Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
This warning light (for versions/markets, where provid-
ed) 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 (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) 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 paragraph “T.P.M.S. system” in this
chapter).
IMPORTANT reduce speed immediately if this occurs.
Tyre overheating could irreparably compromise tyre per-
formance and life, and in extreme cases may even cause
the tyre to explode.The fault relating to these lights may be caused by: one or
more burnt lamps, a blown protection fuse or interruption
of the electrical connection.
The display will show a dedicated message.

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.

Replacing the remote control cover fig. 13
To replace the remote control cover, follow the procedure
shown in the diagram.ALARM
(for versions/markets, 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”).
