ABS
The car is fitted with an ABS brak-
ing system that prevents the wheels
locking when braking, it exploits the
grip on the road surface holding the
car in the case of sudden braking.
The driver becomes aware of the
ABS activation through a slight throb-
bing of the brake pedal and the rele-
vant noise it makes.
This does not indicate brake mal-
functioning, it is an indication to the
driver that the ABS is operating. It is
a warning that the car is travelling at
borderline road grip and therefore the
speed should be adjusted to the type
of road surface.
The ABS is an addition to the basic
braking system; in the case of a fail-
ure it disables, leaving the braking
system in the same conditions as a ve-
hicle without ABS installed.
COMPENSATION
FOR THE UPWARD SLANT
OF THE HEADLIGHT BEAMS
When the car is loaded, it “slopes”
backwards. This means that the head-
light beam rises. In this case it is nec-
essary to return it to the correct posi-
tion.
The car is fitted with an electric ad-
juster (fig. 84) situated at the side of
the handbrake:
Position 0 - one or two people on the
front seats.
Position 1 - five people.
Position 2 - five people + load in
luggage compartment.
Position 3 - driver + maximum per-
missible load all in the boot.

Check the positioning of
the headlight beams every
time you change the load
to be carried.
IMPORTANT In order that the ad-
juster operates properly, the load in
the boot must not exceed the maxi-
mum values indicated.
ADJUSTING THE BEAM
OF THE FRONT FOGLIGHTS
Ask a LANCIA Dealership to check
and, if necessary, adjust the beam for
you.
