“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.

BONNET
OPENING fig. 65
Proceed as follows:
pull lever A in the direction indicated by the arrow;
operate lever B as shown in the diagram;
lift the bonnet and at the same time release support
rod C from its catch, then insert the end of the rod in-
to seat D in the bonnet (larger hole) and push to safe-
ty position (smaller hole), as shown in the diagram.
Incorrect positioning of the support rod may
cause the bonnet to drop suddenly. Perform these
operations when the car is stationary only.
Before lifting the bonnet, ensure that the
wiper arm is not lifted from the windscreen.

98GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
With the engine hot, work with caution inside
the engine compartment to avoid burns. Do
not place your hands near the fan: it may
switch on even if the ignition key has been removed.
Wait for engine cooling.
Pay attention to scarves, ties and other loose
fitting garments. If they accidentally touch
moving parts, they may get dragged in, pos-
ing serious risk to the wearer.
To close fig. 65
Proceed as follows:
hold the bonnet up with one hand and with the other
remove rod C from seat D and fit it back into its catch;
Lower the bonnet to approximately 20 centimetres
above the engine compartment and let it drop. Make
sure that the bonnet is completely closed and not on-
ly fastened by the safety catch by trying to open it. If
it is not fully closed, open the bonnet and repeat the
procedure. Do not simply press it.
For safety reasons, the bonnet must always
be fully closed while travelling. Make sure
that the bonnet is perfectly closed and that
the lock is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed while travelling, stop imme-
diately and close the bonnet in the correct manner.
