passengers are not liable to injury
either directly by the movement of
the sunroof or by personal effects
being dragged along or knocked
by the roof.
Always remove the igni-
tion key when getting out
of the car to make sure
that the sunroof cannot be acci-
dentally operated and constitute a
hazard for passengers remaining
in the car.

BOOT
OPENING/CLOSING
THE TAILGATE
To open the boot from the outside,
unlock it with the ignition key A
(fig. 72).
To open it from inside the car, pull
leverA (fig. 73)at the side of the dri-
ver’s seat.
To lift the tailgate, use the grip lo-
cated between the two number plate
lights.When the tailgate is closed, it will
lock automatically, and can only be
reopened by using the key or pulling
leverA (fig. 73)inside the car.
IMPORTANTNever leave the keys
in the boot.
Use the handle situated in the inte-
rior trim of the tailgate A (fig. 74)to
lower it without getting your hands
dirty.
To close the tailgate, lower it and
press in the centre until you hear it
lock.

Do not work boot release
lever when the car is in
motion.
The addition of objects to
the rear parcel shelf or
tailgate (loudspeakers,
spoiler, etc.) may prevent the gas-
filled struts at the sides of the tail-
gate working properly. Items
arranged on the rear window shelf
could be thrown forwards and in-
jure passengers should you brake
sharply.
fig. 74
P4C00037
When using the boot,
make sure the load you are
carrying does not exceed
the permitted weight (see the
“Technical specifications” sec-
tion). Also ensure the items in the
boot are arranged properly to pre-
vent them being thrown forward
and injurying passengers should
you brake sharply.

2)Tip back the cushion while hold-
ing up the ends of the seat belts
(tongues and buckles) and passing
them between cushion and seat back.
In this way, the seat belts will be im-
mediately ready to be used.
Some versions fit a split rear seat. In
this case, the left-hand side and the
right-hand side of the seat can be
tipped separately.IMPORTANTWhen driving at
night with a load in the boot, adjust
the height of the dipped headlight
beam as shown in “Headlights” in
this chapter.
For correct adjustment, make sure
the load does not exceed the values in-
dicated in the relevant section.

If the backrest is not fas-
tened properly, heavy
loose luggage behind it
could cause serious harm to pas-
sengers in the event of an accident.If you wish to carry a re-
serve can of petrol, it is
important to comply to the
laws in force. Use only a homolo-
gated can and fasten it securely.
Even so, there is a greater fire risk
in the event of an accident.
BONNET
To open the bonnet:
1)Pull lever A (fig. 80)(red) in the
direction of the arrow. This lever has
been positioned against the bulkhead
to prevent accidental opening.
fig. 80
P4C00001
This should be done only
when the car is stationary.
Before opening the bon-
net, check the windscreen wiper
arms are not lifted from the wind-
screen.

SKI AND
ROOF RACKS
ANCHORAGE HOOKS
POSITIONING
The hooks can be reached by slightly
moving the door seal in the points in-
dicated in (fig. 83).
Fix the ski/roof rack attachments to
the front hook-up pins A.
The rear part of the ski/roof rack
should be attached to the edge of the
roof where the symbol
Vis to be
found on the windows.At this point, we should like to re-
mind you that the Lineaccessori LAN-
CIA range includes a ski/roof rack
that has been specifically designed for
the Lancia Y.
fig. 83
P4C00104
After travelling a few
miles, check the anchorage
bolts of the attachments
are still fully tightened.
Never load the rack with
more than the weight al-
lowed (see the “Technical
specifications” section).
Take care not to knock
the objects on the roof
rack when opening the
boot tailgate.
HEADLIGHTS
CORRECT POSITIONING
OF THE HEADLIGHT BEAMS
The correct positioning of the head-
light beams is very important for the
comfort and safety, not only of the
person driving the car, but also all
other road users.
This is also covered by a specific law.
To ensure you and other drivers
have the best visibility conditions
when travelling with the headlights
on, the headlights must be set pro-
perly.
Have the headlight position checked
at a LANCIA Dealershipand ad-
justed if necessary.

ABS
The car is fitted with an ABS brak-
ing system that prevents the wheels
locking when braking, it exploits the
grip on the road surface holding the
car in the case of sudden braking.
The driver becomes aware of the
ABS activation through a slight throb-
bing of the brake pedal and the rele-
vant noise it makes.
This does not indicate brake mal-
functioning, it is an indication to the
driver that the ABS is operating. It is
a warning that the car is travelling at
borderline road grip and therefore the
speed should be adjusted to the type
of road surface.
The ABS is an addition to the basic
braking system; in the case of a fail-
ure it disables, leaving the braking
system in the same conditions as a ve-
hicle without ABS installed. COMPENSATION
FOR THE UPWARD SLANT
OF THE HEADLIGHT BEAMS
When the car is loaded, it “slopes”
backwards. This means that the head-
light beam rises. In this case it is nec-
essary to return it to the correct posi-
tion.
The car is fitted with an electric ad-
juster(fig. 84)situated at the side of
the handbrake:
Position0- one or two people on the
front seats.
Position1- five people.
Position2- five people + load in
luggage compartment.
Position3- driver + maximum per-
missible load all in the boot.
fig. 84
P4C00105
Check the positioning of
the headlight beams every
time you change the load
to be carried.
IMPORTANTIn order that the ad-
juster operates properly, the load in
the boot must not exceed the maxi-
mum values indicated.
ADJUSTING THE BEAM
OF THE FRONT FOGLIGHTS
Ask a LANCIA Dealershipto check
and, if necessary, adjust the beam for
you.
