FUEL CUT OFF
SWITCH

The switch is located on the bottom of

the car, near the pillar on passenger

side. Move the carpet aside to reach

the switch. It is tipped by a crash and

cuts off the fuel feed, thus stopping

the engine.

When the device is activated the

warning light 

è

turns on together

with the relevant message on the re-

configurable multifunctional display

(for versions/markets, where pro-

vided).

Inspect the car carefully for fuel leak-

ages (e.g. in the engine compart-

ment), under the car or near the fuel

tank.

If, after a crash, you smell
fuel or see leaks from the

fuel system, do not reset the switch
to avoid fine risk.

WARNING

fig. 81

L0D0388m

Press button A-fig. 81 to reactivate

the fuel feed system if no leakage is

found and the car is worthy of re-

suming travel.  

After the accident, remember to turn

the ignition key to  STOP to prevent

draining the battery.

POWER SOCKETS (12V) 

They only work with the ignition key

at MAR.

Socket A-fig. 93 is located in front

position. Socket  A is replaced by a

cigar lighter in cars with smoker’s kit.

For versions/markets, where pro-

vided, the car may be equipped with

power socket  C-fig. 94 also on the

left of the boot.

Cigar lighter fig. 95 

It is located on the central console

by the side of the handbrake.

Press the button with the ignition

switch at MAR. The button will auto-

matically return to the initial position

after approximately  15 seconds and

the cigar lighter is ready for use. 

IMPORTANT Always check that the

cigar lighter has turned itself off.

Ashtray fig. 96

The ashtray is a removable plastic box

that can be fitted into the glass/can

recesses on the central tunnel.

IMPORTANT Do not use the box as

an ashtray and a waste paper basket

at the same time: it might set on fire

in contact with cigarette stubs.

SUN VISORS 

These are arranged at the sides of the

internal rearview mirror. They may be

oriented frontally and to the side.

A courtesy mirror can be applied to

the back of sun visors, according to

the version.

To use the mirror, open the sliding

flap A-fig. 96 (for versions/markets,

where provided).

SUNROOF

(for versions/markets, where provided) 

The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety

system capable of detecting the pres-

ence of an object whilst the roof is

closing; when this happens the system

stops and the glass travel is immedi-

ately reversed. The large “Skydome”

sunroof consists of two glass panels,

one fixed and one mobile, with sun

curtains which can be opened and

closed manually. The sun roof can

only be operated with the ignition key

in the  MARposition. The button near

the front ceiling lights is used to open

and close the roof.

To open

Hold button B-fig. 97 pressed: the

front glass panel will go to spoiler po-

sition. Hold B pressed again for longer

than half a second to move the roof

automatically to end of travel posi-

tion. Press the button again to stop

the roof in an intermediate position.

The dipped headlamps are adjusted

for service in the country where the

car was originally purchased.

HEADLIGHTS

BEAM DIRECTION

Correction direction of the headlights

is essentially for the comfort and

safety of the driver and the other road

users. The headlights must be cor-

rectly directed to ensure the best vis-

ibility conditions when the headlights

are on. Contact Lancia Dealership to

have the headlights properly adjusted.

HEADLIGHT CORRECTOR 

This device works with the key at

MAR and the dipped beam headlights

on. The car will slant backwards

when it is loaded, raising the light

beam. The beams must therefore be

directed again in this case.

Never operate the sunroof
when roof bars are fitted.

AND

ABS SYSTEM 

The car is fitted with an ABS braking

system, which prevents the wheels

from locking when braking, makes

the most of road grip and gives the

best control when emergency braking

under difficulty road conditions.

System is completed by EBD (Elec-

tronic Braking force Distribution),

which distributes the braking action

between front and rear wheels.

IMPORTANT The braking system

needs to settle for approximately 500

km:  during this time, avoid sudden,

repeated and prolonged braking.

SYSTEM INTERVENTION

Intervention of the ABS is detected by

a slight pulsing of the brake pedal ac-

companied by noise: such an event in-

dicates that you need to adjust your

speed to the type of road on which

you are travelling.

MECHANICAL BRAKE ASSIST 
(emergency braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)

This system (which cannot be deacti-

vated) recognises emergency braking

conditions according to the speed of

operation of the brake pedal and pro-

vides an additional hydraulic braking

pressure to support that provided by

the driver. This allows faster and

more powerful operation of the

braking system.

IMPORTANT When the Mechanical

Brake Assist is activated noises can be

heard from the system. This is nor-

mal. Anyway, while braking keep the

brake pedal depressed.

When the ABS intervenes
it means that you are ap-

proaching the grip limit between
tyres and road: slow down to ex-
ploit all the available grip.

WARNING

The ABS exploits the tyre-
road grip at the best, but it

cannot improve it; you should
therefore take every care when dri-
ving on slippery surfaces without
taking unnecessary risks.

WARNING

FAILURE INDICATIONS

ABS failure

ABS failure is indicated by the turn-

ing on of warning light > on the in-

strument panel together with the ded-

icated message on the multifunctional

display (for versions/markets, where

provided), (see section “Warning

lights and messages”). 

In the case, the braking system will

work as normal without the extra po-

tentials offered by the ABS system.

Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia

Dealership to have the system

checked.

EBD failure

ABS failure is indicated by the

turning on warning lights > and

x

EOBD SYSTEM

The EOBD system (European On

Board Diagnosis) allows continuous

diagnosis of the components of the car

correlated with emissions.

It also alerts the driver, by turning on

the warning light 

U

on the instru-

ment panel (together with relevant

message on the multifunctional dis-

play, for versions/markets, where pro-

vided) (see section “Warning lights

and messages”), when these condi-

tions are no longer in peak conditions.

The objective is:
❒ to keep the system efficiency under

control;

❒ warn when a fault causes emissions

levels to increase;

❒ to signal the need to replace deteri-

orated components.

In this case, the rear wheels may sud-

denly lock and the car may swerve.

Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia

Dealership to have the system

checked.

The system also has a diagnostic con-

nector that can be interfaced with ap-

propriate tools, which makes it possi-

ble to read the error codes stored in

the control unit, together with a series

of specific parameters for engine op-

eration and diagnosis. This check can

also be carried out by the traffic po-

lice.

IMPORTANT After eliminating the

inconvenience, to check the system

completely, Lancia Dealerships are

obliged to run a bench test and, if

necessary, road tests which may also

call for a long journey.

When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal

pulsating, do not remove your foot,
but keep it pressed; in doing so you
will stop in the shortest amount of
space possible under the current
road conditions.

WARNING

If warning light 

xonly

lights up on the instrument

panel (with a message on the mul-
tifunctional display, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided),
stop the car immediately and go to
the nearest Lancia Dealership.
Leakage of hydraulic fluid from
the braking system will compro-
mise functionality of the braking
system, either of the conventional
type or with ABS.

WARNING

Go to a Lancia Dealership
as soon as possible if warn-
ing light Ueither does not
light up when the key is

turned to MAR to if while travelling
the warning lights comes on either
steady or blinking (along with a
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, where provided). The opera-
tion of warning light U may be
checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are
driving.

improve consumption and ensure the

best driving style.

NOTE: the indication in the instru-

ment panel remains on until the dri-

ver makes a gear change or until the

driving conditions return to a situa-

tion where a gear change is not re-

quired to improve consumption.
