Lancia Code system failure (amber)
This warning light (or symbol on the display),
when on constantly with the ignition key turned
to MAR, indicates a possible failure (see “Lancia
Code system” in chapter 1).
If the
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) is blink-
ing, this means that the vehicle is not protected by the en-
gine inhibitor device (see “Lancia Code system” in chap-
ter 1).
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have all the keys stored.
Alarm failure (where provided)
A fault with the alarm system is signalled by this warn-
ing light (or symbol in the display) coming on. Contact a
Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
The display will show a dedicated message.

Break-in attempt (where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display) comes on
when a break-in attempt is detected. Contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.
The display will show a dedicated message.Check tyre pressure
This warning light (where provided) comes on when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should go off after
a few seconds.
The warning light (or symbol in the display) lights up to
indicate that a tyre is flat (see “T.P.M.S. system ” in this
chapter).
Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will show the
indications corresponding to each tyre in sequence. Restore
the correct inflation pressure values as soon as possible (see
paragraph “Cold inflation pressures” in chapter “6”).
Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
This warning light (where provided) comes on when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should go off after
a few seconds.
Should it be necessary to travel at a speed higher than 160
km/h, inflate the tyres to the pressure value specified in
paragraph “Inflation pressures” in chapter “6”.
If the T.P.M.S. system (where provided) detects that the
inflation pressure of one or more tyres is unsuitable for the
speed being maintained, it lights up the warning light or
symbol (together with a message shown on the display)
(see paragraph “Insufficient tyre inflation pressure” in this
chapter). The warning light remains on until the vehicle
speed is reduced to below a certain threshold (see para-
graph “T.P.M.S. system” in this chapter). Insufficient tyre inflation pressure
(where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
comes on when the ignition key is turned to MAR,
but it should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light (amber), or symbol on the display (red),
lights up when the inflation pressure of one or more tyres
falls below a preset level.
In this way the T.P.M.S. system warns the driver that one
or more tyres may be dangerously flat and liable to punc-
ture (see “ T.P.M.S. system” in this chapter).
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more
tyres flat as vehicle driveability may be compromised. Stop
the car, avoiding harsh braking or steering manoeuvres. Re-
place the wheel immediately with the small spare wheel
(where provided) or carry out a repair using the dedicated
kit (see the paragraph on “Replacing a wheel” in chapter
4) and contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.

THE LANCIA CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking system which increases
protection against an attempted theft of the car. It is auto-
matically activated when the ignition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during ignition by an antenna built in-
to the ignition device. This signal is the ‘password’ which
changes at each ignition and which the control unit uses
to recognise the key and allow ignition.
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 de-
activate the inhibitor.
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 electronic
engine control unit.
If the code is not recognised correctly during ignition, the
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) comes on.In this case turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if
the lock persists try again with the spare set of keys. Con-
tact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the en-
gine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be
stored by the system control unit. To have new keys mem-
orised (up to a maximum number of eight keys), contact
a Lancia Dealership and be ready to present all the keys
you have at present, the CODE card, a personal identity
document and the car ownership documents. The codes
of any keys not presented during the memorising proce-
dure will be deleted. This is to prevent lost or stolen keys
from starting the engine.
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) lit up
during driving
If the Ywarning light (or symbol in the display)
comes on, this means that the system is running a self-
diagnosis test (caused, for example, by a voltage drop).
If the Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) remains
on, contact a Lancia dealership.
The electronic components inside the key may
be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp
knocks.

To replace the remote control cover, follow the procedure
shown in the diagram.ALARM (where provided)
The alarm, which is provided in addition to the remote
control functions described previously, is controlled by a
receiver located under the dashboard, near the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
when a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened ille-
gally (perimeter protection);
when the ignition system is operated (ignition key ro-
tated to MAR);
when the battery cables are cut;
when someone is moving inside the passenger com-
partment (volume-sensing protection);
when the vehicle is lifted or tilted.
According to the market, when the alarm is tripped this
operates the alarm siren and direction indicators (for ap-
proximately 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and the number
of cycles depend on the sales market.
There are a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles.
When this is reached the system returns to normal oper-
ation.
The volume sensing and anti-tilt protection can be ex-
cluded by adjusting the dedicated control on the front
courtesy light (see “volume sensing/anti-tilt protection”).

42GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
IMPORTANT The engine inhibitor function is guaranteed
by the Lancia CODE, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is extracted from the starter de-
vice.
SWITCHING ON THE ALARM
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with the
remote control towards the vehicle and press and release
button
Á.
Excluding some versions for specific markets, the system
produces an acoustic warning (beep) and enables door
locking.
Before the alarm is enabled, a self-diagnosis test is run:
if a fault is detected, the system emits another sound warn-
ing and a message is shown on the display, (see “Instru-
ment panel warning lights”).
In this case switch off the alarm by pressing
Ë, check that
all the doors, bonnet and tailgate are closed correctly; then
switch the alarm back on by pressing
Á.
If a door or the bonnet is not correctly closed, it will be ex-
cluded from the testing by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the
doors, bonnet and tailgate are correctly closed, a failure
has occurred in system operation. Contact a Lancia Deal-
ership.IMPORTANT Centrally locking the doors using the met-
al insert on the key does not activate the alarm.
IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is configured in com-
pliance with the regulations existing in the different coun-
tries.
SWITCHING OFF THE ALARM
Press button
Ëon the key with the remote control.
The following operations are performed (excluding some
versions for specific markets):
the direction indicators flash twice;
two brief acoustic signals are emitted (“BEEP”);
the doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is re-
leased using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not
disabled.
