Activation
When the ring nut is turned to the AUTO pos ition the
external lights automatically s witch on depending on the
exterior brightne ss.
The headlight s can only be flashed with the s ensor on.
Deactivation
When the lights are switched off by the sensor, the dipped
beam headlight s and s ide lights are switched off and the
day lights are switched on (if activated).
The sens or is not capable of detecting the pre sence of fog
therefore, in thes e circumstances, the lights have to be
turned on manuall y.
FRONT FOG LIGHT S WITH
C ORNERING LIGHTS FUNCTION
When the dipped beam headlights are on and the speed is
below 40 km/h, if the s teering wheel rotation angle is large
or the direction indicators are on, a light (incorporated
in the fog light) will come on on the relevant side to im-
pr

ove vis ibility at night time. The function can be acti-
vated/deactivated via the di splay menu (s ee “Display”
paragraph in thi s chapter).
AUTOMATIC
HEADLIGHT S ENSOR (dusk sensor)
(for vers ions/markets , where provided)
It detects variation s in brightness outs ide the vehicle de-
pending on the light setting: the greater the sens itivity , the
less outs ide light needed to activate the exterior light s be-
ing turned on. The sens itivity of the dus k sens or may be
adjus ted, us ing the “S etup menu” on the ins trument pan-
el.
The daytime running lights are an alterna-
tive to the dipped beam headlights for driving
during the daytime in countries where it is
compulsory to have lights on during the day, and
they are also permitted in those countries where this
is not obligatory.
Daytime running lights cannot replace dipped beam
headlights when driving at night or through tunnels.
The use of daytime running lights is governed by
the highway code of the country in which you are
driving. Comply with the prescriptions.

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.

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
on the ins trument panel by the flashing of
fwarning light
or the fsymbol appearing on the di
splay along with a
dedicated me ssage (for vers ions/markets where provid-
ed).

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.

REPLACING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❍Before changing a bulb, check the contacts for oxida-
tion;
❍burnt-out bulbs must be replaced by others of the same
type and power;
❍always check the direction of the beam after chang-
ing a headlight bulb, for safety reasons;
❍when a light is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before changing the bulb. For
the location of fuses, refer to the “Replacing fuses”
paragraph in this chapter.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be slight-
ly misted: this does not indicate a fault, it is a natural phe-
nomenon due to low temperature and the air humidity lev-
el. Misting will disappear rap
idly when the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside the headlights in-
dicates infiltration of water. Contact a Lancia Dealership.
Modifications or repairs to the electric sys-
tem that are not carried out properly or do
not take the system technical specifications
into account can cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire. Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure, if
they break glass fragments may be thrown
around.
When handling halogen bulbs just touch the
metal part. If the transparent bulb is touched
with the fingers, its lighting intensity is re-
duced and life of the bulb may be compromised. In
the event of accidental contact, wipe the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and leave it to dry.Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs
changed at a Lancia Dealership. Proper op-
eration and direction of the external lights
are essential for driving in safety and comply with
law.
