THE LANCIA CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking system which increases
protection against an attempted theft of the car. It is auto-
matically activated when the ignition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during ignition by an antenna built in-
to the ignition device. This signal is the ‘password’ which
changes at each ignition and which the control unit uses
to recognise the key and allow ignition.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning the ignition key
to MAR, the Lancia CODE system control unit sends an
acknowledgement code to the engine control unit to de-
activate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the control unit of the Lancia
CODE system has acknowledged the code received from
the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Lancia
CODE system deactivates the functions of the electronic
engine control unit.
If the code is not recognised correctly during ignition, the
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) comes on.In this case turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if
the lock persists try again with the spare set of keys. Con-
tact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the en-
gine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be
stored by the system control unit. To have new keys mem-
orised (up to a maximum number of eight keys), contact
a Lancia Dealership and be ready to present all the keys
you have at present, the CODE card, a personal identity
document and the car ownership documents. The codes
of any keys not presented during the memorising proce-
dure will be deleted. This is to prevent lost or stolen keys
from starting the engine.
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) lit up
during driving
If the Ywarning light (or symbol in the display)
comes on, this means that the system is running a self-
diagnosis test (caused, for example, by a voltage drop).
If the Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) remains
on, contact a Lancia dealership.
The electronic components inside the key may
be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp
knocks.

42GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
IMPORTANT The engine inhibitor function is guaranteed
by the Lancia CODE, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is extracted from the starter de-
vice.
SWITCHING ON THE ALARM
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with the
remote control towards the vehicle and press and release
button
Á.
Excluding some versions for specific markets, the system
produces an acoustic warning (beep) and enables door
locking.
Before the alarm is enabled, a self-diagnosis test is run:
if a fault is detected, the system emits another sound warn-
ing and a message is shown on the display, (see “Instru-
ment panel warning lights”).
In this case switch off the alarm by pressing
Ë, check that
all the doors, bonnet and tailgate are closed correctly; then
switch the alarm back on by pressing
Á.
If a door or the bonnet is not correctly closed, it will be ex-
cluded from the testing by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the
doors, bonnet and tailgate are correctly closed, a failure
has occurred in system operation. Contact a Lancia Deal-
ership.IMPORTANT Centrally locking the doors using the met-
al insert on the key does not activate the alarm.
IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is configured in com-
pliance with the regulations existing in the different coun-
tries.
SWITCHING OFF THE ALARM
Press button
Ëon the key with the remote control.
The following operations are performed (excluding some
versions for specific markets):
the direction indicators flash twice;
two brief acoustic signals are emitted (“BEEP”);
the doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is re-
leased using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not
disabled.

VOLUME SENSING/ANTI-TILT PROTECTION
To guarantee the correct operation of the protection, close
the side windows and sunroof completely (where provid-
ed).
If necessary this function can be excluded (e.g. when leav-
ing pets on board) by pressing button A-fig. 14, located
on the front courtesy light, before activating the alarm.
When the function is disabled, this is indicated by the LED
on the button flashing for several seconds. Any disabling
of the volume sensing/anti-tilt protection must be repeat-
ed each time the instrument panel is switched off.
BREAK IN ATTEMPT INDICATION
Any break in attempt is indicated by the
Ywarning light
(or symbol in the display) lighting up, together with a mes-
sage shown on the display (see “Instrument panel warn-
ing lights”).DISABLING THE ALARM
To permanently disable the alarm (e.g. during a lengthy
period of idleness), simply lock the vehicle by turning the
metal insert of the key with remote control in the lock.
IMPORTANT If the battery of the key with the remote
control goes flat or the system fails, the alarm can be
switched off by placing the key in the ignition switch and
turning it to MAR.
