again or it is reloaded
after being completely flat or after
replacing one of the protection fuses,
to restore the correct operation of
the door locking, of air conditioning
and of ESP system, it is necessary to
perform the initialisation operations
contained in the paragraph “If bat-
tery is to be disconnected” in the
chapter “In an emergency”. The external mechanical
connections are active
only when the doors are
unlocked.
In the event that the driver has
actuated central locking from the
inside and, after a collision, the
inertia switch has not actuated
the automatic door unlocking
function due to the loss of or
damage to the battery, access to
the passenger compartment will
not be possible from the outside.

If these rules are not
respected, the automatic
gearbox might be severely
damaged.
The car can be towed only for
short distances and at a low
speed: if it is necessary to tow it
for a longer distance, raise the
driving wheels so that the gear-
box is not dragged during towing. TOWING THE CAR
IMPORTANTTo tow the car
observe local current laws and fol-
low the instructions contained in
chapter “In an emergency”.
If the car must be towed, observe
the following precautions:
– if possible, transfer the car on a
towtruck
– otherwise, tow the car by raising
the front driving wheels
– even if the latter solution is not
possible, the car can be towed for
less than 50 Km at a speed of 50
km/h.
Towing shall be performed with
gear lever to N.Before starting towing,
disengage the parking
brake as described in the
relevant paragraph and leave the
Keyless System CID (if any) in the
passenger’s compartment to pre-
vent automatic steering lock. Do
not tow the car with the engine
running.
ESP AND ASR
SYSTEMS
ESP SYSTEM (ELECTRONIC
STABILITY PROGRAM):
GENERAL
ESP is an electronic system con-
trolling the car stability which
affects the driving torque and brakes
the wheels in a different way in case
of grip loss, thus making the car
recover the right driving direction.
During driving the car is subject to
side and longitudinal forces which
can be controlled by the driver until
tire grip is acceptable. When the lat-
ter is lower than the minimum level,
the car starts skidding.
If the road bed is uneven (bumpy
road, presence of ice, mould, etc.)
tyre grip is considerably reduced. In
these conditions, when extreme
manoeuvres are made, the car might
start skidding.

To switch the courtesy lights on
and off, press the respective buttons
B. The courtesy lights will automat-
ically go out after about 15 minutes
after shutting the engine off (by
turning the key to STOP).
The central ceiling light will switch
on automatically, together with the
rear ceiling light, when a door is
opened. The ceiling lights will go out
after about 3 minutes if one or sever-
al doors remain open or if the doors
are closed beforehand, after about 10
seconds after the last door has been
closed or at doors locking.
If a door is left open, the ceiling
lights will automatically go out
after about 3 minutes. To switch
them on again, it is enough to open
and close a door.
Ceiling lights come on (for about 10
seconds) when removing the ignition
key (knob to STOPon cars fitted
with Keyless System) and operating
the central door opening with the
remote control.
In case of collision with actuation
of the inertial switch, the ceiling
lights will automatically light up for
about 15 minutes.REAR CEILING LIGHT
(fig. 160)
This ceiling light includes a central
light and two courtesy lights.
The central light will switch on and
off gradually, together with the front
ceiling light.
To switch the central light on man-
ually, press button A; to switch it
off, press the same button again.
To switch the courtesy lights on
and off, press the respective buttons
B. The courtesy lights will automat-
ically go out after about 15 minutes
after the engine has been shut off
(by turning the key to STOP).DOOR PUDDLE LIGHTS
(fig. 161)
A light is provided in the lower part
of the door panel, to illuminate the
area through which passengers get
into and out of the car.
This light will automatically light
up when the door is opened, regard-
less of the ignition key position.
With the door open, the light stays
on for about 3 minutes, then it goes
off automatically.

The sunroof must not be
opened in the presence of
snow or ice; otherwise, it
could be damaged.
IMPORTANTOn versions fitted
with the Keyless System, do not lay
the CID device outside the car on the
sunroof, to avoid a fake identifica-
tion of the CID itself as if inside the
car.SUNROOF OPENING/CLOSING
AND PIVOTING
All the sunroof functions (opening,
closing and rear pivoting) are con-
trolled by selector A(fig. 184).
Six positions for lenghtwise open-
ing and three for pivoting are pro-
vided (fig. 185).
After rotating the selector, the sun-
roof will move and stop automatical-
ly in the required position.
When the sunroof is opened, a
deflectorA(fig. 186) will automati-
cally lift in the front part, which
deviates the air flow.

Improper use of the sun-
roof can in any case be
dangerous, even if the
anti-trap safety system is avail-
able. Before and during sunroof
actuation, make sure that pas-
sengers are not exposed to the
risk of injuries caused by the
moving roof or by objects pulled
or hit by the roof itself. Always
remove the ignition key when you
leave your car, to prevent the
sunroof from being unintention-
ally actuated, which could be
dangerous for the passengers
inside the car.

Before towing the car,
disengage the parking
brake by following the
instructions described in the rel-
evant paragraph, and leave the
Keyless System CID device (if
provided) inside the passenger
compartment, to avoid automatic
steering column lock. Do not tow
the car with the engine running. Before starting to tow,
turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP.
Do not remove the key. If the key
is removed, the steering lock
engages automatically which pre-
vents the wheels being turned.
Disengage the handbrake. While
the car is being towed with the
engine off, remember that the
brake pedal and steering will
require more effort as you no
longer have the benefit of the
brake booster and power steer-
ing. Do not use flexible cables to
tow. Avoid jerking. Whilst tow-
ing, ensure that the coupling to
the car does not damage the sur-
rounding components. When
towing, you must comply with the
specific traffic regulations
regarding the tow ring and how to
tow on the road.IMPORTANTFor versions with
automatic gearbox, check that the
selector is in neutral (selector to N),
that the car is moving because
pushed and act as for towing a car
with the manual gearbox, following
the above mentioned procedure.
If you cannot set the gear lever to
neutral, do not tow the car but con-
tact a Lancia Dealership.IMPORTANTOn versions fitted
with an identification system (Keyless
System), user is not authorised to
move the car unless the start-up knob
is turned to the position MAR. Should
it be necessary to tow the car, it is ad-
vised to turn the knob to position
MARbefore moving the car.

Detergents pollute water.
For this reason the car
must be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.TIPS FOR KEEPING THE BODY
IN GOOD CONDITIONS
Paintwork
The paintwork is not only to make
your car look attractive but also to
protect the steel.
If the paint is scuffed or scratched
deeply you are therefore advised to
touch up as necessary to prevent rust
from forming.
Only use genuine products when
touching up the paintwork (see
“Bodywork paint identification
plate” in chapter “Technical
Specifications”).
Ordinary maintenance of the
paintwork means washing it. The
frequency you should do this
depends on the conditions and the
environment the car is driven in. For
example, you should wash your car
more often if it is driven in areas
with a high level of air pollution or
on road sprinkled with saltwash.Before leaving your car
into the automatic car-
wash tunnel, disengage
the parking brake following the
instructions given in the relevant
paragraph, and leave the Keyless
System CID (where fitted) in the
car to prevent automatic steering
locking.Before cleaning the
windscreen (e.g. at filling
stations), make sure to
have deactivated the rain sensor
and turned the ignition key to
STOP. Deactivate the rain sensor
also when washing your car man-
ually or at automatic carwash.
