SWITCHING OFF THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
Press the OFF button.
The following information is shown on the
display:
❒OFF
❒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.ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This allows the passenger compartment to be
heated more quickly in cold weather conditions.
The heater switches on automatically according to
the environmental conditions and with engine
started when the temperature of the engine
coolant is low.
The heater switches off automatically when the
required comfort conditions are achieved.
The heater only operates if the outside
temperature and engine coolant temperature are
low. The heater will not activate if the battery
voltage is too low.

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.

(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
fog lights (for versions/markets, where provided)
and the rear fog lights may be turned on. When
the lights are automatically switched off, the front
and rear fog lights (if activated) are also switched
off. The next time the lights are switched on
automatically, the fog lights must be reactivated
manually (if required).
With the sensor active, it is possible to flash the
headlights but the main beam headlights cannot
be switched on. To activate these lights, turn

When the lights have been activated automatically
and are then switched off by the sensor, the
dipped beam headlights are switched off first,
followed by the side lights a few seconds later. If
the sensor is activated but is malfunctioning,
the side lights and dipped beam headlights are
switched on irrespective of the outside light level
and the sensor failure is indicated on the
instrument panel display. It is also possible to
deactivate the sensor and switch on the side lights
and dipped beam headlights.
IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the
presence of fog. Under these circumstances, these
lights are therefore turned on manually.

WINDOW CLEANINGThe right stalk controls windscreen wiper/washer
and heated rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
They can be operated only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
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
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protection,
which prevents operation for a few seconds,
may intervene. If operation is not restored
(even after using the key to restart the engine),
contact a Lancia Dealership.Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the
windscreen.

"Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to activate the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half a
second, with just one movement it is possible to
operate the washer jet and the wiper at the same
time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the
stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is located behind the interior rear view
mirror, in contact with the windscreen fig. 36 and
can detect the presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen in
accordance with the amount of water on the
screen.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at 2
nd
continuous
speed (fast continuous operation) with intense
rain.
Activation
The sensor is activated when the ring nut A fig. 35
is turned to
position: the windscreen wiper
stroke frequency is thus adjusted in accordance
with the amount of water on the windscreen.The activation of the sensor is signalled by a
"stroke" to show that the command has been
acquired.
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted
through the Setup menu (see paragraph "Menu
Items" in this section).
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is also
signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, after which the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic operation.

Deactivation
Move the stalk ring nut away from the position
or turn the ignition key to STOP.
If the ignition key is turned to the STOP position
leaving the ring nut A in position
, no wiping
cycle is performed at the next startup (ignition key
to the MAR position) even if rain is present. This
prevents unwanted activation of the rain sensor
when the engine is started (i.e. when the
windscreen is being washed by hand or the wipers
are stuck to the windscreen by ice).
To restore automatic operation of the rain sensor,
turn ring nut A from
position to
position
and then turn the ring nut back to the
position.
When the rain sensor is reactivated using any of
the manoeuvres described above, reactivation
is indicated by a single stroke of the windscreen
wipers, regardless of the condition of the
windscreen.If the sensitivity is changed whilst the rain sensor
is operating, a windscreen wiper stroke is carried
out to confirm the change even if the windscreen
is dry.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor
whilst it is active, the windscreen wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of
whether there is rain on the glass (on some
versions sensor failure is indicated on the display).
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible
to set the windscreen wiper to continuous mode
(1
stor 2
nd
speed). The failure indication remains
for as long as the sensor is active.
