During fully automatic operation the
set temperatures, the air distribution
and fan speed can be changed using
the corresponding supplied buttons or
knobs at any time. The system will
automatically change the settings to
adapt to the new request.
During fully automatic operation
(FULL AUTO), the word FULLwill
disappear if the air distribution, air
speed, compressor and/or recircula-
tion settings are changed. In this way,
the functions will switch from auto-
matic to manual control until AUTO
is pressed again. There is only one fan
speed in all the areas of the passenger
compartment.
With on or more manually set func-
tions, the delivered air temperature is
still managed automatically by the
system, except for when the compres-
sor is off. In the case, the air delivered
into the passenger compartment can-
not be cooler than the outside air. During fully automatic operation, the
only functions that are enabled man-
ually are:
❒MONOto align the air tempera-
ture and distribution on the pas-
senger’s side with that on the dri-
ver’s side;
❒
…, air recirculation, to keep it
always on or off;
❒
-to speed up demisting/defrost-
ing of windscreen, side windows,
rear window and door mirrors;
❒
(to demist/defrost the rear win-
dow and door mirrors. USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to press one
of the AUTObuttons and then to turn
the knobs to set the temperatures re-
quired on the display.
As the system manages two zones in
the passenger compartment, the driver
and front passenger can select differ-
ent temperature values with a maxi-
mum difference of 7 °C.
The system starts running automati-
cally in this way in order to reach
comfortable temperature as quickly
as possible depending on the set tem-
perature values. The system adjusts
the temperature, amount and distrib-
ution of air delivered to the passenger
compartment. In addition, it manages
the recirculation function to engage
the climate control system compres-
sor.

distribution mode enables proper
heating of the passenger compart-
ment, thus preventing possible
window misting. The function is enabled when the pas-
senger compartment needs to be
cooled as quickly as possible, thus us-
ing the system operating capacity at
best. This function enables air recir-
culation and engages the climate con-
trol system compressor; air distribu-
tion and fan speed are managed by
the system based on ambient condi-
tions. All manual settings will be al-
lowed when this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob clockwise and
set the required temperature.Air distribution
buttons I-M
Pressing these but-
tons it is possible to
manually set one of
the five possible air
distribution modes to
the passenger com-
partment (right or
left side):
▲air flow to the windscreen and
front side window vents to demist
or defrost them;
˙air flow at central and side dash-
board vents to ventilate the chest
and the face during the hot season;
▼air flow to the front and rear foot
well vents. Thanks to the natural
upwards movement of heat, this
type of distribution is the quickest
for heating the passenger com-
partment offering the passenger(s)
a prompt feeling of heated air.

IMPORTANT Air recirculation ON
enables faster achievement of the de-
sired conditions (for passenger com-
partment heating or cooling). It is
however inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days as it would consider-
ably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside, especially if
the climate control compressor is off.
Recirculation is forced to off (i.e. air
is introduced from the outside) when
the outside temperature is inferior to
5-7°C to prevent misting up.Climate control

Press the button when the LED is off
to automatically restore system con-
trol and use of the compressor. Suc-
cessful completion of this operation is
highlighted by the button LED
switching on.
The system will switch recirculation
off when the compressor is switched
to off to prevent windows from mist-
ing up. Although the system is capa-
ble of maintaining the required tem-
perature, the word FULLwill disap-
pear from the display. If on the other
hand the system cannot maintain the
required temperature, the digits will
blink and the word AUTOwill disap-
pear.
IMPORTANT With the compressor
off, it is not possible to introduced air
cooler than ambient temperature into
the passenger compartment. Further-
more, in certain conditions, the win-
dows could mist up rapidly because
the air is not dehumidified.
It is advisable not to use
the air recirculation func-
tion when the outside temperature
is low to prevent the windows from
rapidly misting up.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of
your car down and lower the amount
of toxic emissions released into the at-
mosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Service
schedule”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption
because rolling resistance will be
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
boot. The weight of the car (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affect consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These acces-
sories decrease aerodynamic penetra-
tion of the car and have a negative ef-
fect on consumption. It is better to use
a trailer to transport particularly
bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the
amount of time needed. Rear heated
window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, there-
fore increasing the requirement of
current increases fuel consumption
(up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires
higher fuel consumption (up to +20%
in average): use the air vents when the
external temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag
and consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the
car standing: the engine warms up
very slowly in these conditions, in-
creasing consumption and emissions.
It is advisable to start off immediately
and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much
faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at
traffic lights or before stopping the
engine. The latter action, like dou-
bling the clutch, is unnecessary and
causes increase of consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic
and road conditions allow. Using a
low gear for faster acceleration will in-
crease consumption.
In the same way improper use of a
high gear increases consumption,
emissions an engine wear.

❒frequently idling engines or long
distance low speed driving (e.g.
taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or
in case of a long term inactivity;
❒replace engine oil more frequently
than required on “Service sched-
ule”.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
If the car is used on dusty roads
change the air cleaner more fre-
quently than the indications in the
“Service schedule”. If in doubt as to
how often the engine oil and air
cleaner should be changed according
to how you use the car, contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
If the car is used frequently in dusty
or heavily polluted environments it is
advisable to replace the filtering ele-
ment more frequently; in particular it
should be replaced if a reduction of
the amount of air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment is noted.
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
The possibility of topping up with
diesel fuel not complying with EN590
European Norm might make it neces-
sary to replace the filter more fre-
quently than indicated in the “Service
schedule”.IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in the battery should be
checked at the start of winter to limit
the risk of electrolyte freezing.
Perform this inspection more fre-
quently if the car is mainly used for
short distances or if electrical devices
running with the key off are installed,
particularly after-market. If the car is
used in hot climates or in particularly
heavy duty conditions, it is advisable
to check the battery fluid (electrolyte)
level at more frequent intervals com-
pared to those provided for in the
“Service Schedule”.
Car maintenance should be
entrusted to Lancia Dealer-
ship. For routine and minor
maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, al-
ways make sure 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.
