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.

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 15:
STOP: the engine is off, the key can be extracted, the
steering is locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. car ra-
dio, central door locking system, etc.) are enabled
MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are en-
abled
AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety sys-
tem that requires the ignition key to be turned back to
STOP if the engine will not start, before the starting op-
eration can be repeated.STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the
steering wheel until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly as you turn the ignition
key to MAR.
IMPORTANT In some parking conditions (e.g.: wheels
turned) the effort required to move the steering wheel and
disengage the steering lock may be increased.
fig. 15L0E0107m
Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel would lock as
soon as the steering wheel is turned. This al-
so applies to when the car is towed. Under no cir-
cumstances should after-market operations be car-
ried out involving steering system or steering col-
umn modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device). This could negatively affect performance
and safety, invalidate the warranty and also re-
sult in vehicle non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.

Environmental lights are provided as part of the cour-
tesy light; these illuminate the vehicle when the dipped
beam headlights or side lights are switched on.
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make sure that
both switches are in the central position: lights off with
doors closed in order to avoid draining the battery. In any
case, if the switch is left inadvertently in the On position,
the lights will turn off automatically 15 minutes after turn-
ing the engine off.
Courtesy light timing
To facilitate getting in/out of the car at night or with poor
lighting, 2 different timed switching on modes have been
provided.
Light timing when getting into the car
The courtesy lights will turn on as follows:
for about 10 seconds when the front doors are un-
locked;
for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
for about 10 seconds when the doors are closed.
Timing is interrupted when the ignition key is turned to
MAR.Light timing when getting out of the car
After removing the key from the ignition switch, the cour-
tesy lights will turn on as follows:
within 2 minutes of turning the engine off, for about
10 seconds;
for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
for about 10 seconds when one of the doors is closed.
in the event of the fuel cut-off system cutting in, the
lights remain on for approximately 15 minutes, after
which they go out automatically.
The lights go out immediately when the doors are locked
(unless the fuel cut-off system has cut in.).

FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This system intervenes in the event of a collision, acti-
vating:
cut off of fuel supply with resultant engine shut down;
automatic door lock release;
activation of all lights inside the car.
When the system has been triggered, the message “Fuel
cut off, see handbook” is displayed.
Carefully check the car for fuel leaks, for instance in the
engine compartment, under the car or near the tank area.
Following a collision, turn the ignition key to STOP to
avoid draining the battery.To reset car operation, follow this procedure:
turn the ignition key to MAR;
activate the right-hand indicator;
deactivate the right-hand indicator;
activate the left-hand indicator;
deactivate the left-hand indicator;
activate the right-hand indicator;
deactivate the right-hand indicator;
activate the left-hand indicator;
deactivate the left-hand indicator;
turn the ignition key to STOP.
If, after a crash, you smell fuel or notice leaks
from the fuel system, do not reset the system
to avoid fire risk.
