remote control. Should a new remote control be neces-
sary, contact a Lancia Dealership and be ready to present
the CODE card, a personal identity document and the
car’s ownership documents.

❍opening the driver’s door using the metal insert;
❍pressing the
Ëbutton on the remote control;
❍turning the ignition key to the MAR position
ALARM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote control functions
described previously, is controlled by the receiver located
under the dashboard near the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm intervenes in the following cases:
❍when a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened il-
legally (perimeter protection);
❍when the ignition system is operated (ignition key
turned to MAR);
❍cutting of the battery cables;
❍movement inside the passenger compartment (volu-
metric protection);
❍when the vehicle is lifted or tilted.
Depending on the market, the activation of the alarm
causes the activation of the siren and the direction indi-
cators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and the
number of cycles depend on the sales market.
There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles.
When this is reached the system returns to normal op-
eration.
The volume sensing and anti-lift protection can be ex-
cluded by adjusting the dedicated control on the front
roof light (see “Volumetric/anti-lift protection”).
Once the safe lock device is engaged it is im-
possible to open the doors from inside the
car. Before engaging the device, check that
there is no one left on board. If the remote control
battery is flat, the device can only be disengaged by
using the metal insert in either of the door locks.

IMPORTANT The engine immobilizer function is guar-
anteed by the Lancia CODE, which is automatically ac-
tivated when the ignition key is extracted from the starter
device.
TURNING THE ALARM ON
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 markets, the system produces an acoustic
warning (beep) and enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is preceded by a self-di-
agnosis stage: if a fault is detected, the system emits a new
acoustic signal together with the display of a message (see
“Panel warning lights” chapter).
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 properly shut, it will be ex-
cluded from the testing by the alarm system.
If the alarm emits an acoustic signal even when the doors,
bonnet and tailgate are correctly closed, a failure has oc-
curred in system operation. Contact a Lancia Dealership.IMPORTANT Centrally locking the doors using the metal
insert on the key does not activate the alarm.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to meet requirements
in various countries.
TURNING THE ALARM OFF
Press button
Ëon the key with the remote control.
The following operations are performed (excluding some
markets):
❍the direction indicators flash briefly twice;
❍two brief acoustic signals are emitted (“BEEP”);
❍the doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT Activating the central opening using the
key’s metal insert does not turn the alarm off.

and you want to transport fuel in a spare
tank, comply with the regulations in force
and use only an approved, suitably secured tank. In
the event of a collision the fire risk is increased all
the same.

the luggage compartment; see chapter 6.
Make sure that the objects are well arranged
in the boot so that they will not be projected for-
wards following sudden braking. Never travel with
