IMPORTANT It is advisable to switch the air recirculation on whilst queueing or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of polluted
air. However, it is better not to use the function for long periods, particularly if there are many people on board, to prevent the
windows from misting.
C - Air distribution knob:
towards the body and the side windows
towards the body, the side windows and the feet
towards the feet only
towards the feet and the windscreen
towards the windscreen only
D - Heated rear window activation/deactivation button. The LED on the button switches on to indicate activation.
E - Fan speed adjustment knob.
NOTE To stop the air flow from the vents turn the knob to 0.
F - Climate control system compressor on/off button. Press the button to activate the climate control system; the LED on the
button switches on (this enables rapid cooling of the passenger compartment).
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
the required comfort conditions are achieved.
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 operates if the outside temperature and engine coolant temperature are low. The heater will not activate if the
battery voltage is too low.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Controls
A - Manual air distribution selection
By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible air flow distribution patterns can be selected:
air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers to demist or defrost them.
air flow to central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.
air flow to the front seat feet area diffusers. Due to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, 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 diffusers (coolest air).
23L0F0129C
25

+distribution between footwell diffusers and windscreen/front side window vents. This type of distribution achieves
effective heating of the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from misting up.
B - Activation/deactivation of the MAX-DEF function (fast front window defrosting/demisting).
C - Climate control system compressor activation/deactivation.
D - Internal air recirculation activation/deactivation button.
E - AUTO function activation (climate control system automatic operation).
F - heated rear window on/off.
G - Fan speed adjustment knob.
H - Climate control on/off.
I/L - Adjustment of temperature inside the passenger compartment.
NOTEIn particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Stop/Start 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.
WARNING
19)It is advisable not to use the internal air recirculation function when the outside temperature is low, because the windows could mist
rapidly.
WARNING
2)The system uses R134a coolant which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Never use R12 fluid, which is
not compatible with the system components.

CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
116) 117)
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance device that allows
the desired vehicle speed to be
maintained, without having to press the
accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed
above 30 km/h on long stretches of dry,
straight roads with few variations (e.g.
motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use the device in town.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
Turn ring nut A fig. 74 to ON. Activation
is indicated by the
warning light
switching on and, on some versions, by
a message on the display.
Storing the car speed
Proceed as follows:
turn ring nut A fig. 74 to ON and
press the accelerator pedal so that the
car reaches the desired speed;73L0F0421C

SERVICING AND CARE

BATTERY
158) 159) 160) 161) 162)64)7)
The battery F in normal usage
conditions the electrolyte does not
need topping up with distilled water.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
CLIMATE CONTROL
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.
WARNING
152)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
153)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned. Remember
that the fan may start up if the engine
is hot: this could injure you. Scarves, ties
and other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.154)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
155)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot components which may set it
on fire.
156)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
157)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral­based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
158)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your skin and
eyes. The battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks:
danger of explosion and fire.
159)Using the battery with insufficient fluid
irreparably damages the battery and may
cause an explosion.
160)Always wear appropriate goggles
when working on or near the battery.161)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
162)If the car will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to prevent it
from freezing.
WARNING
59)When topping up, take care not to mix
up the various types of fluids: they are
not compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the car.
60)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX reference.
61)Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in
the engine.
62)PARAFLU
UPantifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UPfluid cannot be mixed
with any other type of fluid. If this occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your
Lancia Dealership immediately.
63)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
