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,DandE
(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
symbolYaccompanied by the mes-
sage “DISCHARGED REMOTE
CONTROL BATTERY”. 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.

KEY BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the remote control battery is run
down, the symbol Ywill appear on
the instrument display, together
with the message “DISCHARGED
REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY”.
In this case, the battery must
replaced with a new one of the same
type that can be purchased at com-
mon stores.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.To replace the battery:
– press button B(fig. 11) and
move the metal insert Ato open
position;
– remove the small cover C(fig. 12)
by levering at point D.
– replace battery E(fig. 13) by
placing it with the pole (+) facing
upwards;
– refit the small cover by pressing
it.

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.
