MULTIFUNCTIONAL
DISPLAY
(on two-line modal
panel)
The car can be equipped with a multi-
function display that shows useful in-
formation for car driving according to
the settings made. ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE fig. 25
Warning light Aturns on to indicate
that the temperature of the engine
coolant has remarkably increased. In
this case, stop the engine and go to a
Lancia Dealership. This shows the tem-
perature of the engine coolant fluid and
starts working when the fluid temper-
ature exceeds approx. 50°C. In regular
operating conditions the needle moves
to the different positions allowed inside
the gauge according to the car operat-
ing conditions and management of the
engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT If the needle gets posi-
tioned at the beginning of the scale
(temperature low) and the warning
lightAis on, a failure has occurred in
the system. If this is the case, go to a
Lancia Dealership to have the system
checked.
If the needle indicating the
engine coolant temperature
reaches the red area, stop
the engine immediately and
contact a Lancia Dealership.

“STANDARD” SCREEN fig. 26
The standard screen shows the fol-
lowing information:
AOdometer (viewing of covered km
or miles)
BTime (always displayed, even with
ignition key removed and front
doors closed)
CHeadlight aiming position (only
with dipped beam headlights on).
NOTE When opening one of the front
doors, the display turns on and shows
the clock and the kilometres or miles

IMPORTANT The fast window
demisting/defrosting function remains
engaged for approx. 3 minutes start-
ing from the time when the engine
coolant exceeds 50°C (petrol versions)
or 35°C (Multijet versions).
When this function is active, the LED
of the corresponding button switches
on and that of the rear window
demister. The text FULL AUTOgoes
off on the display.
You can only adjust the fan speed and
switch the rear window demister off
manually when this function is active.
To restore operating conditions before
this function is activated, press but-
tonF, the air recirculation button C,
the compressor button Bor button
AUTO NorH. Fast window
demisting/
defrosting button F
Press this button: the
climate control system
will automatically switch on all the
functions required for fast windscreen
and front side window demisting/de-
frosting, that is:
❒switches on the climate control
compressor when weather condi-
tions are suitable;
❒disables air recirculation;
❒sets the maximum air temperature
HIin both areas;
❒sets proper fan speed according to
engine coolant temperature to
limit the flow of not sufficiently
warm air to demist the windows
into the passenger compartment;
❒directs the air flow to the wind-
screen and front side windows
vents;
❒engages the rear window mister.Disengagement of the compressor re-
mains stored even after the engine
stops.
To restore automatic compressor con-
trol, press button
√again (in this
case, the system will only work as a
heater) or press AUTO.
With climate control compressor off if
the outside temperature is higher than
the one set, the system will not be able
to keep the required condition, the
temperature value will then start
flashing on the display for a few sec-
onds and the message AUTOgoes off.
With climate control compressor off,
the fan speed can be set to zero man-
ually (no bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and the
engine started, the fan speed may be
reduced to the minimum setting only
(one bar shown).

STARTING
AND
DRIVING
❒turn on; wait for the warning light
Yand
mto turn off (the hot-
ter the engine the shorter the time
it takes to turn off);
❒press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accel-
erator;
❒turn the ignition key to AV Vas
soon as the warning light
mturns
off. Waiting too long will waste the
work done by the glow plugs. Re-
lease the key as soon as the engine
starts.
IMPORTANT When the engine is
cold, rotating the ignition key to AV V,
the accelerator pedal must be com-
pletely released.
If the engine does not start at the first
attempt, return the ignition key to
STOP before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is on MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
Yremains on, turn the key to STOP
and then back to MAR; if the warn-
ing light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
If you still cannot start the engine,
contact the Lancia Dealership.HOW TO WARM UP THE
ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST
STARTED (petrol and Multijet
engines)
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine
turn at medium speed. Do not ac-
celerate abruptly;
❒do not demand maximum perfor-
mance for the first few kilometres.
Wait until the engine coolant
gauge starts moving.Warning light
mwill
blink for 60 seconds after
starting or during pro-
longed cranking to indicate
a fault to the glow plug heating sys-
tem. Use the car normally if the en-
gine starts and contact the Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.
EMERGENCY START
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on steadily, you can perform
emergency start using the code on the
CODE card (see chapter “In an emer-
gency”).
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOPwhile the en-
gine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive,
you should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by let-
ting it idle to allow the temperature in
the engine compartment to fall.
Never jump start the engine
by pushing, towing or dri-
ving downhill. These ac-
tions could cause the fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
Revving up before stopping
the engine is useless, it
causes unnecessary fuel
consumption and can dam-
age the engine, in particular engines
equipped with turbocharger.
IMPORTANT With engine off, do not
leave the key in the ignition switch on
MAR.
