When the compressor is deactivated:
❒the system will deactivate air recirculation to
prevent the windows from misting up;
❒it is not possible to convey air to the passenger

outside temperature (the temperature indicated
on the display will flash when the system cannot
guarantee the required comfort conditions);
❒the fan speed can be manually reset (with

Button D
- Internal air recirculation
on/off
It is advisable to switch the internal air
recirculation on whilst queuing or in tunnels to
prevent the introduction of polluted air.
At low temperatures or if the compressor is off,
the recirculation is forced to off to prevent
misting.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air
recirculation when the outside temperature is low,
since the windows could mist rapidly.
Button E (AUTO) - AUTO function activation

When the AUTO button is pressed and the
required temperature is set, the system adjusts air
temperature, quantity and distribution into the
passenger compartment and manages the
activation of the compressor.

conditions are as follows:
❒all LEDs are off;
❒set temperature display is off;
❒air recirculation is off;
❒compressor is off;
❒fan is off.

DESCRIPTION
The automatically controlled parameters and
functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow)
❒compressor activation (for cooling/
dehumidifying the air)
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually. In other
words, you may select one or more functions
and change the parameters as required. Automatic
control of the manually changed functions will
be suspended: the system will only override your
settings for safety-related reasons (e.g. risk of
misting).
Manual selections always have higher priority over
automatic settings and are stored until the user
switches the system back to automatic control
expect for cases in which the system intervenes for
particular safety-related reasons. You can adjust
one function manually without affecting the
automatic control of the others.
The amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment is not affected by car speed; it is
regulated by the fan, which is controlled
electronically.The temperature of the air introduced is always
controlled automatically, according to the
temperature set in the display for the driver and
the front passenger (except when the system is off
or in certain conditions when the compressor is
deactivated).
The system allows the following to be set or
adjusted manually:
❒air temperature;
❒fan speed (continuous variation)
❒air distribution with 5 positions;
❒compressor activation
❒single zone/dual zone distribution priority
❒rapid defrosting/demisting function
❒air recirculation
❒heated rear window
❒system deactivation.

SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The system can be switched on in various ways; it
is however advisable to press the AUTO button
and set the desired temperature on the display.
The climate control system allows you to
customise the temperatures requested.
The climate control system compressor works only
with the engine running and with an outside
temperature of above 0°C.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
OPERATION
Press the AUTO button; the system will
automatically adjust:
❒the amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment;
❒the distribution of the air in the passenger
compartment;
cancelling all previous manual adjustments.
During climate control system automatic
operation, the word AUTO appears on the display.
During automatic operation it is still possible to
adjust the temperatures set and carry out the
following operations manually:
❒fan speed adjustment
❒air distribution selection
❒internal air recirculation on/off button;
❒climate control compressor activation.
WARNING
It is advisable not to use the internal
air recirculation function when the
outside temperature is low, because the
windows could mist rapidly.
ADJUSTING THE FAN SPEED
Press button
to increase/decrease the fan speed.
The possible speeds are indicated by bars lighting
up on the display:
❒maximum fan speed = all bars lit
❒minimum fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be disabled (no bars lit) only if the
climate control compressor has been switched off
by pressing button
.
To restore automatic fan speed control after a
manual adjustment, press the AUTO button.

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.
CLIMATE CONTROL COMPRESSOR
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
Press button
to switch on the climate control
compressor.
Compressor activation:
symbol appears on
display.
Compressor deactivation
❒
symbol on display disappears;
❒internal air recirculation excluded;
With the climate control compressor switched off,
air cannot be introduced into the passenger
compartment that has a lower temperature than
the outside air; in this case the
symbol in the
display will flash.
The deactivation of the climate control compressor
is memorised even after the engine has stopped.
To reactivate the climate control compressor, press
button
or AUTO again: if you press AUTO,
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
operated. The system does not allow the
deactivation of all the buttons A.

IMPORTANT Push the OFF button to turn the
climate control system back on: in this way, all
operating conditions memorised before switching
off are restored.
To restore automatic control of the air distribution
after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.

WARNING
Never exceed the maximum permitted
loads (see chapter "Technical
specifications").
WARNING
Evenly distribute the load and take
into account, when driving, the
increased effect of side wind on the car.Fully comply with the regulations in
force concerning maximum clearance.
HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct alignment of the headlights is
important for the comfort and safety of not only
the driver but all other road users. This is also
covered by a specific rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aimed to
guarantee the best visibility conditions for all
drivers while travelling with headlights on.
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the
headlights properly adjusted.
Check beam alignment every time the load or its
distribution changes.
IMPORTANT When the gas discharge (Xenon)
headlamps (for versions/markets, where provided)
are switched on, normally parabolas and light
beam move vertically for about 2 seconds until
headlamp alignment has stabilised.
