INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed
after buying the car or in aftermarket
shall bear the and marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the in-
stallation of transceivers provided that
installation is carried out at a special-
ized shop, workmanlike performed
and in compliance with manufac-
turer's specifications.
IMPORTANTInstallation of devices
resulting in modifications of car char-
acteristics may cause driving license
seizing by traffic agents and also the
lapse of the warranty as concerns de-
fects due to the abovementioned mod-
ification or traceable back to it di-
rectly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all respon-
sibility for damages caused by the in-
stallation of non-genuine accessories
or not recommended by Fiat Auto
S.p.A. and installed not in compliance
with the specified requirements. ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY
THE USER
If after buying the car, you decide
to install electrical accessories that
require a permanent power supply
(e.g. satellite antitheft device), or
any other accessory that burden the
electric supply, contact your Lancia
Dealershipwhose qualified person-
nel, besides suggesting the most suit-
able devices belonging to the
Lineaccessori Lancia, will also eval-
uate the total electrical absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric
system is able to withstand the
required load or whether it must be
integrated with a more powerful
battery.

Before actuating the
sunshade, make sure that
no object is placed on the
rear parcel shelf.
MAP POCKETS (fig. 182)
(where provided)
Paper pockets are located on the
back of the front seats.
HANDLES (fig. 183)

SOLAR CELL
OPERATED
SUNROOF
The sunroof is electrically con-
trolled and its operation is possible
only with the ignition key at MAR.
The sunroof can slide lenghtwise,
with various opening positions, until
it fully retracts into the special hous-
ing, or can lift at the front (by pivot-
ing) to allow passenger compart-
ment aeration.
The upper part of the sunroof
incorporates a set of solar cells that
feed the climate control system fan
at first speed when the car is parked
to reduce the temperature inside the
passenger compartment.IMPORTANTBest operation of
the fan when the car is parked is
obtained by closing completely the
windows and sunroof. Furthermore,
to check operation at first speed of
the fan, disengage air vents and set
air distribution from central dash-
board vents only before leaving the
car.
The sunroof is equipped with an
anti-trap safety system, which con-
trols the closing lenghtwise sliding as
well as pivoting.
The electronic control unit that
controls the system is able to detect
the presence of obstacles when the
roof is closing or pivoting at the rear;
in this case, the system will interrupt
the sunroof travel and immediately
reverse it for a short stretch. RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND
CELLULAR TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.:
e-tacs mobile phones, HAM radio
systems and the like) shall not be
used inside the car unless a separate
aerial is mounted outside the car.
The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without
external aerial) may cause electrical
systems equipping the car to mal-
function. This could compromise car
safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and
reception of these devices may be
affected by the shielding effect of the
car body.
As concerns the use of mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS) pro-
vided with official EC approval,
strictly comply with the instructions
given by the mobile phone manufac-
turer.

223
The sunroof must not be
opened in the presence of
snow or ice; otherwise, it
could be damaged.
IMPORTANT On versions fitted
with the Keyless System, do not lay
the CID device outside the car on the
sunroof, to avoid a fake identifica-
tion of the CID itself as if inside the
car. SUNROOF OPENING/CLOSING
AND PIVOTING
All the sunroof functions (opening,
closing and rear pivoting) are con-
trolled by selector A(fig. 184).
Six positions for lenghtwise open-
ing and three for pivoting are pro-
vided (fig. 185).
After rotating the selector, the sun-
roof will move and stop automatical-
ly in the required position.
When the sunroof is opened, a
deflector A (fig. 186) will automati-
cally lift in the front part, which
deviates the air flow.

L0A0284b
Improper use of the sun-
roof can in any case be
dangerous, even if the
anti-trap safety system is avail-
able. Before and during sunroof
actuation, make sure that pas-
sengers are not exposed to the
risk of injuries caused by the
moving roof or by objects pulled
or hit by the roof itself. Always
remove the ignition key when you
leave your car, to prevent the
sunroof from being unintention-
ally actuated, which could be
dangerous for the passengers
inside the car.

224
After battery disconnec-
tion or fuse interruption,
the anti-trap system must
be initialized again as follows:
1) turn selector A clockwise and
fully to its stop, to position 3 cor-
responding to maximum pivoting
(fig. 184)
2) keep selector A depressed
until the sunroof jolts along to the
maximum pivoting position
3) release the selector after the
sunroof has stopped for at least 2
seconds
4) press, within 5 seconds, the
selector again and keep it
depressed
5) the sunroof will start moving
within 5 further seconds and will
perform a complete opening and
closing cycle, after which it will
stop in the closed position
6) release the selector after the
sunroof has stopped for at least 2
seconds.The system is thus initialized
and resumes its normal opera-
tion. If this does not occur, con-
tact your Lancia Dealership.
If the operation is interrupted
before it is completed, repeat the
procedure from the start.Regularly check that the
water draining holes A
(fig. 187 set at the corners
of the sunroof housing, are not
obstructed.

CENTRAL SUNROOF AND
WINDOW LOCKING SYSTEM
Central locking/opening of sunroof
and windows can be actuated at the
following conditions:
– ignition key removed
– all doors closed correctly.To actuate central locking by
means of the remote control, keep
button B(fig. 188) depressed for
more than 3 seconds after closing
the doors: the sunroof and window
winders will be actuated until they
are completely closed or the button
is released.
To actuate central locking by
means of the remote control, keep
button A(fig. 188) depressed for
more than 3 seconds after opening
the doors: the sunroof and windows
winders will be actuated until they
are completely open or the button is
released.
This function can be used before
getting into the car when it has been
parked in the sun, in order to aerate
the passenger compartment.Central locking can also be actuat-
ed by turning the key in the lock of
one of the front doors: keep the key
turned to 2(fig. 189) for more than
3 seconds. The sunroof and window
winders are actuated until they are
completely closed or the key is
released.
By keeping the key turned to 1(fig.
189) for more than 3 seconds, both
the sunroof and all the windows will
open. The sunroof and window
winders are actuated until they are
completely open or the key is
released.

SOLAR CELLS
The upper part of the sunroof
incorporates 21 solar cells that pro-
duce a maximum power of 24 W to
feed the climate control system fan,
when the car is parked with the sun-
roof closed or in pivoting position.
Fan actuation is automatic and air
distribution corresponds to the latest
setting made before switching the
car off.
This function is useful especially on
summer days, since it greatly
reduces the temperature inside the
passenger compartment as well as
the duration of the cooling cycle
after car start-up, thus avoiding the
accumulation of warm air in the air-
conditioning unit lines.
In winter, the ventilation function
reduces dampness inside the passen-
ger compartment.EMERGENCY MANOEUVRE
In case the electric actuation device
fails to operate, the sunroof can be
actuated manually, proceeding as
follows:
1)Take the Allen screw wrench D
(fig. 191) out of the tool kit and use
it to actuate the sunroof in an emer-
gency.
2)Remove front ceiling light caps
Aand B(fig. 190) by levering with
a screwdriver on the outer side (the
caps are press-fitted).
3)Take out screws C(fig. 191)
and remove the ceiling light by
releasing it from the front clamps.
IMPORTANTDo not disconnect
the ceiling light connectors.4)Insert the Allen screw wrench D
into the hexagonal seat of the sun-
roof starter motor, then turn it:
– clockwise to open the sunroof
– counterclockwise to close the
sunroof.
5)After completing the closing or
opening operation, put the ceiling
light back to its place by fitting in
the front clamps first and then fixing
the rear screws.
IMPORTANTWhen refitting the
ceiling light, check that the electric
cables are positioned correctly.
6)Press-fit the screw cover caps.

BOOT
The boot can be opened both from
the outside and the inside of the car.
IMPORTANT Faulty closing of the
boot is signalled by the lighting of
the relevant symbol on the multi-
function display, together with mes-
sage “BOOT OPEN”With the battery flat, or
after the interruption of
one of the protection
fuses, or if you want to disconnect
a loaded battery (e.g. for a car
stop period), before opening the
luggage compartment bonnet
carefully read and comply with
the instructions contained in the
paragraph “If battery is to be dis-
connected” in the chapter “In an
emergency”.
OPENING FROM THE INSIDE
Boot tailgate is opened electrically.
It can be opened only when the igni-
tion key is at MARand the car is
stopped, or for 3 minutes after turn-
ing the key to STOPwithout open-
ing or closing a door.
To open the boot, press button A
(fig. 192), placed on the central con-
sole, as follows:
– a short pressure of the button will
release the boot lock– a prolonged pressure of the but-
ton will release the lock and open
the boot.
Boot lifting is facilitated by the
action of gas dampers.
The dampers are cali-
brated so as to ensure
correct lifting of the boot
tailgate with the weights estab-
lished by the manufacturer.
Addition of extra equipment (e.g.
spoiler, etc.) can adversely affect
operation and safety of use.

In an emergency (battery run down
or electrical system failure), the tail-
gate can be opened by fully turning
counterclockwise the key in the lock
and exerting at the same time a
slight pressure on the lower edge of
the number plate holder to reduce
the opening effort.
IMPORTANTIf the boot was
opened using the key, at closing the
automatic function will be deacti-
vated. To restore the automatic
function press button A.OPENING BY MEANS OF THE
REMOTE CONTROL
The tailgate can be opened from
the outside by pressing button A
(fig. 194) on the remote control,
even when the electronic alarm is on.
When the electronic alarm is on,
boot opening is accompanied by
double flashing of direction indica-
tors; boot closing is accompanied by
one flashing.
IMPORTANTIf the boot is opened
with the key when the electronic
alarm is on, the latter will not be
deactivated.If the electronic alarm is on, both
the volumetric protection and the
boot control sensor will be switched
off, and the system will emit (except
for versions of certain markets) two
beeps.
