WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER
The device can only work when the
ignition key is at MAR.
The right hand stalk can take up five
different positions:
Awindscreen wiper off
Bflick operation.
With the lever in position B, turn the
knurled ring Fto select one of four
different speeds for the intermittent
operation mode:
,= very slow flick
--= slow flick
---= medium flick
----= fast flick The set sensitivity level of the sensor
will appear on the multifunctional
display when the automatic headlight
sensor is on. Adjust sensitivity by
pressing
+and–(seefig. 68) while
the setting appears on the display.
Deactivation
When the command to switch off is
given by the sensor, the dipped head-
lamps are deactivated and then the
side lights about 10 seconds later.
If the main beam heads are turned on
(manually by the driver) while the au-
tomatic headlight function is on, the
main beam headlights will be turned
off when the lights are automatically
turned off.
IMPORTANT The sensor cannot de-
tect the presence of fog: switch the
lights on manually in this case.

Operation in position Eis limited to
the time during which the lever is
kept in that position manually. When
released, the stalk will return to posi-
tionAand the wiper will be automat-
ically stopped.
IMPORTANT Replace wiper blades as
specified in the “Maintenance and
care” chapter. RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the
driving mirror in contact with the
windscreen and has the purpose of
automatically adjusting the frequency
of the windscreen wiper strokes as to
the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in
the sensor area.
Activation
Move the right stalk down by one
click.
The activation of the rain sensor is
signalled by a control acquisition
flick.
Turn the ring F-fig. 71to increase the
rain sensor sensitivity.
The increase of the sensitivity of the
rain sensor is signalled by a control
and acquisition flick.
The smart cycle is started when the
windscreen wiper is turned on while
the rain sensor is active without sup-
plementary flick after 5 seconds. The
sensor will resume normal automatic
operation. “Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate
the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more
than half a second, with just one
movement it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same
time.
The jet will be released immediately
when the wiper stops after four flicks.
A further stroke after 5 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation. Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions,
the windscreen wiper may be sub-
jected to excessive stress and the
motor protection which prevents op-
eration for a few seconds may trip.
If rear window wiper operation is
not reset, contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship.

is running.
The rear window wiper will run in
continuous mode when the wind-
screen wiper is running and reverse
gear is engaged.
Pull the stalk towards the dashboard
(unstable position) to operate the rear
window washer.
Hold the stalk pushed for longer than
half a second to operate the rear win-
dow wiper as well.
Smart wash function is activated as
for the windscreen wiper when the
stalk is released. The wiper will flick once to indicate
that the sensor has been reactivated.
The rain sensor is able to recognize
and automatically adjust itself in the
presence of the following particular
conditions:
❒dirt on the controlled surface (salt,
dirt, etc.);
❒difference between day and night.
Deactivation
Move the lever from position Bor turn
the ignition key to STOP.
At the next start-up (key at MAR),
the sensor will not be reactivated even
if the stalk is at B. To activate the sen-
sor, move the stalk to position AorC
and then to position Bor turn the sen-
sitivity adjustment knurled ring.

The bonnet must always
be perfectly closed while
travelling for reasons of safety.
Make sure that the bonnet is per-
fectly closed and that the lock is
engaged. If you discover that the
bonnet is not perfectly closed while
travelling, stop immediately and
close the bonnet in the correct
manner.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of
your vehicle down and lower the
amount of toxic emissions released
into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Service
schedule”.
Ty r e s
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption
because rolling resistance will be
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
boot. The weight of the car (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These acces-
sories decrease aerodynamic penetra-
tion of the car and have a negative ef-
fect on consumption. It is better to use
a trailer to transport particularly
bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the
amount of time needed. Rear heated
window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, there-
fore increasing the requirement of
current increases fuel consumption
(up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires
higher fuel consumption (up to +20%
in average): use the air vents when the
external temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag
and fuel consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the
car standing: the engine warms up
very slowly in these conditions, in-
creasing consumption and emissions.
It is advisable to start off immediately
and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much
faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at
traffic lights or before stopping the
engine. The latter action, like dou-
bling the clutch, is unnecessary and
causes increase of consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic
and road conditions allow. Using a
low gear for faster acceleration will in-
crease consumption.
In the same way improper use of a
high gear increases consumption,
emissions an engine wear.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for
longer than a month, the following
precautions should be noted:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if
possible well-ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not
engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery
terminal and check battery charge.
Repeat this check once every three
months during storage. Recharge
the battery if the optical indicator
shows a dark colour without the
central green area;❒clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds
readily available;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rub-
ber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the
glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the car with a fabric or per-
forated plastic terrapin. Do not use
compact plastic sheets which do not
allow humidity to evaporate from
the surface of the car.❒inflate tyres to a pressure of +0,5
bar above the normal specified
pressure and check it at intervals;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery
from the electric system, check its
charge every month and recharge it
if the optical indicator shows a dark
colour without the central green
area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling sys-
tem.
