All adjustments made to front and rear seats
must only be carried out when the vehicle is
at a standstill.
After releasing the adjustment levers, always
check that the seat is locked on the runners
by trying to move it back and forth. If it is not
locked, the seat may move unexpectedly and make
you lose control of the car.
FRONT SEATS

The mirror is fitted with a safety device that causes its
release in the event of a violent crash.
It can be moved using lever A to two different positions:
normal or antiglare.
ELECTROCHROMIC INTERNAL REARVIEW

The external lights can only be switched on when the ig-
nition key is on MAR. The instrument panel and the var-
ious controls on the dashboard will be illuminated when
the external lights are switched on.
DAYLIGHT lights (D.R.L. - Adaptive Daylight Led)

With the ignition key turned to MAR and the selector wheel
turned to position Othe daylight lights are automatical-
ly activated; the other lights and internal illumination re-
main off. The automatic lighting up of the daytime lights
can be switched on/off using the display menus (see “Dis-

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
(for versions/markets, 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-

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).

“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
on automatically if you keep the lever pulled for over half
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.
Keep the lever pushed to activate the rear window wash-
er jet and the rear window wiper with a single movement;
the latter turns on automatically if you keep the lever
pushed for over half a second.

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
(for versions/markets, 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.
