Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to STOP.
The next time the vehicle is started (ignition key turned
to MAR), the sensor is not reactivated even if the lever is
still in position B-fig. 29. To activate the sensor, move the
lever to position A or C and then back to position B.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by at least one
wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is dry.CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed regulator)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled driving assistance de-
vice which allows the vehicle to be driven at a chosen
speed above 30 km/h on long stretches of dry, straight
roads with few variations (e.g. motorways), without hav-
ing to depress the accelerator pedal.
It is therefore not recommended to use this device on
country roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
TURNING THE DEVICE ON
Turn the ring nut A-fig. 31 to ON.
The device must only be switched on in gears higher than
4t
h.
Do not activate the rain sensor when wash-
ing the car in an automatic car wash.
Make sure the device is switched off if there
is ice on the windscreen.
Make sure the device is switched off when-
ever the windscreen is being cleaned.
fig. 31L0E0022m

72KNOWING YOUR CAR
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.

TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
Turn the ring nut A-fig. 31 to OFF or turn the ignition
key to STOP. The device is automatically turned off in
one of the following cases:
❍when the brake or clutch pedal is pressed;
❍if the ASR or Advanced ESP system cuts in (for ver-
sions/markets where provided).
While travelling with the device engaged, do
not place the gear lever in neutral.
In case of malfunction or if the device is
faulty, turn the control A-fig. 31 to OFF and
contact a Lancia Dealership, after checking
that the protective fuse has not blown.
ROOF LIGHTS
FRONT ROOF LIGHT WITH SPOT LIGHTS fig. 32
Switch A is used to switch on/off roof lights.
With the switch A in the middle position, the lights C and
D go on/off when front doors are opened/closed.
With switch A pressed to the left, the lights C and D are
always off. With switch A pressed to the right, the lights
C and D are always on.
Lights switch on/off progressively.
Switch B controls the spot light function; when the roof
light is off, it switches on individually:
❍the light C when pressed to the left;
❍the light D when pressed to the right.
fig. 32L0E0024m

74KNOWING YOUR CAR
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).
