IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions more quickly depending on the mode
selected. It is not advisable to switch the air
recirculation on when it is rainy/cold to prevent
the windows from misting, especially if the climate
control system has not been activated. It is
advisable to switch the internal air recirculation
on whilst queuing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air. Do not use the
function for a long time, particularly if there are
several passengers on board, to prevent the
windows from misting.

the other manual settings will be cancelled.
AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION
Press one or more of buttons A to manually select
one of the possible air distribution settings for
the passenger compartment:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side
window diffusers to demist/defrost them.Air flow to the footwell diffusers. This air
distribution allows the passenger
compartment to be warmed up quickly.Air flow distribution to centre/side dashboard
diffusers (passenger's body).+
Air flow distributed between footwell
diffusers and windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting diffusers.
This distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed
effectively and prevents the windows
from misting.
+
Air flow distribution between footwell
diffusers (hotter air) and centre/side
dashboard diffusers (cooler air).
IMPORTANT For the climate control system to
function, at least one of the buttons A must be

When the Start&Stop function is active (engine off
at zero car speed), the climate control system will
request the reactivation of the engine if the inside
temperature conditions rapidly deteriorate (or if
the user requests maximum cooling – LO – or
quick demisting – MAX DEF).
With Start&Stop function active (engine off at
zero car speed), the air flow rate (if managed
automatically) is reduced in order to maintain the
passenger compartment comfort conditions for
as long as possible.
The climate control system control unit attempts
to manage the decreased comfort caused by
stopping the engine as far as possible (switching
off the compressor and engine coolant pump) but
the operation of the climate control system can
be favoured by deactivating the Start&Stop
function using the dedicated button on the
dashboard.
NOTEIn particularly severe climate conditions it
is recommended to limit the use of the Start&Stop
function to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with
consequent rapid misting of the windows and
accumulation of humidity with unpleasant smells
in the passenger compartment.
EXTERNAL LIGHTSThe left-hand stalk operates most of the external
lights.
The ignition key has to be in the MAR position for
the exterior lights to come on.
The instrument panel and the various dashboard
controls will come on with the external lights.
DAY LIGHTS (DRL)
"Daytime Running Lights"
(for versions/markets, where provided)

where provided) (the windscreen wipers
adapt the operating speed automatically to
suit the intensity of the rain)continuous slow operation.continuous fast operation.Move the stalk upwards (unstable position) to
limit operation to the time for which the stalk is
held in this position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the wiper will
be automatically stopped.
With the ring nut A fig. 35 in position
, the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt
operating speed to the speed of the car.
With the windscreen wipers operational, if reverse
gear is engaged, the rear window wiper is
automatically activated.
Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protection,
which prevents operation for a few seconds,
may intervene. If operation is not restored
(even after using the key to restart the engine),
contact a Lancia Dealership.Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the
windscreen.

Deactivation
If the engine is stopped with ring nut A in
"automatic" position (AUTO), no wiping cycle is
performed when it is next started even if rain is
present. This prevents accidental activation of the
rain sensor when the engine is started (e.g. when
the windscreen is being washed by hand or the
wipers are stuck to the windscreen by ice).
To restore automatic operation of the rain sensor,
turn ring nut A from "automatic" position
(AUTO) toOposition and then turn the ring nut
back to the AUTO position.
When the rain sensor is reactivated using any of
the manoeuvres described above, reactivation
is indicated by a single stroke of the windscreen
wipers, regardless of the condition of the
windscreen. If the sensitivity is changed whilst the
rain sensor is operating, a windscreen wiper stroke
is carried out to confirm the change.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor
whilst it is active, the windscreen wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of
whether there is rain on the glass (on some
versions sensor failure is indicated on the display).
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible
to set the windscreen wiper to continuous mode
(1
stor 2
nd
speed). The failure indication remains
for as long as the sensor is active.
The rain sensor is able to recognise, and
automatically adjust itself in the presence of the
following conditions:❒presence of dirt on the controlled surface (salt,
dirt, etc.);
❒presence of streaks of water caused by the worn
window wiper blades;
❒difference between day and night.
Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car
wash.Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
WARNING
Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.
