IMPORTANT The manual settings
have priority over the automatic set-
tings until the user returns the system
to automatic control. The manual set-
tings will be stored when the engine is
stopped and represented at the fol-
lowing start-up.
The functions which cannot be set
manually are always automatic.
The air let into the passenger com-
partment is always controlled auto-
matically (unless the system is off) ac-
cording to the temperatures set on the
driver's and passenger's displays.
On certain versions (where pro-
vided), the system is completed by a
sensor fog fitted behind the driving
mirror and able to monitor a preset
area relevant to windscreen internal
surface and to operate the system au-
tomatically to prevent or to reduce
fogging through the following opera-
tions: air recirculation opening, com-
pressor activation, air distribution to
windscreen, fan speed sufficient for
defogging and - function ac-
MAX DEF
tivation in case of hard fogging.
To guarantee sensor fog
proper operation, license
tag, parking disc or labels
shall not be stuck on the "moni-
toring" area between sensor and
windscreen. Keep sensor and
windscreen clean, preventing any
accumulation of dust or other sub-
stances.
Active carbon dust/pollen filter
The filter has the specific capacity of
combining a mechanical air cleaning
action and an electrostatic effect so
that the air let into the passenger
compartment is purified from parti-
cles such as dust, pollen, etc.
In addition to this function, the fil-
ter efficaciously reduces the concen-
tration of pollutants thanks to a layer
of active carbon inside the filter.
The filtering action is carried out on
the air let in from outside (recircula-
tion off).
Have the filter checked at least once
a year at a Lancia Dealership, ide-
ally at the beginning of summer.
You should have the filter checked
and if required replaced more fre-
quently if the car is mainly used in
polluted or dusty areas.
The efficacy of the cli-
mate control system may
be considerably reduced if
the filter is not replaced.
