LANE CHANGE FUNCTION
If you want to signal that you are changing lane, hold the
left-hand lever in the unstable position for less than half
a second. The direction indicator on the selected side flash-
es 5 times and then switches off automatically.

This function allows the space in front of the car to be lit
up for a preset period of time.
Activation
With the ignition key on STOP or removed, pull the lever
towards the steering wheel within 2 minutes of switching
the engine off. The amount of time the lights remain on
is extended by 30 seconds at each movement of the lever,
up to a maximum of 210 seconds; after this the lights are
switched off automatically. Each time the lever is oper-
ated, the warning light on the instrument panel comes
on and the display shows how long the function will re-
main active. The warning light comes on the first time the
lever is operated, and stays on until the function is auto-
matically deactivated. Each time you operate the lever, the
amount of time the lights will remain lit up increases.
Deactivation
Keep the lever pulled towards the steering wheel for more
than 2 seconds.WINDOW WASHING

With the lever in position B, turn selector wheel F to se-
lect one of four different speeds for the intermittent op-
eration mode:

“Smart washing” function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable posi-
tion) to operate the windscreen washer jet. Keep the lever
pulled to activate both the windscreen washer jet and the
windscreen wiper with a single movement; the latter turns

a second. The windscreen wiper stops operating a few
strokes after the lever is released; after a few seconds, a
further cleaning stroke completes the wiping operation.

REAR WINDOW WIPER/REAR WINDOW
WASHER
This only operates with the ignition turned to MAR.
Turn the selector wheel to
'to operate the rear window
wiper.
With the windscreen wiper active, turn the selector wheel
to
'activate the rear window wiper which, in this case,
operates (in the different positions) in sync with the wind-
screen wipe but at half its rate. When reverse gear is en-
gaged with windscreen wiper active, the rear window wiper
automatically turns on in slow continuous mode.
It stops when the reverse gear is disengaged.
Do not use the windscreen or rearscreen
wiper to remove layers of snow or ice from
the windscreen. In such conditions, the wind-
screen wiper may be subjected to excessive stress
and the motor protection which prevents operation
for a few seconds may trip. If the issue persists, con-
tact a Lancia Dealership.
“Smart washing” function
Pushing the lever towards the dashboard (unstable posi-
tion) will activate the rear window washer.

The rear window wiper stops operating a few strokes af-
ter the lever is released; after a few seconds, a further
cleaning stroke completes the wiping operation.
RAIN SENSOR (where provided)
The rain sensor A-fig. 30 is located behind the interior
rear-view mirror in contact with the windscreen and au-
tomatically adjusts the frequency of the windscreen wiper
strokes according to the rain intensity during intermittent
operation.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies progres-
sively from wiper still (no stroke) when the windscreen
is dry, to wiper at first continuous speed (slow continu-
ous operation) with intense rain.Activation
Move the right lever down by one click.
The activation of the rain sensor is signalled by a com-
mand acquisition stroke.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
By turning selector wheel F-fig. 29 is it possible to increase
the sensitivity of the rain sensor to obtain a more rapid
variation between wiper still (no stroke) when the wind-
screen is dry, to wiper at first continuous speed (slow con-
tinuous operation).
The increase in the sensitivity of the rain sensor is signalled
by a control and acquisition “stroke”.
When the windscreen washer is operated with the rain sen-
sor activated, the normal washing cycle is performed, at
the end of which the rain sensor resumes its normal au-
tomatic function.

Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to STOP.
The next time the vehicle is started (ignition key to MAR),
the sensor is not reactivated even if the lever is still in po-
sition B-fig. 29. To activate the sensor, move the lever to
position A or C and then back to position B.
Rain sensor activation is indicated by at least one wiper
stroke even if the windscreen is dry.
Do not activate the rain sensor when wash-
ing the car in an automatic car wash.
Make sure the device is switched off if there
is ice on the windscreen.
Make sure the device is switched off whenev-
er the windscreen is being cleaned.
