KNOWING YOUR CAR

THE LANCIA CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted thefts of the vehicle.
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
vehicle 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
Powertrain Control Module to
deactivate the immobiliser. 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
management engine 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-ON; if it is still locked, try
again with the other keys that come
with the car. Contact a Lancia
Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.
If the
warning light switches on, this
means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (for example due to
a voltage drop). If the problem persists,
contact a Lancia Dealership.
