Before leaving the car in
a car-wash tunnel, disen-
gage the parking brake by
following the instructions
described in the relevant para-
graph, and leave the CID device
inside the passenger compart-
ment, to avoid automatic steering
column lock.IMPORTANTUser is not authorised
to move the car if the start-up knob is
not turned to the position MAR.
Should it be necessary to tow the car,
it is advised to turn the knob to the
MARposition before moving the car.
Steering column unlocking
The steering column is automati-
cally switched off, and the instru-
ment panel and electrical services
switched on, when the system
detects the simultaneous presence of
the following conditions:
cessive rotation of knob A(fig. 22)
to the STOPposition, and it will not
be possible to restart the car until a
valid CID device is identified inside
the passenger compartment.
IMPORTANTMake sure the CID
device is not positioned in places dif-
ficult to be accessed by the identifi-
cation system, such as the instru-
ment panel, the car floor or the shelf
below the rear window. Some elec-
tronic devices (e. g. mobile phones,
PDA, etc.) can moreover influence
the CID device identification. In the
case where, after a start-up opera-
tion, the message “ELECTRONIC
KEY NOT IDENTIFIED” should be
displayed, on the instrument panel,
make sure make sure whether the
CID is present into the passenger
compartment and it is located in
places tat can be reached by identi-
fication system.
IMPORTANTIf the CID device is
inside the luggage compartment, it is
possible that the engine could not be
started.Engine stop
To switch the engine off, turn the
knob from MARto STOP: the
engine will stop and the instrument
panel will display the message
“STEERING LOCKED WHEN
DOORS CLOSED”.
Steering column locking
The steering column lock is auto-
matically switched on by actuating
door closing by means of the remote
control, if the system has detected
the simultaneous presence of the fol-
lowing conditions:
– engine off (knob rotation to
STOPwith the car at a standstill)
– clutch pedal released (brake pedal
released on versions with automatic
transmission).
IMPORTANTThe steering column
lock is not switched on when the
door locks are actuated by means of
the emergency key in the CID
device, or automatically when the
CID device is taken away from the
car.

49
– CID device inside the car
– clutch pedal depressed (brake
pedal on versions with automatic
transmission).
IMPORTANTIf the car battery is
run down, the steering column can-
not be unlocked and the car cannot
be started. In this case, an auxiliary
battery must be connected, in order
to unlock the steering column and
start the engine (see paragraph
“Jump starting”); then, contact a
Lancia Dealershipto have the bat-
tery recharged.DOOR UNLOCKING
TO ACCESS CAR
To perform door unlocking, push on
button A(fig. 23front doors -
fig. 24rear doors) in the inside part
of handles. The Keyless System iden-
tifies the CID device, deactivates the
electronic alarm system and operates
the door/s unlocking mechanism.
Leds on door panels will be lit to a
green colour to notice unlocking.
It is possible to set unlocking of dri-
ver’s door only or the contemporary
unlocking of all the doors, by the set-
tings on CONNECT (see the following
paragraph “System Settings”). If “dri-
ver’s door unlocking” is set, it will be
possible to access the passenger com-
partment only through this door; to
unlock the other doors push on but-
ton B(fig. 18) on CID device.

IMPORTANTIf car or CID device
batteries are flat, to unlock the door
lock it is necessary to operate on the
revolving plug with the emergency
key F (fig. 19).
IMPORTANTIf the door lock has
been closed with the emergency key F
(fig. 19), Keyless System functions
will temporarily disabled. These func-
tions will automatically be restored at
the next unlocking by pushing button
B(fig. 18) on the CID device or after
the unlocking with the emergency key
F(fig. 19).

AUTOCLOSE FUNCTION
(AUTOMATIC LOCKING
OF DOORS, BOOT,
AND FUEL FILLER FLAP)
The Keyless System automatically
locks the boot and door locks when
the owner goes away with the CID
device at least 4 metres far from the
car. Boot and door locking is con-
firmed by the flashing of direction
indicators.
This function can be switched off
by acting on the CONNECT settings.
The Autoclose function is not actu-
ated in the following cases:
– If, when the driver moves away
from the car, one or several doors are
not closed correctly, automatic lock-
ing will not be actuated and the car
doors and boot will remain open: the
owner is warned of this by the failed
blinking of direction indicators.
– If at the time of moving away,
other CID devices are identified as
existing in the car passenger com-
partment or in the luggage compart-
ment, or if the knob is not set to the
STOPposition (instrument panel
turned on or engine started). LOCKING THE DOOR AND
LEAVING THE CAR (with the
identification system disabled)
To lock doors when system func-
tions are disabled, proceed as fol-
lows:
– Close all the doors and the lug-
gage compartment bonnet
– Push on button C(fig. 18) on
CID device to engage central locking
of doors, of luggage compartment
and of electronic alarm.
Leds on door panels will lit for
approx. 3 seconds in red colour and
then they will start flashing with
deterring function.
If one or more doors are not cor-
rectly closed, leds will start flashing
for 3 seconds instead of being lit
with a fixed light. After flashing for
3 seconds, leds will anyhow be
turned out, except for that on the
driver’s door, which will start flash-
ing with a deterring function. TAILGATE OPENING
If the boot shall be opened from
outside, with the doors locked, it is
enough to get near the boot with the
CID device and press the boot but-
ton: the boot lock will release and
the boot will be opened while the
doors remain locked. If the alarm
system is on, the boot protection,
volumetric protection and anti-lift-
ing protection will be temporarily
excluded.
When the boot is reclosed, it will
have to be locked by pressing the
door locking button on the CID
device, which will resume the alarm
protection, too.
IMPORTANTBefore closing the
luggage compartment bonnet, make
sure you always have with yourself
the CID device.

51
The alarm system, the
steering lock and the
deadlock device are not
actuated by the automatic lock-
ing function.
IMPORTANTPurpose of Autoclose
function is to lock doors, luggage
compartment and fuel filler flap when
owner possessing the CID device,
moves away from the car. In this case
(Autoclose function on), push on but-
ton B(fig. 18) on CID to unlock fuel
filler flap in order to refuel. – If there is a fault in the identifi-
cation system (Keyless System).
– If the CID device battery is flat.
– If the last engine start-up was
performed with the CID device in
the emergency position.
IMPORTANT
– If, after locking the locks, a door
is opened from inside the car, all the
locks will be unlocked.
– If central door opening has been
activated by pressing the CID but-
ton, the Autoclose function (auto-
matic locking) will not be activated.
To activate central locking, press the
relevant button on the CID device.
– When the Autoclose function on,
before leaving the car, make sure
you always have with yourself the
CID device.The Autoclose function can be
influenced by the presence of elec-
tromagnetic noises; in these cases
lock the doors with the remote con-
trol or use the door locks.
CENTRAL LOCKING/OPENING
OF WINDOWS AND SUNROOF
When central door locking is
switched on/off, also the central
locking/opening of the windows and
the sunroof can be controlled, pro-
vided that all the doors are properly
closed.
To actuate central locking of the
windows and the sunroof, keep the
remote control button A(fig. 25)
depressed for more than 2 seconds
after closing the doors: both the win-
dow regulators and the sunroof will
be actuated until they are fully
closed or until the button is released.

52
The other recognition system set-
tings that can be enabled/disabled
are:
– automatic locking of doors and
boot.
As regards the setting of the recog-
nition system customizations, refer
to the CONNECT supplement.
FAILURE INDICATION
The presence of anomalies in the
Keyless System is indicated by the
lighting of symbol Yon the instru-
ment display, together with the mes-
sage “VEHICLE PROTECTION
SYSTEM FAULT”.
IMPORTANT In case of fault, con-
tact your Lancia Dealership.
Before and during auto-
matic actuation of the
window regulators and
sunroof, always make sure that
the passengers and the persons
standing near the car are not
exposed to the risk of injures that
may be caused either by the mov-
ing windows and sunroof or by
objects dragged or hit by the
same. To actuate central opening of the
windows and sunroof, keep the
remote control button B(fig. 25)
depressed for more than 2 seconds
after opening the doors: both the win-
dow regulators and the sunroof will be
actuated until they are fully opened or
until the button is released.
This function can be used to aerate
the passenger’s compartment before
getting into the car parked in the sun.
IMPORTANT Do not lay the CID
device outside the car on the sunroof,
to avoid a fake identification of the
CID itself as if inside the car. It is rec-
ommend to carry about with you the
CID device (e.g. into a pocket). SYSTEM SETTINGS
The CONNECT enables to cus-
tomize certain functions of the
Keyless System recognition system,
through the settings that can be
selected on the CONNECT display.
The “central unlock” and “driver’s
door unlock” functions of the central
locking can be set also for the
Keyless System and operate as fol-
lows:
– central unlock: all the car doors
are unlocked simultaneously and
access is possible through every door
– driver’s door unlock: access is
possible through the driver’s door
whereas the other doors remain
locked, thus preventing un-autho-
rized persons from getting into the
car. In this case, the led on the dri-
ver’s door panel lights up (green
colour) whereas the leds on the other
doors remain off.
When “unlocking driver’s door” is
set, it is anyhow possible to unlock all
the doors, to enable access to passen-
gers, by pushing button B(fig. 18) on
CID device or, after opening the dri-
ver’s door, by pushing the central
unlock button existing on the door
panel.

55
To unlock, turn the key clockwise
1; to lock, turn the key counter-
clockwise 2.
When the doors are released by
means of the remote control, the
alarm system and the deadlock
device (described below) are also
switched off.
IMPORTANTThe electronic
alarm will not be switched off if the
door is unlocked by the key in the
lock.
Inside each handle there is a button
A(fig. 31 front doors -fig. 32 rear
doors) which actuates, when the
handle is caught, the servo control
used to open the door.The car is fitted with power locks
that control the mechanical parts at
door opening.

In an emergency (flat battery or
electric system failure), doors can be
opened, with the locks released, by
pressing button B(fig. 31 front
doors -fig. 32 rear doors).
All door panels incorporate a
red/green led A(fig. 33 front doors -
fig. 34 rear doors) , indicating the
locking/unlocking condition. The
leds come on with red light for about
3 seconds after door locking and
with green light after unlocking.
IMPORTANTDoor leds stay on
for about 3 seconds only; therefore,
leds are off under normal conditions.

56
Deadlock device
The deadlock device enables to dis-
connect mechanically the internal
door handles; in this case, doors can-
not be opened from the inside by
acting on the handles after breaking
the glass (improving protection
against theft).
The device can be switched on by
pressing the remote control button B
(fig. 29) again within 1 second after
closing the doors: active function
will be indicated by a beep and 2
further blinks of the direction indi-
cators.
The device activates only if all the
doors are properly closed.
When the deadlock device is
switched on, the door panel leds will
flash twice with red light.
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 front door leds are also used as
deterrent leds for the alarm system;
as a consequence, they will flash
when the alarm system is on or the
doors are locked.
The CONNECT enables to set the
central locking of all the doors or
only the driver’s door.
In the former case, all the car doors
are unlocked simultaneously and
access is possible through any door.
In the second case, access is possible
only through the driver’s door,
whereas the other doors are locked,
thus preventing un-authorized per-
sons from getting into the car.In this case, the driver’s door led
comes on with green light, whereas
the leds on the other doors will
remain off.
When only the driver’s door is
unlocked, after opening the driver’s
door, also the other doors can be
unlocked by pressing the central
unlocking button B(fig. 35) so as to
enable passengers getting into the
car.
IMPORTANTButtons Band C
(fig. 35) are disabled when the doors
are locked from the outside.
If, when the doors are closed from
the outside, one or more doors
and/or the boot are not closed cor-
rectly, the direction indicators will
flash rapidly for a few seconds.

OPENING/CLOSING FROM
THE INSIDE
To open the door even when the
lock is locked, pull handle A(fig. 35
front doors -fig. 36 rear doors) set in
the upper part of the panel.
Next to each door handle are two
buttons that actuate lock
locking/unlocking:
– B button for unlocking;
– Cbutton for locking.
The red/green leds A(fig. 33 front
doors –fig. 34 rear doors) indicate
the locking/unlocking condition.
The leds come on with red light for
about 3 seconds after door locking
and with green light after unlocking.
By pulling the internal handle of
the driver’s door, all the doors or
only the driver’s door will be simul-
taneously unlocked, depending on
the setting selected on the CON-
NECT. By pulling the internal han-
dle of any other door, all the doors
are simultaneously unlocked.
fig. 36
L0A0052b
With the dead lock
device on, pressing the
external handle button of
one of the doors while unlocking
the doors by the remote control
could cause the disconnection of
the internal handle of the
involved door thus making
impossible to open that door
from the inside. To restore regu-
lar operation, just press the
remote control central door
unlocking button or button B (fig.
36) on the door panel.A led is located near each door
handle to make it easy to find the
handle in the dark. The leds light up
for about 2 minutes after turning the
ignition key to STOPor until a door
is opened.
Door open indication
The driver is informed that one or
several doors are not closed correct-
ly by the lighting of the correspond-
ing symbols on the instrument dis-
play, together with the messages
“DOOR OPEN” or “DOORS
OPEN”.

58
Disabling rear door
locking/unlocking controls
To disable rear door locking/un-
locking controls, press the driver's
door button A(fig. 37) for more than
one second. When controls are off, the
button warning light will come on.
To restore controls, press button A
again. When controls are enabled, the
button warning light is off.CHILD LOCK
To prevent opening the rear doors
from the inside.
Engage by inserting the tip of the ig-
nition key in A(fig. 38) to turn the
lock.
Position 1- engaged.
Position 2- disengaged.
The device will be engaged even if
the doors are unlocked by means of
the centralised system.IMPORTANT After engaging the
lock, check by trying to open a rear
door with the internal handle.
fig. 37
L0A0100b
Always use the lock when
transporting children. This
will prevent them opening
a door by themselves when travel-
ling.
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING
WHEN SPEED EXCEEDS
20 KM/H
The CONNECT enables to set
automatic locking of doors, boot and
fuel cap when the car speed exceeds
20 km/h.
To actuate these settings, refer to
the CONNECT supplement provid-
ed with the car.

AUTOCLOSE FUNCTION
(AUTOMATIC LOCKING
WITH KEYLESS SYSTEM
RECOGNITION SYSTEM)
On versions equipped with Keyless
System, the “Autoclose” function
can be actuated/deactivated through
the CONNECT settings. This func-
tion makes it possible to automati-
cally lock the boot and doors when
the CID device is taken away from
the car.
When leaving the car, if one or
more doors are not closed correctly,
the car will remain open and a fur-
ther beep will sound to indicate that
the locks have not been locked.
The “Autoclose” functions actuates
neither the alarm system nor the
door deadlock device (refer to the
contents of the relevant paragraph).
In any case, these functions can be
actuated by means of the remote
control.LOCK RELEASE IN CASE OF
ACCIDENT
In case of collision with actuation
of the inertia switch, the door locks
are automatically released to allows
rescuers to get access to the passen-
ger compartment.In any case, door open-
ing from the outside
depends on the door con-
ditions after the collision:
deformed doors cannot very often
be opened even if the lock is
released. In such a case, try to
open the other doors.
INITIALISING THE DOOR
LOCKING CONTROL UNIT
Whenever the battery is electrically
connected again or it is reloaded
after being completely flat or after
replacing one of the protection fuses,
to restore the correct operation of
the door locking, of air conditioning
and of ESP system, it is necessary to
perform the initialisation operations
contained in the paragraph “If bat-
tery is to be disconnected” in the
chapter “In an emergency”. The external mechanical
connections are active
only when the doors are
unlocked.
In the event that the driver has
actuated central locking from the
inside and, after a collision, the
inertia switch has not actuated
the automatic door unlocking
function due to the loss of or
damage to the battery, access to
the passenger compartment will
not be possible from the outside.
