REFUELLING
Petrol engines:only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) no less than 95.
Diesel engines:only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty
due to the damage caused.
ENGINE START-UP
Petrol engines with manual gearbox:make sure the parking brake is pulled (instrument panel warning light x
on); put the gear lever to neutral; press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touching the accelerator, then turn
the ignition key or the Keyless System knob to AVVand release it as soon as the engine starts.
Engines with automatic electronic transmission (COMFORTRONIC): make sure the parking brake is pulled (in-
strument panel warning light xon) and the gear lever is to P; hold the clutch pedal pressed down to the floor
without touching the accelerator, then turn the ignition key or the Keyless System knob to AVVand release it as soon
as the engine starts.
Diesel engines:make sure the parking brake is pulled; put the gear lever to neutral; press the clutch pedal down
to the floor without touching the accelerator, then turn the ignition key or the Keyless System knob to MAR, and
wait for the instrument panel warning light mto go out, then turn immediately the ignition key or the Keyless
System knob to AVVand release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING OVER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
When functioning normally, the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures. For this reason do not park
the car over inflammable material, grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.: fire hazard.
K

It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation in-
volving steering system or steering
column modifications (e.g.: instal-
lation of anti-theft Device) that
could badly affect performance
and safety, cause the lapse of war-
ranty and also result in non-com-
pliance of the car with homologa-
tion requirements.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK
The steering column lock is
engaged automatically after remov-
ing the ignition key.IGNITION
SWITCH
The key can be turned to three dif-
ferent positions (fig. 6):
STOP: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices can be oper-
ated (e.g. CONNECT).
MAR: driving position correspond-
ing to: dashboard on and steering
column lock off. All the electrical
devices can be operated.
AVV: engine ignition. Release the
key as soon as the engine is started.If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to steal
your car), get a Lancia
Dealership to make sure it is still
functioning properly before you
start driving again.
Always remove the igni-
tion key when you get out
of the car. This will pre-
vent anyone from accidentally
working the controls. Remember
to apply the handbrake and, if
the car is faced down on a steep
slope engage the first gear. If it is
facing up, engage the reverse
gear.
IMPORTANTFor versions equip-
ped with the recognition system,
refer to paragraph “Recognition sys-
tem (Keyless System)” in this chap-
ter.

Versions with Keyless System
The steering column lock is
engaged when central door locking
is actuated by means of the remote
control. This condition is indicated
on the instrument panel display by
message “STEERING LOCKED
WHEN DOORS CLOSED”.

RECOGNITION
SYSTEM (KEYLESS
SYSTEM)
The Keyless System is a recognition
system controlled by device A
(fig. 17), called CID (Customer
Identification Device), which per-
forms the same functions as the key
provided with the remote control
supplied with the car. It does not
require any manual action since it
identifies the person that holds the
device as the owner of the car.
Therefore, it is enough for the dri-
ver to bring the CID device with
himself so that the car can recognize
him, allowing him to get into the carand start the engine without having
to use the key.
In any case, the CID device is
equipped with three buttons per-
forming the same functions as the
ordinary radio-frequency remote
control that enable the driver to
remotely operate on the car.
Moreover, it includes the key for the
mechanical emergency actuation of
the boot and door locks (in case the
CID device battery or the car battery
are run down).
The buttons perform the following
functions (fig. 18):
– button Bfor remote actuation of
central door opening and the simul-
taneous switching off of the elec-
tronic alarm– button Cfor remote actuation of
central door locking, boot locking
and the simultaneous switching on
of the electronic alarm
– button Dfor remote tailgate
opening
– led E(where required) to indi-
cate code sending to the electronic
alarm system receiver.
To remove emergency keyF
(fig. 19), take off cover G(fig. 20)
by levering at point H.

45
The emergency key actuates:
– the front door locks
– the boot lock
– the passenger’s airbag deactiva-
tion switch
– the rear side bag deactivation
switch. The CID device check is carried out
when the button inside the door
handle or on the boot is pressed: if
the Keyless System recognizes the
CID device, it disconnects the alarm
system and actuates the boot or door
opening mechanism.
Identification occurs only if the
CID owner is standing about 1 metre
far from the door that has to be
opened or from the boot.
IMPORTANTThe CID device
operation depends on several fac-
tors, such as the possible interfer-
ence with electromagnetic waves
emitted by external sources, the bat-
tery charge and the presence of
metal objects near the CID device
and the car. In any case, operations
can be carried out by means of the
emergency key included in the CID
device.To switch off the front passenger’s
airbag and the rear side bags, use
the emergency key included in the
CID device.
The CID owner must take the fol-
lowing precautions to be able to
have all the system functions avail-
able:
– For unlocking doors or boot, the
CID device must be outside the car
at a maximum distance of approx.
one meter from the handle involved.
– To actuate the ignition switch
functions, the CID device must be
inside the car.
– If the CID device is taken away
from the car (e.g. it is kept inside a
bag or in a pocket) the doors cannot
be locked and the car started any
more.
– If central locking has been acti-
vated from inside the car by pressing
the button on the driver’s door
panel, it will only be possible to get
into the car by pressing the button
on the CID device.

– 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.

53
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL
CID DEVICES
The Keyless System receiver can
recognize up to 4 CID devices.
If you have requested additional
CID devices, remember that the pro-
gramming operation must be carried
out simultaneously for all the CID
devices.
Therefore, should a new CID
device be necessary for whatever
reason, go to your Lancia
Dealership, bringing with you all
the keys and CID devices in your
possession, the CODE card, your ID
card and the documents that certify
car possession.MINISTERIAL HOMOLOGATION
In the respect of the legislation in
force in each country in the matter
of radio-frequency devices, please
note that for markets where trans-
mitter marking is requested, the
homologation number is printed on
the CID device.
The code marking may also be
printed on the CID and/ or the
receiver for versions/markets where
this is required.Used batteries pollute
the environment. Dispose
of them in the special
containers as specified by current
legislation. Keep batteries away
from open flames and high tem-
peratures. Keep away from chil-
dren.

CID DEVICE
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the CID device battery is almost
flat, system performance worsens. In
this case, the battery must replaced
with a new one of the same type that
can be purchased at common stores.

L0A0174b
Before opening a door,
check whether this opera-
tion can be performed
under safety conditions.
OPENING/CLOSING FROM THE
OUTSIDE
With the doors closed, either press
button Aor B(fig. 29) on the key grip
or insert and turn the key (fig. 30) in
one of the front doors.
IMPORTANTAlthough the pres-
ence of electromagnetic waves is not
harmful to the CID device, it can nev-
ertheless influence battery life cycle.
Avoid therefore to leave the CID for a
long time near electronic devices (e.g.
PC monitors, TV sets, etc.).
IMPORTANTElectronic devices
(e.g. mobile phones, PDA, etc.) can
influence the correct identification
of the CID device by the Keyless
System. It is advised to keep the CID
device apart from such devices, e.g.
into different pockets. To replace the battery:
– remove the small cover A(fig. 26)
by levering at point B
– take out the emergency key C
(fig. 27)
– replace the battery D(fig. 28)
inserting it with the pole (+) facing
upwards
– refit the emergency key
– refit the small cover by pressing it.
IMPORTANTIt is advised to avoid
touching the electric contacts exist-
ing inside the CID and to prevent
their contact with liquids or dust.
