2007 Lancia Musa air condition

USE OF MATERIALS THAT DO NOT HARM THE ENVIRONMENT
None of the car’s components contain asbestos. Padding and the air conditioning system do not contain CFCs
(Chlorofluorocarbides), the gases considered responsible for the destruction of the ozone layer. None of the
colourings and anti-corrosion coatings of the nuts and bolts contain air- or water-table-polluting cadmium or
chromates, but environmentally-friendly substances.
DEVICES FOR REDUCING EMISSIONS (petrol engines)
Three-way catalytic converter (catalytic exhaust pipe)
The exhaust system is equipped with a catalyst made up of noble metal alloys; it is housed in a stainless steel
container capable of withstanding the very high operating temperatures.
The catalyst converts the unburnt hydrocarbons, the carbon monoxide and the nitric oxides found in the exhaust
gases (though in small amounts, thanks to the electronic-injection ignition systems) into non-polluting substances.
When functioning normally, the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures. For this reason do not park the car
over inflammable material (e.g. paper, fuel oil, grass, dead leaves, etc.).
Lambda sensors
The Lambda sensors detect the oxygen content in the exhaust gas. The signal sent by the oxygen sensor is used by
the injection system electronic control unit to constantly mix air and fuel in the correct proportion.
Evaporation control system
As it is impossible to stop the build-up of petrol fumes, also when the engine is not running, the system traps them
in a special container holding active carbon.
The fumes are sucked in from here and burnt while the engine is running.

RECIRCULATION
Set knob E to ….
This function is particularly useful when the outside
air is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tunnel, etc.).
However, it is better not to use it for long periods,
especially if there are several people in the car to
prevent window steaming up.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required “heating” or
“cooling” conditions faster. Do not use the air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside.

AUTOMATIC TWO-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (where provided)
GENERAL
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate control
system which makes it possible to separately adjust
the air temperature on the driver’s side and on the
passenger’s side. Temperature control is based on
the “equivalent temperature” logic, i.e.: the system
continuously works to keep constant the comfort
inside the passenger compartment and to
compensate any variation of the outside climate
conditions, including sunshine detected by a proper
sensor provided for the purpose.
The climate control system automatically controls
and adjusts the following parameters and
functions:
❒air temperature at driver/front passenger vents;
❒air distribution at driver/front passenger vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow variation);❒compressor switching on (to cool/dehumidify
air);
❒air recirculation.
All the above functions can be changed manually at
any time, i.e.: you can always modify one or more
function settings. In this event, the system will no
longer implement the automatic control of the
functions changed manually (except for safety
reasons, e.g.: risk of window misting).
Manual selections prevail over automatic ones and
remain in storage until the user decides to resume
automatic control, except when the system cuts in
for particular safety conditions.
The control of functions not changed manually
remains automatic.
The amount of air admitted to the passenger
compartment does not depend on the car speed,
since it is electronically controlled by the fan.
In any case, the temperature of the air admitted to
the passenger compartment is controlled
automatically (except when the system is off)
according to the temperatures set on the driver’s
and front passenger’s displays or under certain
climatic conditions if the compressor is off).

SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started in different ways, but it is
advisable to press one of the AUTO buttons and
then to turn the knobs to set the temperatures
required on the display.
It is possible to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger) with a maximum difference
of 7 °C.
This way the system will start working completely
automatically to reach the temperatures set as
quickly as possible. The system will adjust the air
temperature, flow and distribution and will control
the air recirculation function and the conditioner
compressor on/off.
During fully automatic operation, the only manual
settings required are the following:
❒MONO, to align the air temperature and
distribution set on the passenger’s side (front or
rear) with that on the driver’s side;
❒…, air recirculation, to keep it always on or
off;
❒-, to speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, front side windows, rear window
and door mirrors;
❒(, to demist/defrost the rear heated window
and the door mirrors.During completely automatic system operation, the
temperatures, air distribution and the fan speed set
can be changed at any time through the relevant
buttons or knobs: the system will automatically
change its settings to adjust to the new
requirements.
During full automatic operation (FULL AUTO),
any change in air distribution and/or air flow
and/or compressor turning on and/or air
recirculation will obtain FULL disappearing. In this
way functions will be controlled manually until
pressing the AUTO button again. The fan speed is
the same for all passenger compartment areas.
With one or more functions engaged manually, the
adjustment of the temperature of the air admitted to
the passenger compartment continues to be
controlled automatically by the system, except with
the climate control compressor off. In fact, in this
condition, the air admitted to the passenger
compartment cannot have a lower temperature than
the outside air.

this is activated by turning the temperature knob
counterclockwise below the min. value (16 °C). It
can be activated independently from the driver’s or
passenger’s side or both (also selecting the MONO
function).
This function can be engaged when requiring to
cool the passenger compartment as quickly as
possible, exploiting the maximum potential of the
system. This function engages inside air
recirculation and climate control compressor, while
air distribution and fan speed are controlled
according to environmental conditions. All manual
settings are however possible with this function on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the
temperature knob clockwise and set the required
temperature.Front air distribution
selection buttons
I-M
Pressing the relevant
buttons it is possible to
manually choose one of the five possible air
distributions to the left and right side of the
passenger compartment:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and front side window
vents to demist or defrost them.
˙Air flow to dashboard central and side vents to
provide satisfactory ventilation to the chest and
face, specially during the summer.
▼Air flow towards the front and rear lower parts of
the passenger compartment. Due to the natural
tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of
distribution allows heating of the passenger com-
partment in the shortest time, also giving a prompt
feeling of warmth to the coldest parts of the body.
˙
▼Splitting of the air flow between the vents to the
lower part of the passenger compartment
(warmest air) and the dashboard centre and side
outlets (coolest air). This air flow distribution is
particularly useful in spring and autumn, when
the sun is shining.
▲
▼Splitting of the air flow between the lower part of
the passenger compartment and the windscreen
and front side window demisting/defrosting vents.
This type of air distribution allows satisfactory
heating of the passenger compartment while pre-
venting possible misting of the windows.

H-N
(automatic
operation)
Pressing the AUTO
button (on driver and/or front passenger side) the
system automatically adjusts the amount and
distribution of the air admitted to the passenger
compartment, cancelling all the previous manual
adjustments.
This condition is indicated by the message FULL
AUTO on the front system display.
Manual operation of at least one automatic function
(air recirculation, air distribution, fan speed or
climate control compressor off) will cause FULL
message going off the display. This means that
automatic control is not complete (except
temperature control which is always automatic).
IMPORTANT Should the system (after manual
settings) be no longer able to guarantee the required
temperature set in the passenger compartment, the
set temperature value will start flashing to indicate
this condition, after one minute the AUTO message
will turn off.
To restore automatic system control after one or
more manual selections, press button AUTO.MONO button A (alignment of set
temperatures and air distribution)
Pressing button MONO automatically
aligns the temperature on the front
passenger’s side with that on the
driver’s side. It is therefore possible to set the same
temperature and air distribution between the two
zones simply turning the knob on the driver’s side.
This function is provided to simplify temperature
adjustment of the whole passenger compartment
when only the driver is on board. Separate
operation of the set temperatures and air
distribution is automatically restored by turning
knob (H) or pressing button MONO (A) again when
the button led is on.
Air recirculation on/
off button C
Air recirculation is controlled
according to the following operating
logics:
❒forced switching on (air recirculation always
on), indicated by the turning on of the led on
button C and symbol íon the display;
❒forced switching off (air recirculation always off
with air inlet from the outside), indicated by the
turning off of the button led and êon the
display.

These operating conditions are obtained pressing in
sequence the air recirculation button C.
After a preset time, the climate control system will
turn air recirculation off automatically for safety
reasons, thus enabling outside air inlet.IMPORTANT The air recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required heating or
cooling conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold
days as it would considerably increase the
possibility of the windows misting inside, especially
if the climate control system is off.
When the outside temperature is below 5-7°C, air
recirculation is switched off (air is taken from the
outside) to prevent misting.
WARNINGIt is inadvisable to use the air recirculation feature with low outside temperature
as the windows might mist over quickly.

Press the
√button, when the button
led is on, to switch the compressor
off. The led will go off. By pressing
again the button when the led is off, the system
automatic control of the compressor activation is
restored; this condition is indicated by button led
lighting up.
When the air conditioner compressor is off, the
system deactivates air recirculation to prevent
window misting up. Although the system is still able
to maintain the required temperature, the message
FULL on the display will go off. If the system is no
longer able to keep the required temperature, also
the message AUTO will turn off.
IMPORTANT Air at a temperature lower than that
of the outside air cannot be let into the passenger
compartment when the compressor is off.
Furthermore, in particular environmental
conditions, the windows could mist up fast because
the air is no longer dehumidified.Setting will be stored also when the engine is
stopped.
Either press again button √(in this case the system
operates as heater only) or AUTO to reset automatic
control of the compressor.
With compressor off, if the outside temperature is
higher than the set temperature, the system cannot
reach the required temperature. This will be
signalled by the flashing of set temperature value on
the display for a few seconds, then the message
AUTO will go off.
When the compressor is off, it is possible to reset
manually the fan speed (no bar displayed).
When the compressor is on and the engine is
running, fan speed cannot be lower than the
minimum (one bar displayed).
