“Dualdrive” electric steering engagement
The warning light comes on (or the word
“CITY” appears on the display) when the
“Dual drive” electric power steering system is ac-
tivated by pressing the relevant control button. Pressing
the button again causes the “CITY” indication to go off.
CITY
Excessive engine coolant temperature
(red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out after
a few seconds. The warning light turns on when the en-
gine is overheated. If the warning light comes on, pro-
ceed as follows:
during normal travel: stop the car, stop the engine and
check that the water level in the reservoir is not un-
der the MIN line. If it is, wait for a few minutes for
the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open
the cap, top-up with coolant and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX references on the reser-
voir. Also check for leaks. Should the warning light
turn on again at the next start-up, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
u
If the vehicle is used under harsh conditions (e.g. tow-
ing of trailers uphill or fully loaded vehicle): slow down
and stop the car if the warning light stays on. Stop
for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slight-
ly accelerated to favour better coolant circulation. Then
stop the engine. Check correct liquid level as described
above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Doors not closed correctly (red)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
lights up when one or more doors are not closed
correctly. A buzzer will sound when doors are
open and the car is moving. On the multifunctional dis-
play, the warning light also comes on when the bonnet
and/or tailgate are not closed correctly. The display will
show a dedicated message.

Replacing the remote control cover fig. 13
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.

If you travel in areas with few filling stations
and you want to transport fuel in a spare
tank, respect the applicable laws, using on-
ly an approved, suitably secured tank. In the event
of a collision the fire risk is increased all the same.
Take care not to knock objects on the roof rack when
opening the tailgate.
Never exceed the maximum allowed load in
the luggage compartment; see chapter 6.
Make sure that the objects are arranged care-
fully in the luggage compartment so that they will
not be projected forwards following sudden brak-
ing. Do not travel with the tailgate open: exhaust
fumes could be introduced into the passenger com-
partment.
