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.

During the winter, the climate control system must
be turned on at least once a month for about ten
minutes. Before summer, have the system checked
at a Lancia Dealership.

Air temperature
adjustment knobs H-N
Turning the knobs
clockwise or
counterclockwise,
highers or lowers the temperature of the air
required respectively in the left zone (knob N) or
right zone (knob H) of the passenger compartment.
It is possible to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger) with a maximum difference
of 7 °C.
The temperatures set are shown on the displays
near the relevant knobs.
Pressing button A (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 between the two zones simply
turning the knob on the driver’s side N.
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 is
automatically restored by turning knobs H or
pressing button A (MONO) again when the button
led is on.Turning the knobs clockwise or counterclockwise
until they reach the extreme selections HI or LO,
the maximum heating or cooling functions are
respectively engaged:
❒HI function (highest heating power):
this is activated by turning the temperature knob
clockwise above the max. value (32 °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
heat the passenger compartment as quickly as
possible, exploiting the maximum potential of the
system. This function uses the maximum
temperature of the coolant fluid, while air
distribution and fan speed are controlled according
to the system settings.
More particularly, max. fan speed will not be
immediately engaged if coolant is not hot enough;
this to prevent admitting air that is not warm
enough to the passenger compartment.
All manual settings are however possible with this
function on.

To switch the function off, simply turn the

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

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.

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.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be noted:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-
ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❒disconnect battery terminals (first disconnect the
negative terminal) and check the battery charge.
This check is to be repeated every three months
when the car is left inactive. Recharge if the
optical indicator shows a dark colour without the
central green area;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds readily available;❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper blades and
lift them off the glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic
as they do not allow moisture on the car body to
evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the normal
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery from the
electric system, check its charge every month
and recharge it if the optical indicator shows a
dark colour without the central green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.

Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning light on the dial turns
on, but it should go off after few seconds.
The warning light turns on (together with the message on the display)
when the engine is overheated. If the warning light comes on when
driving, proceed as follows:
❒normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and
check whether the water level in the reservoir is not below the MIN
mark. Otherwise wait for few seconds to allow engine cooling, then
open slowly and carefully the cap, top up coolant and check
whether its level is falling between MIN and MAX marks in the
reservoir. Check visually any leak. If when restarting the warning
light comes on again, contact a Lancia Dealership;

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
The coolant level shall be checked with cold engine and shall be
included between the MIN and MAX mark on the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture of 50% distilled water and
50% FL Selenia PARAFLU UP through the filler neck.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP and distilled water gives freeze
protection to –35°C.
IMPORTANT Do not remove the reservoir cap when the engine is hot:
you risk scalding yourself.
