function is active, an LED on the button lights up.
This function is timed and will turn off automatically af-
ter 20 minutes. Press
(again to disable the function in
advance.
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on the inside of the
rear window over the heating filaments to avoid damage
that might cause it to stop working properly.
IMPORTANT Press

Press button G
-to automatically activate the timed op-
eration of all the functions required to rapidly
demist/defrost the windscreen and front windows.
The functions are:
climate control compressor engagement (with an out-
door temperature of above 4°C);
disengagement (if previously engaged) of air recircu-
lation (the LED on button
Tshould be off);
engagement of heated rear windscreen (the LED on
button
-should be on) and door mirror heater coils;
air temperature set to maximum;
activation of air flow.

Air recirculation is carried out according to three possi-
ble operation modes:
automatic control, indicated by the AQS appearing on
the display and the LED on button

forced disablement (air recirculation always off, air
drawn in from the outside), - the LED on button
Tshould be off;
forced engagement (air recirculation always on), the
LED on button
Tshould be lit up.
When OFF is pressed, the climate control system auto-
matically activates air recirculation (the LED on button
Tshould be on). It is still possible to activate outside
air recirculation (LED on the button is off) and vice ver-
sa, by pressing button
T.
With the OFF button pressed (LED on the button is lit
up), it is not possible to enable the AQS (Air Quality Sys-
tem) function.
IMPORTANT The air recirculation system makes it pos-
sible 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 pos-
sibility of the windows misting up inside, especially if the
climate control system is not switched on. It is advisable
to switch internal air recirculation on while in queues or
in tunnels to prevent the introduction of polluted air. Do
not use the function for a long time, particularly if there
are many passengers on board, to prevent the windows
from misting up.Enabling the AQS (Air Quality System) function
The AQS function (AQS appears on the display), auto-
matically activates internal air recirculation when the out-
side air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after 15 con-
secutive minutes of the internal air recirculation system
functioning, the climate control system enables the intake
of outdoor air for approximately 1 minute to freshen the
air in the passenger compartment. This takes place re-
gardless of the pollution level of the outside air.

Switching the climate control compressor

Press button
to switch on the climate control system
compressor.
Compressor engagement
the LED on button
is lit up;
Symbol
is shown on the display.
Compressor disengagement
the LED on button
is off;
symbol
disappears from the display;
internal air recirculation is excluded;
the AQS function is disabled.
With the climate control system compressor disengaged,
it is not possible to introduce air of a lower temperature
than the outside temperature into the passenger com-
partment; in this case the symbol on the display will flash.
The disengagement of the climate control compressor re-
mains in the system memory even after the engine has
been stopped. To engage the climate control compressor
press the button
once again or press AUTO: in this last
case any manual settings will be cancelled.
EXTERNAL LIGHTS
The left-hand lever operates most of the external lights.
The external lights can only be switched on when the ig-
nition key is on MAR. The instrument panel and the var-
ious controls on the dashboard will be illuminated when
the external lights are switched on.
DAYLIGHT lights (D.R.L. - Adaptive Daylight Led)
(where provided)
With the ignition key turned to MAR and the selector wheel
turned to position Othe daylight lights are automatical-
ly activated; the other lights and internal illumination re-
main off. The automatic lighting up of the daytime lights
can be switched on/off using the display menus (see “Dis-
play” section in this chapter). If the daytime lights are
switched off, when the selector wheel is turned to Ono
lights will come on.

STARTING UP AND DRIVING153

Accessories fitted on longitudinal bars
Remove any accessories such as: longitudinal bars, ski
racks, luggage rack, from the roof if they are not being
used. These accessories decrease aerodynamic penetration
and have a negative effect on fuel consumption. It is bet-
ter to use a trailer to transport particularly bulky objects.
Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time needed.
The heated rear windscreen, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount
of energy; increasing the requirement of current increas-
es fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system leads to higher fuel consump-
tion (up to +20% on average): use air vents only when the
external temperature allows.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may adversely
affect air drag and fuel consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the car standing: the en-
gine warms up very slowly in these conditions, increas-
ing fuel consumption and emissions. It is advisable to start
off immediately and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic lights or before
stopping the engine. The latter action, like doubling the
clutch, is unnecessary and causes increased fuel con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road conditions
allow. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase
fuel consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases
fuel consumption, emissions and engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed in-
creases. Keep your speed as even as possible, avoiding un-
necessary braking and acceleration, which cause excessive
fuel consumption and increased emissions.

Check exhaust fumes/emissions
Check evaporation control system
Check engine management system operation (via diagnostic socket)
Replace auxiliary drive belt/s
Replace toothed timing drive belt (*)
Replace spark plugs
Replace air filter cartridge
Change engine oil and oil filter (or every 24 months)(**)
Change brake fluid (or every 2 years)
Change pollen filter (or every 15 months)
(*) Regardless of the km covered, the timing belt should be replaced every 4 years for particularly demanding use (cold climates,
driving in the city, idling for a long time) or in any case every 5 years.
(**) If the car is mainly used in cities or less than 10,000 km a year, change the engine oil and filter every 12 months.
For 1.4 Turbo Jet versions, in order to guarantee correct operation and prevent serious damage to the engine, it is essential to ob-
serve the following:
- only use spark plugs specifically certified for Turbo Jetengines; all spark plugs should be of the same type and brand (see the “En-
gine” paragraph);
- carefully observe the spark plug replacement intervals detailed in the Scheduled Service Plan;
- it is advisable to have this performed at a Lancia Dealership.

246TECHNICAL DATA
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are
determined on the basis of the homologation tests set down
by specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring con-
sumption:
urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that sim-
ulates urban use of the car;
extra urban cycle: frequent acceleration in all gears,
simulating extra urban use of the car: speed varies be-
tween 0 and 120 km/h;combined fuel consumption: calculated based on about
37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of
extra urban consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weath-
er conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car,
trim level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control
system, roof rack and other situations that affect air drag
may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those
measured.
