Lane change function
If you wish to signal a lane change, put the left
stalk in the unstable position for less than half a
second. The direction indicator on the selected
side flashes three times and then switches off
automatically.
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This allows the space in front of the car to be lit
up for a certain period of time.
Activation:with the ignition key on STOP or
removed, pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
within 2 minutes from when the engine is turned
off.
At each single movement of the stalk, the lights
will remain on for an extra 30 seconds up to a
maximum of 210 seconds; then the lights are
switched off automatically.
Each time the stalk is operated, the
warning
light on the instrument panel switches on and the
display also shows a message and how long the
function will remain active.
The
warning light switches on when the stalk
is first moved and stays on until the function is
automatically deactivated. Each time the stalk is
activated it increases the time that the lights
remain on.
Deactivation:keep the stalk pulled towards the
steering wheel for more than two seconds.EXTERNAL COURTESY LIGHTS
This function lights up the car and the space
around it when the doors are unlocked.
Activation:when the car is parked and the doors
are unlocked by pressing the
button on the
remote control (or the luggage compartment is
unlocked by pressing
), the dipped beam
headlights, side lights and number plate lights are
activated.
The lights remain lit for approximately 25 seconds
unless the doors and boot are locked again with
the remote control or the doors or boot are opened
and reclosed. In these cases they go out after 5
seconds.
The exterior courtesy lights can be enabled/
disabled using the Setup Menu (see the paragraph
“Menu Items” in this chapter).

Deactivation
If the engine is stopped with ring nut A in
"automatic" position (AUTO), no wiping cycle is
performed when it is next started even if rain is
present. This prevents accidental activation of the
rain sensor when the engine is started (e.g. when
the windscreen is being washed by hand or the
wipers are stuck to the windscreen by ice).
To restore automatic operation of the rain sensor,
turn ring nut A from "automatic" position
(AUTO) toOposition and then turn the ring nut
back to the AUTO position.
When the rain sensor is reactivated using any of
the manoeuvres described above, reactivation
is indicated by a single stroke of the windscreen
wipers, regardless of the condition of the
windscreen. If the sensitivity is changed whilst the
rain sensor is operating, a windscreen wiper stroke
is carried out to confirm the change.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor
whilst it is active, the windscreen wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of
whether there is rain on the glass (on some
versions sensor failure is indicated on the display).
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible
to set the windscreen wiper to continuous mode
(1
stor 2
nd
speed). The failure indication remains
for as long as the sensor is active.
The rain sensor is able to recognise, and
automatically adjust itself in the presence of the
following conditions:❒presence of dirt on the controlled surface (salt,
dirt, etc.);
❒presence of streaks of water caused by the worn
window wiper blades;
❒difference between day and night.
Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car
wash.Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
WARNING
Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.

CRUISE CONTROL(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance device which allows the car to be driven
at a chosen speed above 30 km/h on long
stretches of dry, straight roads with few variations
(e.g. motorways), without having to depress the
accelerator pedal.
The use of this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic is not therefore recommended. Do not
use the device in town.
Activating the device
Turn ring nut A fig. 37 to ON. Activation is
indicated by the
warning light switching on
and, on some versions, by a message on the
display.The speed adjustment function cannot be
activated in 1
stor reverse gear; it is advisable to
activate the function in 4
th
or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device active,
the car speed may slightly exceed the stored one.
Storing car speed
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A fig. 37 to ON and press the
accelerator pedal so that the car reaches the
desired speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one
second, then release it: the speed is memorised
and you can therefore release the accelerator
pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can
accelerate simply by depressing the accelerator
pedal: when you release the pedal, the car goes
back to the speed stored previously.

When the ECO function is activated, the car is set
for city driving, characterised by less effort on
the steering wheel (Dualdrive system on) and
reduced fuel consumption.
When this function is activated, the word ECO on
the display will light up on some versions.
This function stays in the memory, so when the
vehicle is started again, the system keeps the
setting it had before the engine was stopped. Press
the ECO button again to deactivate the function
and restore the normal driving setting.
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This intervenes in the event of an impact causing:
❒the interruption of the fuel supply with the
engine consequently cutting out
❒the automatic unlocking of the doors
❒the automatic switching on of the interior lights
❒the switching on of the hazard warning lights.
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the car for fuel
leaks, for instance in the engine compartment,
under the car or near the tank area. After a
collision, turn the ignition key to STOP to prevent
the battery from running down.
To restore the correct operation of the car, proceed
as follows:
❒turn the ignition key to the MAR position;❒activate the right direction indicator;
❒deactivate the right direction indicator;
❒activate the left direction indicator;
❒deactivate the left direction indicator;
❒activate the right direction indicator;

HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct alignment of the headlights is
important for the comfort and safety of not only
the driver but all other road users. This is also
covered by a specific rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aimed to
guarantee the best visibility conditions for all
drivers while travelling with headlights on.
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the
headlights properly adjusted.
Check beam alignment every time the load or its
distribution changes.
IMPORTANT When the gas discharge (Xenon)
headlamps (for versions/markets, where provided)
are switched on, normally parabolas and light
beam move vertically for about 2 seconds until
headlamp alignment has stabilised.
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the
MAR position and the dipped headlights on.
Headlight alignment adjustment
Press the
or
buttons to adjust fig. 69. The
instrument panel display shows the position in
relation to the adjustment set.
Position 0 - one or two persons on the front seats
Position1-4personsPosition2-4persons + load in the luggage
compartment
Position 3 - driver + maximum admissible load all
stored in the luggage compartment.
IMPORTANT Check alignment every time the
load carried changes.
IMPORTANT If the car is equipped with (Xenon)
gas discharge headlights, the headlight alignment
is controlled electronically, as a consequence the
and
buttons are not present.

When setting off, the ESC system control unit
maintains braking pressure on the wheels until the
torque required for starting is reach or, in any
case, for a maximum of 2 seconds so that the right
foot can be moved easily from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
When 2 seconds have elapsed, without any
departure having taken place, the system is
automatically deactivated, gradually releasing the
braking pressure. During this release stage, a
typical mechanical brake release noise can
be heard, indicating that the car is about to move.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a
parking brake, therefore do not leave the vehicle
without activating the handbrake, switching
off the engine and engaging first gear.
ASR SYSTEM (AntiSlip Regulation)
It is an integral part of the ESC system. It
automatically operates in the event of one or both
drive wheels slipping, loss of grip on wet roads
(aquaplaning) and acceleration on slippery, snowy
or icy roads, etc…
Depending on the slipping conditions, two
different control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the
ASR intervenes reducing the power transmitted
by the engine;
❒if the slipping only involves one of the drive
wheels, it intervenes automatically braking
the wheel that is slipping.Activation/deactivation of the ASR system
The ASR system activates automatically each time
the engine is started.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be deactivated and
subsequently activated again by pressing the ASR
OFF button fig. 70.
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display.
When the system is not active, the LED on the
button ASR OFF turns on and, on some versions,
a message appears on the display.
When the ASR is deactivated whilst driving, the
next time the car is started the ASR is
automatically activated.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains,
it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in
these conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when
moving off makes it possible to obtain better
traction.

START&STOP SYSTEMINTRODUCTION
The Start&Stop system automatically stops the
engine each time the car is stationary and starts it
again when the driver wants to move off. In this
way, the car efficiency is increased, by reducing
consumption, dangerous gas emissions and noise
pollution.
The system activates every time the car is started.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops with
gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal released.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped

ENGINE STOPPING FAILURE CONDITIONS
When the system is active, due to comfort,
emission control and safety reasons, the engine
does not stop in some conditions, among which:
❒engine still cold;
❒especially cold outside temperature;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒heated rear window activated;
❒windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒particulate filter regeneration (DPF) in progress
(diesel engines only);
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example, for parking
manoeuvres);
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets, where provided),
if an adequate level of thermal comfort has
not been reached or with MAX-DEF activation;
❒during the first period of use, to initialise the
system.
If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Start&Stop system can be disabled,
for a continuous operation of the
climate control system.ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, to limit harmful emissions
and for safety purposes, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the driver if
certain conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the
brake pedal is pressed repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a
gradient);
❒engine stopping by Start&Stop system for over
3 minutes;
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets where provided),
to enable suitable thermal comfort or with
MAX-DEF activation.
With gear engaged, automatic engine restarting is
possible only by fully depressing the clutch pedal.

Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, 3 minutes after the
engine stops, the engine can be restarted only
using the ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and this is not
desired, due for example to the clutch pedal being
released sharply with a gear engaged, if the
Start&Stop system is activated, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or
by placing the gear lever in neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the Start&Stop
system, if the driver releases his/her seat belt and
opens the driver's or passenger's door, the engine
can be restarted only using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer and by the
flashing of the symbol
on the display; on some
versions, a message is displayed as well."ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, following automatic engine restarting, the
driver does not carry out any action on the car for
over 3 minutes, the Start&Stop system stops the
engine once and for all, to prevent fuel
consumption. In these cases, the engine can be
restarted only using the ignition key.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the Start&Stop
system is deactivated.
Versions with multifunction display: the
warning light on the instrument panel switches
on and a message appears on the display in the
event of Start&Stop system failure.
Versions with reconfigurable multifunction
display: the
icon switches on and a message
appears on the display in the event of Start&Stop
system failure.

IMPORTANT NOTES
WARNING
Before opening the bonnet, make sure
that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the STOP position. Follow
the instructions on the dedicated label on the
front crossmember fig. 74. We recommend
that you remove the key from the ignition
if other people remain in the vehicle. Exit
from the car only after having removed the
ignition key or having rotated it to the STOP
position. During refuelling, make sure the
car has been stopped and the key is in STOP
position.
EOBD SYSTEMThe EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) carries out a continuous diagnosis of
the components of the car related to emissions. It
also alerts the driver about component
deterioration by switching on the warning light on
the instrument panel and the displaying of a
relevant message (for versions/markets, where
provided) (see the chapter “Warning lights and
messages”).
The aim of the EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions;
❒indicate the need to replace damaged
components.
The system also has a diagnosis connector that
can be interfaced to suitable instruments, to read
the error codes stored in the control unit together
with a series of specific parameters for engine
operation and diagnosis.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to
check the system completely, Lancia Dealerships
run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which
may also call for a long journey.
