IMPORTANTThis function is par-

is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam,
tunnel, etc.). You are advised against
using this function for long periods,
however, especially if there are a lot
of people in the car or on cold and
raining days, since this considerably
increases the possibility of the win-
dows misting up and will reduce vis-
ibility effecting driving conditions.

Incorrect use of the elec-
tric windows could be
dangerous. Before and
when pressing the switches, always
make sure that passengers are not
liable to injury either directly by
the movement of the windows or
by personal effects being dragged
along or knocked by the windows.
Always remove the ignition key
when getting out of the car to make
sure that the electric windows can-
not be accidentally operated and
constitute a hazard for passengers
remaining in the car.
The door handle on the passenger
side has a button to control that par-
ticular window. IMPORTANTFor versions with
door locking/unlocking remote con-
trol, see the “Lancia CODE system -
Door lock/unlock remote control”
paragraph at the beginning of this
chapter.
IMPORTANTIf one of the doors is
not shut properly or there is a failure
in the system, the central locking fea-
ture will not work and, after some at-
tempts, the device stops working for
around two minutes. In these two min-
utes the doors can be locked or un-
locked manually without the electrical
system coming into play. After the two
minutes, the control unit is ready to
receive commands once more.
If the reason for the malfunction has
been removed, the device will start to
work properly again. If not, it will cut
out once more.ELECTRIC WINDOWS
The electric windows are controlled
by two buttons situated in the inside
handle of the driver’s door (fig. 71).
They work when the ignition key is at
MAR:
A- left window;
B- right window.
Press the switch to open the window,
and pull it up to close it: this means
the window cannot be closed acci-
dentally.
On the LX and 1.2
16VM M Nredver-
sions, if the driver’s window switch is
pressed for about one second, the win-
dow will work automatically: it will
stop when it is fully opened or closed
or when the switch is pressed again.

ion as shown and tip it against the
front seat backs; the rear seat back-
rest can then be released and tilted

To return the seat to its normal po-
sition:
1)Return the seat back to the verti-
cal position and make sure it is prop-
erly locked into place; the red strip on
the hook-up button must disappear.

2)Remove the rear head restraints
if required.
3)Release the seat back by pressing
buttonA (fig. 77)(one for each side)
located on the back seat back-rest

side of the button (towards the inside
of the car) to indicate that it has been
released.

HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is situated be-
tween the two front seats.
To put the handbrake on, pull it up-
wards until the vehicle is blocked;
normally four or five clicks are suffi-
cient on flat ground, whereas seven or
eight might be necessary when park-
ing on steep slopes with the vehicle
laden.
IMPORTANTIf this is not the case,
take the car to a LANCIA Dealer-
shipto have the handbrake adjusted.
When the ignition key is turned to
MARand the handbrake pulled up,
the warning lamp xwill light up on
the instrument panel.To release the handbrake:
1)Slightly lift the handbrake and
press release button A (fig. 1).
2)Keep the button pressed in and
lower the lever. Instrument panel
warning light xwill go out.
3)To prevent accidental movement
of the car, when releasing the hand-
brake, keep the foot brake depressed.PARKING
Stop the engine, engage the hand-
brake and engage a gear (first gear if
the car is faced uphill or reverse if it
is faced downhill). Leave the wheels
steered. Block the wheels with a
wedge or a stone if the car is parked
on a steep slope.
If the car is parked on a steep slope,
block the wheels with a wedge or a
stone.
Do not leave the ignition key at
MARbecause it drains the battery.
Always remove the key when you
leave the car even if it is only for a few
moments.
