Low battery charge (red)
The warning light (or symbol in the display)
comes on when the ignition key is turned to
MAR, but it should go out as soon as the engine
has started (with the engine running at idle speed a brief
delay before going out is acceptable).
If the warning light stays on, glowing steadily or flash-
ing: contact a Lancia Dealership immediately.
w
Low engine oil pressure (red)
The warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out as
soon as the engine has started (a brief delay be-
fore going out is acceptable). If there is insufficient engine
oil pressure the display will show the dedicated message.
Engine oil degraded (Multijet versions with DPF)
This warning light flashes when the system detects that
the engine oil has degraded.
After the first indication, at each engine start-up the
v
warning light will continue flashing for about 60 seconds
and then every 2 hours until the oil is changed.
The display will show a dedicated message.

If the vwarning light flashes, promptly
contact your nearest Lancia Dealership to
have the oil changed and the warning light on
the instrument panel turned off.
“Dualdrive” electric power steering
failure (red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go off after a
few seconds.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on,
you will not have steering assistance and the effort required
to operate the steering wheel will be increased; steering is,
however, possible. In this case contact a Lancia Dealership.
The display will show a dedicated message.

Deactivation
When the lights are switched off by the sensor, the dipped
beam headlights and side lights are switched off and the
daylight lights are switched on (if activated).
The sensor cannot detect the presence of fog: switch the
lights on manually in this case.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS WITH CORNERING LIGHTS
FUNCTION
When travelling at a speed of less than 40 km/h with the
dipped beam headlights on, when the steering wheel is
turned at a wide angle or the direction indicators are lit
up, a light (built into the front fog lights) will be activat-
ed on the side of the turn to increase night time visibility.
This function can be switched on/off using the display
menus (see “Display” section in this chapter). AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR
(dusk sensor) fig. 27 (where provided)
This sensor detects changes in external light levels ac-
cording to the sensitivity of the setting: the higher the sen-
sitivity, the lower the amount of external light needed to
switch the lights on. The sensitivity of the dusk sensor may
be adjusted, using the “Set-up menu” on the instrument
panel.
Activation
Turn the selector wheel to AUTO: in this way the external
lighting will switch on automatically according to the out-
side light level.
The headlights can only be flashed with the sensor on.The daytime lights are an alternative to the
dipped beam headlights for driving during
the daytime. They are compliant in countries
where is it obligatory to have lights on during the
day and permitted in those where it is not obliga-
tory Daytime lights cannot replace dipped beam
headlights when driving at night or through tunnels.
The use of daytime lights is governed by the High-
way Code of the country you are in. Keep to the
rules.

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).

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

ADVANCED ESP SYSTEM
(ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAM)
This is an electronic system that controls car stability in
the event of tyre grip loss.
The Advanced ESP system is therefore particularly use-
ful when road surface grip conditions change.
With the ESP system as well as the ASR (traction control
with intervention on the brakes and the engine) plus the
HILL HOLDER (device for hill starts without using the
brakes) and also MSR (adjustment of engine braking force
with gear downshift), HBA (automatic increase in brak-
ing pressure during emergency braking), ABS (prevent-
ing the wheels from locking and slipping on all road sur-
faces during sharp braking and DST (application of force
on the steering wheel for steering correction) functions are
all available.SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the blinking of warning light áon the
instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car is in
critical stability and grip conditions.
Switching the system on
The Advanced ESP system is automatically activated when
the car is started and cannot be de-activated.
Failure indications
In the event of a failure, the Advanced ESP system will be
automatically switched off and warning light áwill appear
on the instrument panel along with a message on the re-
configurable multifunctional display. The LED on the ASR
OFF button will also light up (see “Instrument panel warn-
ing lights”). In this case contact a Lancia Dealership.
The performance of the Advanced ESP sys-
tem should not encourage the driver to take
unnecessary risks. Your driving style should
always take road conditions, visibility and traffic
into account. The driver is ultimately responsible
for road safety.

110GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
ASR SYSTEM (Anti-Slip Regulation)
This is an integral part of the ESP system and automati-
cally intervenes in case of slip of one or both drive wheels,
helping the driver to control the car. The action of the ASR
is particularly helpful in the following circumstances:
slipping of the inner wheel when cornering due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or excessive accelera-
tion;
too much power transmitted to the wheels. also in re-
lation to road surface conditions;
acceleration on slippery, snowy or frozen road surfaces;
in the event of loss of grip on a wet surface (aqua-
planing).MSR system (engine braking torque control)
This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in the event
of sudden gear downshifting, cuts in and provides torque
to the engine thus preventing excessive drive wheel drive
which, especially in poor grip conditions, can lead to a loss
of stability.
Switching the ASR system on/off fig. 72
The ASR system switches on automatically each time the
engine is started.
When driving it is possible to deactivate and then reacti-
vate the ASR system by pressing the ASR OFF button.

The ABS with which the car may be equipped
will not control the braking system of the
trailer. Take specific care when travelling on
slippery roads.
Never modify the braking system of the car
to control the trailer brake. The trailer brak-
ing system must be fully independent from
the hydraulic system of the car.
SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres pro-
vided with the car.
A Lancia Dealership will be happy to provide advice con-
cerning the most suitable type of tyre for your require-
ments.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures and the
specifications of snow tyres, follow the instructions given
in paragraph “Wheels” in chapter “6”.
The performance of these tyres is considerably reduced
when the tread thickness is less than 4 mm. Replace them
in this case.Due to their specific features, the performance of snow
tyres is much lower than that of standard tyres in nor-
mal conditions or long motorway stretches. Limit their use
to the use for which they were approved.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a maximum
speed rating different from that of the vehicle (increased
by 5%), place a clearly visible warning sign in the pas-
senger compartment warning other drivers of the maxi-
mum speed rating of the snow tyres used (as required by
EC directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to en-
sure greater safety when driving, during braking and bet-
ter driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to change the direction
of rotation of tyres.
Snow tyres marked with a “Q” must not ex-
ceed 160 km/h, respecting the applicable
rules of the Highway Code.
