All adjustments on the front and rear seats
must be made with the car stationary.
After releasing the adjustment levers always
check that the seat is locked into place by try-
ing to move it back and forth. Failure to lock
the seat in place could result in the seat moving sud-
denly and the driver losing control of the car.

STEERING WHEEL
It can be adjusted vertically (and axially).
To adjust the steering wheel, move the lever fig. 20 up-
wards to position 1. Adjust the steering wheel into the
most suitable position and lock it in this position by mov-
ing the lever to position 2.
REAR VIEW MIRRORS
INTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR fig. 21
The mirror is fitted with a safety device that causes its re-
lease in the event of a violent impact with the passenger.
Lever A can be used to move the mirror to two different
positions: normal or antiglare.
INTERIOR ELECTROCHROMIC
REAR VIEW MIRROR
(for versions/markets where provided)
Some versions have an electrochromic mirror with auto-
matic antiglare function.
When the function is active, a LED on the mirror is ac-
tive. Engaging reverse gear, the mirror is automatically
set for daytime use.
Any adjustments must be carried out only
with the car stationary and engine off.

ADVANCED ESP SYSTEM
(ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM)
This is an electronic car stability control system in the
event of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain directional
control.
The Advanced ESP system is therefore particularly use-
ful when road surface grip conditions change.
With the Advanced ESP system as well as the ASR (trac-
tion control with intervention on the brakes and the en-
gine) plus the HILL HOLDER (device for hill starts with-
out using the brakes) and also MSR (adjustment of engine
braking force with gear downshift), HBA (automatic in-
crease in braking pressure during emergency braking),
ABS (preventing the wheels from locking and slipping on
all road surfaces during sharp braking and DST (appli-
cation of force on the steering wheel for steering correc-
tion) functions are all available. SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light á
on 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 comes on automatically when
the vehicle is started and cannot be turned off.
Failure indications
In the event of a failure, the Advanced ESP system will
be automatically switched off and warning light áwill
appear constantly in the instrument panel along with
a message on the reconfigurable multifunction display.
The LED on the ASR OFF button will also light up (see
“Instrument panel warning lights” chapter). In this case,
go to a Lancia Dealership.
The performance of the Advanced ESP sys-
tem should not encourage the driver to take
unnecessary risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions, visibility
and traffic. The driver is ultimately responsible for
road safety.
