THE LANCIA CODE SYSTEMTo further protect your car from theft, it has been
fitted with an engine immobilising system. 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", different 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 deactivate 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
Lancia CODE system deactivates the functions
of the engine management control unit. If, during
starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the
warning light switches on in the instrument
panel. In this case, turn the key to STOP and then
to MAR; if it is still locked, try again with the
other keys that come with the vehicle. Contact a
Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.Warning light
switching on while driving
If the
warning light switches on, this means
that the system is running a self-diagnosis (for
example for a voltage drop). If the problem
persists, contact a Lancia Dealership.

Deactivating the device
The device deactivates automatically:
❒by pressing the
button on the remote control;
❒by turning the ignition key to the MAR position.
WARNING
Once the safe lock system is engaged,
it is impossible
to open the doors
from inside the car. Before getting out of the
car, please therefore check that there is
no-one left on board.
IGNITION DEVICEThe key can be turned to 3 different positionsfig.
17:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering
column locked. Some electrical devices (e.g.
sound system, central door locking system, etc.)
can operate;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are
enabled;
❒AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety system
that requires the ignition key to be turned back to
STOP if the engine does not start, before the
starting operation can be repeated.

ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device speeds up passenger compartment
warming when it is very cold. The additional
heater turns off automatically after reaching the
required comfort conditions.
The heater only works if the outside temperature
and engine coolant temperature are low. The
heater will not activate if the battery voltage is too
low.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system must be
turned on at least once a month for about
10 minutes. Have the system inspected at a
Lancia Dealership before the summer.

Manual selections always have higher priority over
automatic settings and are stored until the user
switches the system back to automatic control
expect for cases in which the system intervenes for
particular safety-related reasons. You can adjust
one function manually without affecting the
automatic control of the others.
The amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment is not affected by car speed; it is
regulated by the fan, which is controlled
electronically.
The temperature of the air introduced is always
controlled automatically, according to the
temperature set in the display for the driver and
the front passenger (except when the system is off
or in certain conditions when the compressor is
deactivated).
The system allows the following to be set or
adjusted manually:
❒driver/front passenger side air temperature
❒fan speed (continuous variation)
❒air distribution to 5 positions (driver/passenger)
❒compressor activation
❒rapid defrosting/demisting function
❒air recirculation
❒heated rear window
❒system deactivation.SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The system can be switched on in various ways; it
is however advisable to press the AUTO button
and set the desired temperature on the display.
The climate control system allows you to
customise the temperatures requested (driver side
and passenger side) with a maximum difference
of 7°C.
The climate control system compressor works only
with the engine running and with an outside
temperature of above 4°C.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
OPERATION
Press the AUTO button; the system will
automatically adjust:
❒the amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment;
❒the distribution of the air in the passenger
compartment;
cancelling all previous manual adjustments.
During climate control system automatic
operation, the word AUTO appears on the display.
During automatic operation it is still possible to
adjust the temperatures set and carry out the
following operations manually:
❒fan speed adjustment
❒air distribution selection

❒AQS function disabled.
With the climate control compressor switched off,
air cannot be introduced into the passenger
compartment that has a lower temperature than
the outside air; in this case the
symbol in the
display will flash.
The deactivation of the climate control compressor
is memorised even after the engine has stopped.
To reactivate the climate control compressor, press
button
or AUTO again: if you press AUTO,
the other manual settings will be cancelled.
AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION
Press one or more of buttons A fig. to manually
select one of the possible air distribution settings
for the passenger compartment:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side
window diffusers to demist/defrost them.Air flow to the front and rear footwell
diffusers. This air distribution allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed up
quickly.+
+
Air flow distribution between
front and rear diffusers,
centre/side dashboard diffusers,
rear diffuser and windscreen
and front side window
demisting/defrosting diffusers.
Air flow distribution to centre/side dashboard
diffusers (passenger's body).+
Air flow distributed between footwell
diffusers and windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting diffusers.
This distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed
effectively and prevents the windows
from misting.
+
Air flow distribution between footwell
diffusers (hotter air) and centre/side
dashboard diffusers and rear diffuser
(cooler air).
+
Air flow distribution between
centre/side dashboard vents, rear
diffuser and windscreen and front side
window demisting/defrosting diffusers.
This distribution setting ventilates
the passenger compartment well and
prevents the windows from misting up.
IMPORTANT For the climate control system to
function, at least one of the buttons A must be
operated fig. . The system does not allow the
deactivation of all the buttons A.
IMPORTANT Push the OFF button to turn the
climate control system back on: in this way, all
operating conditions memorised before switching
off are restored.
To restore automatic control of the air distribution
after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.

Move the stalk upwards (unstable position) to
limit operation to the time for which the stalk is
held in this position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the wiper will
be automatically stopped.
With the ring nut A fig. 35 in position
, the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt
operating speed to the speed of the vehicle.
With the windscreen wipers operational, if reverse
gear is engaged, the rear window wiper is
automatically activated.
Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protection,
which prevents operation for a few seconds,
may intervene. If operation is not restored
(even after using the key to restart the engine),
contact a Lancia Dealership.Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the
windscreen."Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to activate the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half a
second, with just one movement it is possible to
operate the washer jet and the wiper at the same
time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the
stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the rear view
mirror in contact with the windscreen fig. 36 and
has the purpose of automatically adjusting the
frequency of the windscreen wiper strokes
depending on the intensity of the rain during
intermittent operation.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at first continuous
speed (slow continuous operation) with intense
rain.
