seat (to aid this operation, slightly move the seat for-
ward using lever B);
To extend the luggage compartment further, the rear seats
can be pushed forwards by operating handle B-fig. 58
(for versions/markets where provided).
IMPORTANT In order to achieve a uniformly flat load
platform, the head restraints should be placed in the fully
extended position before the seats are folded back.

at both sides to prevent it moving forward in
the event of sharp braking that may cause
injuries to passengers.

HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING
The correct aiming of the headlights is important for the
comfort and safety of not only the driver but all other
road users. This is also covered by a specific rule of the
highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aimed to guarantee the
best visibility conditions for all drivers while travelling
with headlights on.
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the headlights prop-
erly adjusted.
Check beam alignment every time the load or its distri-
bution changes.
ANGLE COMPENSATION fig. 67
The car is fitted with an electric headlight alignment sys-
tem. This system is operational with the ignition key
turned to MAR and the dipped beam headlights on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This means
the headlight beam rises.
In this case, it is necessary to adjust the beams using but-
tons A and B.
The display provides a visual indication of the positions
during adjustment.Correct positions depending on the load
Position 0 – one or two people in the front seats.
Position 1 – five passengers.
Position 2 – five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load stowed
in the luggage compartment.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN ABROAD
Dipped headlights are adjusted to drive in the country
where the vehicle was originally purchased. When trav-
elling in countries with opposite driving direction, to
avoid blinding the drivers on the other side of the road,
you need to cover the headlight areas depending on the
Highway code of the country you are travelling in.
ADAPTIVE LIGHTS (AFS – Adaptive Xenon Light)
This is a system combined with Xenon headlamps which
directs the main light beam and continuously and auto-
matically adapts it to the driving conditions round
bends/when cornering. The system directs the light beam
to light up the road in the best way, taking into account
the speed of the vehicle, the bend/corner angle and the
speed of steering.Activating/deactivating the system fig. 68
The adaptive lights are automatically activated 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); they will be deactivated and the LED on button
A will come on constantly. Press AFS button again to turn
the adaptive lights on (LED off on the button).
In the event of a system failure, an indication is provided
on the instrument panel by the flashing of warning light
f
or the symbol
fappearing on the display along with a ded-
icated message (for versions/markets where provided).

DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque)
This system is incorporated with the ESP control unit
and suggests steering corrections whilst driving via the
electric power steering. The system applies a torque to
the steering wheel which increases the safety perception
of the vehicle, maintaining control of the steering and
making the intervention of the Advanced ESP system
less intrusive.
Fault signalling
In the event of any operating fault, the system switches
off automatically and the èwarning light is lit up on the
display together with a dedicated message. In this case,
go to a Lancia Dealership
SPORT FUNCTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
The vehicle may be equipped with a system that allows
a choice between two styles of driving, normal and sports.
Pressing the SPORT button fig. 69 produces sporty dri-
ving featuring higher acceleration response and more ef-
fort required on the steering wheel to produce this effect.
When the function is active, “S” is lit up in the instru-
ment panel. Press the button again to turn the function
off and restore the normal driving setting.
