tures and details; you will also find essential information for car care and servicing as well as driving
and operating safety not to mention the long-term wellbeing of your LANCIA.
The enclosed Warranty Booklet lists the services you have acquired and contains details relating to

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.

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.

by light switch and steering column
stalks can only be activated with the
ignition key at MAR, excluding the
parking lights that are switched on
only with key at STOPor removed.

manually or automatically accord-
ing to daylight intensity.LIGHT SWITCH (fig. 94)

sole light up.Dipped beam headlights
These lights come on when you
turn ring Ato 2.
Parking lights

removed, turn ring Ato Fto switch
the parking lights on (side/tail-
lights), the relevant instrument
panel warning light will come on.
When parking lights are on, move
the left stalk downwards to switch
on only the left side lights and move
it upwards to switch on only the
right side lights. In this case the
number plate lights and the instru-
ment panel warning light will not

Rain sensor failure
In case of sensor malfunctioning,
intermittent wiping is activated with
the sensitivity level set manually,
regardless of the rain.
In this case it is recommended to
deactivate the rain sensor and acti-
vate continuous wiping (1
stor
2ndspeed); contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible. The rain sensor must be
deactivated (or key at
STOP) when cleaning the
windscreen (e.g. at service sta-
tions). The rain sensor must be
deactivated also when washing
the car manually or at automatic
washing stations.
The sensor rain is able to recognize
and automatically adjust itself in
the presence of the following partic-
ular conditions, which need a differ-
ent intervention sensitivity:
– impurities on the control surface
(salt, dirt, etc.)
– straks of water caused by worn
wiper blades
– difference between day and
night(the human eye is more dis-
turbed at night by the wet surface of
the glass).
In the event of ice on the
windscreen, make sure to
have disconnected the
device to prevent wiper motor
damages.
