SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near or actually on some
of the components of your Lancia Idea. These labels bear symbols
that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that
particular component.
The plate summarising the symbols used can be found under the
bonnet.
THE LANCIA CODE SYSTEM
To further protect you car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine
immobilising system. This system is automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition key grip. The
device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started
through a special aerial built into the ignition switch. The modulate
signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is the
“password”, by means of which the control unit recognises the key
and enables to start the engine.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started turning the ignition key to MAR, the
Lancia CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the
engine control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Lancia CODE system control unit has
recognised the code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to the STOP position, the Lancia
CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine electronic
control unit.
