ing pets on board) by pressing button A-fig. 14, located
on the front courtesy light, before activating the alarm.
When the function is disabled, this is indicated by the LED

of the volume sensing/anti-tilt protection must be repeat-
ed each time the instrument panel is switched off.
BREAK IN ATTEMPT INDICATION
Any break in attempt is indicated by the
Ywarning light
(or symbol in the display) lighting up, together with a mes-
sage shown on the display (see “Instrument panel warn-
ing lights”).DISABLING THE ALARM

period of idleness), simply lock the vehicle by turning the
metal insert of the key with remote control in the lock.
IMPORTANT If the battery of the key with the remote
control goes flat or the system fails, the alarm can be
switched off by placing the key in the ignition switch and
turning it to MAR.

IMPORTANT It is advisable to activate air recirculation
in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. Do not use the function for a long time, partic-
ularly if there are many passengers on board, to prevent
the windows from misting up.

as described above and press knob B to switch the climate
control system on: the LED on the knob will light up.
LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
Run the climate control system for at least 10 minutes
every month during the winter. Have the system inspect-
ed at a Lancia Dealership before the summer.

The system can be switched on by pressing any button;
it is, however, advisable to set the required temperature
on the display and then press the AUTO button.
The climate control system allows you to customise the
temperature (driver-side and passenger-side) with a max-
imum difference of 7°C.
The climate control system compressor only works with
the engine running and with an outdoor temperature of
above 4°C.Automatic climate control operation (AUTO
function) A-fig. 26
Press AUTO; the system will automatically adjust:
❍the amount of air introduced into the passenger com-
partment;
❍the distribution of air inside the passenger compart-
ment;
cancelling any previous manual settings.
During climate control system automatic operation the
words FULL AUTO appear on the display.
During automatic operation it is still possible to adjust the
set temperature and carry out the following operations
manually:
❍adjust fan speed;
❍select air distribution;
❍switch air recirculation and AQS function on/off;
❍switch on the climate control system compressor.
It is advisable not to use the air recircula-
tion function when the outside temperature
is low to prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.
