This function can be activated with
the CONNECT (from the main
SETUP screen) or with the remote
control.
The system works with this mode on
if the following conditions are present
– outside temperature lower than 20
°C
– coolant temperature lower than 50
°C
– ignition key at STOPor removed
– car battery charged
– fuel not in reserve.
When this mode is on, the heater is
deactivated when one of the following
conditions occur:
– end of planned working time
– OFF signal from the remote con-
trol
– manual shutdown by the user
through CONNECT– ignition key at MAR
– partial battery rundown
– fuel in reserve
– malfunction detected by the heater
control unit.
Timed heater activation/
deactivation through CONNECT
Timed heater activation and deacti-
vation can be set through the CON-
NECT. Select and confirm “Heater”
on the main SETUP screen to display
the parked-car heater settings.
Settings available are the following:
– Operate now
– Timer 1
– Timer 2.
To activate/deactivate the required
function, select and confirm it with
the CONNECT right knob.“Operate now”
The option “Operate now” enables
to warm the passenger compartment
with the engine stopped and warm
and the ignition key to MAR, using
the engine coolant, heater coolant cir-
culation pump, automatic air distrib-
ution control (if not set manually) and
closing air recirculation. The timer
cannot be programmed when this
function is on.
To guarantee the required comfort,
this function shall be mainly activated
when coolant is hot enough. When
coolant temperature is lower than 50
°C the control unit starts the heater,
and when temperature is over 70 °C,
the control unit turns the heater off
and lets only the coolant circulation
pump keep on working.

– stationary: with the “programma-
ble heater” mode controlled by the
timer, the system conditions are con-
trolled by CONNECT.
The timer is automatically deacti-
vated if:
– the “programmable heater” mode
function is stopped by CONNECT if,
at the timer start, the “programmable
heater” mode is activated with the re-
mote control
– if the user manually activates the
heater during the timer operation
– if the timer is activated within 3
minutes after the previous heater
shutdown
– if the user manually deactivates
the timer– if the fuel level in the tank is low
when the timer is activated. This con-
dition is indicated with a message
coming from the system and the user
must confirm activation. If the user
does not confirm activation, the timer
is deactivated. The fuel level is indi-
cated by the CONNECT; if this infor-
mation is not available, it is taken into
consideration the last record before
stopping the engine
– if the timer is activated when the
heater operated by the remote control
is activated.
IMPORTANTIf the heater is in
prompt operating mode, the timer is
automatically stopped at the moment
of activation. Parameters set with the
timer are stored in the memory. If the
timer has been deactivated or
stopped, it should be manually reac-
tivated by the user.HEATER ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION WITH THE
REMOTE CONTROL (fig. 123)
Activation/deactivation of the heater
can be operated with remote control
A.
The activation signal is issued by the
remote control with a range of around
600 meters and picked up by a spe-
cific antenna placed on the car, then
it is transmitted to the supplementary
heater receiver and sent to CON-
NECT.
IMPORTANTThe maximum re-
mote control range is reached on open
land, while it is reduced in the pres-
ence of buildings.

OPERATION
WITH ENGINE RUNNING
“Supplementary heater” mode
This operating mode integrates the
engine coolant warming up, immedi-
ately after start up or during driving,
to reach and keep the optimal work-
ing temperature of the engine and the
passenger compartment heater in the
quickest way.
This mode is activated automatically
by the climate control unit when the
following conditions occur at the same
time:
– ignition key at MAR
– engine running– coolant temperature lower than 30
°C
– the climate control unit detects
(according to sensor detected temper-
atures) that fast passenger compart-
ment warming is required.
This mode is automatically deacti-
vated when one of the following con-
ditions occurs:
– coolant temperature higher than
70 °C
– the heater control unit detects a
fault in the supplementary heater
– engine off. The batteries must be replaced with
new ones of the same type, available
at the usual sellers.
To replace batteries:
– remove the remote control cover
by pushing it in the arrow direction
indicated on the cover
– remove exhausted batteries and
take note of their position
– fit the new batteries with pole (+)
towards the remote control antenna
– fit down the cover.
Request for additional remote
controls
The heater receiver will acknowl-
edge up to three remote controls. To
order new remote controls, or to re-
place the original one, contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.

(fig. 179).
Certain versions are fitted with a
power socket inside the glove com-
partment.
The socket is powered when the
key is turned to MAR. It can be used
only for accessories with a maximum
intake of 15A (power 180W).ELECTRIC SUNSHADE (fig. 181)
The electric sunshade works with
ignition key at MAR.
The buttons for operating it are
located on the central console, near
the gearshift lever and inside the
rear armrest.
To operate the electric sunshade
from the front seats: press button A
to open it and button Bto close it.
To operate the electric sunshade
from the rear seats: press the front
part of button Cto open it and press
the rear part to close it.
Do not use the socket for
power devices with a
higher intake than that
shown.
Prolonged current intake can
drain the battery and lead to
problems when starting the
engine.– the power socket
– the remote control used for the
CONNECT HI-FI and TV functions
– the additional phone handset.
IMPORTANTTo use the power
socket, read the instructions of the
relevant paragraph in this chapter.
