ACTIVATION OF INTERIOR AIR
RECIRCULATION AND ENABLEMENT OF
AQS FUNCTION (Air Quality System)
Press button
.
Internal air recirculation is carried out according
to three possible operating modes:
❒automatic control;
❒forced deactivation (air recirculation always
deactivated, air taken from the outside)
❒forced activation (internal air circulation always
activated).
When the OFF button is pressed, the climate
control system automatically activates internal air
recirculation. External air recirculation can always
be activated by pressing button
and vice
versa.
With the OFF button pressed, it is not possible to
activate the AQS (Air Quality System) function.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.
AQS (Air Quality System) function activation
The AQS function automatically activates internal
air recirculation when the outside air is polluted
(e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after
15 consecutive minutes of the internal air
recirculation system functioning, the climate
control system enables the intake of outside air for
approximately 1 minute to freshen the air in the
passenger compartment. This takes place
regardless of the pollution level of the outside air.
CLIMATE CONTROL COMPRESSOR

or AUTO again: if you press AUTO,
the other manual settings will be cancelled.
AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION
Press one or more of buttons A fig. 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 front and rear footwell
diffusers. This air distribution allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed up
quickly.+
+
Air flow distribution between
front and rear diffusers,
centre/side dashboard diffusers,
rear diffuser and windscreen
and front side window
demisting/defrosting diffusers.
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 and rear diffuser
(cooler air).
+
Air flow distribution between
centre/side dashboard vents, rear
diffuser and windscreen and front side
window demisting/defrosting diffusers.
This distribution setting ventilates
the passenger compartment well and
prevents the windows from misting up.
IMPORTANT For the climate control system to
function, at least one of the buttons A must be
operated fig. . 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

10 minutes.
Before summer, have the system checked at a
Lancia Dealership.
The system uses R134a refrigerant
fluid which does not pollute the
environment in the event of accidental
leakage. Never use R12 fluid, which is not
compatible with the system components.HEATED REAR WINDOW

res arting

In these cases, the display shows a message and -
for versions/markets, where provided - the symbol
flashes on the display.
If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Start&Stop system can be disabled,
for a continuous operation of the
climate control system.
ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful emissions
and safety purposes, the power unit can restart
automatically without any action on behalf of the
driver if certain conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the
brake pedal is pressed repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a
gradient);
❒engine stopping by Start&Stop system for over
3 minutes;
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets where provided),
to enable suitable thermal comfort or with
MAX-DEF activation.With gear engaged, automatic engine restarting is
possible only by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
The driver is informed by the displaying of a
message on the display and - for versions/markets,
where provided - by the flashing of the symbol
.
Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, 3 minutes after the
engine stops, the engine can be restarted only
using the ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and this is not
desired, due for example to the clutch pedal being
released sharply with a gear engaged, if the
Start&Stop system is activated, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or
by placing the gear lever in neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the Start&Stop
system, if the driver releases his/her seat belt and
opens the driver's or passenger's door, the engine
can be restarted only using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer and by the
flashing of the symbol
on the display; on some
versions, a message is displayed as well.

Electrical devices
Only use electrical devices for the time needed.
The heated rear window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, therefore
increasing fuel consumption (by up to 25% in the
urban cycle).
Climate control system
The use of the climate control system leads to
higher fuel consumption. If the temperature
outside permits, try to use ventilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a
standstill or at idle or high speed: under these
conditions the engine warms up much more
slowly, increasing consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to move off immediately,
slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way
the engine will warm up more quickly.Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when at traffic lights or before
stopping the engine. This and also double
declutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars
and also increases 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 increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear
increases consumption, emissions and engine wear.
Maximum speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed
increases. Maintain a constant speed, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration, which cost
in terms of both fuel and emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative effect on
fuel consumption and emissions: accelerate
gradually.

FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by specific European Directives. The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:❒
urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒
extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the car: speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
❒
combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, car load, presence of roof racksand other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuelconsumption figures than those measured.
