LIGHT BEAM ALIGNMENT
The correct aiming of the headlights i s important for the
comfort and s afety of not only the driver but all other road
u sers . This is als o covered by a specific rule of the high-
way code.
The headlights must be correctly aimed to guarantee the
bes t vis ibility conditions for all drivers while travelling
with headlights on.
Contact a Lancia Dealer ship to have the headlight s prop-
erly adjus ted.
Check beam alignment every time the load or its distrib-
ution changes .
ANGLE COMPENS ATION fig .69
The car is fitted with an electric headlight alignment sys-
tem. This system i s operational with the ignition key
turned to MAR and the dipped beam headlight s on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes backward s. This mean s
the headlight beam ri se s.
In this case, it is necessary to adjust the beams using but-
tons A and B.
The dis play pr

ovides a visual indication of the pos itions
during adju stment. C
orrect positions dependin g on the load
Pos ition 0 - one or two people in the front seats .
Pos ition 1 - five passengers .
Pos ition 2 - five people + load in the boot.
Pos ition 3 - driver + maximum permitted load stowed in
the luggage compartment.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
Dipped headlights are adjusted to drive in the country
where the vehicle wa s originally purchased. When trav-
elling in countrie s with oppos ite driving direction, to avoid
dazzling the drivers on the other side of the road, y ou need
to cover area s of the headlight according to the Highwa y
code of the countr y y ou are travelling in.
ADAPTIVE LIGHTS (AFS - Adaptive Xenon Lig ht)
This is a system combined with Xenon headlight s which
directs the main light beam and continuous ly and auto-
matically adapts it to the driving conditions round
bends /when cornering. The system directs the light beam
to light up the road in the bes t way, taking into account
the speed of the vehicle, the bend/corner angle and the
s peed of s teering. Activating
/deactivating the system fig . 70
The adaptive light s are automaticall y activated when the
car is s tarted. In this s ituation the LED (amber) on but-
ton A will r

emain off.
Press button A to deactivate the adaptive light s (if acti-
vated); they will be deactivated and the LED on button
A will come on cons tantly. Press AFS button again to turn
the adaptive light s on (LED off on the button).
In the event of a system failure, an indication i s provided

SENS ORS
While searching for a parking place, the system uses s ide
s ens ors (see fig. 78).
Thes e sens ors are automatically activated below around
30 km/h; during thi s s tage if the driver ha s ju st passed a
s pace that might be us eful for a manoeuvre, the function
can be reques ted using the s pecial button; at this point the
ins tructions for carry ing out the manoeuvre will be s hown
on the dis play. If the function is not requested by the dri-
ver us ing the s pecial button, no information will be di s-
play ed on the ins trument panel. OPERATION
The assi
sted parking manoeuvre can onl y be activated with
the ins trument panel on and at speeds below about 30
km/h. It is divided into the following stages :
❍ Activation: pr

essing the button fig. 79 activates the
s earch stage.
❍ Search: through s ide sens ors, the system continuous -
l y s earches for a free parking space, suitable to the vehi-
cle dimens ions. The driver determine s on which s ide of the
road they intend to park us ing the direction indicators
(if no information i s available from the direction indica-
tors or hazard warning lights, the search takes place on
the passenger side).

To select the s earch and manoeuvring s ide, the driver
mus t:
1) D Choos
e to carry out the search for the s pace and
the manoeuvre on the pa ssenger side with:
❍ the direction indicator in the middle po sition;
❍ the hazard warning light s on;
❍ the hazard warning lights on and the direction indi-
cator in the pa ssenger side pos ition;
❍ the direction indicator pointing toward s the passenger
s ide.
2) F Choos
e to carry out the search for the space and the
manoeuvre on the driver side with:
❍ the direction indicator in the driver’ s s ide pos ition;
❍ the hazard warning lights on and the direction indi-
cator in the driver side pos ition;
The system will notify the driver, on the s ide in which the
s earch and the manoeuvre are taking place b y means of ded-
icated messages in the instrument panel dis play and the
symbols (
F and
D) differ

ent on the right and left s ides.
The search will, however, take place on both sides , there-
fore it is possible to make the selection us ing the direc-
tion indicators even when having ju st driven pas t a park-
ing space that is deemed suitable. During the s
earch stage, the s peed must not exceed 30
km/h; when 25 km/h have been reached, the driver i s s ig-
nalled to decreas e the speed; if a s peed of 30 km/h i s ex-
ceeded, the system is deactivated; in thi s cas e, the sys-
tem mus t be restarted by pressing the button
S.
If the Lane crossing function is activated (see “Exterior
lights ” paragraph) the s earch for the parking space always
takes place on the pa ssenger side.
If the parking sens ors are activated during the search for
a parking s pace (see “Front and rear parking sens ors”
paragraph), the operation of the Magic Parking system
i s deactivated.
The search for the parking space and the
parking manoeuvres must be carried out in
compliance with the current regulations of the
Highway Code.

Proceed as follows:
❍engage the handbrake;
❍put the gear lever into neutral;
❍turn the ignition key to MAR: the
m
and
Y
warn-
ing lights on the instrument panel will turn on;
❍wait for the warning lights
Y
and
m
to turn off. The
hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;
❍fully depress the clutch pedal without operating the ac-
celerator;
❍turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as the
m
warn-
ing light goes out. Waiting too long will waste the heat-
ing work carried out by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.IMPORTANT With cold engine, the accelerator pedal shall
be completely released while turning the ignition key to
AV V.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, turn the
ignition key to STOP again before repeating the procedure.
If instrument panel
Y
warning light remains lit when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, turn the key to STOP and
then back to MAR; if the warning light remains lit, try the
other keys provided with the vehicle. Contact a Lancia Deal-
ership if you still cannot start the engine.
The
m
warning light will flash for 60 sec-
onds after starting or during prolonged
cranking to indicate a fault with the glow
plug pre-heating system. Use the car normally if the
engine starts and go to a Lancia Dealership as soon
as possible.

SAVING FUELSome useful tips are given below for saving fuel and re-
ducing harmful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (ni-
trogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter
(PM), etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval of
no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, con-
sumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded luggage compartment.
The weight of the car (especially when driving in town)
and its ride greatly affect consumption and stability.Accessories installed on longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like
: roof racks, ski racks, luggage con-
tainer, etc. from the roof if they are no longer used. These
accessories lower aerodynamic penetration and adverse-
ly affect consumption levels. When transporting particu-
larly large objects, use a trailer if possible.
Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time needed.
The heated rear window, additional headlights, wind-
screen/rear window wipers and heater fan need a con-
siderable amount of energy, therefore increasing fuel con-
sumption (by up to 25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
Using the climate control system leads to higher fuel con-
sumption (on average up to +20%). If the temperature
outside permits, try and use the vent
ilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic control
may adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.
