ning 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. In addition, the head-
lights will turn off when the wipers are
turned off if they were turned on by
this feature. 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 DELAY (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
This feature provides the safety of
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 head-
lights within 45 seconds. The 90 sec-
ond delay interval begins when head-
light switch is turned off. If the
headlights or parking lights are turned
back on or the ignition switch is turned
ON, the delay will be cancelled.
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
further information.If the headlights are turned off before
the ignition, they will turn off in the
normal manner.
NOTE: The headlights must be
turned off within 45 seconds of
turning the ignition OFF to activate
this feature.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS
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 re-
turning to the off position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned
off and the blades cannot return to
the off position, damage to the
wiper motor may occur.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through
the windshield could lead to a col-
lision. You might not see other ve-
hicles or other obstacles. To avoid
sudden icing of the windshield dur-
ing freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster be-
fore and during windshield washer
use.
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 lever
inward (toward the steering column) 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 in-
termittent setting, the wipers will turn
on and operate for several wipe cycles
after the lever is released, and then
resume the intermittent interval previ-
ously 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 col-
lision. You might not see other ve-
hicles or other obstacles. To avoid
sudden icing of the windshield dur-
ing freezing weather, warm the
windshield with defroster before
and during windshield 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.

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 morewiping 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 will
not 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 products containing wax or silicone may reduce rain sen-
sor 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

grease should be removed. Particular
attention should also be given to hood
latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other un-
derhood services, the hood latch, re-
lease mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be
lubricated twice a year, preferably in
the Fall and Spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant
directly into the lock cylinder.
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 geo-
graphical area and frequency of
use. Examples of poor blade per-
formance include chattering,
marks, water lines, and wet spots.If any of these conditions are pres-
ent, clean the wiper blades or re-
place as necessary.
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.
