LANE CHANGE FUNCTION
If you wish to signal a lane change, place the left lever
in the unstable position for less than half a second. The
direction indicator on the side selected will flash five
times and then switch off automatically.
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This allows the space surrounding the car to be lit up for
a certain period of time.
Activation
With the ignition key in the STOP position or extracted,
pull the stalk towards the steering wheel and move it
within 2 minutes of the engine switching off. At each sin-
gle movement of the stalk, the lights will remain on for
an extra 30 seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automatically. Each time
the lever is operated, the warning light 3 on the instru-
ment panel comes on and the display shows how long the
function will remain active. The warning light comes on
when the stalk is pulled for the first time and stays lit un-
til the function switches itself off automatically. Each time
the stalk is activated the time will extend the time that
the lights remain on.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk 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 operation.
WINDSCREEN WIPER/WASHER fig. 29
This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.
The right hand lever can take up five different positions:
A: windscreen wiper off.
B: intermittent operation.
With the lever in position B, turn control F to select one
of four different speeds for the intermittent operation
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).

The rear window wiper stops operating a few strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning stroke”, after
a few seconds, 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 intermit-
tent 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 continuous
operation) with intense rain.
fig. 30L0E0023m
Activation
Move the right lever down by one click.
The activation of the sensor is signalled by a “stroke”
to show the command has been acquired.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
By turning ring nut F-fig. 29 is it possible to increase the
sensitivity of the rain sensor to obtain a more rapid vari-
ation between wiper still (no stroke) when the windscreen
is dry, to wiper at first continuous speed (slow continu-
ous operation).
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is signalled
by a “stroke” to show the command has been acquired.
When the windscreen washer is operated with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is performed,
at the end of which the rain sensor resumes its normal
automatic function.

When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the
vehicle speed may slightly exceed the preset one.
The engagement of the device is signalled by the Üwarn-
ing light coming on in the instrument panel (together
with a message shown on the display) (see “Instrument
panel warning lights” paragraph in this chapter).
STORING THE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❍turn the ring nut A-fig. 31 to ON and press the ac-
celerator until the vehicle reaches the desired speed;
❍turn the ring nut to (+) for at least three seconds, then
release it. The vehicle speed is now memorised and
you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accel-
erate simply by pressing the accelerator pedal; when you
come off the pedal, the car will return to the speed mem-
orised previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by de-
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed
can be restored as follows:
❍accelerate gradually until reaching a speed ap-
proaching the memorised speed;
❍engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rising (fourth, fifth or sixth gear);
❍press button C-fig. 31.INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❍by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❍by temporarily turning ring nut B-fig. 31 to (+).
Each movement of the selector wheel will correspond to
a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the selector wheel turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❍by disengaging the device and then memorising the
new speed;
or
❍by keeping ring nut B-fig. 31 turned to (–) until the
new speed is reached; it will then be memorised au-
tomatically.
Each movement of the ring nut will corresponds to
a slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while keep-
ing the ring nut turned will correspond to a continuous
reduction in speed.

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. OPERATION
The system is not active when the vehicle is started. It is
only activated when button A-fig. 68 in the dashboard
is pressed. The LED in the button lights up to confirm
that the system has been switched on plus a dedicated
warning message in the instrument panel display. Once it
is turned on the system will recognise the operating con-
ditions and this is signalled to the driver by the LED lo-
cated in the button flashing and the symbol
ein the am-
ber coloured panel in the instrument panel display
flashing too. Once the system has recognised the operat-
ing conditions, it becomes active. Therefore: the
eicon
in the display switches off and the LED on the button
remains on constantly.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions are no longer
present then the system will deactivate. This is signalled
to the driver by the LED on the button flashing and the
amber
eicon on the display flashing.

KNOWING YOUR CAR109
OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system becomes active only if the
following conditions are present:
❍always keep at least one hand on the steering wheel;
❍vehicle speed between 65 km/h and 180 km/h;
❍presence of lane demarcation lines not deteriorated
and visible on both sides;
❍suitable visibility conditions;
❍straight line or wide radius bends;
❍visual field condition sufficient (safe distance from ve-
hicle in front). ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING THE SYSTEM
With the system on, if the vehicle approaches one of the
lines defining the side of the lane, a torque is applied to
the steering wheel to let the driver know which direction
to steer in order to stay within the lane. If the driver turns
on the direction indicator in order to change lanes or for
overtaking, then the system will switch off momentarily.
If the driver wishes to change lanes without turning the
direction indicator on, then there will be a warning from
the steering wheel that they are about to cross the line.
If the driver continues with the manoeuvre to change
lanes, the system will be temporarily deactivated and then
switch back on again once it has recognised the new dri-
ving lane. This temporary deactivation will be signalled
to the driver by the LED in the button flashing and by
the
esymbol in the amber coloured panel in the instru-
ment panel display also flashing.
IMPORTANT The force applied to the steering wheel by
the system is sufficient for the driver to notice it but they
can easily override it and maintain control of the vehicle.

DEACTIVATING THE SYSTEM
Manual mode
The system can be deactivated by pressing button
A-fig. 68 in the dashboard. Confirmation that the system
has been switched off is given by the LED in the button
and the message 1-fig. 69 in the instrument panel display
going out.Automatic mode
The system can be switched off in automatic mode (there-
fore it must be activated again to use it). The driver is ad-
vised that the system has been turned off automatically
by three consecutive acoustic signals and the message
1 – fig. 69 in the instrument panel display after the fol-
lowing situations:
❍the driver does not keep their hands on the steering
wheel (indication 2-fig. 69 is shown on the instrument
panel and a buzzer sounds until the driver places their
hands back on the wheel. This is considered a dan-
gerous condition and the system is automatically de-
activated);
❍intervention of the vehicle safety systems (ABS, ESP,
ASR, DST and TTC);
❍the driver activates the sports driving setting pressing
the SPORT button (for versions/markets where pro-
vided).
IMPORTANT The system cannot be activated if the dri-
ver has previously selected the sports driving mode. The
impossibility of using the system will be communicated
to the driver by three consecutive beeps and by the dis-
played message 1 in fig. 69.

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.
