ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device speeds up passenger compartment
warming when it is very cold. The additional
heater turns off automatically after reaching the
required comfort conditions.
The heater only works if the outside temperature
and engine coolant temperature are low. The
heater will not activate if the battery voltage is too
low.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system must be
turned on at least once a month for about
10 minutes. Have the system inspected at a
Lancia Dealership before the summer.

Manual selections always have higher priority over
automatic settings and are stored until the user
switches the system back to automatic control
expect for cases in which the system intervenes for
particular safety-related reasons. You can adjust
one function manually without affecting the
automatic control of the others.
The amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment is not affected by car speed; it is
regulated by the fan, which is controlled
electronically.
The temperature of the air introduced is always
controlled automatically, according to the
temperature set in the display for the driver and
the front passenger (except when the system is off
or in certain conditions when the compressor is
deactivated).
The system allows the following to be set or
adjusted manually:
❒driver/front passenger side air temperature
❒fan speed (continuous variation)
❒air distribution to 5 positions (driver/passenger)
❒compressor activation
❒rapid defrosting/demisting function
❒air recirculation
❒heated rear window
❒system deactivation.SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The system can be switched on in various ways; it
is however advisable to press the AUTO button
and set the desired temperature on the display.
The climate control system allows you to
customise the temperatures requested (driver side
and passenger side) with a maximum difference
of 7°C.
The climate control system compressor works only
with the engine running and with an outside
temperature of above 4°C.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
OPERATION
Press the AUTO button; the system will
automatically adjust:
❒the amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment;
❒the distribution of the air in the passenger
compartment;
cancelling all previous manual adjustments.
During climate control system automatic
operation, the word AUTO appears on the display.
During automatic operation it is still possible to
adjust the temperatures set and carry out the
following operations manually:
❒fan speed adjustment
❒air distribution selection

Compressor deactivation
❒
symbol on display disappears;
❒internal air recirculation excluded;
❒AQS function disabled.
With the climate control compressor switched off,
air cannot be introduced into the passenger
compartment that has a lower temperature than
the outside air; in this case the
symbol in the
display will flash.
The deactivation of the climate control compressor
is memorised even after the engine has stopped.
To reactivate the climate control compressor, press
button
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
off are restored.
To restore automatic control of the air distribution
after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.

Move the stalk upwards (unstable position) to
limit operation to the time for which the stalk is
held in this position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the wiper will
be automatically stopped.
With the ring nut A fig. 35 in position
, the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt
operating speed to the speed of the vehicle.
With the windscreen wipers operational, if reverse
gear is engaged, the rear window wiper is
automatically activated.
Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protection,
which prevents operation for a few seconds,
may intervene. If operation is not restored
(even after using the key to restart the engine),
contact a Lancia Dealership.Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the
windscreen."Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to activate the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half a
second, with just one movement it is possible to
operate the washer jet and the wiper at the same
time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the
stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the rear view
mirror in contact with the windscreen fig. 36 and
has the purpose of automatically adjusting the
frequency of the windscreen wiper strokes
depending on the intensity of the rain during
intermittent operation.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at first continuous
speed (slow continuous operation) with intense
rain.

Increasing the stored speed
This can be carried out in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and storing the new
speed reached
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each movement of the stalk corresponds to an
increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held upwards will continuously increase
the speed.
Decreasing the stored speed
This can be carried out in two ways:
❒by deactivating the device and then storing the
new speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (-) until the
new speed, which will be stored automatically, is
reached.
Each movement of the lever corresponds to a
reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease the speed
continuously.
Deactivating the device
The device can be deactivated by the driver in the
following ways:
❒by turning ring nut A to the OFF position❒by stopping the engine
❒by pressing the brake pedal, the clutch or the
accelerator; in this last case the system is not
effectively deactivated but gives priority to the
acceleration request. The device still remains
active, without the need to press the RES button
to return to the previous condition once
acceleration is concluded.
Automatic deactivation
The device deactivates automatically in the
following cases:
❒if the ABS or ESC systems intervene
❒with the car speed below the set limit
❒in the event of system failure.
WARNING
When travelling with the device
active, never move
the gear lever to
neutral.
WARNING
In the event of device faults or
failures, turn knob
A to OFF and
contact a Lancia Dealership.
