When the lights have been activated automatically
and are then switched off by the sensor, the
dipped beam headlights are switched off first,
followed by the side lights a few seconds later. If
the sensor is activated but is malfunctioning,
the side lights and dipped beam headlights are
switched on irrespective of the outside light level
and the sensor failure is indicated on the
instrument panel display. It is also possible to
deactivate the sensor and switch on the side lights
and dipped beam headlights.
IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the
presence of fog. Under these circumstances, these
lights are therefore turned on manually.
MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS
To activate the main beam headlights, with ring
nut at

wheel. The warning light
switches on in the
instrument panel.
When the stalk is pulled towards the steering
wheel again, the lights deactivate, the dipped
headlights reactivate and the
warning light
switches off.
It is not possible to switch on the main beam
headlights in fixed mode if the automatic lighting
control system is active.FLASHING
You can flash the headlights by pulling the stalk
towards the wheel (unstable position). The
warning light will come on in the instrument
panel.
DIRECTION INDICATORS

❒If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the
pavement, the Magic Parking system may cause
the car to mount the pavement.
❒Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not
be carried 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 cars, etc.) and intervene
immediately if necessary.
❒During parking manoeuvres, pay attention to
cars approaching from the opposite direction.
Always follow the Highway Code.
IMPORTANT Correct system operation is not
guaranteed if snow chains or emergency wheels
are fitted.
IMPORTANT The correct positioning of the car
inside the parking space detected by the system
depends on various factors, in particular the
circumference of the wheels. For example,
if wheels with a 14" diameter are fitted, the
position of the car inside the parking area could
be slightly different.MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY

All four tyres should be the same (brand and
track) to ensure greater safety when driving and
braking and better driveability. Remember that
you should not change the rotation direction of the
tyres.
WARNING
The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it
is 190 km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for
"H" tyres. The highway code speed limits
must however always be complied with.

SNOW TYRESUse snow tyres of the same size as the normal
tyres provided with the car.
A Lancia Dealership will be happy to provide
advice concerning the most suitable type of tyre
for the customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures
and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph "Wheels" in
section "Technical specifications".
The winter performance of these tyres is
considerably reduced when the tread thickness is
less than 4 mm. Replace them in this case.
Due to their specific features, the performance of
snow tyres is much lower than that of normal
types in normal conditions or long motorway
stretches. Their usage should therefore be
restricted in accordance with their type approval.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a
maximum speed index below the one that can be
reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a
notice in the passenger compartment, plainly in
view, which states the maximum speed allowed by
the snow tyres (as per EC Directive).
WARNING
If you change the type of wheel (alloy
rims instead of steel rims and vice
versa) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably
sized bolts.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay away
from on-coming traffic while the wheel is
being changed. On hills or uneven roads, use
chocks or appropriate objects to block the
wheels of the car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver
wheel fitted. Avoid sudden starting or
stopping, sharp or fast turns. The total life of
a space-saver wheel is approximately 3000
km, after which it must be replaced by
another wheel of the same type. Never install
a standard tyre on a rim that is designed
for use with a space-saver wheel. Have the
tyre repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before fitting
them: they might slip out.

To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒Stop the car in a position that is not dangerous
for oncoming traffic where you can change the
wheel safely. The ground must be flat and
sufficiently compact;
❒switch off the engine, pull up the handbrake
and engage the 1
stgear or the reverse gear.
Wear the reflective safety jacket (compulsory by
law in certain countries) before getting out of
the car;
❒open the luggage compartment, pull tab A
fig. 115 and lift up the mat;❒using the wrench A fig. 116 located in the tool
box, loosen the locking device, take the tool
box B and place it close to the wheel to be
replaced. Then take the space-saver wheel C;

rims, shake the car to facilitate detachment of
the rim from the wheel hub.
❒position the jack under the car, near the wheel
to be changed;
❒operate the device A fig. 118 to extend the jack
until the top of the jack B fig. 119 fits correctly
into the side member C (next to the mark on
the side member);
❒alert other passengers that the car is about to be
raised; all persons should be kept away from the
car until it has been lowered;❒fit handle D fig. 118 into the housing in device
A, operate the jack and raise the car until the
wheel is a few centimetres from the ground;
❒remove the wheel cap after loosening the 3
fixing bolts and finally loosen the fourth bolt
and extract the wheel (only for versions with
wheel caps fixed by bolts);
❒make sure the contact surfaces between
space-saver wheel and hub are clean so that the
fastening bolts will not come loose;
❒fit the space-saver wheel by inserting the first
bolt for two threads into the hole closest to the
valve;
❒take the wrench A fig. 117 and fully tighten the
fixing bolts;
❒operate the jack handle D to lower the car. Then

WHEELS AND TYRESBefore long trips, and every two weeks, check the
tyre and space-saver wheel inflation pressure
(for versions/markets, where provided). Check the
tyres when cold.
While driving the car, the pressure increases under
standard conditions: for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear
fig. 164:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn;
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the
edges;
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less
than 1.6 mm thick. In any case, follow the laws
in force in the country where you are driving.
IMPORTANT
Take the following precautions to prevent damage
to the tyres:
❒avoid braking suddenly, racing starts and
violent impact against the curb, potholes or
other obstacles and driving for extended periods
on uneven road surfaces;
❒periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in
the side wall, abnormal swelling or irregular
tyre wear;
❒avoid travelling with the car overloaded. If you
have a puncture, stop immediately and change
the tyre;
❒tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks
in the tread rubber and at the sides are a sign of
ageing. In any case, if the tyres have been on
the car for over 6 years, they should be checked
by specialised personnel. Also remember to
check the space-saver wheel very carefully (for
versions/markets, where provided);
❒change the position of the tyres every 10-15
thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same
side of the car to avoid inverting the direction
of rotation;
