VOICE COMMAND (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
VOICE COMMAND SYSTEM
OPERATIONThis Voice Command sys-
tem allows you to control
your AM, FM radio, disc
player, and a memo
recorder.
NOTE: Take care to speak into
the Voice Interface System as
calmly and normally as possible.
The ability of the Voice Interface
System to recognize user voice
commands may be negatively af-
fected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system
should be used only in safe driving
conditions following all applicable
laws. All attention should be kept
on the roadway ahead. Failure to
do so may result in a collision caus-
ing serious injury or death.
When you press the Voice Command
button, you will hear a beep. The
beep is your signal to give a com-
mand.
NOTE: If you do not say a com-
mand within a few seconds, the
system will present you with a list
of options.
If you ever wish to interrupt the sys-
tem while it lists options, press the
Voice Command
button, listen
for the beep, and say your command.
Pressing the Voice Command
button while the system is
speaking is known as “barging in.”
The system will be interrupted, and
after the beep, you can add or change
commands. This will become helpful
once you start to learn the options. NOTE: At any time, you can say
the words “Cancel”, “Help” or
“Main Menu”.
These commands are universal and
can be used from any menu. All other
commands can be used depending
upon the active application.
When using this system, you should
speak clearly and at a normal speak-
ing volume.
The system will best recognize your
speech if the windows are closed, and
the heater/air conditioning fan is set
to low.
At any point, if the system does not
recognize one of your commands, you
will be prompted to repeat it.
To hear the first available Menu, press
the Voice Command
button and
say “Help” or “Main Menu”.
COMMANDS
The Voice Command system under-
stands two types of commands. Uni-
versal commands are available at all
times. Local commands are available
if the supported radio mode is active.

7. Do not store the disc where tem-
peratures may become too high.
NOTE: If you experience diffi-
culty in playing a particular disc, it
may be damaged (i.e., scratched,
reflective coating removed, a hair,
moisture or dew on the disc) over-
sized, or have protection encoding.
Try a known good disc before con-
sidering disc player service.
RADIO OPERATION AND
MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile
phone being on in your vehicle can
cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may
be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This
condition is not harmful to the radio.
If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the reposi-
tioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows
you to regulate the temperature,
amount, and direction of air circulat-
ing throughout the vehicle. The con-
trols are located on the instrument
panel, below the radio.
AUTOMATIC
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(ATC)
Front Three-Zone ATC allows both
driver and front passenger seat oc-
cupant, and rear seat occupants to
select individual comfort settings.
When occupants in the vehicle se- lect the AUTO mode operation, a
comfort temperature can be set by
using the temperature up and down
buttons, and the auto blower op-
eration will be set automatically.
The system can be controlled manually, if desired.
SYNC feature links the controls for all three zones, allowing one com-
fort setting (driver setting) for the
cabin, if desired. The Three-Zone ATC system auto-
matically maintains the interior com-
fort level desired by the driver and all
passengers. The system automatically
adjusts the air temperature, the air-
flow volume, amount of outside air
recirculation and the airflow direc-
tion. This maintains a comfortable
temperature, even under changing
conditions.
1. Air Conditioning (A/C) Button
Press and release to change the cur-
rent Air Conditioning (A/C) setting,
the indicator illuminates when A/C is
ON. Performing this function will
cause the ATC to switch into manual
mode.
215
operate at a fixed speed until addi-
tional speeds are selected. This allows
the front occupants to control the vol-
ume of air circulated in the vehicle
and cancel the Auto mode.
The operator can also select the direc-
tion of the airflow by selecting one of
the following positions.
Panel ModeAir is directed through the out-
lets in the instrument panel.
These outlets can be adjusted for di-
rection, and turned on or off to control
airflow.
NOTE: For maximum airflow to
the rear, the center instrument
panel outlets can be directed to-
ward the rear seat passengers.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument
panel outlets, floor outlets and
defrost outlets. A slight amount of air
is also directed through the side win-
dow demister outlets. NOTE: In many temperature po-
sitions, the BI-LEVEL mode is de-
signed to provide cooler air out of
the panel outlets and warmer air
from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor out-
lets. A slight amount of air is
directed through the defrost and side
window demister outlets.
Mix Mode
Air comes from the floor, de-
frost and side window demist
outlets. This mode works best in cold
or snowy conditions. It allows you to
stay comfortable, while keeping the
windshield clear.
Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield
and side window demist out-
lets. Use DEFROST mode with maxi-
mum blower and temperature settings
for best windshield and side window
defrosting. NOTE: While operating in the
other modes, the system will not
automatically sense the presence
of fog, mist or ice on the wind-
shield. DEFROST mode must be
manually selected to clear the
windshield and side glass.
Air Conditioning (A/C)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button
allows the operator to manually acti-
vate or deactivate the air conditioning
system. When in A/C mode and the
ATC is set to a cool temperature, de-
humidified air flows through the air
outlets. If Economy mode is desired,
press the A/C button to turn off the
A/C mode in the ATC display and
deactivate the A/C system.
NOTE:
If the system is in Mix, Floor or
Defrost Mode, the A/C can be
turned off, but the A/C system
shall remain active to prevent
fogging of the windows.
219
Floor ModeAir comes from the floor out-
lets.
SUMMER OPERATION
The engine cooling system in air con-
ditioned vehicles must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant
to provide proper corrosion protection
and to protect against engine over-
heating. A solution of 50% ethylene
glycol antifreeze coolant and 50%
water is recommended. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for proper cool-
ant selection.
WINTER OPERATION
To ensure the best possible heater and
defroster performance, make sure the
engine cooling system is functioning
properly and the proper amount,
type, and concentration of coolant is
used. Refer to “Maintenance Proce-
dures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”
for proper coolant selection. Use of
the air Recirculation mode during
Winter months is not recommended,
because it may cause window fogging. VACATION/STORAGE
Before you store your vehicle, or keep
it out of service (i.e., vacation) for two
weeks or more, run the air condition-
ing system at idle for about five min-
utes, in fresh air with the blower set-
ting on high. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to mini-
mize the possibility of compressor
damage when the system is started
again.
WINDOW FOGGING
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the
inside in mild, rainy and/or humid
weather. To clear the windows, select
Defrost or Mix mode and increase the
front blower speed. Do not use the
Recirculation mode without A/C for
long periods, as fogging may occur.
OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE
Make sure the air intake, located di-
rectly in front of the windshield, is
free of obstructions such as leaves.
Leaves collected in the air intake may
reduce airflow, and if they enter the
plenum they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months make sure
the air intake is clear of ice, slush and
snow.
OPERATING TIPS
A/C AIR FILTER
On vehicles equipped with Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC), the cli-
mate control system filters out dust
and pollen from the air. Refer to “Air
Conditioning” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for filter replacement
instructions.222

Before setting out on a trip, practice
turning, stopping and backing the
trailer in an area away from heavy
traffic.
Automatic Transmission
The DRIVE gear can be selected when
towing. However, if frequent shifting
occurs while in DRIVE, use the Elec-
tronic Range Select (ERS) shift con-
trol to select a lower gear range.
NOTE: Using a lower gear range
while operating the vehicle under
heavy loading conditions will im-
prove performance and extend
transmission life by reducing ex-
cessive shifting and heat build up.
This action will also provide better
engine braking.
If you REGULARLY tow a trailer for
more than 45 minutes of continuous
operation, then change the transmis-
sion fluid and filter as specified for
"police, taxi, fleet, or frequent trailer
towing." Refer to the “Maintenance
Schedule” for the proper maintenance
intervals. Electronic Speed Control (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Do not use in hilly terrain or with
heavy loads.
When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater
than 16 km/h, disengage until you
can get back to cruising speed.
Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel
efficiency.
Cooling System
To reduce potential for engine and
transmission overheating, take the
following actions:
City Driving
When stopped for short periods, shift
the transmission into NEUTRAL and
increase engine idle speed.
Highway Driving
Reduce speed.
Air Conditioning
Turn off temporarily.

WARNING!(Continued)
Battery posts, terminals, and re- lated accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wash hands af-
ter handling.CAUTION!
It is essential when replacing thecables on the battery that the
positive cable is attached to the
positive post and the negative
cable is attached to the negative
post. Battery posts are marked
positive (+) and negative (-) and
are identified on the battery case.
Cable clamps should be tight on
the terminal posts and free of cor-
rosion.
If a “fast charger” is used while
the battery is in the vehicle, dis-
connect both vehicle battery
cables before connecting the
charger to the battery. Do not use
a “fast charger” to provide start-
ing voltage. AIR CONDITIONER
MAINTENANCE
For best possible performance, your
air conditioner should be checked and
serviced by an authorized dealer at
the start of each warm season. This
service should include cleaning of the
condenser fins and a system perfor-
mance check. Drive belt tension
should also be checked at this time.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
air conditioning system as the
chemicals can damage your air
conditioning components. Such
damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
WARNING!
Use only refrigerants and com-
pressor lubricants approved by
the manufacturer for your air
conditioning system. Some unap-
proved refrigerants are flam-
mable and can explode, injuring
you. Other unapproved refriger-
ants or lubricants can cause the
system to fail, requiring costly re-
pairs.
The air conditioning system con- tains refrigerant under high pres-
sure. To avoid risk of personal
injury or damage to the system,
adding refrigerant or any repair
requiring lines to be disconnected
should be done by an experienced
repairman.

Refrigerant Recovery And
Recycling
R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant
is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) that is
endorsed by the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency and is an ozone-saving
product. However, the manufacturer
recommends that air conditioning
service be performed by authorized
dealer or other service facilities using
recovery and recycling equipment.
NOTE: Use only manufacturer
approved A/C system sealers, stop
leak products, seal conditioners,
compressor oil, and refrigerants.
A/C Air FilterCAUTION!
Car maintenance should be done at
a LANCIA Dealership. For routine
and minor maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, we
do recommend you have the proper
equipment, genuine LANCIA spare
parts and the necessary fluids; do
not however carry out these opera-
tions if you have no experience.Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
Do not remove the A/C air filter
while the blower is operating or
personal injury may result.
The A/C air filter is located in the
fresh air inlet behind the glove box.
Perform the following procedure to
replace the filter:
1. Open the glove compartment and
remove all contents.
2. Push in on the sides of the glove
compartment and lower the door.
3. Pivot the glove compartment
downward.
4. Disengage the two retaining tabs
that secure the filter cover to the
HVAC housing, and remove the cover. 5. Remove the A/C air filter by pull-
ing it straight out of the housing.
6. Install the A/C air filter with the
arrow on the filter pointing toward
the floor. When installing the filter
cover, make sure the retaining tabs
fully engage the cover.
CAUTION!
The A/C air filter is identified with
an arrow to indicate airflow direc-
tion through the filter. Failure to
properly install the filter will result
in the need to replace it more often.
7. Rotate the glove compartment
door back into position.

Coolant Level
The coolant bottle provides a quick
visual method for determining that
the coolant level is adequate. With the
engine cold, the level of the engine
coolant (antifreeze) in the coolant re-
covery bottle should be between the
ranges indicated on the bottle.
The radiator normally remains com-
pletely full, so there is no need to
remove the radiator cap unless check-
ing for engine coolant (antifreeze)
freeze point or replacing the engine
coolant (antifreeze). Advise your ser-
vice attendant of this. As long as the
engine operating temperature is satis-
factory, the coolant bottle only needs
to be checked once a month.
When additional engine coolant (an-
tifreeze) is needed to maintain the
proper level, it should be added to the
coolant bottle. Do not overfill.Points To Remember
NOTE: When the vehicle is
stopped after a few kilometers of
operation, you may observe vapor
coming from the front of the engine
compartment. This is normally a
result of moisture from rain, snow,
or high humidity accumulating on
the radiator and being vaporized
when the thermostat opens, allow-
ing hot engine coolant (antifreeze)
to enter the radiator.
If an examination of your engine com-
partment shows no evidence of radia-
tor or hose leaks, the vehicle may be
safely driven. The vapor will soon dis-
sipate.
Do not overfill the coolant recovery
bottle.
Check the engine coolant (anti- freeze) freeze point in the radiator
and in the coolant recovery bottle.
If engine coolant (antifreeze) needs
to be added, contents of the coolant
recovery bottle must also be pro-
tected against freezing. If frequent engine coolant (anti-
freeze) additions are required, or if
the level in the coolant recovery
bottle does not drop when the en-
gine cools, the cooling system
should be pressure tested for leaks.
Maintain engine coolant (anti- freeze) concentration at 50% en-
gine coolant (antifreeze) (mini-
mum) and distilled water for
proper corrosion protection of your
engine, which contains aluminum
components.
Make sure that the radiator and coolant recovery bottle overflow
hoses are not kinked or obstructed.
Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is equipped with air
conditioning, also keep the front of
the condenser clean.
Do not change the thermostat for Summer or Winter operation. If re-
placement is ever necessary, install
ONLY the correct type thermostat.
Other designs may result in unsat-
isfactory coolant performance,
poor gas mileage, and increased
emissions.
