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.

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.

SWITCHING OFF THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
Press the OFF button.
The following information is shown on the
display:
❒OFF
❒outside temperature indication
❒internal air recirculation active indication.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system must be
turned on at least once a month for about
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

When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel
effort is lighter, parking operations are easier:
therefore this function is particularly useful for
driving in city centres.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market
operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect performance
and safety, invalidate warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the car with
type approval requirements.
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres
requiring a lot of steering, the steering may
become harder; this is normal and is due to the
intervention of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating, so no
intervention is required. When the car is used
again later on, the power steering will work
normally.
WARNING
Before starting any servicing
operation, stop the
engine and
remove the key from the ignition switch to
operate the steering lock, particularly when
the wheels do not touch the ground. If this
is not possible (for example if the key needs
to be turned to MAR-ON or the engine must
be running), remove the main fuse that
protects the electric power steering.

WARNING
The pretensioner may be used only
once. Go to
a Lancia Dealership
to have it replaced after it has been
deployed. Pretensioner validity is indicated
on the label located on the door contour
sheet metal. Pretensioners should be
replaced at a Lancia Dealership as this date
approaches.Operations which lead to knocks,
vibrations or localised heating (over
100°C for a maximum of 6 hours) in the
area around the pretensioners may cause
damage or trigger them. These devices are not
affected by vibrations caused by irregularities
of the road surface or low obstacles such as
kerbs, etc. Contact a Lancia Dealership for
any assistance.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger safety, the front seat belt
reels contain a load limiter which allows
controlled sag in such a way as to dose the force
acting on the chest and shoulders during the
belt restraining action in the case of frontal
collisions.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE
SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants of the car
also respect, the local laws in force in relation to
the use of the seat belts. Always fasten the seat
belts before starting.
Seat belts must also be worn by expectant
mothers: the risk of injury in the event of an
accident is greatly reduced for them and
the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position the lower part
of the belt very low down so that it passes over the
pelvis and under the abdomen (see fig. 94).

If, when the ignition key is at MAR the
warning light remains lit, turn the key to
STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light
remains lit, try with the other keys provided
with the car.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot
start the engine.
Warning light
will flash for 60
seconds after starting or during
prolonged cranking to indicate a fault
with the glow plug heating system. You can
use the car as usual if the engine starts but
you should contact a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.
WARNING
It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The
engine takes
in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are
not operational
until the engine has been started, therefore
much effort than usual is required on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
We recommend that during the initial
period you do not demand to full
performance from the car (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top
speed, sharp braking etc.).When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR to prevent
useless current absorption from
draining the battery.Never jump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it beyond
repair.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at
medium revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❒Do not demand full performance at first. Wait
until the engine coolant temperature gauge
starts moving.
