Internal air recirculation i s carried out according to three
possible operating mode s:
❍ automatic control, s ignalled by the AQS s ign on the
dis play and the LED on button
Tbeing off;
❍ permanently off (air recirculation alwa ys off with in-
troduction of external air), indicated by the LED on
button
Tbeing off;
❍ permanentl y on (air recirculation alwa ys on), signalled
b y the LED on button
Tbeing lit up.
When OFF is pressed, the climate control system auto-
matically activates internal air recirculation (LED on but-
ton
Ton). It is s till possible to activate outs ide air re-
circulation (LED on the button off) and vice ver sa, by
pressing button
T.
With the OFF button pre ssed (LED on the button is lit
up), it is not possible to enable the AQ S (Air Qualit y Sys-
tem) function. IMPORTANT The internal air recirculation system makes
it possible to reach the required heating or cooling con-
ditions
faster depending on the mode s elected. It is not ad-
vis able to s witch the air recirculation on when it i s
rainy /cold to prevent the window s from mis ting up, es -
pecially if the climate control is not turned on. It is ad-
vis able to s witch the internal air recirculation on whil st
queuing or in tunnel s to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. Do not u se the function for a long time, partic-
ularly if there are several passengers on board, to pre-
vent the window s from mis ting up.
Enabling the AQS (Air Qualit y System) function
(for vers ions/markets , where provided)
The AQS function (AQS appears on the dis play), auto-
matically activates internal air r

ecirculation when the out-
s ide air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queue s and tunnels ).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after 15 con-
s ecutive minute s of the internal air recirculation system
functioning, the climate control system enables the intake
of outs ide air for approximatel y 1 minute to fres hen the
air in the passenger compartment. Thi s takes place re-
gardless of the pollution level of the out side air.

Anti-crush safety device
The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch safety device
for the rais ing of the front window s.
This s afety system detect s the pres ence of an obs tacle dur-
ing the window clo sing travel and cut s in by s topping and
rever sing the window travel, depending on it s pos ition.
This device is also us eful if the windows are activated ac-
cidentally by children on board the vehicle.
The anti-pinch function i s active both during manual and
automatic operation of the electric window s. Following
the intervention of the anti-pinch system, the window trav-
el is immediately interrupted and s ubsequently reversed
until the lower end of travel is reached. The window can-
not be operated in an y way during thi s time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-pinch protection intervenes 5
cons ecutive times within a minute or i s faulty , the auto-
matic clo sing operation of the window i s inhibited, onl y
allowing it in s teps of half a s econd; the button is r

eleased
for the s ubsequent manoeuvre. In order to res
tore the correct operation of the system, one
of the following manoeuvre s mus t be performed:
❍ switch off and res tart the engine;
❍ fully lower the window concerned.
IMPORTANT With ignition ke y at S TOP or removed, the
electric window s remain active for about 3 minutes and
are deactivated when a door i s opened.

If you travel in areas with few filling stations
and you want to transport fuel in a spare
tank, comply with the regulations in force and
use only an approved, suitably secured tank. Any-
way, by doing so, you increase the risk of fire in case
of an accident with your vehicle.
Be careful not to hit objects on the storage
shelf when you open the tailgate.
Never exceed the maximum allowed load in
the luggage compartment; see chapter 6. Al-
so make sure that the objects you place in the
luggage compartment have been properly secured,
to avoid them from being thrown forward conse-
quent to sudden braking and injuring your passen-
gers. Never travel with the tailgate open: exhaust
gases may get into the passenger’s compartment.

SY STEM FAILURE
In the event of malfunction, the system advises the dri-
ver of the fault through message 3 - fig. 74 on the dis -
play and an acous tic signal.
IMPORTANT
The driving advi sor does not work due to a malfunction
of the following s afety systems : ABS, ESP, ASR, DS T
and TTC.
The driving advisor is not an automatic dri-
ving system and does not replace the driver
in controlling the trajectory of the car. The
driver is personally responsible for maintaining a
suitable level of attention to the traffic and road con-
ditions and for controlling the trajectory of the ve-
hicle safely.
Automatic mode
The system can be deactivated automaticall y (if the sys-
tem is required it will therefore need to be reactivated).
The driver is advised that the system has been turned off
automatically by three cons ecutive acous tic signals and
the message 1 – fig. 74 in the di splay in the following con-
ditions :
❍ the driver does not keep their hands on the steering
wheel (indication 2 - fig. 74 i s s hown on the ins tru-
ment panel and an acous tic signal sounds until the dri-
ver places his hands back on the wheel. Thi s is con-
s idered a dangerous condition and the system is au-
tomatically deactivated);
❍ intervention of the vehicle s afety systems (ABS, ESP,
A SR, DS T and TTC);
❍ the driver activates the sports driving s etting pr

essing
the SPORT button (for vers ions/markets where pro-
vided).
IMPORTANT The system cannot be activated if the dri-
ver has previous ly s elected the s ports driving mode. The
impossibility of using the system will be communicated to
the driver by three consecutive beeps and by the message
1 - fig. 74 in the di splay .

INSTALLING A UNIVERSAL ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Due to its different anchoring system, the child restraint
system must be anchored to the dedicated lower metal
rings A - fig. 11, set between rear seat backrest and rear
cushion. After removing the parcel shelf, secure the upperbelt (provided with the child restraint system) to the spe-
cific ring (after having opened the covering zip B - fig. 11)
located in the rear seat backrest.
Remember that when using a Universal Isofix child re-
straint system, you can use all type-approved systems with
the marking ECE R44 (R44/03 or superior) “Universal
Isofix”.
The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child restraint system and
the spec
ial “G 0/1” system are available from Lineacces-
sori Lancia.
For any further details on installation/use, refer to the
instruction manual for the child restraint system.

paired if the damage does not exceed 4 mm
on the tread and on the shoulder of the tyre. Give the booklet to the personnel who will be
handling the tyre treated with the repair kit. Punctures on the sides of the tyre cannot be
repaired. Do not use the quick tyre repair kit
if the tyre is damaged as the vehicle has run
on a flat tyre.If the wheel rim is damaged (the channel is
so deformed as to cause air leakage) it can-
not be repaired. Do not remove foreign bod-
ies (screws or nails) from the tyre.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The sealant of the quick tyre repair kit is effective with
external temperatures between –20°C and +50°C.
The sealant has an expiry date.
Never operate the compressor for longer than
20 consecutive minutes. Risk of overheating.
The quick tyre repair kit is not suitable for a
definitive repair. Tyres may only be repaired tem-
porarily.
