REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL
KEYS WITH REMOTE
CONTROL
The receiver will acknowledge up
to eight keys with remote control. If
you ever need a new key with remote
control, go directly to a Lancia
Dealership, taking with you the
CODE card, personal identification
and the car ownership papers.ELECTRONIC
ALARM
The system consists of:
– radio-frequency transmitter
(built into the ignition key);
– radio-frequency receiver;
– electronic control unit with built-
in siren (the siren can be deactivat-
ed);
– volumetric sensors (which can be
deactivated);
– anti-lifting sensor (which can be
deactivated).
The electronic alarm is controlled
by the receiver and is switched
on/off by means of the remote con-
trol built into the key, which sends
the secret and variable code. The electronic alarm monitors:
– the illicit opening of doors, bon-
net and boot (perimetral protec-
tion);
– ignition switch operation;
– cutting of battery cables;
– moving bodies inside the passen-
ger compartment (volumetric pro-
tection)
– any abnormal raising/sloping of
the car.
IMPORTANTThe engine immo-
bilising system is governed by the
Lancia CODE system and is auto-
matically activated when the igni-
tion key is removed.

SWITCHING THE ALARM ON
With the doors and boot closed and
the key removed from the ignition
switch, point the key with the
remote control in the direction of the
car, then press and release the but-
tonB(fig. 14).
With the exception of certain mar-
kets, a beep will be heard, the direc-
tion indicators will light up for about
1 second and the doors will be
locked.
The alarm activation is preceded
by a self-test: if a fault is found, the
system sounds another warning beep
and when the key is turned to MAR,
the symbol Ywill appear on the
instrument panel display, together
with the message “ALARM
FAULT”.
IMPORTANTWhen operating the
central door locking with the metal
insert of the key, the alarm is not
activated.Surveillance
After activating the alarm, the red
deterrent leds A(fig. 15) on the
front door panels will flash to indi-
cate that the surveillance function is
on. The leds will stay on flashing
until the alarm system surveillance
function is on.
IMPORTANTThe electronic
alarm operation is adapted to the
rules in force in the various coun-
tries.Self-test
and door/bonnet/boot control
functions
If, after switching the alarm system
on, a second beep is heard, switch
the system off by pressing button A
(fig. 14), and check that the doors,
bonnet and boot are correctly closed.
Then switch the system on again by
pressing button B.
Otherwise the system will cut out
the door bonnet and boot from the
surveillance if they are not properly
closed.
If the doors, the bonnet and the
boot are properly closed and a sec-
ond beep is heard again, it means
that the system self-test function has
found a fault. Contact a Lancia
Dealership.

SWITCHING THE ALARM OFF
To switch the alarm off, press the
key button A(fig. 14).
The following actions will be car-
ried out by the system (with the
exception of certain markets):
– the direction indicators will flash
twice;
– two beeps will be heard;
– driver’s door or doors unlocking,
depending on the setting selected on
the CONNECT menu.
IMPORTANTWhen operating the
central door unlocking with the
metal insert of the key, the alarm is
not deactivated.VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION
Do not leave passengers or pets in
the parked car and completely close
the windows and the sunroof to
ensure the correct operation of the
volumetric sensors. Furthermore,
make sure that the doors, bonnet
and boot/tailgate are properly
closed.
To deactivate the volumetric
protection, press button A(fig. 16)
on the front ceiling light: when the
function is off, the button warning
light will flash for about 3 seconds
and then goes out.
Protection cut out stays on until
activating the central door opening
again.
IMPORTANTVolumetric protec-
tion shall be deactivated after about
1 minute from turning the key to
STOP. To deactivate the volumetric
protection after this period, turn the
key to MARand then to STOP
again.ANTI-LIFTING SENSOR
The anti-lifting sensor detects vari-
ations in slant to signal lifting or
partial lifting (e.g. to remove a
wheel) of the car.
The sensor can detect minimal
variations in cat trim along both the
longitudinal axis and the transversal
axis. Variations in trim lower than
0.5°/min. (such as, for example, a
slow deflating tyre) are not take into
account.
To switch the anti-lifting protec-
tion off, press button B(fig. 16) on
the front ceiling light: when the
function is off, the button warning
light will flash for about 3 seconds
and then goes out.To ensure correct opera-
tion of the volumetric pro-
tection system, before acti-
vating the alarm, check that win-
dows and sunroof (where pro-
vided) are perfectly closed.

42
IMPORTANTThe anti-lifting sen-
sor shall be deactivated after about 1
minute from turning the key to
STOP. To deactivate the anti-lifting
sensor after this period, turn the key
toMARand then to STOPagain.
Sensor cut out stays on until acti-
vating the central door opening
again.
WHAT TRIGGERS THE ALARM
OFF
The alarm will be triggered off in
the following conditions:
– if a door, the bonnet or the
boot/tailgate is opened;
– if the battery or electric cables
are disconnected or cut;
– if there is an intrusion in the pas-
senger compartment, e.g. a broken
window (volumetric protection);
– if an attempt is made to start the
engine (key at MAR);
– if an attempt has been made to
lift the car.According to the markets, the
alarm can operate the siren and the
direction indicators (for about 25
seconds). The intervention modality
and the number of cycles can vary
according to the markets.
A maximum number of acoustic/
visual cycles is foreseen in all cases.
After the alarm cycle, the system
returns to its normal surveillance
function.
INDICATIONS OF ATTEMPTS
TO BREAK IN
The alarm system indicates the
attempts to break in stored by the
control unit, through the lighting up
on the instrument panel display of
symbolYtogether with the mes-
sage “BREAK IN ATTEMPT”.
DEACTIVATING THE ALARM
To completely deactivate the elec-
tronic alarm (for example, if the car
is to be stored for a long period of
time), simply lock the car turning
the key in the lock.FUNCTIONS THAT CAN BE
DEACTIVATED
OR MODIFIED
The functions that can be directly
deactivated:
– volumetric protection, which can
be disconnected by means of button
A(fig. 16) set on the front ceiling
light: when the function is off, the
button warning light flashes for
about 3 seconds and then goes out;
– anti-lifting protection, which can
be disconnected by means of button
B(fig. 16) set on the front ceiling
light: when the function is off, the
button warning light flashes for
about 3 seconds and then goes out.

43
The functions that can be modified
through the CONNECT system
menu are:
– boot lock release by actuating
central door opening (*);
– central door and tailgate locking
when the car speed exceeds 20
km/h, without actuation of the
deadlock device.
(*) When this function is discon-
nected to lock the boot lock when
the boot is closed, even if the doors
were closed, the remote control or
the key must be used, as it is nor-
mally the case with the doors; thus,
the boot can be opened with the
handle in the event that the key is
left inside the lock.MINISTERIAL HOMOLOGATION
In the respect of the legislation in
force in each country in the matter
of radio-frequency devices, please
note that the homologation number
is printed on the component for
markets where this is required.
IMPORTANTThe code marking
may also be printed on the transmit-
ter and/or the receiver for ver-
sions/markets where this is required.EASY ENTRY/EXIT
SYSTEM
Versions provided with electric
steering wheel adjustment may also
incorporate the Easy Entry/Exit sys-
tem, which allows the driver to get
into and out of the car with
improved ease.
In the cars provided with this sys-
tem, the steering wheel lifts and the
seat goes back before the driver gets
out of the car.
The function is actuated when the
door is opened but only if the igni-
tion key is at STOPor has been
removed.
When the driver opens the door to
get into the car, both the seat and
the steering wheel have already gone
back. The seat and the steering
wheel will return to their normal dri-
ving position after the driver has sat,
closed the door and turned the key
toMAR.

RECOGNITION
SYSTEM(KEYLESS
SYSTEM)
(where provided)
The Keyless System is a recognition
system controlled by device A
(fig. 17), called CID (Customer
Identification Device), which per-
forms the same functions as the key
provided with the remote control
supplied with the car. It does not
require any manual action since it
identifies the person that holds the
device as the owner of the car.
Therefore, it is enough for the dri-
ver to bring the CID device withhimself so that the car can recognize
him, allowing him to get into the car
and start the engine without having
to use the key.
In any case, the CID device is
equipped with three buttons per-
forming the same functions as the
ordinary radio-frequency remote
control that enable the driver to
remotely operate on the car.
Moreover, it includes the key for the
mechanical emergency actuation of
the boot and door locks (in case the
CID device battery or the car battery
are run down).
The buttons perform the following
functions (fig. 18):
– button Bfor remote actuation of
central door opening and the simul-taneous switching off of the elec-
tronic alarm
– button Cfor remote actuation of
central door locking, boot locking
and the simultaneous switching on
of the electronic alarm
– button Dfor remote tailgate
opening
– led E(where required) to indi-
cate code sending to the electronic
alarm system receiver.
To remove emergency keyF
(fig. 19), take off cover G(fig. 20)
by levering at point H.

45
The emergency key actuates:
– the front door locks
– the boot lock
– the passenger’s airbag deactiva-
tion switch
– the rear side bag deactivation
switch.The CID device check is carried out
when the button inside the door
handle or on the boot is pressed: if
the Keyless System recognizes the
CID device, it disconnects the alarm
system and actuates the boot or door
opening mechanism.
Identification occurs only if the
CID owner is standing about 1 metre
far from the door that has to be
opened or from the boot.
IMPORTANTThe CID device
operation depends on several fac-
tors, such as the possible interfer-
ence with electromagnetic waves
emitted by external sources, the bat-
tery charge and the presence of
metal objects near the CID device
and the car. In any case, operations
can be carried out by means of the
emergency key included in the CID
device.To switch off the front passenger’s
airbag and the rear side bags, use
the emergency key included in the
CID device.
The CID owner must take the fol-
lowing precautions to be able to
have all the system functions avail-
able:
– For unlocking doors or boot, the
CID device must be outside the car
at a maximum distance of approx.
one meter from the handle involved.
– To actuate the ignition switch
functions, the CID device must be
inside the car.
– If the CID device is taken away
from the car (e.g. it is kept inside a
bag or in a pocket) the doors cannot
be locked and the car started any
more.
– If central locking has been acti-
vated from inside the car by pressing
the button on the driver’s door
panel, it will only be possible to get
into the car by pressing the button
on the CID device.
