GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the
driver to change gear through a specific indication
on the control panel fig. 7.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified that
changing gear will allow a reduction in fuel
consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is shown on
the display, the GSI is advising the driver to
engage a higher gear, while the SHIFT DOWN
SHIFT) icon advises the driver to engage a
lower gear.
The indication in the instrument panel remains on
until the driver changes gear or the driving
conditions return to a situation where changing
gear is not required to improve consumption.WELCOME MOVEMENT
On some versions, when the key is turned to MAR,
the following occurs:
❒quick movement (up and down) of the
speedometer and rpm gauge
❒lighting of graphic symbols/display
❒display of the Lancia logo.
Gauge movement
If the key is removed from the ignition switch
whilst the gauges are moving, they immediately
return to their initial position.
Once they have reached the full scale values, the
gauges rest on the value indicated by the car.
The movement of the gauges stops when the
engine is started.fig. 7

(

THE LANCIA CODE SYSTEMTo further protect your car from theft, it has been
fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is
automatically activated when the ignition key
is removed.
Each key contains an electronic device which
modulates the signal emitted during ignition by an
antenna built into the ignition device. The signal
is the "password", different every time the car
is started, through which the control unit
recognises the key and enables starting.OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning the ignition
key to MAR, the Lancia CODE system control
unit sends an acknowledgement code to the engine
control unit to deactivate the immobilizer. The
code is sent only if the control unit of the Lancia
CODE system has acknowledged the code received
from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the
Lancia CODE system deactivates the functions
of the engine management control unit. If, during
starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the
warning light switches on in the instrument
panel. In this case, turn the key to STOP and then
to MAR; if it is still locked, try again with the
other keys that come with the vehicle. Contact a
Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.
Warning light
switching on while driving
If the
warning light switches on, this means
that the system is running a self-diagnosis (for
example for a voltage drop). If the problem
persists, contact a Lancia Dealership.

IGNITION DEVICEThe key can be turned to 3 different
positionsfig. 16:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering
column locked. Some electrical devices (e.g.
sound system, central door locking system, etc.)
can operate;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are
enabled;
❒AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety system
that requires the ignition key to be turned back to
STOP if the engine does not start, before the
starting operation can be repeated.
WARNING
If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted
theft), have it checked over by a Lancia
Dealership before driving again.
WARNING
Always remove the key when you
leave your car to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the handbrake. Engage
1
stgear if the car is parked uphill or reverse

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.
Compressor activation:
symbol appears on
display.
Compressor deactivation
❒
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.

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.

START&STOP
Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control manages the
Start&Stop function (engine off when the car
speed is zero) to guarantee adequate comfort
inside the passenger compartment.
In particular, when the weather is extremely hot,
the Start&Stop function is deactivated until
adequate passenger compartment comfort is
ensured. During these transitory stages the engine
is not stopped, even if the car speed is zero.
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.
