TO CLOSE THE BONNET
Proceed as follows:
❒hold the bonnet up with one hand and with the
other remove rod C from recess D and replace it
in its locking device E;❒lower the bonnet at approx. 20 centimetres from
the engine compartment and then let it drop,
ensuring that it is fully closed and not just held
in position by the safety catch. If the bonnet does
not close properly, do not push it down but open
it again and repeat the above procedure.
IMPORTANT Always check that the bonnet is
closed properly to avoid its opening while the car is
travelling.
WARNINGIf the supporting rod is not positioned correctly the bonnet may fall violently.
WARNING
Carry out operations when the vehicle is stationary.

ROOF/SKI RACKS (where provided)
IMPORTANT Use roof/ski racks provided at Lineaccesori Lancia.
Always attain to the installation instructions provided with the kit
and have the roof racks installed by skilled personnel.
IMPORTANT Never exceed the max. permissible loads (see section
“Technical specifications”).
After few kilometers, check that fastening screws are firmly tightened.
HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams is of vital importance for
your safety and comfort and also for the other road users. To ensure
you and other drivers have the best visibility conditions when
travelling with the headlights on, the headlights must be set properly.
Contact Lancia Dealership to have the headlights properly adjusted.
Headlight aiming device
The device can be operated with the ignition key at MAR and dipped
beam headlights on. When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards.
This means that the headlight beam rises. In this case, it is necessary
to return it to the correct position.

To adjust the headlight slant operate buttons
andÒlocated on the
dashboard.
The display provides the visual indication of the positions during the
adjustment operation.
Position 0 - one or two people occupying the front seats.
Position 1 - five people.
Position 2 - five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum permissible load stowed in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every time the load carried
changes.
HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
The dipped-beam headlights are adjusted for circulation in the
country in which the vehicle is marketed. In countries with opposite
circulation, to avoid glaring oncoming vehicles, it is necessary to
cover the areas of the headlight as shown below: this is done using
non-transparent sticker tape.
Figures refer to passing from right-hand drive to left-hand drive.

ABS SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an ABS braking system, which
prevents the wheels from locking when braking,
makes the most of road grip and gives the best
control when emergency braking under difficult
road conditions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking
Force Distribution), which distributes the braking
action between front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To have the maximum efficiency of
the braking system, it is necessary a setting period
of about 500 km: during this period it is better to
avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged brakes.ABS INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has come into
action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and
the system gets noisier: it means that the car speed
should be altered to fit the type of road surface.
If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that the grip
between tyre and the road surface has reached the
limit: you must slow down to match the speed to the
road grip available.
FAILURE WARNINGS
ABS failure
If there is a fault, the instrument panel warning
light
>will come on together with the message
(where provided) on the reconfigurable
multifunction display (see the “Warning lights”
chapter).
In this case the braking system is still efficient,
though without the aid of the ABS system. Drive
carefully to the closest Lancia Dealership to have
the system checked.
If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that the grip between tyre and the road
surface has reached the limit: you must slow down to match the speed to the road
grip available.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre-road grip at the best, but it cannot improve it; you
should therefore take every care when driving on slippery surfaces without taking
unnecessary risks.

EBD failure
It is signalled by lighting up of instrument panel
warning lights
>andxtogether with the message
(where provided) on the multifunction display
(see the “Warning lights” chapter).In this case with sharp braking the rear wheels
might lock too early, with the possibility of
skidding. Drive extremely carefully to the nearest
Lancia Dealership to have the system checked.
When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your
foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road conditions.
WARNING
WARNING
If brake fluid low warning light xlights up on the instrument panel (together,
where provided, with the message on the multifunction display), stop immediately
the car and contact the closest Lancia Dealership. Fluid leaks from the hydraulic
system, in fact, can compromise the braking system, both traditional systems and
systems with ABS.

ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system controlling
the car stability in the event of tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly useful
when grip conditions of the road surfaces change.
ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is indicated by the blinking of the warning light
áon the instrument panel, to inform the driver that
the car is in critical stability and grip conditions.
The performance of the system, in terms of active
safety should not induce the driver to take pointless
and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in
any case always be adapted to the conditions of the
road surface, visibility and traffic. Road safety is
always the driver’s responsibility. ESP SYSTEM OPERATION
The ESP system is automatically inserted when the
car is started and cannot be deactivated.
FAILURE WARNINGS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is
automatically disconnected and the warning light
áwill come on with fixed light on the instrument
panel together with the message on the
multifunction display. In this case contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
The performance of the system, in terms of active safety should not induce the
driver to take pointless and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in any
case always be adapted to the conditions of the road surface, visibility and
traffic. Road safety is always the driver’s responsibility.

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM (where provided)
It is an integral part of the ESP system and
facilitates starting on an uphill slope.
It is automatically activated in the following
conditions:
Uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with gradient
above 2%, engine running, clutch and brake pedals
pressed and gearbox in neutral position or gear
engaged (reverse excluded).
Downhill: stationary on a road with gradient above
2%, engine running, clutch and brake pedals
pressed and reverse engaged.
During pickup the ESP system control unit
maintains the wheel braking pressure until the
engine torque required for start up is reached, or
anyway for a maximum of 2 seconds, so that the
right foot can be moved easily from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal.After 2 seconds and without starting the car, the
system automatically deactivates gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase it is possible
to hear the typical brake mechanical disengaging
noise which indicates the car is about to move off.
Failure warnings
In the event of failure, the instrument cluster
warning light
*will come on together with the
message on the multifunction display.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a
parking brake therefore, never leave the car without
engaging the parking brake, the first gear and
turning the engine off.

WARNING
During the use of the spare wheel, the ESP system carries on working.
However, you must remind that the spare wheel presents dimensions smaller
than the standard tyre and therefore the grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.
WARNING
For correct operation of the ESP system, the tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of the type,
brand and size specified.

ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulation)
It’s a function of ESP system and controls the vehicle
drive and cuts in automatically every time one or both
driving wheels slip.
In slipping conditions, two different control systems
are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both the driving wheels, the
ASR function intervenes reducing the power
transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping involves only one driving wheel, the
ASR system cuts in automatically braking the
wheel that is slipping.The action of the ASR is particularly helpful in the
following circumstances:
❒slipping of the inner wheel due to the effect of
dynamic load changes or excessive acceleration;
❒too much power transmitted to the wheels also in
relation to the conditions of the road surface;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or frozen surfaces;
❒in the case of loss of grip on a wet surface
(aquaplaning).
