DOOR MIRRORS fig. 22
Proceed as follows to adjust the position of the door mir-
rors:
select the mirror using selector B;
adjust the mirror using controls A, in all four direc-
tions.Folding back door mirrors fig. 23
When required (for example when the mirror causes dif-
ficulty in narrow spaces) it is possible to fold the mirror
by moving it from position 1 (open), to position 2 (closed).
On some versions the door mirrors can be folded back elec-
trically by operating a dedicated control.

When driving, the mirrors should always be
in position 1. As the door mirrors are curved,
they may slightly alter the perception of dis-
tance.

IMPORTANT It is advisable to activate air recirculation
in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. Do not use the function for a long time, partic-
ularly if there are many passengers on board, to prevent
the windows from misting up.

turn knob D to -;
turn knob B to 4 -(maximum fan speed).
IMPORTANT The climate control system is very useful for
fast demisting because it dries the air. Adjust the controls
as described above and press knob B to switch the climate
control system on: the LED on the knob will light up.
LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
Run the climate control system for at least 10 minutes
every month during the winter. Have the system inspect-
ed at a Lancia Dealership before the summer.

TWO-ZONE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (where provided)
L0E0018mfig. 26
The vehicle can be equipped with a two-zone automatic
climate control system, which regulates the passenger-side
air temperature separately from the driver side.The system is equipped with an AQS (Air Quality
System) function, which automatically switches on the air
recirculation system if the outside air is polluted (e.g. in
traffic queues and tunnels).

SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The system can be switched on by pressing any button;
it is, however, advisable to set the required temperature
on the display and then press the AUTO button.
The climate control system allows you to customise the
temperature (driver-side and passenger-side) with a max-
imum difference of 7°C.
The climate control system compressor only works with
the engine running and with an outdoor temperature of
above 4°C.Automatic climate control operation (AUTO
function) A-fig. 26
Press AUTO; the system will automatically adjust:
the amount of air introduced into the passenger com-
partment;
the distribution of air inside the passenger compart-
ment;
cancelling any previous manual settings.
During climate control system automatic operation the
words FULL AUTO appear on the display.
During automatic operation it is still possible to adjust the
set temperature and carry out the following operations
manually:
adjust fan speed;
select air distribution;
switch air recirculation and AQS function on/off;
switch on the climate control system compressor.
It is advisable not to use the air recircula-
tion function when the outside temperature
is low to prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.

56GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
Selecting air distribution B-fig. 26
Press one or more buttons
 / / ˙to manually select
one of the 7 possible air distribution settings:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window
vents to demist/defrost them.
Air flow to the front and rear foot well vents. This
distribution setting rapidly heats the passenger
compartment.

˙Air flow distribution between front/rear vents,
dashboard central/side vents, rear vent, wind-
screen and front side windows demisting vents.

Air flow distribution between foot well vents and
windscreen and front side window demist-
ing/defrosting vents. This distribution setting al-
lows adequate warming of the passenger compart-
ment and prevents the windows from misting up.
˙
Air flow distribution between foot well vents (hot-
ter air) and central/side dashboard vents and rear
vent (cooler air).
˙Air flow distribution between central/side dash-
board vents, rear vent and windscreen and front
side window demisting/defrosting vents. This dis-
tribution setting allows adequate ventilation of the
passenger compartment and prevents the windows
from misting up.
IMPORTANT For the climate control system to function,
one of the following buttons must be operated:
 / /
˙. The system does not allow all buttons  / / ˙to
be switched off.
IMPORTANT Press OFF to restart the climate control sys-
tem: in this way all previously stored operating conditions
are reset before switching off.
To restore automatic air distribution control after a man-
ual selection, press AUTO.

Adjusting the fan speed fig. 26
Operate buttons C
pto increase/decrease the speed of the
fan.
The 12 possible speeds are indicated by bars lighting up
on the display:
max fan speed = all bars lit
min fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can only be disabled (no bars lit) if the climate
control compressor has been switched off by pressing but-
ton
.
To restore automatic fan speed control after a manual ad-
justment, press AUTO.Aligning the set temperatures
(MONO function) fig. 26
Press button D (MONO) to align the temperature between
the driver side and passenger side.
Then turn the AUTO or MONO knob to increase/decrease
the temperature between the two areas by the same
amount.
Press MONO again to deactivate the function.

Press button G
-to automatically activate the timed op-
eration of all the functions required to rapidly
demist/defrost the windscreen and front windows.
The functions are:
climate control compressor engagement (with an out-
door temperature of above 4°C);
disengagement (if previously engaged) of air recircu-
lation (the LED on button
Tshould be off);
engagement of heated rear windscreen (the LED on

Air recirculation is carried out according to three possi-
ble operation modes:
automatic control, indicated by the AQS appearing on
the display and the LED on button

forced disablement (air recirculation always off, air
drawn in from the outside), - the LED on button
Tshould be off;
forced engagement (air recirculation always on), the
LED on button
Tshould be lit up.
When OFF is pressed, the climate control system auto-
matically activates air recirculation (the LED on button
Tshould be on). It is still possible to activate outside
air recirculation (LED on the button is off) and vice ver-
sa, by pressing button
T.
With the OFF button pressed (LED on the button is lit
up), it is not possible to enable the AQS (Air Quality Sys-
tem) function.
IMPORTANT The air recirculation system makes it pos-
sible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the pos-
sibility of the windows misting up inside, especially if the
climate control system is not switched on. It is advisable
to switch internal air recirculation on while in queues or
in tunnels to prevent the introduction of polluted air. Do
not use the function for a long time, particularly if there
are many passengers on board, to prevent the windows
from misting up.Enabling the AQS (Air Quality System) function
The AQS function (AQS appears on the display), auto-
matically activates internal air recirculation when the out-
side air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after 15 con-
secutive minutes of the internal air recirculation system
functioning, the climate control system enables the intake
of outdoor air for approximately 1 minute to freshen the
air in the passenger compartment. This takes place re-
gardless of the pollution level of the outside air.
