trol for at leas t 1 second.
IMPORTANT Where provided, after there ha s been no
power supply for the control units (battery replaced or dis -
connected or protective fu se s for the electric window con-
trol units replaced), the automatic operation of the win-
dows must be res tored. The res
toration procedure mu st be performed a s des cribed
below with the door s clos ed:
1. completely open the driver’ s door window keeping the
operating button pre ssed for at least three seconds af-

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.

IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and is caused by a system to prevent the
motor from overheating. No servicing is required. The
power steering system will s tart working normall y again
the next time the car is used.TPMS SYSTEM
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
(for vers ions/markets , where provided)
The car may be equipped with a TPMS (Tyre Pre ssure
Monitoring System). This system compris es a radio fre-
quency transmitter fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim
ins ide the ty re), which i s able to send information on the
t y re inflation pressure of each wheel to the control unit.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE TPMS
The fault indication s are not s tored and will therefore
not be dis played after the engine ha s been s witched off
and then on again. If the fault condition s pers is t, the con-
trol unit will s end the relative indication s to the ins tru-
ment panel only after the car ha s been in motion for a
s hort time.
Before starting any servicing operation, stop
the engine and remove the key from the ig-
nition switch to operate the steering lock, par-
ticularly when the wheels do not touch 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 run-
ning), remove the main electric power steering sys-
tem fuse.

REPLACING A BULB
GENERAL 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 rapidly 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.
