2012 Lancia Ypsilon technical specifications

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.
