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”.
IMPORTANTIn 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.
IMPORTANTDo 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
buttonAorB(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.

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.

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:
–Bbutton 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.

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

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.

MANUALLY ADJUSTABLE SEATS
(Moving the seats backwards or
forwards) (fig. 39)
Lift lever Aand push the seat for-
wards or backwards: you are in the cor-
rect position for driving when your
hands are resting on the steering wheel
rim and your arms are slightly bent. FRONT SEATS
Only adjust the driver’s
seat when the car is sta-
tionary.
Once you have lever
released the lever, check
that the seat is firmly
locked in the runners by trying to
move it back and forth. Failure to
lock the seat in place could result
in the seat moving suddenly and
dangerously.ELECTRICALLY ADJUSTABLE
SEATS
Electric adjustment of seats is pos-
sible under one of the following con-
ditions:
– ignition switch to MAR
– for approx. 1 minute after
removing the ignition key or turning
it to STOP
– for approx. 3 minutes with key
removed or turned to STOPand
with door open.
The seat adjustment controls are:

Upholstery of your car
has been designed to with-
stand wear deriving from
common use of the car. You are
however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous scratch-
ing with clothing accessories such
as metallic buckles, studs, Velcro
fastenings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress
of the cover fabric that could lead
to yarn breaking, and damage the
cover as a consequence.

STORING THE DRIVER’S SEAT
POSITIONS (fig. 46)
The system allows to store and
recall three different driver’s seat
positions and external rear view mir-
ror positions.
Seat position memorization also
includes the head restraint adjust-
ment in height, the position of the
external rear view mirrors and of the
steering wheel (only versions with
electric adjustment).
The seat, external rear view mirror
and steering wheel positions can
only be stored when the ignition key
is at MAR.Adjust the position of the seat,
head restraint, external rear view
mirrors and steering wheel by means
of the relevant controls, then press
for about 3 seconds any of buttons
“1”, “2” or “3” each corresponding
to one stored position, until a confir-
mation beep is heard.
When memorising the seat posi-
tions, also the head restraint, electric
rear view mirror and steering wheel
positions are memorised.
The previously stored position will
automatically be deleted when a new
position is stored under the same
button.
IMPORTANTSeat position mem-
orization does not include lumbar
adjustment and heating actuation.
Recalling stored positions
With the key in position MAR, any
stored position can be recalled by
briefly pressing the respective but-
ton “1”, “2” or “3”. The seat will
move automatically and stop in the
stored position.
fig. 46
L0A0152b

63
Stored position are recalled only if
the required position is different
from the current one and is not pos-
sible when the car speed exceeds 10
km/h.
Seats can be moved only when the
ignition key is at MARand, for
about 1 minute, also after removing
the key or turning it to STOP: dur-
ing this time, the external rear view
mirrors will not move, but when the
car is started again, they will be
automatically realigned together
with the seat position (see paragraph
“Automatic realignment of external
rear view mirrors”).
If stored seat position recalling is
still in course after this time has
elapsed, recalling will be concluded
in any case.If the engine is started during the
recalling stage, seat moving will be
stopped; once this stage is over the
seat will return automatically to the
stored position.
IMPORTANTPressing any of
memorisation or adjustment buttons
during the recalling stage, causes the
immediate stop of the seat (antipan-
ic mode).
Storing the “parking” position of
the external rear view mirror on
passenger side
You can achieve better visibility
during manoeuvres in reverse gear
(for instance, when parking the car)
by adjusting the external passenger
rear view mirror to a different posi-
tion from the one normally used.
This position can be stored by the
driver.To store the position proceed as
follows:
– with the car stopped and the igni-
tion key at MAR, engage the reverse
gear;
– adjust the position of the external
passenger rear view mirror by means
of the respective controls so as to
obtain the optimum position for the
parking manoeuvre;
– press down for at least 3 seconds
any of buttons “1”, “2” or “3” (fig.
46) used to store/recall the seat posi-
tion;
– together with the “parking” posi-
tion of the external passenger side
rear view mirror, also the seat posi-
tion, the driver rear view mirror
position and the driving position of
the external passenger side rear view
mirror are stored.
A sound signal warns the driver
that the mirror position has been
stored.
