❒turn knob E to 4 (maximum fan speed).
IMPORTANT The climate control system is very
useful for speeding up demisting since it
dehumidifies the air. Adjust the controls as
described above and press button
to activate the
climate control system (the LED on the button
will light up).
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.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL(for versions/markets, where provided)
CONTROLS
Buttons A - Manual air distribution selection
By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible
air flow distribution modes can be selected:
to the windscreen and front side window
diffusers to demist or defrost them.
to the central and side dashboard vents to
ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.towards the front seat feet area diffusers. Due
to the natural tendency of heat to rise, this
type of distribution warms the passenger
compartment up as quickly as possible,
providing an immediate feeling of warmth.

+
distribution between feet area diffusers
(warmest air) and dashboard vents
(coolest air).
+
distribution between feet area diffusers
and windscreen/front side window
diffusers. This type of distribution
achieves effective heating of the
passenger compartment and prevents
the windows from misting up.
Button B MAX
- MAX-DEF function
activation
When theMAXbutton
is pressed, the system
activates all the functions required for fast
demisting/defrosting, that is:
❒compressor on (if the weather conditions are
suitable)
❒air recirculation off
❒maximum air temperature setting (HI)
❒fan speed determined according to the coolant
temperature
❒air flow conveyed to the windscreen and front
side windows
❒Button C
- Climate control compressor
activation/deactivation
When the button is pressed, the compressor is
deactivated.
When the compressor is deactivated:
❒the system will deactivate air recirculation to
prevent the windows from misting up;❒it is not possible to convey air to the passenger
compartment with a temperature below the
outside temperature (the temperature indicated
on the display will flash when the system cannot
guarantee the required comfort conditions);
❒the fan speed can be manually reset (with
compressor enabled, ventilation cannot go
below a bar shown on the display).
Button D
- Internal air recirculation
on/off
It is advisable to switch the internal air
recirculation on whilst queuing or in tunnels to
prevent the introduction of polluted air.
At low temperatures or if the compressor is off,
the recirculation is forced to off to prevent
misting.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air
recirculation when the outside temperature is low,
since the windows could mist rapidly.
Button E (AUTO) - AUTO function activation
(automatic climate control operation)
When the AUTO button is pressed and the
required temperature is set, the system adjusts air
temperature, quantity and distribution into the
passenger compartment and manages the
activation of the compressor.

switches on.
Buttons G
- Fan speed adjustment
Button H (OFF) - Climate control activation/
deactivation
When the OFF button is pressed, the system is
deactivated.
With the system off, the climate control system
conditions are as follows:
❒all LEDs are off;
❒set temperature display is off;
❒air recirculation is off;
❒compressor is off;
❒fan is off.
Button I - Air temperature increase
When the button is pressed, the passenger
compartment air temperature increases.
Button L - Air temperature decrease
When the button is pressed, the passenger
compartment air temperature decreases.DESCRIPTION
The automatic climate control allows
the driver side air temperature and passenger side
air temperature to be adjusted separately.
The system has an AQS function (Air Quality
System), which automatically activates internal
air recirculation when the outside air is polluted
(e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).
The automatically controlled parameters and
functions are:
❒air temperature at the driver/front passenger
side vents
❒air distribution at the driver/front passenger
side vents
❒fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow)
❒compressor activation (for cooling/
dehumidifying the air)
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually. In other
words, you may select one or more functions
and change the parameters as required. Automatic
control of the manually changed functions will
be suspended: the system will only override your
settings for safety-related reasons (e.g. risk of
misting).

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
