alternative to the dipped beam
headlights for driving during the daytime in
countries where it is compulsory to have
lights on during the day, and they are also
permitted in those countries where this not
obligatory.
WARNING
Daytime running lights cannot
replace dipped headlights when
driving at night or through tunnels. The use
of daytime running lights is governed by
the highway code of the country in which
you are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
SIDE LIGHTS AND DIPPED BEAM
HEADLIGHTS

nut A fig. 34 to
. If dipped beams are
activated, the daytime running lights go out and
the side lights and dipped headlights come on.

The warning light
switches on on the
instrument panel. When the direction indicator
stalk is activated the side for the lights (left or
right) can be selected.
AUTOMATIC LIGHTING CONTROL
(AUTOLIGHT) (Dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This infrared LED sensor, combined with the rain
sensor and located on the windscreen, detects
the variations in outside brightness depending on
the light sensitivity set with the Setup Menu:
the greater the sensitivity, the less external light is
required to activate the exterior lights.
Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring nut A fig. 34

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.
FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the
headlights properly adjusted.

❒Sensors may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo noise) due to mechanical noises, for
example while washing the car, in the case of
rain, strong wind, hail.
❒The sensors might not detect objects of a
particular shape or made from particular
materials (very thin poles, trailer beams, panels,
nets, bushes, parking deterrents, rubbish bins,
motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
to check that the car and its path are actually
compatible with the parking area identified
by the system.
❒The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a
different size to those at the time the car was
purchased could affect the operation of the
system.
❒If the battery is disconnected or is nearly flat,
the Magic Parking system will not be available
until the vehicle is driven for a few hundred
metres on a curved path to initialise the system.
❒If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly
inserted) the Magic Parking system will
automatically be disabled.
❒If the Magic Parking system is in "search in
progress" mode, the system could incorrectly
identify a parking space and carry out the
manoeuvre (e.g. by a junction, carriage track,
roads crossing the direction of travel, etc.)
❒In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a
gradient, the performance of the system could
be inferior and it may deactivate.❒If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the
pavement, the Magic Parking system may cause
the car to mount the pavement.
❒Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not
be carried out.
❒Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if
there are persons and/or animals in the parking
area, moving cars, etc.) and intervene
immediately if necessary.
❒During parking manoeuvres, pay attention to
cars approaching from the opposite direction.
Always follow the Highway Code.
IMPORTANT Correct system operation is not
guaranteed if snow chains or emergency wheels
are fitted.
IMPORTANT The correct positioning of the car
inside the parking space detected by the system
depends on various factors, in particular the
circumference of the wheels. For example,
if wheels with a 14" diameter are fitted, the
position of the car inside the parking area could
be slightly different.

HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
They are located inside the front bumper fig. 170.
They are activated when the dipped beam and/or
main beam headlights are on and the windscreen
washer is activated.
Check the correct condition and cleanliness of
nozzles at regular intervals.
BODYWORKPROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The car is equipped with the best available
technological solutions to protect the bodywork
against corrosion.
These are the most important:
❒painting products and systems which give the
car particular resistance to corrosion and
abrasion
❒use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets,
with high resistance to corrosion
❒spraying the underbody, engine compartment,
wheel arch interiors and other parts with highly
protective wax products
❒spraying of plastic parts, with a protective
function in the more exposed points: underdoor,
inner wing, edges, etc.
❒use of “open” boxed sections to prevent
condensation and pockets of moisture from
triggering rust inside.
