2012 Lancia Flavia high beam

Periodic Safety Checks You
Should Make Outside The
Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear
and uneven wear patterns. Check for
stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread or sidewall. In-
spect the tread for cuts and cracks.
Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges. Check the wheel nuts for
tightness. Check the tires (including
spare) for proper cold inflation pres-
sure.Lights
Have someone observe the operation
of exterior lights while you work the
controls. Check turn signal and high
beam indicator lights on the instru-
ment panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after over-
night parking for fuel, engine coolant,
oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gaso-
line fumes are detected or if fuel,
power steering fluid, or brake fluid
leaks are suspected, the cause should
be located and corrected immediately.

Rear Fog LightsThe rear fog lights may be
operated as desired when vis-
ibility is poor due to fog. To
activate the rear fog lights,
turn on the parking lights, headlights
or automatic lights pull out the end of
the multifunction lever and rotate the
lever to the last detent.
NOTE:
The headlights will always be on
when the rear fog lamps are acti-
vated.
TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or
down and the arrows on each side of
the instrument cluster flash to show
proper operation of the front and rear
turn signal lights. LANE CHANGE ASSIST
Tap the lever up or down once, with-
out moving beyond the detent, and
the turn signal (right or left) will flash
three times then automatically turn
off.
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Push the multifunction lever away
from you to switch the headlights to
high beam. Pull the multifunction le-
ver toward you, to switch the head-
lights back to low beam.
FLASH-TO-PASS
You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
multifunction lever toward you. This
will cause the headlights to turn on at
high beam and remain on until the
lever is released.NOTE:
If the multifunction lever is held in
the Flash-To-Pass position for
more than 15 seconds, the high
beams will shut off. If this occurs,
wait 30 seconds before activating
the Flash-To-Pass function again.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
Two courtesy/reading lights are lo-
cated in the bottom of the rearview
mirror. You can turn these lights on
and off from the switches in the mir-
ror or from the dimmer control in the
multifunction lever. These lights are
also controlled automatically by the
Illuminated Entry System.

A courtesy light is also found in the
rear of the center console. You can
turn this light on and off from the
dimmer control in the multifunction
lever. This light is also controlled au-
tomatically by the Illuminated Entry
System.
Headlight Leveling System
This system allows the driver to main-
tain proper headlight beam position
with the road surface regardless of
vehicle load.
The headlight leveling switch is lo-
cated on the instrument panel below
the radio.To operate: push the head-
light leveling switch until
the appropriate number,
which corresponds to the
load listed on the following chart, il-
luminates on the switch.
0 Driver only, or driver and front passenger.
1 All seating positions
occupied.
2 All seating positions
occupied, plus an
evenly distributed load
in the luggage com-
partment. The total
weight of passengers
and load does not ex-
ceed the maximum
load capacity of the
vehicle.
3 Driver, plus an evenly
distributed load in the
luggage compartment.
The total weight of the
driver and load does
not exceed the maxi-
mum load capacity of
the vehicle.
Calculations based on a passenger
weight of 75 kg. BATTERY SAVER FEATURE
To protect the battery, the interior
lights will turn off automatically
10 minutes after the ignition switch is
moved to the LOCK position. This
will occur if the interior lights were
switched on manually or are on be-
cause a door is open.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
AND WASHERS
The wipers and washers are
operated by a switch on the
control lever. The lever is lo-
cated on the right side of the steering
column.
Rotate the end of the lever to the LO
position for low-speed wiper opera-
tion, or to the HI position for high-
speed wiper operation.
Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever

Certain conditions, such as a loose or
missing gas cap, poor fuel quality,
etc., may illuminate the light after
engine start. The vehicle should be
serviced if the light stays on through
several of your typical driving cycles.
In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and will not require
towing.CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic con-
verter damage and power loss will
soon occur. Immediate service is re-
quired.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic con-
verter, as referenced above, can
reach higher temperatures than in
normal operating conditions. This
can cause a fire if you drive slowly or
park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, cardboard,
etc. This could result in death or
serious injury to the driver, occu-
pants or others.
27. Transmission Temperature
Warning Light This light indicates that the
transmission fluid tempera-
ture is running hot. This
may occur with severe us-
age, such as trailer towing. If this light
turns on, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle. Then, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL and run the engine at
idle or faster until the light turns off.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Trans-
mission Temperature Warning Light
illuminated will eventually cause se-
vere transmission damage or trans-
mission failure.WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature
Warning Light is illuminated and
you continue operating the vehicle,
in some circumstances you could
cause the fluid to boil over, come in
contact with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.
28. High Beam Indicator This light indicates that the
headlights are on high beam.
Pull the turn signal lever to-
ward the steering wheel to switch the
headlights to low beam.

VEHICLE STORAGE
If you will not be using your vehicle
for more than 21 days, you may want
to take steps to preserve your battery.
 Disengage the mini-fuse in thePower Distribution Center labeled
IOD (Ignition Off-Draw).
 Or disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Refer to “Prepa-
ration for Jump Start” in “Jump-
Starting” to identify the location of
the negative post.
 Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service (i.e., vacation)
for two weeks or more, run the air
conditioning system at idle for
about five minutes in the fresh air
and high blower setting. This will
ensure adequate system lubrication
to minimize the possibility of com-
pressor damage when the system is
started again.
