THE LANCIA CODE
SYSTEM
To further protect your car from
theft, it has been fitted with an
engine immobilising system (Lancia
CODE) which is automatically acti-
vated 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 modu-
lated signal is a password. Only if
the control unit recognises the key
can the engine be started.OPERATION
Each time the ignition key is
turned to STOPthe Lancia CODE
system will deactivate the engine
electronic control unit functions.
When the key is turned to MARto
start the engine, the Lancia CODE
system sends a password code to the
engine control unit to deactivate the
function lock. The encoded and
variable code, randomly selected
from over four billion possible com-
binations, is only sent if, in turn, the
system has recognised the code
transmitted by the electronic device
built into the ignition key via an aer-
ial surrounding the ignition switch.
If the code has not been recognised
correctly, the symbol Ywill appear
on the instrument panel display,
together with the message “VEHI-
CLE PROTECTION SYSTEM
FAULT”.In this case, turn the key to STOP
and then back to MAR. If the engine
remains immobilised, try with the
other keys provided with the car. If
you are still unable to start the
engine, carry out the emergency pro-
cedure described in chapter “In an
emergency”, and contact your
Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANTEach key has its
own code that must be stored in the
system control unit. For storing new
keys, up to a maximum of eight,
apply solely to Lancia Dealership
taking with you all the keys in your
possession, the CODE card, a per-
sonal identity document and the
documents that certify car posses-
sion.

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 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

IMPORTANTIf the car battery is
run down, the steering column can-
not be unlocked and the car cannot
be started. In this case, an auxiliary
battery must be connected, in order
to unlock the steering column and
start the engine (see paragraph
“Jump starting”); then, contact a
Lancia Dealershipto have the bat-
tery recharged.DOOR UNLOCKING
TO ACCESS CAR
To perform door unlocking, push on
buttonA(fig. 23front doors -
fig. 24rear doors) in the inside part
of handles. The Keyless System iden-
tifies the CID device, deactivates the

AUTOCLOSE FUNCTION
(AUTOMATIC LOCKING
WITH KEYLESS SYSTEM
RECOGNITION SYSTEM)
On versions equipped with Keyless
System, the “Autoclose” function
can be actuated/deactivated through
the CONNECT settings. This func-
tion makes it possible to automati-
cally lock the boot and doors when
the CID device is taken away from
the car.
When leaving the car, if one or
more doors are not closed correctly,
the car will remain open and a fur-
ther beep will sound to indicate that
the locks have not been locked.
The “Autoclose” functions actuates
neither the alarm system nor the
door deadlock device (refer to the
contents of the relevant paragraph).
In any case, these functions can be
actuated by means of the remote
control.LOCK RELEASE IN CASE OF
ACCIDENT
In case of collision with actuation
of the inertia switch, the door locks
are automatically released to allows
rescuers to get access to the passen-
ger compartment.In any case, door open-
ing from the outside
depends on the door con-
ditions after the collision:
deformed doors cannot very often
be opened even if the lock is
released. In such a case, try to
open the other doors.
INITIALISING THE DOOR
LOCKING CONTROL UNIT
Whenever the battery is electrically
connected again or it is reloaded
after being completely flat or after
replacing one of the protection fuses,
to restore the correct operation of
the door locking, of air conditioning
and of ESP system, it is necessary to
perform the initialisation operations
contained in the paragraph “If bat-
tery is to be disconnected” in the
chapter “In an emergency”. The external mechanical
connections are active
only when the doors are
unlocked.
In the event that the driver has
actuated central locking from the
inside and, after a collision, the
inertia switch has not actuated
the automatic door unlocking
function due to the loss of or
damage to the battery, access to
the passenger compartment will
not be possible from the outside.

SEVERE DANGER:
The car is
equipped with
front passenger’s airbag, do not
place the child restraint seat on
the front seat. The inflation of the
airbag could cause even fatal
injury. If required, always deacti-
vate the passenger’s front airbag
when a child seat is placed on the
front seat. The passenger’s seat
shall be set as backwards as pos-
sible to prevent accidental con-
tacts between the child restraint
system and the dashboard.
Although it may not be pre-
scribed by law, we recommend
reactivating the airbag as soon as
it is no longer necessary to carry
children to provide better protec-
tion to adult passengers.
AIRBAGPASSENGER’S FRONT AIRBAG
The passenger’s airbag was
designed and calibrated to protect a
person wearing seat belts.
When fully inflated the bag will fill
most of the space between the dash-
board and the passenger.MANUALLY DEACTIVATING
THE PASSENGER’S FRONT
AIRBAG
The passenger’s front airbag can be
deactivated if it is absolutely neces-
sary to carry a child in the front pas-
senger seat.
Deactivation/reactivation takes
place with ignition key at STOPand
operating it in the special key switch
A(fig. 91) on the dashboard on the
passenger side.
You can reach the switch only if
the door is opened.
