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:

WINDOW CLEANINGThe right stalk controls windscreen wiper/washer
and heated rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
They can be operated only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
The ring nut A fig. 35 can be moved to four
different positions:
windscreen wiper off.intermittent operation.
AUTO
rain sensor activation (for versions/markets,
where provided) (the windscreen wipers
adapt the operating speed automatically to
suit the intensity of the rain)continuous slow operation.continuous fast operation.Move the stalk upwards (unstable position) to
limit operation to the time for which the stalk is
held in this position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the wiper will
be automatically stopped.
With the ring nut A fig. 35 in position
, the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt
operating speed to the speed of the car.
With the windscreen wipers operational, if reverse
gear is engaged, the rear window wiper is
automatically activated.
Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protection,
which prevents operation for a few seconds,
may intervene. If operation is not restored
(even after using the key to restart the engine),
contact a Lancia Dealership.Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the
windscreen.

"Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to activate the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half a
second, with just one movement it is possible to
operate the washer jet and the wiper at the same
time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the
stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is located behind the interior rear view
mirror, in contact with the windscreen fig. 36 and
can detect the presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen in
accordance with the amount of water on the
screen.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at 2
nd
continuous
speed (fast continuous operation) with intense
rain.Activation
The sensor is activated when the ring nut A fig. 35
is turned to "automatic" position ("AUTO"
control): the windscreen wiper stroke frequency is
thus adjusted in accordance with the amount of
water on the windscreen.
The activation of the sensor is signalled by a
"stroke" to show that the command has been
acquired.
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted
through the Set Up menu (see paragraph "Menu
Items" in this section).
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, after which the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic operation.

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.

PARKING SENSORS(for versions/markets, where provided)
The parking sensors are located in the car's rear
bumper fig. 79 and their function is to inform the
driver, through an intermittent acoustic signal,
about the presence of obstacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when
reverse gear is engaged. As the obstacle behind the
vehicle gets closer to the car, the acoustic signal
becomes more frequent.ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged and there is an
obstacle behind the car an acoustic signal is
activated which varies according to the distance of
the obstacle from the bumper.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between the car and
the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases;
❒is constant if the distance is unchanged.
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors,
only the nearest one is considered.
FAULT INDICATION
Any parking sensor faults will be indicated when
reverse is engaged by the
warning light on
the instrument panel together with the message in
the multifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided) (see “Warning lights and
messages” section).
