90 seconds after you turn the ignition
switch OFF. To turn the Automatic
System off, turn the headlight switch
clockwise to the O (Off) position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before
the headlights will come on in the
Automatic mode.HEADLIGHTS ON WITH
WIPERS (for versions/
markets, where provided)
When your headlights are in the Au-
tomatic mode and the engine is run-
ning, the headlights will automati-
cally turn on when the wiper system is
also turned on. Headlights on when
windshield wipers are on may be
found on vehicles equipped with an
automatic headlight system. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Customer-Programmable
Features” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion.

headlight illumination for up to
90 seconds after exiting your vehicle.
To activate the delay feature, turn
OFF the ignition switch while the
headlights are still on. Then turn off
the headlights within 45 seconds. The
90 second delay interval begins when
headlight switch is turned off. If theheadlights or parking lights are
turned back on or the ignition switch
is turned ON, the delay will be can-
celled.
When exiting the vehicle the driver
can choose to have the headlights re-
main on for 30, 60, or 90 seconds or
not remain on. To change the timer
setting, see your authorized dealer.
The headlight delay time is program-
mable on vehicles equipped with an
EVIC. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle In-
formation Center (EVIC)/Customer-
Programmable Features” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for

Broken, muddy or obstructed
headlights and taillights of ve-
hicles in the field of view will cause
headlights to remain on longer
(closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt,
film and other obstructions on the
windshield or camera lens will
cause the system to function im-
properly.
HEADLIGHT LEVELING
SYSTEM (for versions/
markets, where provided)
Your vehicle may be

AND WASHERS
The wipers and washers are operated
by a switch within the multifunction
lever. Rotate the end of the multifunc-
tion lever to select the desired wiper
speed.
NOTE:
Always remove any buildup of
snow that prevents the windshield
wiper blades from returning to the
off position. If the windshield
wiper switch is turned off and the
blades cannot return to the off po-
sition, damage to the wiper motor
may occur.
Washer And Wiper Controls
124

MIST, FRONT WIPER AND
WASHER
Use the Mist feature when weather
conditions make occasional usage of
the wipers necessary.
Press the end of the multifunction le-
ver inward (toward the steering col-
umn) to the first detent and release for
a single wiping cycle. To use the
Washer, push on the end of the lever to
the second detent and hold while
spray is desired. If the lever is pushed
while on the intermittent setting, the
wipers will turn on and operate for
several wipe cycles after the lever is
released, and then resume the inter-
mittent interval previously selected. If
the lever is pushed while the wipers
are in the off position, the wipers will
operate several wipe cycles, then turn
off.
INTERMITTENT, LOW AND
HIGH SPEED WIPERS
Rotate the end of the lever to one of
the first five detent positions for inter-
mittent wiper operation, the sixth de-tent for low wiper operation and the
seventh detent for high wiper opera-
tion.
Use one of the five intermittent wiper
settings when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable delay between cycles, desir-
able. At driving speeds above
16 km/h, the delay can be regulated
from a maximum of approximately
18 second between cycles (first de-
tent), to a cycle every one second
(fifth detent).
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving less than
16 km/h, delay times will be
doubled.
REAR WIPER AND
WASHER
Rotating the rotary ring to the first
detent activates the rear intermittent
wipers. To activate the washers, rotate
the rotary ring fully forward and the
washers will spray until the ring is
released, and then resume the inter-
mittent interval.NOTE:
Rear window wipers function in
the intermittent wiper speed only.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision.
You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden ic-
ing of the windshield during freezing
weather, warm the windshield with
defroster before and during wind-
shield washer use.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This feature senses moisture on the
windshield and automatically acti-
vates the wipers for the driver. This
feature is especially useful for road
splash or overspray from the wind-
shield washers of the vehicle ahead.
Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of the five intermittent
wiper sensitivity settings to activate
this feature.

The sensitivity of the system is adjust-
able from the multifunction lever.
Wiper sensitivity position 3 has been
calibrated for best overall wiping sen-
sitivity. If the operator desires more
wiping sensitivity, they may select
sensitivity positions 4 or 5. If the op-
erator desires less wiping sensitivity,
they may select sensitivity positions 2
or 1. Place the multifunction lever in
the OFF position when not using the
system.
NOTE:
 The Rain Sensing feature willnot operate when the wiper
speed is in the low or high posi-
tion.
 The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly when ice
or dried saltwater is present on
the windshield.
 Use of Rain­X® or products containing wax or silicone may
reduce rain sensor performance.
 The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off through the
EVIC (for versions/markets,
where provided). Refer to “Elec- tronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Personal Settings
(Customer-Programmable Fea-
tures)” in “Understanding Your

information.
The Rain Sensing system has protec-
tive features for the wiper blades and
arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:
 Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit
— The Rain Sensing feature will
not operate when the ignition is
first switched ON, and the vehicle is
stationary, and the outside tem-
perature is below 0°C, unless the
wiper control on the multifunction
lever is moved, or the vehicle speed
becomes greater than 0 km/h, or
the outside temperature rises above
freezing.
 Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain
Sensing feature will not operate
when the ignition is ON, and the
transmission shift lever is in the
NEUTRAL position, and the ve-
hicle speed is less than 8 km/h,
unless the wiper control on the mul- tifunction lever is moved or the
shift lever is moved out of the NEU-
TRAL position.
HEADLIGHT WASHER
(for versions/markets,

function lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.
To use the headlight washers, push
the multifunction lever inward (to-
ward the steering column) to the sec-
ond detent and release it. The head-
light washers will spray a timed high-
pressure spray of washer fluid onto
each headlight lens. In addition, the
windshield washers will spray the
windshield and the windshield wipers
will cycle.

CAUTION!
Car maintenance should be done at
a LANCIA Dealership. For routine
and minor maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, we do
recommend you have the proper
equipment, genuine LANCIA spare
parts and the necessary fluids; do
not however carry out these opera-
tions if you have no experience.
WINDSHIELD WIPER
BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield periodi-
cally with a sponge or soft cloth and a
mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will
remove accumulations of salt or road
film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass
for long periods may cause deteriora-
tion of the wiper blades. Always use
washer fluid when using the wipers to
remove salt or dirt from a dry wind-
shield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to re-
move frost or ice from the windshield.
Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as en-
gine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades
varies depending on geographical
area and frequency of use. Ex-
amples of poor blade performance
include chattering, marks, water
lines, and wet spots. If any of these
conditions are present, clean the
wiper blades or replace as neces-
sary.
Adding Washer Fluid
The windshield, rear window, and
headlamp washers share a common
fluid reservoir. It is located in the en-
gine compartment and should be
checked at regular intervals. Fill the
reservoir with windshield washer sol-
vent (not radiator antifreeze) and op-
erate the system for a few seconds to
flush out any residual water.
When refilling the washer fluid reser-
voir, apply some washer fluid to a
cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade per-
formance.
To prevent freeze-up of your wind-
shield washer system in cold weather,
select a solution or mixture that meets
or exceeds the temperature range of
your climate. This rating information
can be found on most washer fluid
containers.
The washer fluid reservoir will hold
4 Liters of fluid when the Low Washer
Fluid Light illuminates.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield
washer solvents are flammable.
They could ignite and burn you.
Care must be exercised when filling
or working around the washer solu-
tion.
After the engine has warmed, operate
the defroster for a few minutes to re-
duce the possibility of smearing or
freezing the fluid on the cold wind-
shield. Use All Weather Windshield
Washer Solution or equivalent, used
with water as directed on the con-
tainer, aids cleaning action, reduces
the freezing point to avoid line clog-
ging, and is not harmful to paint or
trim.
