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.

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.

START&STOP
Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control manages the
Start&Stop function (engine off when the car
speed is zero) to guarantee adequate comfort
inside the passenger compartment.
In particular, when the weather is extremely hot,
the Start&Stop function is deactivated until
adequate passenger compartment comfort is
ensured. During these transitory stages the engine
is not stopped, even if the car speed is zero.
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.

STORING THE CAR
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be
observed:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible
well-ventilated premises and slightly open
the windows;
❒engage a gear and check that the handbrake is
not engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal (for
versions with Start&Stop system refer to the
paragraph "Start&Stop system" in the chapter
"Knowing your car"); If the battery is not
disconnected the from the electrical system,
check its charge every thirty days;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds available commercially;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper blades and
lift them off the glass;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated
plastic as they do not allow moisture on the car
body to evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the standard
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.

SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance
with local regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the
front wheel tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first
few metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided). If the front tyre has a puncture, replace
a rear wheel with the sapce-saver wheel and
move the rear wheel to the front axle. This way
with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can be
fitted to them to solve an emergency.
Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50
km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and
pavements and avoid driving for long
distances on roads not covered with snow to
prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.

ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked when the
engine is cold and must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, undo reservoir cap C (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when
topping up. PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed
with any other types of fluids. If this occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your
Lancia Dealership immediately.
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the cap with
another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHING
FLUID
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap D (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
WARNING
Do not travel if the windscreen
washer reservoir is empty: using the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may set it on fire.

BRAKE FLUID
Check that the liquid is at the maximum level (the
fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the
MAX mark). If the fluid level in the tank is too
low, undo reservoir cap E (see previous pages) and
add the fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
NoteCarefully clean the cap of the reservoir E
and the surrounding surface.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets
into the reservoir.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with
integrated filter with mesh equal to or lower than
0.12 mm.
