TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trip computer is used to display information on car
operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function
is composed by separate trips, called “Trip A” and “Trip
B” which can monitor the entire mission (journey) in
a reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset means start of a new
journey). “Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time)
– Trip A Reset
“Trip B” may be used to display the figures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time)
– Trip B Reset
N.B. “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot
be reset.Values displayed
Range
This indicates the approximate distance which can be
travelled with the present amount of fuel in the tank. The
display will show the reading ‘----’ when the following
events take place:
– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car parked with engine running for long period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several fac-
tors: driving style (see “Driving style” in the “Starting
and driving” section), type of route (motorway, towns
and cities, mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load,
tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take
the above into account.
Distance travelled
This indicates the approximate distance covered from the
start of the new mission.

KNOWING YOUR CAR37
Average consumption
This value shows the approximate average fuel con-
sumption from the start of the new journey.
Current consumption
This indicates any change in fuel consumption. The value
is constantly updated. The display will show ‘----’ if the
car is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the car’s average speed based on the
overall time elapsed since the start of the new journey.
Journey time
Time elapsed since the start of the new journey.
Trip Reset
This resets the Trip computer settingsTRIP control button fig. 8
The TRIP button is located on the right hand lever. With

9999.9 km or when the “Travel time” reaches 99.59
(99 hours and 59 minutes);
– disconnection/reconnection of the battery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when “Trip A” details
are being displayed resets the information associated with
this function only.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when “Trip B” details
are being displayed resets the information associated with
this function only.

With the ignition key in the MAR position, reset by press-
ing the TRIP button and keeping it pressed for more than
2 seconds.
Exit Trip
You can automatically exit the TRIP function once all the
values have been displayed or by holding the SET but-
ton down for more than 1 second.SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near to or on
some of the components of your car. These labels bear
symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken
with regard to that particular component.
A plate summarising these symbols can be found under
the bonnet.

KNOWING YOUR CAR39
LANCIA CODE SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking system which in-
creases protection against attempted thefts of the car. It is
automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during ignition by an antenna built
into the ignition device. The signal is the “password”, dif-
ferent every time the car is started, through which the
control unit recognises the key and enables starting.
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 immobilizer.
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 Lan-
cia CODE system deactivates the functions of the man-
agement 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
immobilizer function persists, try again with the spare set
of keys. Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot
start the engine.IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be
stored by the system control unit. To have new keys pro-
grammed (up to a maximum number of eight keys), con-
tact a Lancia Dealership and be ready to present all the
keys you have in your possession, the CODE card, a per-
sonal identity document and the car ownership docu-
ments. The key codes not presented during the program-
ming procedure will be deleted to ensure that any keys
that are lost or stolen cannot be used to start the engine.
Warning light Y(or symbol in the display)
switching on whilst driving
❍If the warning light Y(or symbol in the display)
switches on, this means that the system is running
a self-diagnosis test (caused, for example, by a volt-
age drop).
❍If the warning light Y(or symbol in the display) re-
mains on, contact a Lancia dealership.
The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is submitted to
strong shocks.
