VERY IMPORTANT
REFUELLING
Petrol engines:refuel with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of 95 or higher only.
Multijet engines:only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse

Multijet engines:Turn the ignition key to MARand wait for the warning lights Yemto go out; turn
the ignition key AV Vand release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire risk.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with
emissions to ensure better respect for the environment.

SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been at-
tached near or actually on some of the
components of your car. These labels
bear symbols that remind you of the
precautions to be taken as regards
that particular component.
The plate summarising the symbols
used can be found under the bonnet
fig. 9.
THE LANCIA CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
from attempted theft of the car. It is
automatically activated when the ig-
nition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic de-
vice which modulates the signal emit-
ted during ignition by an antenna in-
corporated in the ignition device. This
signal is the ‘password’ which changes
at each ignition and which the control
unit uses to recognise the key and al-
low ignition.

Warning light
Ycoming on
when driving
❒If the warning light Yturns on,
this means that the system is run-
ning a self-test (for example for a
voltage drop).
❒If the fault persists, contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started turning
the ignition key to MAR, the Lancia
CODE system control unit sends a
recognition code to the engine control
unit to activate the functions. The
code is sent only if the Lancia CODE
system control unit has recognised the
code transmitted from the key. Each
time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Lancia CODE system de-
activates the functions of the engine
electronic control unit.
If the code has not been recognised
correctly, the warning light
Yturns
on on the display.The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is submitted
to sharp knocks.
In this case, turn the key to STOP
and then back to MAR; try with the
other keys provided if the problem
persists. Contact a Lancia Dealership
if you still cannot start the engine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own
code which must be stored by the sys-
tem electronic control unit. Contact a
Fiat Dealership to have new keys (up
to eight) stored.
