During completely automatic system
operation, you can vary the set tem-
perature, the air distribution and the
fan speed using the corresponding
buttons or knobs at any time: the sys-
tem will automatically change settings
to adapt to the new request.
During fully automatic operation
(FULL AUTO), the wordFULLwill
diasspear if the air distribution, air
speed, compressor and/or recircula-
tion settings are changed. In this way,
the functions will switch from auto-
matic to manual control until AUTO
is pressed again. The fan speed is the
same in all the zones of the passenger
compartment.
With on or more manually set func-
tions, the introduced air temperature
is still managed automatically by the
system, except for when the compres-
sor is off: in the case, the air intro-
duced into the passenger compart-
ment cannot be cooler than the out-
side air. During fully automatic operation, the
only functions that are enabled man-
ually are:
❒MONOto uniform the tempera-
ture and the air distribution on
front passenger or rear passenger
zones to the driver’s zone;
❒
…air recirculation, to keep it
always on or off;
❒
-to speed up demisting/defro-
sting of windscreen, side windows,
rear window and door mirrors;
❒
(to demist/defrost the heated
rear window and the external
rearview mirrors. USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to press one
of the AUTObuttons and then to turn
the knobs to set the temperatures re-
quired on the display.
The system manages two passenger
compartment zones: the driver and
passenger can therefore select different
temperatures. The maximum differ-
ence between the two zones is 7°C.
The system will start running auto-
matically in this way and the set com-
fortable temperature will be reached
as quickly as possible. The system ad-
justs the temperature, amount and
distribution of air delivered to the
passenger compartment. In addition,
it manages the recirculation function
to engage the climate control system
compressor.

This function may be used to heat up
the passenger compartment as fast as
possible and exploit the system po-
tential to the maximum. The function
uses the maximum coolant tempera-
ture while air and fan speed distribu-
tion are managed by the system ac-
cording to conditions.
Specifically, if the heating fluid is not
warm enough, the fan will not start
up at the maximum speed immedi-
ately to limit introducing excessively
cool air into the passenger compart-
ment.
All manual settings will be allowed
when this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob anticlockwise
and set the required temperature.

knob anticlockwise under the mini-
mum value (16 °C). It can be oper-
ated from either by the driver or by
the front passenger (by selecting the

temperature in the passenger com-
partment when the driver only is in
the car.

IMPORTANT The air recirculation
function makes it possible to reach the
required heating or cooling conditions
faster. It is however inadvisable to use
it on rainy/cold days as it would con-
siderably increase the possibility of
the windows misting inside, especially
if the climate control compressor is
off.

introduced from the outside) when
the the outside temperature is colder

LED will light up on the button in
this case.
The system will switch recirculation
off when the compressor is switched
off to prevent misting up. Although
the system is capable of maintaining
the required temperature, the word
FULLwill disappear from the display.
If on the other hand the system can-
not maintain the required tempera-
ture, the digits will blink and the word
AUTOwill disappear.
IMPORTANT With the compressor
off, it is not possible to introduced air
cooler than ambient temperature into
the passenger compartment. Further-
more, in certain conditions, the win-
dows could mist up rapidly because
the air is not dehumidified.
It is advisable not to use
the air recirculation func-
tion when the outside temperature
is low to prevent the windows from
rapidly misting up.

TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
Turn ring A-fig. 73toOFFor the ig-
nition key to STOP. The device is au-
tomatically turned off in one of the
following cases:
❒when the brake pedal or clutch is
pressed. REDUCING THE STORED
SPEED
This can be carried out in two ways:
❒by turning the device off and then
storing a new speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards
(
–) until reaching the new speed
which will be stored automatically.
Each operation of the stalk will cor-
respond to a slight reduction in speed
(about 1 km/h), while keeping the
stalk downwards will correspond to a
continuous speed reduction. RESTORING THE STORED
SPEED
If the device has been disengaged, for
example by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal, the memorized speed
can be reset as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching
a speed approaching the stored
speed;
❒engage the gear selected when the
speed was stored (4th or 5th gear);
❒press RES B.
INCREASING THE STORED
SPEED
The stored speed can be increased
in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and
then storing the new speed
reached;
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (
+).
Each operation of the stalk will cor-
respond to a slight increase in speed
(about 1 km/h), while keeping the
stalk upwards will correspond to a
continuous speed increase.
When travelling with the
device on, never set the
gearshift lever to neutral.
WARNING
If the device is faulty, turn
ring A to OFF, check the
fuse and contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship.
