The alarm system, the
steering lock and the
deadlock device are not
actuated by the automatic lock-
ing function.
IMPORTANTPurpose of Autoclose
function is to lock doors, luggage
compartment and fuel filler flap when
owner possessing the CID device,
moves away from the car. In this case
(Autoclose function on), push on but-
ton B(fig. 18) on CID to unlock fuel
filler flap in order to refuel. – If there is a fault in the identifi-
cation system (Keyless System).
– If the CID device battery is flat.
– If the last engine start-up was
performed with the CID device in
the emergency position.
IMPORTANT
– If, after locking the locks, a door
is opened from inside the car, all the
locks will be unlocked.
– If central door opening has been
activated by pressing the CID but-
ton, the Autoclose function (auto-
matic locking) will not be activated.
To activate central locking, press the
relevant button on the CID device.
– When the Autoclose function on,
before leaving the car, make sure
you always have with yourself the
CID device.The Autoclose function can be
influenced by the presence of elec-
tromagnetic noises; in these cases
lock the doors with the remote con-
trol or use the door locks.
CENTRAL LOCKING/OPENING
OF WINDOWS AND SUNROOF
When central door locking is
switched on/off, also the central
locking/opening of the windows and
the sunroof can be controlled, pro-
vided that all the doors are properly
closed.
To actuate central locking of the
windows and the sunroof, keep the
remote control button A(fig. 25)
depressed for more than 2 seconds
after closing the doors: both the win-
dow regulators and the sunroof will
be actuated until they are fully
closed or until the button is released.

The other recognition system set-
tings that can be enabled/disabled
are:
– automatic locking of doors and
boot.
As regards the setting of the recog-
nition system customizations, refer
to the CONNECT supplement.
FAILURE INDICATION
The presence of anomalies in the
Keyless System is indicated by the
lighting of symbol Yon the instru-
ment display, together with the mes-
sage “VEHICLE PROTECTION
SYSTEM FAULT”.
IMPORTANT In case of fault, con-
tact your Lancia Dealership.
Before and during auto-
matic actuation of the
window regulators and
sunroof, always make sure that
the passengers and the persons
standing near the car are not
exposed to the risk of injures that
may be caused either by the mov-
ing windows and sunroof or by
objects dragged or hit by the
same. To actuate central opening of the
windows and sunroof, keep the
remote control button B(fig. 25)
depressed for more than 2 seconds
after opening the doors: both the win-
dow regulators and the sunroof will be
actuated until they are fully opened or
until the button is released.
This function can be used to aerate
the passenger’s compartment before
getting into the car parked in the sun.
IMPORTANT Do not lay the CID
device outside the car on the sunroof,
to avoid a fake identification of the
CID itself as if inside the car. It is rec-
ommend to carry about with you the
CID device (e.g. into a pocket). SYSTEM SETTINGS
The CONNECT enables to cus-
tomize certain functions of the
Keyless System recognition system,
through the settings that can be
selected on the CONNECT display.
The “central unlock” and “driver’s
door unlock” functions of the central
locking can be set also for the
Keyless System and operate as fol-
lows:
– central unlock: all the car doors
are unlocked simultaneously and
access is possible through every door
– driver’s door unlock: access is
possible through the driver’s door
whereas the other doors remain
locked, thus preventing un-autho-
rized persons from getting into the
car. In this case, the led on the dri-
ver’s door panel lights up (green
colour) whereas the leds on the other
doors remain off.
When “unlocking driver’s door” is
set, it is anyhow possible to unlock all
the doors, to enable access to passen-
gers, by pushing button B(fig. 18) on
CID device or, after opening the dri-
ver’s door, by pushing the central
unlock button existing on the door
panel.

Pressing briefly the button the win-
dow “jerks”, whereas a prolonged
pressing makes the window opening
or closing in “automatic and continu-
ous” mode. When pressing again the
button the window stops in the
required position.
Rear controls
On the rear doors panel mask there
is button A (fig. 67), for opening/
closing the corresponding window.
Pressing briefly the button the win-
dow “jerks”, whereas a prolonged
pressing makes the window opening
or closing in “automatic and contin-
uous” mode. When pressing again
the button the window stops in the
required position.MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC
OPERATION
Front and rear window winders
can be operated both automatically
(opening and closing) and manually.
Long or short pulse determines the
type of operation.
Pull up or press the control button
to activate automatic closing or
opening: the window will stop when
it reaches the end of its travel (or
when the button is pressed again).
A short pulse results in a short win-
dow movement that stops when
releasing the button.CENTRALISED WINDOW AND
SUNROOF OPENING/CLOSING
SYSTEM
Centralised window and sunroof
opening/closing is activated in the
following conditions:
– ignition key removed;
– doors perfectly closed.
To activate centralised window and
sunroof closing, keep the remote
control button B(fig. 68) pressed
for over 2 seconds after closing the
doors: window and sunroof will
move until complete closing or until
releasing the button.

SEAT BELTS
HOW TO USE
THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the seat back.
Instrument panel warning light
<
will come on if the ignition key is
turned to MARand the driver’s seat
belt is not fastened.
To fasten the seat belt, take the
fastening tongue A (fig. 69) and
push it into buckle B, until you hear
it click.Pull the seat belt gently. If it jams,
let it rewind a little and pull it out
again without jerking.
To release the seat belts, press but-
ton C. Guide the seat belt with your
hand while is rewinding to prevent it
from twisting.
Through the reel, the belt auto-
matically adapts to the body of the
passenger wearing it, allowing free-
dom of movement.Never press button C
(fig. 69) while travelling.

L0A003b
To activate centralised window and
sunroof opening, keep button A(fig.
68) pressed for over 2 seconds after
opening the doors: window and sun-
roof will move until complete open-
ing or until releasing the button.
This function can be used to aerate
the passenger’s compartment before
getting into the car parked in the
sun.

In the event of side collisions at low
speed, the restraining action of the
seat belts is sufficient and the airbag
is not inflated. Also in this case it is
of vital importance to wear the seat
belts since in case of side crash they
guarantee proper positioning of the
passenger and prevent the occupants
to be pitched out of the car in case of
violent crashes.
The front and rear side bag is not a
replacement for the use of seat belts
but rather a complement. We rec-
ommend that seat belts are worn at
all times as prescribed by legislation
in Europe and most other countries
world-wide.

SIDE AIRBAGS
(SIDE BAG - WINDOW BAG)
Purpose of the side airbags is to
increase passenger protection in the
event of a side impact of medium to
high severity.
Side airbags consist of two types of
instantly inflatable bags:
– the side bags housed in the front
seat bags C (fig. 88) and (where
provided) in the side stuffing of the
rear seats E (fig. 90). This solution
ensures that the bag is always in an
optimal position with respect to the
passenger, regardless of the seat
position;– the window bags, which are “cur-
tain” cushions located behind the
side coverings of the roof and cov-
ered by proper finishings such to
allow the cushion unfolding down-
wards; this solution, studied for the
head protection, allows offering the
best protection to the front and rear
passengers in the event of side crash,
thanks to the wide cushion inflation
surface.
In In the event of a side collision
the electronic control unit processes
the signals coming from a decelera-
tion sensor and, if required, fire the
bags.
The bags inflate instantly and act
as a soft protective barrier between
the body of the passengers and the
car door. Bags deflate immediately
afterwards.

GENERAL NOTES
Do not apply stickers or
other objects to the steer-
ing wheel, to the passen-
ger's airbag cover or to the roof
side cover. Do not place objects
(like mobile phones) on the dash-
board on passenger side since
they could interfere with proper
passenger's airbag deployment
and cause severe injuries.
If the ¬warning light
does not turn on when
turning the ignition key to
MAR or if it stays on when travel-
ling (together with message on dis-
play), this could indicate a failure
in safety retaining systems; under
this condition air bags or preten-
sioners could not trigger in the
event of collision or, in a restricted
number of cases, they could trig-
ger accidentally. Stop the car and
contact Lancia Dealership to have
the system checked immediately.
Do not cover the back
rest of front and rear seats
with trims or covers there
are not set for the use of side bags.
Do not travel with
objects on your lap or in
front of you nor with a
pipe, pencil or similar between
your lips. You could seriously
hurt yourself if the airbag inflates
in a collision.
Always drive with both
hands on the rim of the
steering wheel so that the
airbag is free to inflate during a
head-on collision and protect you
from serious injury. Do not drive
with your body bending towards
the steering wheel, but sit in an
upright position with your back
resting against the seat.If an attempt has been
made to steal the car, or if
it has actually been stolen
or has been vandalised in anyway
or subjected to flooding, have the
airbag system checked over at a
Lancia Dealership.
It is important to
remember that the airbag
can be fired even when
the car is stationary if it is hit by
another vehicle travelling at suit-
able speed. As a consequence,
never sit children in the front
seat, even if the car is not moving.
On the contrary, the airbags will
not be fired if the car is crashed
into when the key is not inserted
or turned. Consequently, in this
case, the fact that the system is
not fired does not indicate a fault.

AIR VENTS
The car is fitted with three air
vents set on the dashboard: two
vents A(fig. 118) on driver side and
one B (fig. 119) on passenger side,
sending air in the passenger com-
partment in a “diffused” mode.
This particular function conveys air
at low speed, about half of the usual
flow, through additional vents.
Moreover, it reduces the air impact
on the passengers and the noise due
to the air coming out of the vents,
thus improving the passengers' com-
fort.IMPORTANTWhen the outside
temperature is very high (over 30°C),
to reach the selected temperature as
soon as possible, it is suggested to op-
erate air vents only after the system
has reached steady working condi-
tions.
IMPORTANTOn versions equipped
with solar cell operated sunroof
(where provided), to check operation
at first speed of climate control sys-
tem fan when the car is parked, dis-
engage air vents and set air distribu-
tion from central dashboard vents
only before leaving the car.

Air vents (open) are actually used
only when the control for directing
air flow on the instrument panel is
operated.
Air vents are opened by rotating
the dashboard central vent knobs
beyond the upper stop limit (fig.
120):
– control Afor air vents on driver
side
– control Bfor air vent on passen-
ger side.
At the stop limit of these controls
there is a button which, if pressed,
sends a signal to the climate system
control unit.

147
IMPORTANTDuring air distribu-
tion automatic management, all the
air distribution button leds are off.
User can select manually any distri-
bution, and only in this case, the
concerned button led will be lit.
The manual settings have priority
over the automatic settings until the
user returns the system to automatic
control.
Manual setting of a function does
not compromise automatic control
of the other functions.
The amount of air let into the pas-
senger compartment does not
depend on the car speed. It is in fact
adjusted by an electronically con-
trolled fan.
The temperature of the air let into
the passenger compartment is
always controlled automatically
(unless the system is off), according
to the temperatures set on the dri-
ver’s and front/rear passenger’s dis-
plays.The following parameters and
functions can be adjusted manually:
– air temperature on driver/pas-
senger side (front/rear);
– fan speed (continuous variation);
– air distribution in seven positions
(driver/passengers);
– diffused air distribution;
– compressor activation;
– priority of one-zone/two-zone
distribution (front/back);
– rapid defrosting/demisting func-
tion;
– air recirculation;
– automatic/manual system con-
trol;
– heated rear window;
– system off;
– activation of back control panel.
The defrosting/demisting function
includes a set of operations enabling
to defrost/demist rapidly both the
windscreen and the heated rear win-
dow.At each turning off, the system
after storing control and function
conditions, sets up the open recircu-
lation, thus creating the necessary
conditions for operation at first
speed of climate control system fan
at parking, fed by solar cell operated
sunroof (where provided).
IMPORTANTBest operation of
climate control system fan at park-
ing, fed by solar cell operated sun-
roof (where provided), is obtained
by closing completely the windows
and sunroof. Furthermore, to check
operation at first speed of climate
control system fan when the car is
parked, disengage air vents and set
air distribution from central dash-
board vents only before leaving the
car.
When turning on, the system
restores the conditions memorized
before turning off, except for the
rapid defrosting/demisting function
which is reset.
