On the roof light, some bulbs light the car interior when
the main beam headlamps or dipped headlamps are on.
IMPORTANT The roof light in fig. 32, for some versions,
may also be in a rear central position (electric sun roof
version).
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make sure
that both switches are in the middle position; when the
doors are closed, the lights switch off preventing a pos-
sible battery discharging. In any case, if the switch is left
in on position, the roof light switches off automatically
15 minutes after the engine switching off.
Courtesy light timing
To make getting in and out the vehicle easier, especially
at nighttime or in poorly lit areas, two timing logics are
available.
Timing while getting into the vehicle
The roof lights switch on according to the following
modes:
❍for around 10 seconds when the front doors are un-
locked;
❍for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
❍for about 10 seconds when the doors are closed.
The timed period is interrupted when the ignition is
turned to “MAR”.Timing while getting out of the vehicle
After removing the key from the ignition, the courtesy
lights switch on according to the following modes:
❍within 2 minutes of the engine being switched off for
a period of about 10 seconds;
❍when one of the side doors is opened for a period
of about 3 minutes;
❍when one of the doors is closed for a period of about
10 seconds;
❍if the fuel cut off switch operates, they remain on for
about 15 minutes, then they switch off automatically.
Door locking switches the lights off immediately (unless
the fuel cut off switch is operating).

KNOWING YOUR CAR107
In the 1.4 Turbo Jet 150 HP version, pressing the SPORT
button, the turbocharger supercharging function (over-
boost) starts; considering the
position of the accelerator pedal and for a limited time,
the engine management control unit achieves maximum
pressure levels inside the turbocharger, with a consequent
increase in engine torque with respect to that which is
normally possible.
This function is particularly useful whenever maximum
performance is required for a short time (e.g. when over-
taking).
IMPORTANT During acceleration, when the SPORT
function is used the steering may shudder which is typi-
cal of a sports setting.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
System failure
In the event of a malfunction, the system notifies the dri-
ver of the fault via a dedicated message in the reconfig-
urable multifunction display instrument panel and the
amber
isymbol coming on.
In this case, go to a Lancia Dealership.
DRIVING ADVISOR
(Lane crossing warning )
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Driving Advisor is a warning system that notifies
the driver if he/she crosses the lane because he/she
has been distracted.A video sensor, fitted on the wind-
screen near the interior rear view mirror, detects the lane
demarcation lines and the position of the car in relation
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.

BATTERY RECHARGING
IMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is given
as information only. You are advised to go to a Lancia
Dealership to have this operation performed.
Charging should be slow at a low ampere rating for ap-
proximately 24 hours. Charging for a longer time may
damage the battery.

Charge the battery as follows:
❍disconnect the negative battery terminal;
❍connect the charger leads to the battery terminals, ob-
serving the polarity;
❍turn on the charger;
❍when you have finished, turn the charger off before
disconnecting the battery;
❍reconnect the negative battery terminal.VERSIONS WITH Start&Stop SYSTEM fig. 43
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To charge, proceed as follows:
❍detach the connector A (by pressing button B) from

Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and eyes. The
battery recharging operation must be per-
formed in a ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks to avoid the
risk of explosion and fire.
Don’t try to recharge a frozen battery: If the
battery was frozen, have it inspected by
skilled personnel before recharging to check
that the internal elements are not damaged and that
the casing is not cracked, which causes the risk of
leakage of poisonous, corrosive acid.
JACKING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Lancia Dealership which
is equipped with the arm hoist or workshop lift.
TOWING THE CAR
The tow ring, which is provided with the car, is housed
in the tool box, under the boot mat.
FASTENING THE TOW RING fig. 44-45
Proceed as follows:
❍release cap A;
❍take the tow ring B from its housing in the tool sup-
port;
❍screw the ring onto the rear or front threaded pin.
fig. 44L0E0090m
❍connect the positive cable to the positive battery ter-
minal E and the negative terminal to the sensor D as
shown in the figure;
❍turn on the charger. Turn the device off after recharg-
ing;
❍after having disconnected the recharging device, re-
connect the connector A to the sensor C as shown in
the figure.
