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.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and lengthen its life,
observe the following indications:
❒when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate
and bonnet are closed properly;
❒the ceiling lights must be off. The car is however
provided with an automatic system for switching
off internal lights;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g.: sound system,
hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the electrical
system, disconnect the battery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be perfectly
tightened.IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at a charge of
less than 50% (optical indicator with dark colour
without green area in the middle) for any length of
time will be damaged by sulphation leading to a
reduction in cranking power. Moreover, this might
lead to a higher risk of the battery electrolyte
freezing (this may even occur at -10°C).
If the car is left inactive for a long period of time,
refer to “Car inactivity”, in section “Correct use of
the car”.
If after buying the car, you want to install electric
accessories which require permanent electric supply
(alarm, free-hands set, etc.) contact Lancia
Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices of the
Lineaccessori Lancia, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the car’s
electric system is capable of withstanding the load
required, or whether it should be integrated with a
more powerful battery.
