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.
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
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
The right-hand lever fig. 29 controls windscreen
wiper/washer and heated rear window wiper/washer op-
eration.
WINDSCREEN WIPER/WASHER fig. 29
This only operates with the ignition turned to MAR.
The right-hand lever can take five different positions:
A: windscreen wiper off.
B: intermittent operation;
With the lever in position B, turn selector wheel F to se-
lect one of four different speeds for the intermittent op-
eration mode:
,= very slow intermittent operation
= slow intermittent operation.
= normal intermittent operation
= fast intermittent operation.
C: continuous slow operation;
D: continuous fast operation;
E: temporary fast operation (unstable position).

When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the car
speed may exceed the memorised one.
The engagement of the device is signalled by the Üwarn-
ing light lighting up in the instrument panel (together with
a message shown on the display) (see “Instrument panel
warning lights” in chapter 1).
MEMORISING VEHICLE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
turn selector wheel A-fig. 31 to ON and press the ac-
celerator until the vehicle reaches the desired speed;
turn selector wheel B to (+) for at least three seconds
and then release it: the car speed will be memorised
and the accelerator pedal may be released.
If required (e.g. for overtaking), press the accelerator ped-
al to accelerate: the car will return to the previously set
speed when the pedal is released.
RESTORING MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged, for example by press-
ing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed can
be reset as follows:
accelerate gradually until you reach a speed ap-
proaching the one memorised;
engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rising (4th, 5th or 6th gear);
press button C-fig. 31.INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be carried out in two ways:
by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
by temporarily turning selector wheel B-fig. 31 to (+).
Each movement of the selector wheel will correspond to
a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the selector wheel turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be carried out in two ways:
by disengaging the device and then memorising the
new speed;
or
by keeping selector wheel B-fig. 31 turned to (–) un-
til the new speed is reached; it will then be memorised
automatically.
Each movement of the selector wheel will correspond to
a slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while keep-
ing the selector wheel turned will correspond to a contin-
uous reduction in speed.

HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT
ABROAD
The factory adjustment of the dipped beam headlights de-
pends on the country where the car is purchased. When
you travel in countries with a different driving direction,
it is necessary to cover certain areas of the headlight ac-
cording to the provisions of the Highway Code of the coun-
try you are travelling in to avoid blinding the drivers trav-
elling in the opposite direction.
ADAPTIVE LIGHTS (AFS - Adaptive Xenon Light)
This is a system linked to the Xenon headlights, which
continuously and automatically adjusts the main light
beam and adapts it to the driving conditions when cor-
nering. The system directs the light beam to improve the
illumination of the road, taking into account the vehicle
speed, the cornering angle and the speed at which the
steering wheel is turned.Activating/deactivating the system fig. 68
The adaptive lights are activated automatically when the
vehicle is started. In this situation the LED (amber) on
button A will remain off.
Press button A to deactivate the adaptive lights (if acti-
vated); the LED on button A will light up. To reactivate
the adaptive lights: press button A once again (LED on
button is off).
In the event of a system failure, an indication is provided
on the instrument panel by the flashing of warning light
for the symbol.

DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque)
This system is built into the advanced ESP control unit
and provides steering corrections via the electric power
steering during driving. The system applies torque to the
steering wheel, increasing the feeling of safety, maintain-
ing control and reducing the impact of advanced ESP sys-
tem intervention.
Fault signalling
In the event of any operating faults occurring, the sys-
tem switches off automatically and the èwarning light is
lit up on the display together with a dedicated message.
In this case contact a Lancia Dealership.
SPORT FUNCTION (where provided)
The vehicle can be equipped with a system that allows you
to choose between two driving modes: normal and sport.
Press the SPORT button fig. 69 to set the sport driving
mode. This is characterised by increased acceleration re-
sponse and increased force required at the steering wheel
to obtain a more sporty drive.

DRIVING ADVISOR(where provided)
The Driving Advisor is a warning system that notifies
the driver if they drift out of their lane because they
have been distracted.
A video sensor, fitted to the windscreen near the internal
rear-view mirror, detects the lane boundaries and the ve-
hicle’s position in respect to them.
IMPORTANT If the windscreen needs replacing on cars
fitted with a Driving Advisor system, it is advisable to go
to a Lancia Dealership. If the repair is being carried out
at a specialist window replacement centre, it is still nec-
essary to go to a Lancia Dealership to have the tv cam-
era calibrated.
OPERATION
The system is not activated when the vehicle is started.
It is only activated when button A-fig. 70 on the dash-
board is pressed. Activation is confirmed by the lighting
up of the LED on the button and a dedicated message ap-
pearing on the display. Once it is turned on the system will
recognize the operating conditions which is signalled to
the driver by the LED located in the button flashing and
the symbol
ein the amber coloured panel in the instru-
ment panel display flashing too. Once the system has
recognised the operating conditions, it becomes active.
When this happens: the
eicon on the display goes out
and the LED on the button remains on constantly. IMPORTANT If the operating conditions are no longer
present then the system will deactivate. This is signalled
to the driver by: the LED on the button and the amber
eicon on the display flashing.
OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system becomes active only if the
following conditions are present:
always keep at least one hand on the steering wheel;
vehicle speed between 65 km/h and 180 km/h;
presence of lane demarcation lines not deteriorated and
visible on both sides;
suitable visibility conditions;
straight road or wide curves;
visual field condition sufficient (safety distance from
vehicle in front).
ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING THE SYSTEM
When the system is active, if the vehicle nears one of the
side lane markings a torque is applied to the steering wheel
advising the driver of the direction the steering wheel needs
to the turned to stay in the present lane.
If the driver turns on the direction indicator in order to
change lanes or for overtaking, then the system will switch
off momentarily. If the driver wishes to change lanes with-
out turning the direction indicator on, then there will be
a warning from the steering wheel that they are about to
cross the line. If the driver continues with the manoeuvre
to change lanes, the system will be temporarily deactivated
and then switch back on again once it has recognized the
