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-

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.

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. 

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.

The efficacy of the cli-

mate control system may

be considerably reduced if

the filter is not replaced.
