Proceed as follows:
❒turn knob A to the red section;
❒move slider B to
;
❒turn knob C to
;
❒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 activates automatically when knob A is
turned to the last red section and the fan is
activated (knob E turned to at least 1
stspeed).
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.

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.+

When the
symbol is lit on the display, press
button C to switch off the compressor.
When the compressor is deactivated:
❒the system will deactivate air recirculation to

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).

❒deactivation, if previously activated, of the
internal air recirculation
❒activation of heated rear window (LED on

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.
CLIMATE CONTROL COMPRESSOR
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
Press button
to switch on the climate control
compressor.

symbol on display disappears;
❒internal air recirculation excluded;
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 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 footwell diffusers. This air
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.
+
Air flow distribution between footwell
diffusers (hotter air) and centre/side
dashboard diffusers (cooler air).
IMPORTANT For the climate control system to
function, at least one of the buttons A must be
operated. The system does not allow the
deactivation of all the buttons A.

(AUTOLIGHT) (Dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This infrared LED sensor, combined with the rain
sensor and located on the windscreen, detects
the variations in outside brightness depending on
the light sensitivity set with the Setup Menu:
the greater the sensitivity, the less external light is
required to activate the exterior lights.
Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring nut A fig. 34
is turned to
. In this way the side lights and
dipped headlights are activated automatically
according to the external light level.
When the lights are turned on by the sensor, the

The ring nut A fig. 35 can be moved to four
different positions:
windscreen wiper off.intermittent operation.continuous slow operation.continuous fast operation.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 car.
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
