is used to maintain the temperature
of the drinks put inside it. For this
reason, the drinks must be warmed
or cooled before being put inside the
compartment.

INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed
after buying the car or in aftermarket
shall bear the and marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the in-
stallation of transceivers provided that
installation is carried out at a special-
ized shop, workmanlike performed
and in compliance with manufac-
turer's specifications.
IMPORTANTInstallation of devices
resulting in modifications of car char-
acteristics may cause driving license
seizing by traffic agents and also the
lapse of the warranty as concerns de-
fects due to the abovementioned mod-
ification or traceable back to it di-
rectly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all respon-
sibility for damages caused by the in-
stallation of non-genuine accessories
or not recommended by Fiat Auto
S.p.A. and installed not in compliance
with the specified requirements. ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY
THE USER
If after buying the car, you decide
to install electrical accessories that
require a permanent power supply
(e.g. satellite antitheft device), or
any other accessory that burden the
electric supply, contact your Lancia
Dealershipwhose qualified person-
nel, besides suggesting the most suit-
able devices belonging to the
Lineaccessori Lancia, will also eval-
uate the total electrical absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric
system is able to withstand the
required load or whether it must be
integrated with a more powerful
battery.

Before actuating the
sunshade, make sure that
no object is placed on the
rear parcel shelf.
MAP POCKETS (fig. 182)
(where provided)
Paper pockets are located on the
back of the front seats.
HANDLES (fig. 183)
They are placed just next to the
doors.
Each rear handle includes a clothes
hook A.

222
SOLAR CELL
OPERATED
SUNROOF
The sunroof is electrically con-
trolled and its operation is possible
only with the ignition key at MAR.
The sunroof can slide lenghtwise,
with various opening positions, until
it fully retracts into the special hous-
ing, or can lift at the front (by pivot-
ing) to allow passenger compart-
ment aeration.
The upper part of the sunroof
incorporates a set of solar cells that
feed the climate control system fan
at first speed when the car is parked
to reduce the temperature inside the
passenger compartment.IMPORTANTBest operation of
the fan when the car is parked is
obtained by closing completely the
windows and sunroof. Furthermore,
to check operation at first speed of
the fan, disengage air vents and set
air distribution from central dash-
board vents only before leaving the
car.
The sunroof is equipped with an
anti-trap safety system, which con-
trols the closing lenghtwise sliding as
well as pivoting.
The electronic control unit that
controls the system is able to detect
the presence of obstacles when the
roof is closing or pivoting at the rear;
in this case, the system will interrupt
the sunroof travel and immediately
reverse it for a short stretch. RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND
CELLULAR TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.:
e-tacs mobile phones, HAM radio
systems and the like) shall not be
used inside the car unless a separate
aerial is mounted outside the car.
The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without
external aerial) may cause electrical
systems equipping the car to mal-
function. This could compromise car
safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and
reception of these devices may be
affected by the shielding effect of the
car body.
As concerns the use of mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS) pro-
vided with official EC approval,
strictly comply with the instructions
given by the mobile phone manufac-
turer.

223
The sunroof must not be
opened in the presence of
snow or ice; otherwise, it
could be damaged.
IMPORTANT On versions fitted
with the Keyless System, do not lay
the CID device outside the car on the
sunroof, to avoid a fake identifica-
tion of the CID itself as if inside the
car. SUNROOF OPENING/CLOSING
AND PIVOTING
All the sunroof functions (opening,
closing and rear pivoting) are con-
trolled by selector A(fig. 184).
Six positions for lenghtwise open-
ing and three for pivoting are pro-
vided (fig. 185).
After rotating the selector, the sun-
roof will move and stop automatical-
ly in the required position.
When the sunroof is opened, a
deflector A (fig. 186) will automati-
cally lift in the front part, which
deviates the air flow.

L0A0284b
Improper use of the sun-
roof can in any case be
dangerous, even if the
anti-trap safety system is avail-
able. Before and during sunroof
actuation, make sure that pas-
sengers are not exposed to the
risk of injuries caused by the
moving roof or by objects pulled
or hit by the roof itself. Always
remove the ignition key when you
leave your car, to prevent the
sunroof from being unintention-
ally actuated, which could be
dangerous for the passengers
inside the car.
