The codes of any keys
that are not available
when the new storage pro-
cedure is carried out will be
deleted from the memory to pre-
vent any lost or stolen keys being
used to start the engine.IMPORTANTIf symbol Ylights
up when the car is running:
1) If the symbol lights up together
with the message “VEHICLE PRO-
TECTION SYSTEM FAULT”, this
means that the system is running a
self-test (e.g. due to a voltage drop).
The first time you stop, you can test
the system as follows: switch the en-
gine off by turning the ignition key to
STOPthen turn the key back to
MAR: the symbol will light up and go
out in about 1 second. If the symbol
remains on, repeat the above proce-
dure, leaving the key at STOPfor
longer than 30 seconds. If the prob-
lem persists, contact your Lancia
Dealership.
2) If the symbol stays on, this
means that the code has not been
recognised. In this case, turn the key
toSTOPand then back to MAR. If
the engine remains immobilised, try
with the other keys provided with
the car. If you are still unable to
start the engine, carry out the emer-
gency procedure (see chapter “In an
emergency”), and contact your
Lancia Dealership.THE KEY

37
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.

41
SWITCHING THE ALARM OFF
To switch the alarm off, press the
key button A(fig. 14).
The following actions will be car-
ried out by the system (with the
exception of certain markets):
– the direction indicators will flash
twice;
– two beeps will be heard;
– driver’s door or doors unlocking,
depending on the setting selected on
the CONNECT menu.
IMPORTANTWhen operating the
central door unlocking with the
metal insert of the key, the alarm is
not deactivated.VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION
Do not leave passengers or pets in
the parked car and completely close
the windows and the sunroof to
ensure the correct operation of the
volumetric sensors. Furthermore,
make sure that the doors, bonnet
and boot/tailgate are properly
closed.
To deactivate the volumetric
protection, press button A(fig. 16)
on the front ceiling light: when the
function is off, the button warning
light will flash for about 3 seconds
and then goes out.
Protection cut out stays on until
activating the central door opening
again.
IMPORTANTVolumetric protec-
tion shall be deactivated after about
1 minute from turning the key to
STOP. To deactivate the volumetric
protection after this period, turn the
key to MARand then to STOP
again.ANTI-LIFTING SENSOR
The anti-lifting sensor detects vari-
ations in slant to signal lifting or
partial lifting (e.g. to remove a
wheel) of the car.
The sensor can detect minimal
variations in cat trim along both the
longitudinal axis and the transversal
axis. Variations in trim lower than
0.5°/min. (such as, for example, a
slow deflating tyre) are not take into
account.
To switch the anti-lifting protec-
tion off, press button B(fig. 16) on
the front ceiling light: when the
function is off, the button warning
light will flash for about 3 seconds
and then goes out.To ensure correct opera-
tion of the volumetric pro-
tection system, before acti-
vating the alarm, check that win-
dows and sunroof (where pro-
vided) are perfectly closed.

42
IMPORTANTThe anti-lifting sen-
sor shall be deactivated after about 1
minute from turning the key to
STOP. To deactivate the anti-lifting
sensor after this period, turn the key
toMARand then to STOPagain.
Sensor cut out stays on until acti-
vating the central door opening
again.
WHAT TRIGGERS THE ALARM
OFF
The alarm will be triggered off in
the following conditions:
– if a door, the bonnet or the
boot/tailgate is opened;
– if the battery or electric cables
are disconnected or cut;
– if there is an intrusion in the pas-
senger compartment, e.g. a broken
window (volumetric protection);
– if an attempt is made to start the
engine (key at MAR);
– if an attempt has been made to
lift the car.According to the markets, the
alarm can operate the siren and the
direction indicators (for about 25
seconds). The intervention modality
and the number of cycles can vary
according to the markets.
A maximum number of acoustic/
visual cycles is foreseen in all cases.
After the alarm cycle, the system
returns to its normal surveillance
function.
INDICATIONS OF ATTEMPTS
TO BREAK IN
The alarm system indicates the
attempts to break in stored by the
control unit, through the lighting up
on the instrument panel display of
symbolYtogether with the mes-
sage “BREAK IN ATTEMPT”.
DEACTIVATING THE ALARM
To completely deactivate the elec-
tronic alarm (for example, if the car
is to be stored for a long period of
time), simply lock the car turning
the key in the lock.FUNCTIONS THAT CAN BE
DEACTIVATED
OR MODIFIED
The functions that can be directly
deactivated:
– volumetric protection, which can
be disconnected by means of button
A(fig. 16) set on the front ceiling
light: when the function is off, the
button warning light flashes for
about 3 seconds and then goes out;
– anti-lifting protection, which can
be disconnected by means of button
B(fig. 16) set on the front ceiling
light: when the function is off, the
button warning light flashes for
about 3 seconds and then goes out.

43
The functions that can be modified
through the CONNECT system
menu are:
– boot lock release by actuating
central door opening (*);
– central door and tailgate locking
when the car speed exceeds 20
km/h, without actuation of the
deadlock device.
(*) When this function is discon-
nected to lock the boot lock when
the boot is closed, even if the doors
were closed, the remote control or
the key must be used, as it is nor-
mally the case with the doors; thus,
the boot can be opened with the
handle in the event that the key is
left inside the lock.MINISTERIAL HOMOLOGATION
In the respect of the legislation in
force in each country in the matter
of radio-frequency devices, please
note that the homologation number
is printed on the component for
markets where this is required.
IMPORTANTThe code marking
may also be printed on the transmit-
ter and/or the receiver for ver-
sions/markets where this is required.EASY ENTRY/EXIT
SYSTEM
Versions provided with electric
steering wheel adjustment may also
incorporate the Easy Entry/Exit sys-
tem, which allows the driver to get
into and out of the car with
improved ease.
In the cars provided with this sys-
tem, the steering wheel lifts and the
seat goes back before the driver gets
out of the car.
The function is actuated when the
door is opened but only if the igni-
tion key is at STOPor has been
removed.
When the driver opens the door to
get into the car, both the seat and
the steering wheel have already gone
back. The seat and the steering
wheel will return to their normal dri-
ving position after the driver has sat,
closed the door and turned the key
toMAR.

RECOGNITION
SYSTEM(KEYLESS
SYSTEM)
(where provided)
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 withhimself so that the car can recognize
him, allowing him to get into the car
and 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.
