AIR VENTS
The car is fitted with three air
vents set on the dashboard: two
vents A(fig. 118) on driver side and
one B (fig. 119) on passenger side,
sending air in the passenger com-
partment in a “diffused” mode.
This particular function conveys air
at low speed, about half of the usual
flow, through additional vents.
Moreover, it reduces the air impact
on the passengers and the noise due
to the air coming out of the vents,
thus improving the passengers' com-
fort.IMPORTANTWhen the outside
temperature is very high (over 30°C),
to reach the selected temperature as
soon as possible, it is suggested to op-
erate air vents only after the system
has reached steady working condi-
tions.
IMPORTANTOn versions equipped
with solar cell operated sunroof
(where provided), to check operation
at first speed of climate control sys-
tem fan when the car is parked, dis-
engage air vents and set air distribu-
tion from central dashboard vents
only before leaving the car.

Air vents (open) are actually used
only when the control for directing
air flow on the instrument panel is
operated.
Air vents are opened by rotating
the dashboard central vent knobs
beyond the upper stop limit (fig.
120):
– control Afor air vents on driver
side
– control Bfor air vent on passen-
ger side.
At the stop limit of these controls
there is a button which, if pressed,
sends a signal to the climate system
control unit.

CONTROLS
HAZARD LIGHTS (fig. 124)
These come on when switch Ais
pressed, regardless of the position of
the ignition key.
When these lights are on, the switch
and the direction indicator warning
lights on the instrument panel flash.
Press the switch again to turn the
lights off.
IMPORTANTThe use of hazard
lights is governed by the traffic regu-
lations of the country where the car is
being driven. These laws should be
complied with.

Press button Ato switch the fog
lights 5on (when the outside lights
are on).
When front fog lights are on, the
warning light 5 on the instrument
panel turns on.
When driving, if side lights are
turned off while front fog lights are
on, the fog lights turn off as well and

turned to STOPand will not come on
again when the engine is started un-
less button Ais pressed.Press again button Ato switch the
lights off.

quently, use the light only when re-
quired.
IMPORTANTFollow the local pre-
scriptions governing the use of rear
fog lights. The rear fog light system
complies with EEC/ECE standards.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
(EPB) (fig. 133)
The car is fitted with the EPB
(Electric Parking Brake) that cuts in
when switching the engine off and
will cut out when starting the engine
and pressing the accelerator pedal
(for manual gearbox versions when
releasing the clutch pedal at the
same time). The EPB can also be
disengaged manually by pressing
button Aset on the central console
with engine running or ignition key
to MAR.
After disengaging the EPB manual-
ly, when opening the driver’s door
the EPB will re-engage automatical-
ly, press button Aagain to disengage
it.The button shape is rather large so
the brake can be engaged rapidly,
even by the passenger, in case of
emergency.
The advantages of this system, com-
pared to the usual lever, are several:
– no effort should be made to
engage and disengage the parking
brake
– the parking brake efficiency is
always at top level in any using con-
dition, contrary to the lever which
guarantees the car complete stop only
when fully lifted
– the EPB is controlled by electric
wires, therefore all problems regard-
ing transmission cables, such as
adjustments, freezing or tears, no
longer exist
– improved safety as a result of the
sophisticated electronic control sys-
tem, similar to the ABS one, prevent-
ing wheels from blocking if the park-
ing brake is engaged during driving
– improved safety when the car is
stationary and children are left
inside the car; in this case the brake
cannot be disengaged if the ignition
key is at STOPor removed– it has automatic functions that
other systems lack.
When the parking brake is engaged
and the ignition key is at MAR, the
instrument panel warning light x
turns on.
This warning light turns on when
the parking brake reaches its highest
working level, and it turns off when
the brake is disengaged and com-
pletely released. Unlike usual park-
ing brakes, whose warning light
turns on even when the lever is lift-
ed a little bit, the EPB system warn-
ing light turns on only when the car
has come to a complete stop.
When the brake is engaged, a typi-
cal noise can be heard by the driver;
the parking brake is completely
engaged or disengaged when the
operating noise stops.

When engaging the park-
ing brake keep the brake
pedal always depressed.

Fault indication
The system is controlled by an elec-
tronic control unit signalling possible
failures by turning on the s! warn-
ing light on the multifunction display
together with the message “EPB
FAULT - GO TO DEALER”.
For a higher safety, every time the
parking brake button is pressed dur-
ing a failure, a buzzer will sound to
draw the driver’s attention and the
xwarning light will turn on.
If the parking brake does not reach
the required working force (e.g.
when the battery is partially flat),
the instrument panel warning light
xstarts flashing.
In case of instrument panel warn-
ing light xfault, the s!warning
light on the multifunction display
turns on together with the message
“EPB INDICATOR FAULT - GO TO
DEALER” to informthe driver
about the dangerous situation. In case of failure indi-
cated by the related
warning light and mes-
sage turning on, drive carefully to
a Lancia Dealership because the
parking brake might not work.
Emergency disengagement
The electric parking brake is fitted
with an independent battery which
can be used to disengage the brake,
for instance when the car main bat-
tery is completely flat or it has bro-
ken after an accident.The additional battery, always
kept charged by a dedicated elec-
tronic control unit, can engage and
disengage the parking brake when it
is necessary to push manually the
car.
To engage and disengage the elec-
tric parking brake when the car
main battery is completely flat, turn
the key to MARand press the main
button on the central console.
