Selecting air distribution B-fig. 26
Press one or more of buttons
//˙to manually select
one of the 7 possible air distribution settings for the pas-
senger compartment:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window
vents to demist/defrost them.
Air flow to the front and rear footwell vents. This
air distribution allows the passenger compartment
to be warmed up quickly.
Air flow distribution between the
˙front and rear vents, centre/side dashboard vents,
rear vent and windscreen and front side window
demisting/defrosting vents.

Air flow distribution between the footwell vents
and the windscreen and front side window
demisting/defrosting vents. This distribution set-
ting allows the passenger compartment to be
heated well and prevents the windows from mist-
ing up.

Air flow distribution between footwell vents (hot-
ter air) and centre/side dashboard vents and rear
vent (cooler air).
˙Air flow distribution between centre/side dash-
board vents, rear vent and windscreen and front
side window demisting/defrosting vents. This dis-
tribution setting ventilates the passenger compart-
ment and prevents the windows from misting up.IMPORTANT For the climate control system to function,
at least one of the following buttons must be on:

KNOWING YOUR CAR137
❍Ultrasound source (e.g. pneumatic brakes of trucks or
air drills) nearby could negatively influence the sensor
performance.
❍Sensors may detect a non-existent obstacle (echo in-
terference) due to mechanical interference, for example
while washing the car, rain, strong wind, hail.
❍The sensors might not detect objects of a particular
shape or made from particular materials (very thin poles,
trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes, parking deterrents,
rubbish bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
to check that the vehicle and its path are effectively com-
patible with the parking area identified by the system.
❍The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a different
size to those present when the vehicle was purchased
could affect the operation of the system.
❍If the battery is disconnected or very run down, be-
fore the Magic Parking system is available it is necessary
to drive a few hundred metres, not in a straight line, to
initialise the system.
❍If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly inserted)
the Magic Parking system will automatically be disabled.
❍If the Magic Parking system is in “search in progress”
mode, the system could incorrectly identify a parking
space and carry out the manoeuvre (e.g. by a junction,
carriage track, roads crossing the direction of travel, etc.).❍In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a gra-
dient, the performance of the system could be inferior and
it may deactivate.
❍If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out between
two vehicles parked on the pavement, the Magic Park-
ing system may cause the vehicle to mount the pavement.
❍Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not be car-
ried out.
❍Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if there are
persons and/or animals in the parking area, moving ve-
hicles, etc.) and intervene immediately if necessary.
❍During parking manoeuvres, pay special attention to
vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Always
follow the Highway Code.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for reducing petrol fuel
engine emissions:
❍three-way catalytic converter;
❍oxygen sensors;
❍fuel evaporation control system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with
one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions:
❍oxidizing catalytic converter;
❍exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.)
❍diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/markets
where provided).DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, inte-
gral with the exhaust system, that physically traps par-
ticulates present in the exhaust gases of diesel engines. The
diesel particulate filter has been adopted to eliminate al-
most all particulates in compliance with current/future le-
gal regulations. During normal use of the vehicle, the en-
gine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time,
type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate
how much particulate has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning car-
bon particles. The regeneration procedure is controlled
automatically by the engine management control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and vehicle use conditions.
There may be a limited increase in the engine idle speed
during the regeneration, a limited increase in fumes and
high temperatures at the exhaust. These are not faults;
they do not impair vehicle performance or damage the en-
vironment. If the dedicated message is displayed, refer
to the “Panel warning lights” paragraph in this chapter.
The catalytic converter develops high tem-
perature during operation. Do not park the
car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.

STARTING AND DRIVING177
FUEL SAVINGS
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimise harm-
ful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (nitric oxides,
unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc…).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval
of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, con-
sumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of the
car (especially when driving in town) and its ride greatly
affects consumption and stability.Accessories installed on longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski racks, luggage
container, etc. from the roof if they are no longer used.
These accessories lower air penetration and adversely af-
fect consumption levels. When transporting particularly
large objects, use a trailer if possible.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed.
The heated rear window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount
of energy, therefore a higher requirement of current in-
volves an increase of fuel consumption (up to +25%
in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel consumption (on av-
erage up to +20%). If the temperature outside permits,
try and use the air vents.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may ad-
versely affect air drag and fuel consumption levels.

224SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life
for the car under the best conditions.
Lancia has prepared a series of checks and service oper-
ations to be carried out every 30,000 kilometres (for
petrol versions) or every 35,000 kilometres (for diesel
versions).
It is, however, important to remember that scheduled ser-
vicing does not completely cover all the car’s requirements:
even in the initial period before 30,000/35,000 km, and
then subsequently between one service and another, or-
dinary care is always required such as routine checks in-
volving topping up fluid levels, checking tyre pressures
etc...
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing Coupons are required
by the manufacturer. Failure to carry them out may in-
validate the warranty.Scheduled Services are offered by all Lancia Dealerships
according to a set time schedule.
If during each operation, in addition to the ones sched-
uled operations, the need arises for further replacements
or repairs, these may only be carried out with the express
agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact a Lancia Deal-
ership in the event of any minor operating faults, with-
out waiting for the next service coupon.
If the car is used frequently for towing a trailer, the in-
terval between services should be reduced.

230SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Perform the following inspections more frequently than
indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❍check front disc brake pad condition and wear;
❍check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks, as well as
cleanliness and lubrication of linkages;
❍visually inspect the condition of engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust – fuel supply
– brakes) rubber elements (boots – sleeves – bushes
etc.);❍check battery charge and fluid level (electrolyte); (see
“Battery” in this chapter);
❍visually inspect the condition of auxiliary drive belts;
❍check and, if necessary, replace the pollen filter; in
particular it should be replaced if a decrease in the air
flow into the passenger compartment is detected;
❍check air filter and replace, if required.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
❍atmospheric pollution;
❍salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid
climates);
❍seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and
sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars is
also not to be underestimated.
On your car, Lancia has implemented the best manufac-
turing technologies to effectively protect the bodywork
against corrosion.These include:
❍paint products and systems which give the car a spe-
cial resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❍use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets with
high resistance to corrosion;
❍spraying the underbody, engine compartment, wheel
arch internal parts and other elements with highly
protective wax-based products;
❍spraying protective plastic materials in the most ex-
posed areas: underdoor, inner wing parts, edges, etc.;
❍using “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation
and pockets of moisture from causing rust inside.
BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation due
to rust of any original element of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the War-
ranty Booklet.
