The air let into the passenger com-
partment cannot be cooled when the
compressor is off. Consequently:
– if the outside temperature is
lower than the set temperature, the
system works normally and can
reach and maintain the set tempera-
ture also when the compressor is off;
– if the outside temperature is
higher than the set temperature, the
system cannot reach the required
temperature. This will be signalled
by flashing the external temperature
value on the display.
When the compressor is off, it is
possible to reset manually the fan
speed; on the contrary, when the
compressor is on and the engine is
running, manual ventilation cannot
be lower than the bar indicated on
the display. Button for fast windscreen
demisting/defrosting (15 fig. 121)
Press this button: the climate con-
trol system will automatically switch
on all the functions required for fast
windscreen and side window demist-
ing/defrosting, that is:
– climate control system compres-
sor on;
– air recirculation off (if on);
– maximum air temperature (HI)
on both displays;
– fan speed according to engine
coolant temperature in order to limit
letting cold air into the passenger
compartment for demisting the win-
dows;
– air flow directed to the wind-
screen and front side window vents;
– heated rear window, external
rearview mirror and windscreen noz-
zle resistances on.The fast windscreen demisting/
defrosting function stays on for
approx. 3 minutes after the engine
coolant temperature exceeds 50 °C
(petrol versions) or 35 °C (diesel
versions).
When the fast demisting/defrosting
function is on, the led on the related
button and that on the heated rear
window button are lighted, while
both leds on the air recirculation
button and that on button √turn
off. Message FULL AUTOon the
display will turn off.
Only the fan speed can be adjusted
and the heated rear window can be
switched off when the fast demist-
ing/defrosting function is on.
Press the fast demisting/defrosting
button again or air recirculation
button or compressor off button to
switch the fast demisting/defrosting
function off and reset the previous
system operation conditions as well
as the last set function.

- the led comes on for about 2 sec-
onds = the signal has been received
correctly and the heater has been de-
activated
- the led flashes for about 2 seconds
= the signal has not been received.
In the latter case you are advised to
move before trying to deactivate it by
pressing again the OFFbutton.Checking and replacing the
batteries
To check the battery charge, press
ONorOFF: if after about 5 seconds
ledBcomes on with orange colour it
means that the batteries are nearly
down and that they shall be replaced.
The batteries must be replaced with
new ones of the same type, available
at the usual sellers.
Replacing the batteries
Keep the ONandOFFbuttons
pressed for about 10 seconds, until led
Bturns off, to reset the 30 minutes
standard operation length.
Switching the heater off
To turn the heater off, press the re-
mote control button OFFfor 1 or 2
seconds, while keeping the antenna in
vertical position; the positive or un-
successful deactivation is indicate by
the remote control red led Bin the fol-
lowing way:Used batteries pollute the
environment. Dispose of
them in the special con-
tainers as specified by current leg-
islation. Keep batteries away from
open flames and high tempera-
tures. Keep away from children.

If, after an accident, you
can smell petrol or see
that the fuel feed system is
leaking, do not reset the switches
to avoid the risk of fire.Mechanical connections
of outside handles are
active only if the doors
are locked. In case the driver has
activated the central door locking
from the inside and, after an
accident, the inertial switch was
not able to activate the automatic
door unlocking as a result of bat-
tery loss or damage, it will not be
possible to reach the passenger
compartment from the outside.Anyway, door opening
from the outside depends
on their conditions after
the accident: if a door is distorted
it might be impossible to open it
even if it is unlocked. In this case
try to open the other car doors.
Before resetting the fuel
cut-off switch, carefully
check for any fuel leaks or
damages to the car electric devices
(e.g.: headlights).

If, after an accident, you cannot see
any fuel leaks or damages to the car
electric devices (e.g.: headlights) and
the car is in a fit state to continue its
journey, reset the fuel cut-off switch
and the circuit breaker according to
the following instructions.
Door unlocking in case of
accident
In case of accident with activation of
the inertial switch as a consequence,
door locks are automatically unlocked
to let rescuers reach the passenger
compartment from the outside.Resetting the fuel cut-off switch

Resetting the circuit breaker
Before resetting the cir-
cuit breaker, carefully
check for any fuel leaks or
damages to the car electric devices
(e.g.: headlights).Circuit breaker is located on the left
side of the boot, inside a box directly
set and connected to the battery pos-
itive terminal.
To reach the circuit breaker:
1) Open the tailgate.
2) Loosen knob A(fig. 130) and re-
move the battery cover B.
3) Press tabs A(fig. 131) and re-
move cover B.
4) Press button A(fig. 132) to reset
the circuit breaker.Initialising the control units of
the door locks, air conditioner
and ESP system
After resetting the circuit breaker, to
restore correct door locking, air con-
ditioning and ESP system, perform
the following operations:
1) Close the doors and the tailgate,
fit the key into the lock of one of the
front doors and perform a door cen-
tralised opening/closing cycle.
2) Start the engine and turn on the
compressor of the conditioner, setting
a lower temperature value than that
of the environment and check
whether the led on the disconnection
push button of the conditioner com-
pressoròis lit.
3) Turn the steering wheel one
fourth turn at least (the car can be at
standstill but the engine shall be run-
ning) and start running the car for a
few metres in a straight line until the
ESP warning light
áis off.

Even in fault conditions it is possi-
ble to move the lever to R,NandD.
If the lever is in position D,the con-
trol unit of the automatic gearbox
will select only certain gears, accord-
ing to the type of failure detected.
In case of failure of the
automatic gearbox, take
the car immediately to a
Lancia Dealership to have the
failure eliminated.FAILURE INDICATION
Automatic gearbox faults are indi-
cated by multifunction display
warning light tcoming on with
the following messages:
– AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
OIL TEMP. HIGH
– AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FAULT.
Automatic transmission oil tem-
perature high
This message is displayed when the
gearbox oil has reached the maxi-
mum preset temperature. In this
case the electronic control unit has
an emergency programme.
Anyway, it is suggested to stop the
car, to set the lever to PorNand to
keep the engine running idle until
the message displayed disappears.
Then start driving again without
taxing the engine.If the message is displayed again,
re-stop the car and let the engine
run idle until the message disap-
pears.
If the interval between the first and
second message appearance is lower
than 15 minutes, stop the car, stop
the engine and wait until the engine-
gearbox unit is completely cold.
Automatic transmission fault
If this message is displayed during
driving, it means that there is a fail-
ure in the automatic gearbox. In this
case the electronic control unit has
an emergency programme.
In such conditions, stop the car and
stop the engine for at least 1 minute.
When the engine is restarted, the
self-diagnosis system could exclude
that failure, that however will be
stored by the electronic control unit.

Turn ring Bto position (+) to set
the speed reached or to increase the
stored speed.
Turn ring Bto position (–) to
decrease the stored speed.
The speed will be increased or
decreased by approximately 1 km/h
each time ring Bis operated. Hold
the ring turned to set the speed con-
tinuously. The new set speed will be
automatically kept.
ButtonC(RCL) allows to reset the
stored speed.
IMPORTANTTurn the ignition
key to STOPor switch AtoOFFto
delete the stored speed and switch
the system off.Storing the speed
Move switch AtoONand take the
car to the required speed normally.
Turn ring Bto (+) for at least three
seconds and release it. The car speed
will be stored and you can now
release your foot from the accelera-
tor.
The car will continue at the con-
stant speed until one of the following
events occur:
– the brake pedal is pressed
– the clutch pedal is pressed
– the automatic gear lever is unin-
tentionally shifted to N.
IMPORTANTIf required (e.g. for
overtaking) you can accelerate sim-
ply by pressing the accelerator. The
car will return to the previously set
speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.Resetting the stored speed
To reset the stored speed after
switching the device off, e.g. by
pressing the brake or the clutch ped-
als:
– accelerate progressively to reach
a speed which is close to the previ-
ously set speed
– engage the gear which was
engaged when the speed was set (4
th,
5thor 6th gear)
– press button C(RCL).
Increasing the stored speed
The stored speed can be increased
in two ways:
– by pressing the accelerator pedal
and storing the new speed (turning
ringBfor longer than three seconds)

RingAhas four positions:
OFF: system off
x: greatest distance from the vehi-
cle ahead
x: intermediate distance from the
vehicle ahead
x: shortest distance from the vehi-
cle ahead.
The distance between the two vehi-
cles is gradually increased as the
speed is increased, set levels being
equal.
IMPORTANTTurn the ignition
key to STOPor ring AtoOFF, to
delete the stored speed and switch
the system off. To restore system
operation, turn the ring AtoOFF
and repeat the setting operations.When the system is on, that is, ring
Ais in any position other than OFF,
symbolúlights up on the multi-
function display, together with mes-
sage “RADAR CRUISE CONTROL
ON”. The warning light will remain
on until the system is switched off by
turning ring AtoOFF.
RingBis used to store the car
speed and keep it constant, or to
increase or decrease the stored
speed.
Turn ring Bto (+) to store the
speed reached or increase the stored
speed.
Turn ring Bto (–) to decrease the
stored speed. Slowing down can also
be obtained, when required, by
braking system automatic operation.
Every time ring Bis turned, the
speed is increased or decreased by
about 1 km/h. By keeping the ring
rotated, the stored speed will change
continuously at intervals of 10
km/h. The new speed reached will
be maintained automatically.
When ring Bis turned, the car’s
actual speed is considered as refer-
ence speed (cruise speed). This
speed can automatically decrease
depending on traffic conditions, and
the system can shift from the speed
control condition to the distance
control condition. The driver is
informed of the system’s operating
condition by the instrument panel
display.
ButtonC(RCL) allows to reset the
stored speed. In fact, when driving
the car with the system on, the dri-
ver can switch the system off by sim-
ply braking. In this case, the cruise
speed previously set is kept in the
memory and can be enabled again at
any time by pressing button RCL.

200
Storing the speed
Move ring Ato any position other
thanOFFand take the car to the
required speed.
Turn ring Bto (+), then release it.
The car speed will be stored and
shown on the instrument panel dis-
play; now, the accelerator pedal can
be released.
The car will continue at the con-
stant speed until one of the following
events occur:
– the brake pedal is pressed
– presence of a vehicle running
ahead more slowly along the run-
ning path, in the same running
direction.
IMPORTANTIf required (e.g. for
overtaking) you can accelerate sim-
ply by pressing the accelerator. The
car will return to the previously set
speed when the accelerator pedal is
released. If 160 km/h speed is
exceeded, restore the stored speed by
pressingC(RCL).Resetting the stored speed
If the system has been switched off
by pressing the brake pedal, the
stored speed can be resumed by
pressing button C(RCL).
Increasing the stored speed
The stored speed can be increased
in two ways:
– by pressing the accelerator and
storing the new speed (turning ring
Bto (+)
or
– by temporarily turning ring Bto
(+): each turn of the ring will corre-
spond to a 10 km/h speed increase,
while a continuous pressure will cor-
respond to a continuous speed
increase at intervals of 10 km/h.
Release ring B: the new speed will
automatically be stored.
The new set speed will be shown on
the display in place of the previous
one.Reducing the stored speed
The stored speed can be decreased
in two ways:
– by switching the device off (e.g.
by pressing the brake pedal) and
then storing the new speed (turning
ringBto (+)
or
– by turning ring Bto (-) until the
new speed is reached. The new speed
will automatically be stored.
The new set speed will be shown on
the display in place of the previous
one.
