Particularly strong radio frequency interfer-
ence may cause the T.P.M.S. system to func-
tion incorrectly. This condition is indicated
to the driver by a message (for versions/markets
where provided).
The message will disappear automatically as soon
as the interference ceases to disturb the system.
Exterior lights failure (amber)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when a failure is detected in any
of the following lights:
❍side lights;
❍brake lights (for versions/markets where provided);
❍rear fog lamps;
❍direction indicators;
❍number plate lights;
❍day lights.
The failure relating to these lights could be: one or more
blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or a break in the
electrical connection.
The display shows the dedicated message.

Deactivation
When the lights are switched off by the sensor, the dipped
beam headlights and side lights are switched off and the
day lights are switched on (if activated).
The sensor is not capable of detecting the presence of fog
therefore, in these circumstances, the lights have to be
turned on manually.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS WITH CORNERING LIGHTS
FUNCTION
When the dipped headlamps are on and the speed is be-
low 40 km/h, if the steering wheel rotation angle is large
or the direction indicators are on, a light (incorporated in
the fog light) will come on on the relevant side to improve
visibility at nightime. The function can be acti-
vated/deactivated via the display menu (see “Display”
paragraph in this chapter). AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR
(dusk sensor) fig. 27
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects variations in brightness outside the vehicle de-
pending on the light setting: the greater the sensitivity,
the less outside light needed to activate the exterior lights
being turned on. The sensitivity of the dusk sensor may
be adjusted, using the “Set-up menu” on the instrument
panel.
Activation
When the ring nut is turned to the AUTO position the ex-
ternal lights automatically switch on depending on the
exterior brightness.
The headlights can only be flashed with the sensor on.The daytime running lights are an alterna-
tive to the dipped beam headlights for dri-
ving during the daytime in countries where
it is compulsory to have lights on during the day,
and they are also permitted in those countries
where this not obligatory.
Daytime running lights cannot replace dipped
headlights when driving at night or through tunnels.
The use of daytime running lights is governed by
the highway code of the country in which you are
driving. Comply with legal requirements.

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).

❍Ultrasound source (e.g. pneumatic brakes of trucks or
air drills) nearby could negatively influence the sensor
performance.
❍Sensors may detect a non-existent obstacle (echo in-
terference) due to mechanical interference, for example
while washing the car, rain, strong wind, hail.
❍The sensors might not detect objects of a particular
shape or made from particular materials (very thin poles,
trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes, parking deterrents,
rubbish bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
to check that the vehicle and its path are effectively com-
patible with the parking area identified by the system.
❍The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a different
size to those present when the vehicle was purchased
could affect the operation of the system.
❍If the battery is disconnected or very run down, be-
fore the Magic Parking system is available it is necessary
to drive a few hundred metres, not in a straight line, to
initialise the system.
❍If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly inserted)
the Magic Parking system will automatically be disabled.
❍If the Magic Parking system is in “search in progress”
mode, the system could incorrectly identify a parking
space and carry out the manoeuvre (e.g. by a junction,
carriage track, roads crossing the direction of travel, etc.).❍In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a gra-
dient, the performance of the system could be inferior and
it may deactivate.
❍If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out between
two vehicles parked on the pavement, the Magic Park-
ing system may cause the vehicle to mount the pavement.
❍Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not be car-
ried out.
❍Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if there are
persons and/or animals in the parking area, moving ve-
hicles, etc.) and intervene immediately if necessary.
❍During parking manoeuvres, pay special attention to
vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Always
follow the Highway Code.

206IN AN EMERGENCY
After tyre replacement
❍Stow the space saver wheel D-fig. 10 in the space pro-
vided in the luggage compartment;
❍fit the partially open jack in its box forcing it lightly
to prevent it from vibrating when travelling;
❍put the tools back into place in the container;
❍stow the container, complete with tools, in the spare
wheel and tighten the locking device B-fig. 10;
❍reposition the boot mat correctly.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with tubeless tyres.
Check the inflation pressure of the tyres and the space-
saving wheel periodically.CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❍Before changing a bulb, check the contacts for rust-
ing;
❍burnt-out bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and wattage;
❍always check the alignment of the beam after chang-
ing a headlight bulb;
❍when a light is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph “Replacing
fuses” in this chapter.
Modifications or repairs to the electric sys-
tem that are not carried out properly or do
not take the system technical specifications
into account can cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
Various fastening bolts and space-saver
wheels, specific and differing in structural
characteristics, are used depending on the
wheel rim type (alloy or steel). Fastening bolts for
alloy rims can be identified by the presence of a per-
manent washer and a hollow side on the bolt head.
Therefore, you will need to go to a Lancia Dealer-
ship to get the correct type of fastening bolts and
space saver wheel if you change the type of wheels
fitted (alloy rims instead of steel rims, or vice
versa). Keep the bolts fitted as standard in case of
re-use of the wheels originally mounted on the car.
