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

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

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.

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).

❍Ultras ound source (e.g. pneumatic brakes of trucks or
air drill s) nearby could negatively influence the sens or
performance.
❍ Sens ors may detect a non-exi stent obs tacle (echo in-
terference) due to mechanical interference, for exam-
ple while wa shing the car, rain, s trong wind, hail.
❍ The sens ors might not detect objects of a particular
s hape or made from particular material s (very thin
poles , trailer beams , panels, nets, bushes, parking de-
terrents , rubbish bins, motor vehicles , etc.). Always take
great care, checking that the car and it s path are ef-
fectively compatible with the parking area identified by
the system.
❍ The us e of (one or more) ty res or rims of a different s ize
to thos e pr

es ent when the vehicle wa s purchas ed could
affect the operation of the system.
❍ If the batter y i s dis connected or very run down, before
the Magic Parking system is available it is necessary
to drive a few hundred metre s, not in a straight line,
to initiali se the system.
❍ If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly inserted) the
Magic Parking system will automaticall y be dis abled.
❍ If the Magic Parking system is in “search in progress”
mode, the system could incorrectl y identify a parking
s pace and carry out the manoeuvre (e.g. by a junction,
carriage track, roads crossing the direction of travel,
etc.) ❍
In the ca se of parking manoeuvres on roads on a gra-
dient, the performance of the system could be inferior
and it may deactivate.
❍ If a parking manoeuvr
e is being carried out between
two vehicles parked on the pavement, the Magic Park-
ing system may cause the vehicle to mount the pave-
ment.
❍ Some manoeuvres at very tight bend s may not be car-
ried out.
❍ Take great care to ens ure that conditions do not change
during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if there are pers ons
and/or animals in the parking area, moving vehicle s,
etc.) and intervene immediatel y if necessary .
❍ During parking manoeuvres , pay s pecial attention to
vehicles approaching from the oppo site direction. Al-
ways follow the Highway Code.
