55
To unlock, turn the key clockwise
1; to lock, turn the key counter-
clockwise 2.
When the doors are released by
means of the remote control, the
alarm system and the deadlock
device (described below) are also
switched off.
IMPORTANTThe electronic
alarm will not be switched off if the
door is unlocked by the key in the
lock.
Inside each handle there is a button
A(fig. 31 front doors -fig. 32 rear
doors) which actuates, when the
handle is caught, the servo control
used to open the door.The car is fitted with power locks
that control the mechanical parts at
door opening.

In an emergency (flat battery or
electric system failure), doors can be
opened, with the locks released, by
pressing button B(fig. 31 front
doors -fig. 32 rear doors).
All door panels incorporate a
red/green led A(fig. 33 front doors -
fig. 34 rear doors) , indicating the
locking/unlocking condition. The
leds come on with red light for about
3 seconds after door locking and
with green light after unlocking.
IMPORTANTDoor leds stay on
for about 3 seconds only; therefore,
leds are off under normal conditions.

Deadlock device
The deadlock device enables to dis-
connect mechanically the internal
door handles; in this case, doors can-
not be opened from the inside by
acting on the handles after breaking
the glass (improving protection
against theft).
The device can be switched on by
pressing the remote control button B
(fig. 29) again within 1 second after
closing the doors: active function
will be indicated by a beep and 2
further blinks of the direction indi-
cators.
The device activates only if all the
doors are properly closed.
When the deadlock device is
switched on, the door panel leds will
flash twice with red light.
After activating the dead
lock device it will be
impossible to get out of
the passenger compartment: for
this reason this device must be
activated only after making sure
that the passenger compartment
is empty.The front door leds are also used as
deterrent leds for the alarm system;
as a consequence, they will flash
when the alarm system is on or the
doors are locked.
The CONNECT enables to set the
central locking of all the doors or
only the driver’s door.
In the former case, all the car doors
are unlocked simultaneously and
access is possible through any door.
In the second case, access is possible
only through the driver’s door,
whereas the other doors are locked,
thus preventing un-authorized per-
sons from getting into the car.In this case, the driver’s door led
comes on with green light, whereas
the leds on the other doors will
remain off.
When only the driver’s door is
unlocked, after opening the driver’s
door, also the other doors can be
unlocked by pressing the central
unlocking button B(fig. 35) so as to
enable passengers getting into the
car.
IMPORTANTButtons Band C
(fig. 35) are disabled when the doors
are locked from the outside.
If, when the doors are closed from
the outside, one or more doors
and/or the boot are not closed cor-
rectly, the direction indicators will
flash rapidly for a few seconds.

OPENING/CLOSING FROM
THE INSIDE
To open the door even when the
lock is locked, pull handle A(fig. 35
front doors -fig. 36 rear doors) set in
the upper part of the panel.
Next to each door handle are two
buttons that actuate lock
locking/unlocking:
– B button for unlocking;
– Cbutton for locking.
The red/green leds A(fig. 33 front
doors –fig. 34 rear doors) indicate
the locking/unlocking condition.
The leds come on with red light for
about 3 seconds after door locking
and with green light after unlocking.
By pulling the internal handle of
the driver’s door, all the doors or
only the driver’s door will be simul-
taneously unlocked, depending on
the setting selected on the CON-
NECT. By pulling the internal han-
dle of any other door, all the doors
are simultaneously unlocked.

With the dead lock
device on, pressing the
external handle button of
one of the doors while unlocking
the doors by the remote control
could cause the disconnection of
the internal handle of the
involved door thus making
impossible to open that door
from the inside. To restore regu-
lar operation, just press the
remote control central door
unlocking button or button B (fig.
36) on the door panel.A led is located near each door
handle to make it easy to find the
handle in the dark. The leds light up
for about 2 minutes after turning the
ignition key to STOPor until a door
is opened.
Door open indication
The driver is informed that one or
several doors are not closed correct-
ly by the lighting of the correspond-
ing symbols on the instrument dis-
play, together with the messages
“DOOR OPEN” or “DOORS
OPEN”.

transporting children. This
will prevent them opening
a door by themselves when travel-
ling.
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING

AUTOCLOSE FUNCTION
(AUTOMATIC LOCKING
WITH KEYLESS SYSTEM
RECOGNITION SYSTEM)
On versions equipped with Keyless
System, the “Autoclose” function
can be actuated/deactivated through
the CONNECT settings. This func-
tion makes it possible to automati-
cally lock the boot and doors when
the CID device is taken away from
the car.
When leaving the car, if one or
more doors are not closed correctly,
the car will remain open and a fur-
ther beep will sound to indicate that
the locks have not been locked.
The “Autoclose” functions actuates
neither the alarm system nor the
door deadlock device (refer to the
contents of the relevant paragraph).
In any case, these functions can be
actuated by means of the remote
control.LOCK RELEASE IN CASE OF
ACCIDENT
In case of collision with actuation
of the inertia switch, the door locks
are automatically released to allows
rescuers to get access to the passen-
ger compartment.In any case, door open-
ing from the outside
depends on the door con-
ditions after the collision:
deformed doors cannot very often
be opened even if the lock is
released. In such a case, try to
open the other doors.
INITIALISING THE DOOR
LOCKING CONTROL UNIT
Whenever the battery is electrically
connected again or it is reloaded
after being completely flat or after
replacing one of the protection fuses,
to restore the correct operation of
the door locking, of air conditioning
and of ESP system, it is necessary to
perform the initialisation operations
contained in the paragraph “If bat-
tery is to be disconnected” in the
chapter “In an emergency”. The external mechanical
connections are active
only when the doors are
unlocked.
In the event that the driver has
actuated central locking from the
inside and, after a collision, the
inertia switch has not actuated
the automatic door unlocking
function due to the loss of or
damage to the battery, access to
the passenger compartment will
not be possible from the outside.

MANUALLY ADJUSTABLE SEATS
(Moving the seats backwards or
forwards) (fig. 39)
Lift lever Aand push the seat for-
wards or backwards: you are in the cor-
rect position for driving when your
hands are resting on the steering wheel
rim and your arms are slightly bent. FRONT SEATS
Only adjust the driver’s
seat when the car is sta-
tionary.
Once you have lever
released the lever, check
that the seat is firmly
locked in the runners by trying to
move it back and forth. Failure to
lock the seat in place could result
in the seat moving suddenly and
dangerously.ELECTRICALLY ADJUSTABLE
SEATS
Electric adjustment of seats is pos-
sible under one of the following con-
ditions:
– ignition switch to MAR
– for approx. 1 minute after
removing the ignition key or turning
it to STOP
– for approx. 3 minutes with key
removed or turned to STOPand
with door open.
The seat adjustment controls are:

Upholstery of your car
has been designed to with-
stand wear deriving from
common use of the car. You are
however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous scratch-
ing with clothing accessories such
as metallic buckles, studs, Velcro
fastenings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress
of the cover fabric that could lead
to yarn breaking, and damage the
cover as a consequence.

78
The pretensioner does not require
any maintenance or greasing.
Anything that modifies its original
conditions invalidates its efficiency.
If due to unusual natural events
(floods, sea storm, etc.) the device
has been affected by water and mud,
it must necessarily be replaced.
The pretensioner can
only be used once. After a
collision that has trig-
gered it, have it replaced at a
Lancia Dealership Pretensioner
validity is written on the plate
located on the front left door post
near door hinges. The preten-
sioners should be replaced at a
Lancia Dealership as this date
approaches.After adjustment, always
check that the device is
anchored in one of the
positions provided. To do this,
with the grip released, exert a
further pressure to allow the
anchor device to catch if release
did not take place at one of the
preset positions. PRETENSIONERS
Your car is fitted with pretension-
ers on the front and rear side seats to
improve protection.
These devices “feel”, through a
sensor, that a violent crash is in
progress and rewind the seat belts a
few centimetres. In this way they
ensure that the seat belt adheres per-
fectly to the wearer before the
restraining action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that
the device has intervened; the seat
belt cannot be drawn back up even
when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANTTo obtain the high-
est degree of protection from the
action of the pretensioning device,
wear the seat belt keeping it firmly
close to the chest and pelvis.
Front seat pretensioners activate
only if front seat belts are properly
fitted into buckles.
A small amount of smoke may be
produced. This smoke is in no way
toxic and presents no fire hazard.
