PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures
during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire
hazard.
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.ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical ac-
cessories (that may gradually drain the battery), visit
aLancia Dealership. They can calculate the overall
electrical requirement and check that the car’s elec-
tric system can support the required load.
CODE CARD
Keep the card in a safe place, not in the car. We rec-
ommend that you always carry the electronic code pro-
vided on the CODE card with you, in case you need
to perform an emergency start.

❍turn the screw C to :using a fine screwdriver;
❍take out the battery case D and replace the battery
E, respecting its polarity;
❍refit the battery case D inside the key and lock it by
turning the screw C to Á.If the button for locking the doors Áis acci-
dentally pressed from the inside, only the
doors opened for getting out of the car are released;
the tailgate remains locked. To realign the system
the locking/unlocking buttons

Switching the device off
The device disengages automatically by:
❍opening the driver’s door using the metal insert;
❍pressing the
Ëbutton on the remote control;
❍turning the ignition key to the MAR position
ALARM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote control functions
described previously, is controlled by the receiver located
under the dashboard near the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm intervenes in the following cases:
❍when a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened il-
legally (perimeter protection);
❍when the ignition system is operated (ignition key
turned to MAR);
❍cutting of the battery cables;
❍movement inside the passenger compartment (volu-
metric protection);
❍when the vehicle is lifted or tilted.
Depending on the market, the activation of the alarm
causes the activation of the siren and the direction indi-
cators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and the
number of cycles depend on the sales market.
There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles.
When this is reached the system returns to normal op-
eration.
The volume sensing and anti-lift protection can be ex-
cluded by adjusting the dedicated control on the front
roof light (see “Volumetric/anti-lift protection”).
Once the safe lock device is engaged it is im-
possible to open the doors from inside the
car. Before engaging the device, check that
there is no one left on board. If the remote control
battery is flat, the device can only be disengaged by
using the metal insert in either of the door locks.

VOLUMETRIC/ANTI-LIFT PROTECTION
To guarantee the correct operation of the protection sys-
tem it is advisable to shut all the side windows and the
sun roof (for versions/markets where provided).
If necessary, the function can be turned off (if, for ex-
ample, you are leaving an animal in the car) by pressing
button A-fig. 14, located in the front courtesy light, be-
fore activating the alarm itself.
When the function is disabled, this is indicated by the
LED on the button flashing for several seconds. Any dis-
abling of the volume sensing/anti-lift protection must be
repeated each time the instrument panel is switched off.
BREAK IN ATTEMPT INDICATION
Any break in attempt is indicated by the
Ywarning light
(or symbol in the display) lighting up, together with
a message shown in the display (see “Instrument panel
warning lights” chapter).DISABLING THE ALARM
To turn the alarm off completely (for example, if the ve-
hicle is not being used for a long time) the vehicle must
be closed by turning the metal insert in the key in the lock
without using the remote control.
IMPORTANT If the battery of the key with the remote
control runs out or the system fails, the alarm can be
switched off by placing the key in the ignition switch and
turning it to MAR.

IMPORTANT It is advisable to activate air recirculation
in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. However, it is better not to use the function for
long periods, particularly if there are many people on
board, to prevent the windows from misting inside.
D. Air recirculation on/off button
(LED lit up when function is on).
E Manual climate control compressor on/off button
(LED lit up when function is on).
F Heated rear window activation/deactivation button.
When the function is active, an LED on the button
is lit up. In order to maintain battery efficiency, the
function is automatically deactivated after about
20 minutes.FAST FRONT WINDOW AND FRONT SIDE
WINDOWS DEMISTING/DEFROSTING (MAX-DEF)
Proceed as follows:
❍turn knob A to the red section;
❍turn knob C to
Ú;
❍turn knob D to -;
❍turn knob B to 4 -(maximum fan speed).
IMPORTANT The climate control system is very useful for
fast demisting because it dries the air. Adjust the controls
as described above and press knob B to switch the climate
control system on: the LED on the knob will light up.
SYSTEM SERVICING
In winter, the climate control system must be turned on
at least once a month for about 10 minutes. Have the sys-
