The codes of any keys
that are not available
when the new storage pro-
cedure is carried out will be
deleted from the memory to pre-
vent any lost or stolen keys being
used to start the engine.IMPORTANTIf symbol Ylights
up when the car is running:
1) If the symbol lights up together
with the message “VEHICLE PRO-
TECTION SYSTEM FAULT”, this
means that the system is running a
self-test (e.g. due to a voltage drop).
The first time you stop, you can test
the system as follows: switch the en-
gine off by turning the ignition key to
STOPthen turn the key back to
MAR: the symbol will light up and go
out in about 1 second. If the symbol
remains on, repeat the above proce-
dure, leaving the key at STOPfor
longer than 30 seconds. If the prob-
lem persists, contact your Lancia
Dealership.
2) If the symbol stays on, this
means that the code has not been
recognised. In this case, turn the key
to STOP and then back to MAR. If
the engine remains immobilised, try
with the other keys provided with
the car. If you are still unable to
start the engine, carry out the emer-
gency procedure (see chapter “In an
emergency”), and contact your
Lancia Dealership. THE KEY
The car is delivered with two
copies of the key A(fig. 7) with
metal insert and power-assisted
opening with built-in remote control
for remote door opening/closing,
boot/tailgate opening and switching
the electronic alarm on/off.

The key operates:
– ignition switch;
– steering column lock disengage-
ment;
– front door lock latches;
– dead lock device;
– remote door opening/closing;
– remote bonnet lock locking/
unlocking;
– remote boot lock locking/unlock-
ing;

nents inside the key may
be damaged if the key is
exposed to direct sunlight.Code card
The CODE card (fig. 8) is also sup-
plied with the keys and bears the
following:
A- The electronic code, to be used
for emergency starting.
B- The mechanical key code to be
given to the Lancia Dealership
when ordering duplicate keys.
Cand D- The spaces for the elec-
tronic alarm remote control stickers. By the CONNECT menu, the sys-
tem can be set in such a way that
when the door opening button is
pressed, only the driver’s door or all
the doors are unlocked. To get
acquainted with the operation logic
of the key with remote control and
all the settings that can be modified,
refer to the following paragraph
“Electronic alarm”.
IMPORTANTIf the relevant func-
tion has been actuated by the CON-
NECT menu, the boot lock will
automatically be released when cen-
tral door opening is actuated.

29
The code numbers written on the
CODE card must be kept in a safe
place (not in the car).
You should always have the elec-
tronic code number written on the
CODE card with you at all times in
case you need to perform an emer-
gency start-up.
All the keys and the
CODE card must be
handed over to the new
owner when selling the car.The key (fig. 9)has:
– metal insert Athat can be
enclosed in the key grip;
– button Bto open the metal insert;
– button Cfor remote door unlock-
ing and electronic alarm deactiva-
tion at the same time;
– button Dfor remote door and
boot locking and electronic alarm
activation at the same time;
– button Efor remote bonnet open-
ing; – led F(where required) indicating
code sending to the electronic alarm
system receiver.
Prolonged pressure (more than 2
seconds) of button Cwill actuate the
opening of all the door windows and
the sunroof, to aerate the passenger
compartment: opening is interrupt-
ed when the button is released.
Similarly, door windows and sun-
roof can be closed when closing the
doors by pressing down (for more
than 2 seconds) the remote locking
button Duntil they are completely
closed.
Door windows and sunroof closing
is interrupted when button Dis
released.
Pressing again the button Dwithin
1 second will activate the dead lock
device (see paragraph “Doors”).

30
After activating the dead
lock device it will be
impossible to get out of
the passenger compartment: for
this reason this device must be
activated only after making sure
that the passenger compartment
is empty.The metal insert A (fig. 10) of the
key operates:
– ignition switch;
– steering column lock disengage-
ment;
– the front door locks;
– the boot lock;
– the passenger side airbag deacti-
vation switch;
– the rear airbag deactivation
switch.
To make the metal insert come out
of the key handle, press button B.Take the greatest care
when pressing button B
(fig. 10), to avoid that the
metal insert A can cause injury or
damage when coming out. Button
B must be pressed only when the
key is far from your body, in par-
ticular your eyes, and from
objects subject to deterioration
(e.g. clothes). Do not leave the key
unattended to prevent anyone,
especially children, from han-
dling it and pressing button B
unintentionally.
To put the metal insert into the key
grip, keep button Bdepressed and
rotate the insert in the direction
shown by the arrow until hearing the
locking click. Then release button B.

Remote control
The remote control is built into the
key and has three buttons C, Dand E
(fig. 9) and a led F (where required).
The buttons respectively operate the
central opening control, the central
locking control and the boot lock;
the led flashes while the transmitter
is sending the code to the receiver.
This code (rolling code) changes at
each transmission.
To actuate the remote central door
opening, press button C (fig. 9): the
doors will unlock and the indicators
will flash twice. To actuate central
door locking, press button D: the
doors will lock and the indicators
will flash once.By pressing button C, also the
alarm system will be switched off; by
pressing button D, the alarm system
will be switched on and the key led
F(where required) will flash while
the transmitter sends the code to the
receiver: this code (rolling code)
varies at each transmission.
IMPORTANTWhen the remote
control battery is run down, the
dashboard display will show the
symbol Yaccompanied by the mes-
sage “DISCHARGED REMOTE
CONTROLBATTERY”. In this
case, it is advisable to replace the
battery as soon as possible, by fol-
lowing the instructions given below.IMPORTANTThe remote control
operation depends on different fac-
tors, such as possible interference
with electromagnetic waves emitted
by external sources, the battery
charge and the presence of metal
objects near the key and the car. It is
however possible to perform any
procedure using the metal insert of
the key.

OPENING THE TAILGATE
The tailgate can be opened from
the outside by pressing the remote
control button E (fig. 9), even when
the electronic alarm is on.
One single short pressure of the
button will switch the boot alarm
system off and release the lock: the
tailgate can therefore be opened
from the outside by pressing the
boot button. A prolonged pressure
(more than 1 second) of the button
will switch the boot alarm system off
and open the tailgate, which will
partially lift.
The opening of the tailgate is
accompanied by two direction indi-
cator flashes.When tailgate opening is actuated,
the alarm system disconnects the
boot sensor and the direction indica-
tors flash twice (except for the ver-
sions of certain markets).
When the tailgate is closed again,
press button D(fig. 9) to restore
locking and control functions; the
direction indicators will flash twice
(except for the versions of certain
markets).
If the tailgate is not open within 30
seconds after actuating the boot
unlock control, the tailgate lock will
be re-locked and the alarm system
will be reactivated.AUTOMATICALLY ACTUATED
FUNCTIONS
The system automatically controls
the following functions (settings that
cannot be modified):
– boot locking if, within 30 seconds
after boot unlocking, it will not be
opened;
– possible unlocking of all the door
locks, in case of impact with actua-
tion of the inertia switch;
– lock release and tailgate opening
(actuated by the button inside the
car);
– door opening/closing by the but-
tons inside the car;
– disconnection of all services when
the key is turned to STOP, exclud-
ing sound system, window regula-
tors, sunroof and internal lighting
until doors are opened;
– progressive switching on/off of
internal lights;
– light indication of boot open/
closed.

39
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL
KEYS WITH REMOTE
CONTROL
The receiver will acknowledge up
to eight keys with remote control. If
you ever need a new key with remote
control, go directly to a Lancia
Dealership, taking with you the
CODE card, personal identification
and the car ownership papers.ELECTRONIC
ALARM
The system consists of:
– radio-frequency transmitter
(built into the ignition key);
– radio-frequency receiver;
– electronic control unit with built-
in siren (the siren can be deactivat-
ed);
– volumetric sensors (which can be
deactivated);
– anti-lifting sensor (which can be
deactivated).
The electronic alarm is controlled
by the receiver and is switched
on/off by means of the remote con-
trol built into the key, which sends
the secret and variable code. The electronic alarm monitors:
– the illicit opening of doors, bon-
net and boot (perimetral protec-
tion);
– ignition switch operation;
– cutting of battery cables;
– moving bodies inside the passen-
ger compartment (volumetric pro-
tection)
– any abnormal raising/sloping of
the car.
IMPORTANTThe engine immo-
bilising system is governed by the
Lancia CODE system and is auto-
matically activated when the igni-
tion key is removed.
