Activation of Dualdrive electric power steering
(CITY indication) or of ECO driving mode
(ECO indication)

When the lights are turned on by the sensor, the fog lights (for versions/markets, where provided)and the rear fog lights may be turned on. Whenthe lights are automatically switched off, the frontand rear fog lights (if activated) are also switchedoff. The next time the lights are switched onautomatically, the fog lights must be reactivatedmanually (if required). With the sensor active, it is possible to flash the headlights but the main beam headlights cannotbe switched on. To activate these lights, turnthe ring nut A to
and activate the fixed dipped
beam headlights. When the lights have been activated automatically and are then switched off by the sensor, thedipped beam headlights are switched off first,followed by the side lights a few seconds later. Ifthe sensor is activated but is malfunctioning,the side lights and dipped beam headlights areswitched on irrespective of the outside light leveland the sensor failure is indicated on theinstrument panel display. It is also possible todeactivate the sensor and switch on the side lightsand dipped beam headlights. IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the presence of fog. Under these circumstances, theselights are therefore turned on manually.
MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS It is not possible to switch on the main beam headlights in fixed mode if the automatic lightingcontrol system is active. FLASHING You can flash the headlights by pulling the stalk towards the wheel (unstable position). The
warning light will come on in the instrument
panel. DIRECTION INDICATORS Bring the stalk to the (stable) position: upwards:
right-hand direction indicator
activation; downwards:
left-hand direction indicator
activation. Warning light
or
should flash in the
instrument panel. The indicators switch offautomatically when the steering wheel isstraightened.

, pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel. The warning light
switches on in the
instrument panel. When the stalk is pulled towards the steering wheel again, the lights deactivate, the dippedheadlights reactivate and the
warning light
switches off.

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.

SPECIFICATIONS
INDEX

If the warning light remains on or switches on
whilst driving, the injection system is not working
properly; in particular, if the warning light
switches on constantly, this indicates a
malfunction in the supply/ignition system that
could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a possible
loss of performance, poor driveability and high
fuel consumption.
Under these conditions, you may continue
travelling at moderate speed without demanding
excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use
of the car with the warning light on may cause
damage. Contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
The warning light goes out after the fault
disappears, but the notification is stored in the
system.
NOTE (valid only for petrol engines)
If the warning light is flashing, the catalytic
converter could be damaged.
In this case, it is necessary to release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine
until the warning light stops flashing; continue the
journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid
driving conditions that may cause further flashing
and contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible if
warning light either does
not light up when the key is turned to
MAR or if while travelling the warning light
comes on either constantly or flashing (along
with a message and a symbol on the display
on some versions). The operation of warning
light
may be checked by the traffic police
using specific devices. Comply with the laws
and regulations of the country where you
are driving.ESC SYSTEM FAILURE (amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position
illuminates the warning light, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.
If the warning light does not switch off or remains
on (along with a message and a symbol on the
display on some versions) whilst driving, contact a
Lancia Dealership. Flashing of the warning light
while driving indicates the intervention of the ESC
system.

CD PLAYERINTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the variants regarding the
operation of the CD player: as far as the operation
of the radio is concerned, refer to the description
in the "Functions and Adjustments" chapter.
SELECTING THE CD PLAYER
To activate the CD player built-into the
equipment, proceed as follows:
❒load a CD with the equipment switched on: the
first track will start to play;
or
❒if a CD has already been loaded, turn on the car
radio and then briefly press the CD button to
select the “CD” operating mode: the last track
listened to will start to play.
It is advisable to use original CDs to ensure
optimum playback. If CD-R/RWs are used, we
recommend using good quality media that are
burnt at the slowest speed possible.LOADING/EJECTING A CD
To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot to
activate the motorised loading system, which will
position it correctly.
The CD can be loaded with radio off and the
ignition key turned to MAR-ON: in this case the
radio will remain off. When the radio is turned on,
the last source listened to before being switched off
will be activated.
When a CD is inserted the display will show the
symbol "CD-IN" and the text "CD Reading". They
will remain displayed for the entire time required
for the radio to read the CD tracks. When this
time has elapsed the radio automatically starts
playing the first track.
Press the
button (EJECT) with the radio on to
activate the motorised ejection of the CD. After
ejection, the last audio source listened to before
playing the CD will be heard.
If the CD is not removed from the radio, it will
automatically be reloaded about 20 seconds later
and the Tuner mode will be tuned into (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the car radio is off.
If the ejected CD is reloaded without having
removed it completely from the slot, the radio will
not switch to the CD source.
