CLOSING fig. 107
Proceed as follows:
❒hold the bonnet up with one hand
and with the other remove rod
Cfrom recess and fit it back into
its catchD;
❒lower the bonnet to approximately
20 centimetres from the engine
compartment and let it come down.
Make sure that the bonnet is com-
pletely closed and not only fastened
by the safety catch by trying to
open it. If it is not perfectly closed,
open the bonnet and repeat the
procedure. No not simply press it.
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed properly to avoid its
opening while the car is travelling.ROOF BARS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IMPORTANT Use of Lineaccessori
Lancia roof bars is recommended.
Follow the instructions contained in
the assembly kit to the letter. Assem-
bly must be performed by qualified
personnel.
The bonnet may drop sud-
denly if the supporting rod
is not in correct position.
WARNING
Perform these operations
when the car is stationary
only.
WARNING

IMPORTANT Check beam alignment
every time the load carried changes.
HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT
WHEN TRAVELLING ABROAD
fig. 111-112
The dipped headlamps are adjusted
for service in the country where the
car was originally purchased.
HEADLIGHTS
BEAM DIRECTION
Correction direction of the headlights
is essentially for the comfort and
safety of the driver and the other road
users. The headlights must be cor-
rectly directed to ensure the best vis-
ibility conditions when the headlights
are on. Contact Lancia Dealership to
have the headlights properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT CORRECTOR
This device works with the key at
MARand the dipped beam headlights
on. The car will slant backwards
when it is loaded, raising the light
beam. The beams must therefore be
directed again in this case.
Never operate the sunroof
when roof bars are fitted.

ABS SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an ABS braking
system, which prevents the wheels
from locking when braking, makes
the most of road grip and gives the
best control when emergency braking
under difficulty road conditions.
System is completed by EBD (Elec-
tronic Braking force Distribution),
which distributes the braking action
between front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT The braking system
needs to settle for approximately 500
km: during this time, avoid sudden,
repeated and prolonged braking.SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by
a slight pulsing of the brake pedal ac-
companied by noise: such an event in-
dicates that you need to adjust your
speed to the type of road on which
you are travelling.
MECHANICAL BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
This system (which cannot be deacti-
vated) recognises emergency braking
conditions according to the speed of
operation of the brake pedal and pro-
vides an additional hydraulic braking
pressure to support that provided by
the driver. This allows faster and
more powerful operation of the
braking system.
IMPORTANT When the Mechanical
Brake Assist is activated noises can be
heard from the system. This is nor-
mal. Anyway, while braking keep the
brake pedal depressed.
When the ABS intervenes
it means that you are ap-
proaching the grip limit between
tyres and road: slow down to ex-
ploit all the available grip.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre-
road grip at the best, but it
cannot improve it; you should
therefore take every care when dri-
ving on slippery surfaces without
taking unnecessary risks.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turn-
ing on of warning light >on the in-
strument panel together with the ded-
icated message on the multifunctional
display (for versions/markets, where
provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
In the case, the braking system will
work as normal without the extra po-
tentials offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.
EBD failure
ABS failure is indicated by the
turning on warning lights >andx
on the instrument panel together with
a message on the multifunctional
display (for versions/markets, where
provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuous
diagnosis of the components of the car
correlated with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on
the warning light
Uon the instru-
ment panel (together with relevant
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”), when these condi-
tions are no longer in peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒warn when a fault causes emissions
levels to increase;
❒to signal the need to replace deteri-
orated components. In this case, the rear wheels may sud-
denly lock and the car may swerve.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.The system also has a diagnostic con-
nector that can be interfaced with ap-
propriate tools, which makes it possi-
ble to read the error codes stored in
the control unit, together with a series
of specific parameters for engine op-
eration and diagnosis. This check can
also be carried out by the traffic po-
lice.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the
inconvenience, to check the system
completely, Lancia Dealerships are
obliged to run a bench test and, if
necessary, road tests which may also
call for a long journey.
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal
pulsating, do not remove your foot,
but keep it pressed; in doing so you
will stop in the shortest amount of
space possible under the current
road conditions.
WARNING
If warning light xonly
lights up on the instrument
panel (with a message on the mul-
tifunctional display, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided),
stop the car immediately and go to
the nearest Lancia Dealership.
Leakage of hydraulic fluid from
the braking system will compro-
mise functionality of the braking
system, either of the conventional
type or with ABS.
WARNING
Go to a Lancia Dealership
as soon as possible if warn-
ing light Ueither does not
light up when the key is
turned to MAR to if while travelling
the warning lights comes on either
steady or blinking (along with a
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, where provided). The opera-
tion of warning light Umay be
checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are
driving.

oddment compartment where the
wiring leads. To extract the compart-
ment, press in the points shown at the
retainer systems.

❒front and rear speaker power wires
❒aerial power wire
❒2 tweeters on front pillars (30W
max power each);
❒2 mid-woofers on front doors (165

It is advisable to have the
sound system and interfer-
ence filter installed by a
Lancia Dealership.
GSI SYSTEM
(for versions with
mechanical
gearbox only)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The gear shift indication makes it
possible, on cars with a manual gear-
box, to suggest the driver should
change gear (higher gear: shift up, see
Fig. aor lower gear: shift down, see
Fig. b), through a dedicated indica-
tion in the control panel. This sug-
gestion to change gear is designed to
improve consumption and ensure the
best driving style.
NOTE: the indication in the instru-
ment panel remains on until the dri-
ver makes a gear change or until the
driving conditions return to a situa-
tion where a gear change is not re-
quired to improve consumption.
