winds creen wiper with a single movement; the latter turn s
on automatically if you keep the lever pulled for more than
half a s econd. The wind screen wiper s tops operating a few

REAR WINDOW WAS HER/WIPER
This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.
Turn the ring nut to
‘to operate the rear window wiper.
With the winds creen wiper on, turn the ring nut to
'to
turn on the rear window wiper. In thi s cas e the wiper works
(in the different pos itions) timed with the winds creen
wiper, but at half speed. With the wind screen wiper on,

dow wiper on, in continuou s s low operation. Operation
s tops when revers e is dis engaged.
Do not use the windscreen or rear window
wiper to remove layers of snow or ice from
the windscreen. In such conditions, the wiper

protection, which prevents operation for a few sec-
onds, may intervene. If rear window wiper opera-
tion is not reset, contact a Lancia Dealership.

1DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque)
This system is incorporated with the E SP control unit and
s ugges ts s teering corrections whilst driving via the electric
power steering. The system applies a torque to the steer-
ing wheel which increa se s the s afety perception of the ve-
hicle, maintaining control of the steering and making the
intervention of the Advanced ES P system less intrus ive.
SPORT FUNCTION
(for versions/markets , where provided)
The vehicle ma y be equipped with a system that allows a
choice between two s ty les of driving, normal and sports .
Pressing the S PORT button fig. 71 produces s porty dri-
ving featuring higher acceleration re spons e and more ef-
fort required on the s teering wheel to produce thi s effect.
When the function is active, “S” is lit up in the ins trument
panel. Press the button again to turn the function off and
re store the normal driving setting.

Under no circumstances should aftermarket
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.
installation of anti-theft device). This could nega-
tively affect performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty, cause serious safety problems and also
result in vehicle non-compliance with type-ap-
proval requirements.
Before servicing the car, switch off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition device
to activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels are not touching the
ground. If this is not possible (i.e. if the key must be
kept in the MAR position or the engine must be kept
running), remove the main electric power steering
system fuse.On some versions, with the CITY function ac-
tivated, the SPORT function is not available.
To activate the SPORT function, deactivate the
CITY function and vice versa, because they are rec-
iprocally incompatible.
IMPORTANT The function i s activated about 5 s econds
after the S PORT button is pressed.
IMPORTANT The s teering may become stiffer during
parking manoeuvres including a great deal of s teering.
This is normal and caus ed by the system preventing the
electric control motor overheating. No repair s are needed.
The power s teering system will s tart working normall y
again the next time the car i s u sed.

In “normal” operating mode, active shock abs orbers ad-
jus t car s uspens ions, adapting them to the ty pe of road
and to the driving stresse s, improving driving comfort in
particular on rough terrain.
In “S PORT” operating mode, the letter “S ” is lit up on the
ins trument panel dis play. This function produces a sports
driving setting featuring greater res ponsiveness during ac-
celeration and a s ports driving feeling with the steering,
a s well as the regulation and di stribution of the damping
at the s hock abs orbers guaranteeing greater vehicle pre-
cis ion and reaction, whils t maintaining a good level of
comfort. The driver will notice that the vehicle i s more
precis e when cornering and quicker in changing direction.
This function is particularly useful whenever maximum
performance i s required for a short time (e.g. when over-
taking).
IMPOR

TANT During acceleration, when the SPORT func-
tion is used, the s teering may s hudder, which i s t ypical
of a s ports setting.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the S PORT button is pressed.
REACTIVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM
(Active shock absorber system)
This system interacts with the Sport function (s ee “Sport
function” paragraph).
The SPORT button, fig. 72, allow s y ou to choos e between
two different driving s ettings depending on the route ty pe
and on the road s urface:
– with the button releas ed: “normal” mode
– with the button pressed: “S PORT” mode.

OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system becomes active only if the
following condition s are met:
❍ always keep at lea st one hand on the steering wheel;
❍ vehicle speed between 65 km/h and 180 km/h;
❍ pres ence of lane demarcation line s not deteriorated and
vis ible on both sides ;
❍ suitable vis ibility conditions ;
❍ straight line or wide radiu s bends ;
❍ visual field condition s ufficient (safe distance from ve-
hicle in front).
OPERATION
The
system is not on when the vehicle i s s tarted. It i s on-
l y activated when the button
ein the das hboard is
pressed. The LED on the button s witches on to confirm
that the system has been activated and a dedicated me s-
s age appear s on the dis play. When activated, the system
s tarts recognis ing operating condition s (condition signalled
to the driver by the LED on the button and the
esym-
bol on the ins trument panel flas hing). Once the system has
recognis ed the operating condition s, it become s active.
Therefore: the
eicon in the ins trument panel s witches off
and the LED on the button remain s on cons tantly.
IMPORTANT If the operating condition s are no longer
pres ent then the system will deactivate. Thi s i s s ignalled

DEACTIVATING THE S YSTEM
Manual mode
The system can be deactivated b y pressing button A - fig.
73 in the das hboard.
Confirmation that the system has been switched off is giv-
en by the LED in the button and the message 1 - fig.74
in the dis play going out.
S
Y STEM AC TIVATION/DEAC TIVATION
With the system on, if the vehicle approaches one of the
lines defining the s ide of the lane, a torque is applied to
the steering wheel to let the driver know which direction
to steer in order to s tay within the lane. If the driver turn s
on the direction indicator in order to change lane s or for
overtaking, then the system will s witch off momentarily.
If the driver wi shes to change lanes without turning the
direction indicator on, then there will be a warning from
the steering wheel that the y are about to cross the line.
If the driver continues with the manoeuvre to change lane s,
the system will be temporaril y deactivated and then switch
back on again once it ha s r

ecognized the new driving lane.
The driver i s advis ed of this temporary deactivation b y the
flas hing of the LED on the button and the fla shing of the
eamber symbol on the di splay .
IMPORTANT The force applied to the steering wheel by
the system is s ufficient for the driver to notice it but they
can eas ily override it and maintain control of the vehicle.
