Lane change function
If you wish to signal a lane change, put the left
stalk in the unstable position for less than half a
second. The direction indicator on the selected
side flashes three times and then switches off
automatically.
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This allows the space in front of the car to be lit
up for a certain period of time.
Activation:with the ignition key on STOP or
removed, pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
within 2 minutes from when the engine is turned
off.
At each single 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 stalk is operated, the
warning
light on the instrument panel switches on and the
display also shows a message and how long the
function will remain active.
The
warning light switches on when the stalk
is first moved and stays on until the function is
automatically deactivated. Each time the stalk is
activated it increases the time that the lights
remain on.
Deactivation:keep the stalk pulled towards the
steering wheel for more than two seconds.EXTERNAL COURTESY LIGHTS
This function lights up the car and the space
around it when the doors are unlocked.
Activation:when the car is parked and the doors
are unlocked by pressing the
button on the
remote control (or the luggage compartment is
unlocked by pressing
), the dipped beam
headlights, side lights and number plate lights are
activated.
The lights remain lit for approximately 25 seconds
unless the doors and boot are locked again with
the remote control or the doors or boot are opened
and reclosed. In these cases they go out after 5
seconds.
The exterior courtesy lights can be enabled/
disabled using the Setup Menu (see the paragraph
“Menu Items” in this chapter).

HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct alignment of the headlights is
important for the comfort and safety of not only
the driver but all other road users. This is also
covered by a specific rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aimed to
guarantee the best visibility conditions for all
drivers while travelling with headlights on.
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the
headlights properly adjusted.
Check beam alignment every time the load or its
distribution changes.
IMPORTANT When the gas discharge (Xenon)
headlamps (for versions/markets, where provided)
are switched on, normally parabolas and light
beam move vertically for about 2 seconds until
headlamp alignment has stabilised.
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the
MAR position and the dipped headlights on.
Headlight alignment adjustment
Press the
or
buttons to adjust fig. 69. The
instrument panel display shows the position in
relation to the adjustment set.
Position 0 - one or two persons on the front seats
Position1-4personsPosition2-4persons + load in the luggage
compartment
Position 3 - driver + maximum admissible load all
stored in the luggage compartment.
IMPORTANT Check alignment every time the
load carried changes.
IMPORTANT If the car is equipped with (Xenon)
gas discharge headlights, the headlight alignment
is controlled electronically, as a consequence the
and
buttons are not present.
FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the

ESC SYSTEM (Electronic Stability
Control)This is an electronic system that controls car
stability in the event of tyre grip loss, helping
maintain directional control. The system is
capable of recognising potentially dangerous
situations in terms of the stability and intervenes
automatically on the brakes in a differentiated
manner for the four wheels in order to provide a
stabilizing torque.
The ESC system also includes the following
subsystems:
❒Hill Holder
❒ASR
❒Brake Assist
❒MSR
❒HBASYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the flashing of theESCwarning
light on the instrument panel, to inform the driver
that the car is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESC system switches on automatically when
the engine is started and cannot be switched off.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the ESC system
and facilitates starting on slopes.
It is activated automatically in the following
instances:
❒uphill: car stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, brake pressed
and gearbox in neutral or gear (other than
reverse) engaged;
❒downhill: car stationary on a road with a
gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake
pressed and reverse gear engaged.

Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, 3 minutes after the
engine stops, the engine can be restarted only
using the ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and this is not
desired, due for example to the clutch pedal being
released sharply with a gear engaged, if the
Start&Stop system is activated, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or
by placing the gear lever in neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the Start&Stop
system, if the driver releases his/her seat belt and
opens the driver's or passenger's door, the engine
can be restarted only using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer and by the
flashing of the symbol
on the display; on some
versions, a message is displayed as well."ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, following automatic engine restarting, the
driver does not carry out any action on the car for
over 3 minutes, the Start&Stop system stops the
engine once and for all, to prevent fuel
consumption. In these cases, the engine can be
restarted only using the ignition key.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the Start&Stop
system is deactivated.
Versions with multifunction display: the
warning light on the instrument panel switches
on and a message appears on the display in the
event of Start&Stop system failure.
Versions with reconfigurable multifunction
display: the
icon switches on and a message
appears on the display in the event of Start&Stop
system failure.
In the event of a Start&Stop system failure,
contact a Lancia Dealership.

IMPORTANT NOTES
WARNING
Before opening the bonnet, make sure
that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the STOP position. Follow
the instructions on the dedicated label on the
front crossmember fig. 74. We recommend
that you remove the key from the ignition
if other people remain in the vehicle. Exit
from the car only after having removed the
ignition key or having rotated it to the STOP
position. During refuelling, make sure the
car has been stopped and the key is in STOP
position.
EOBD SYSTEMThe EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) carries out a continuous diagnosis of
the components of the car related to emissions. It
also alerts the driver about component
deterioration by switching on the warning light on
the instrument panel and the displaying of a
relevant message (for versions/markets, where
provided) (see the chapter “Warning lights and
messages”).
The aim of the EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions;
❒indicate the need to replace damaged
components.
The system also has a diagnosis connector that
can be interfaced to suitable instruments, to read
the error codes stored in the control unit together
with a series of specific parameters for engine
operation and diagnosis.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to
check the system completely, Lancia Dealerships
run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which
may also call for a long journey.
