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

❒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.

distribution allows the passenger
compartment to be warmed up quickly.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.

When the Start&Stop function is active (engine off
at zero car speed), the climate control system will
request the reactivation of the engine if the inside
temperature conditions rapidly deteriorate (or if
the user requests maximum cooling – LO – or
quick demisting – MAX DEF).
With Start&Stop function active (engine off at
zero car speed), the air flow rate (if managed
automatically) is reduced in order to maintain the
passenger compartment comfort conditions for
as long as possible.
The climate control system control unit attempts
to manage the decreased comfort caused by
stopping the engine as far as possible (switching
off the compressor and engine coolant pump) but
the operation of the climate control system can
be favoured by deactivating the Start&Stop
function using the dedicated button on the
dashboard.
NOTEIn particularly severe climate conditions it
is recommended to limit the use of the Start&Stop
function to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with
consequent rapid misting of the windows and
accumulation of humidity with unpleasant smells
in the passenger compartment.
EXTERNAL LIGHTSThe left-hand stalk operates most of the external
lights.
The ignition key has to be in the MAR position for
the exterior lights to come on.
The instrument panel and the various dashboard
controls will come on with the external lights.
DAY LIGHTS (DRL)
"Daytime Running Lights"
(for versions/markets, where provided)
With the ignition key turned to MAR-ON and ring
nut A fig. 34 turned to positionOthe daytime
running lights are automatically activated; the
other lights and interior lighting remain off.
If the daytime running lights are deactivated, no
light comes on when ring nut A is turned toO.

WARNING BUZZER
The information concerning the presence and
distance of an obstacle from the car is transmitted
by means of acoustic signals from buzzers
installed in the passenger compartment:
❒in the versions with 4 rear sensors, a buzzer in
the front dashboard area warns of the presence
of rear obstacles;
❒in the versions with 10 sensors, a front buzzer
warns of the presence of obstacles at the front
and a buzzer located at the rear warns of the
presence of obstacles at the rear.
The acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between the car and
the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases
❒remains constant if the distance remains
unchanged; if this situation concerns the side
sensors, the buzzer will stop after about 3
seconds to avoid, for example, warning
indications in the event of manoeuvres along
walls.
The sensor must be free of mud, dirt,
snow or ice in order for the system
to work. Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
sensors should be washed using clean water
with the addition of car shampoo if necessary.
When using special washing equipment such
as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean
the sensors very quickly keeping the jet more
than 10 cm away.Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the
area of the sensors carried out by a
Lancia Dealership. Incorrect paint
application could affect the operation of the
parking sensors.
