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”).

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.

The pretensioner does not require
any maintenance or greasing.
Anything that modifies its original
conditions invalidates its efficiency.
If due to unusual natural events
(floods, sea storm, etc.) the device
has been affected by water and mud,
it must necessarily be replaced.
The pretensioner can
only be used once. After a
collision that has trig-
gered it, have it replaced at a
Lancia Dealership Pretensioner
validity is written on the plate
located on the front left door post
near door hinges. The preten-
sioners should be replaced at a
Lancia Dealership as this date
approaches.After adjustment, always
check that the device is
anchored in one of the
positions provided. To do this,
with the grip released, exert a
further pressure to allow the
anchor device to catch if release
did not take place at one of the
preset positions. PRETENSIONERS
Your car is fitted with pretension-
ers on the front and rear side seats to
improve protection.
These devices “feel”, through a
sensor, that a violent crash is in
progress and rewind the seat belts a
few centimetres. In this way they
ensure that the seat belt adheres per-
fectly to the wearer before the
restraining action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that
the device has intervened; the seat
belt cannot be drawn back up even
when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANTTo obtain the high-
est degree of protection from the
action of the pretensioning device,
wear the seat belt keeping it firmly
close to the chest and pelvis.
Front seat pretensioners activate
only if front seat belts are properly
fitted into buckles.
A small amount of smoke may be
produced. This smoke is in no way
toxic and presents no fire hazard.

or
– by momentarily turning ring Bto
(+): each turn of the ring will corre-
spond to a small speed increase
(approximately 1 km/h), while a
continuous pressure will correspond
to a continuous speed increase.
Release ring B: the new speed will
automatically be stored.
Reducing the stored speed
The stored speed can be decreased
in two ways:
– by switching the device off (e.g.
by pressing the brake pedal) and
then storing the new speed (turning
ring Bto (+) for longer than three
seconds)
or
– by turning ring Bto (–) until the
new speed is reached. The new speed
will automatically be stored.Deleting the stored speed
The stored speed is automatically
deleted when:
– the engine is stopped
or
– switch Ais turned to OFF.
When driving with the
cruise control, do not
shift the gear lever to neu-
tral. You should only switch the
cruise control on when the traffic
and road conditions allow this in
complete safety, i.e. straight and
dry roads, motorways, fast mov-
ing traffic and smooth road sur-
face. Do not use the device in
cities or in heavy traffic.The cruise control can
be switched on at speeds
higher than 30 km/h (40
to 180 km/h for 2.4 JTD 20V CAE
version). The device can only be
switched on in 4th, 5th or 6th
gear, according to car speed. In
versions with automatic trans-
mission, the device must only be
switched on with the gear lever at
D during automatic operation
without shifting the lever subse-
quently, or with the 3
rdor 4thgear
engaged during manual sequen-
tial operation.
When travelling down-hill the
speed may increase with respect
to the stored value according to
the change in engine load.
