THE LANCIA
CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from at-
tempted theft, it has been fitted with
an electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem called “Lancia CODE”, which is
currently considered the most effec-
tive way of protecting your car against
theft.This system is automatically
activated each time the engine is
switched off. Each ignition key, in
fact, contains an electronic device
which modulates a radio-frequency
signal emitted by a special aerial dur-
ing ignition. The modulated signal is
a “password” with which the control
unit recognises the key. Engine igni-
tion is enabled only if the key is recog-
nised by the system.THE KEYS
Three types of key (fig. 1) are sup-
plied with the car.
The car is always supplied with a
singleAkey and BorCkeys depend-
ing on the version:
– version without remote control,
twoBkeys;
– versions with door lock/unlock re-
mote control, one Bkey and one Ckey;
KeyA, with a burgundy grip, is the
“master” key. Only one of these keys
is provided, and it is used to store the
codes of new keys replacing ones that
have been lost or damaged, or when
storing duplicate key codes. Given its
importance, it should be kept in a safe
place (not in the car) and only be
used when absolutely necessary.
No repairs can be carried out on
the Lancia CODE system or the en-
gine control unit if this key is lost.KeyB, with a black grip, is the key
that is to be used normally. It will:
– start the engine
– unlock/lock the doors
– unlock/lock the boot
– unlock/lock the fuel tank cap.
– deactivate the passenger airbag.
KeyC, (which may be supplied as
an alternative to the Bkey), has the
same functions as key B, plus the re-
mote control function for the door
lock/unlock system.
The key is supplied together with the
CODE card (fig. 2) which bears:
D- the electronic code to be used for
emergency starting (see “In an emer-
gency”);

G
E- the mechanical key code to be
given to the LANCIA Dealership
when ordering duplicate keys;
F- the spaces for stickers bearing
the code of any remote controls pro-
vided.
The code numbers on the CODE
card and the key with the burgundy
grip must be kept in a safe place.
You should keep the electronic code
written on the CODE card with you
at all times in case it is necessary to
start the car using the emergency pro-
cedure.
OPERATION
Each time the ignition key is turned
toSTOPorPARK, the protection
system will immobilise the engine.When the key is turned to MARat
engine startup:
1)If the code is recognised, the
warning lamp ¢on the instrument
panel will flash briefly; this means
that the protection system has recog-
nised the key code and disabled the
engine immobiliser; turn the key to
AVVto start.
2)If the code is not recognised, the
warning lamp ¢and the warning
lamp will remain lit. Should this
happen, turn the key back
toSTOPand then to MAR; if the en-
gine remains immobilised, try using
the other keys supplied with the car.
If you are still unable to start the en-
gine, use the emergency starting pro-
cedure (see “In an emergency”), and
take your car immediately to the
nearestLANCIA Dealership.
When travelling with the ignition
key on MAR:
1)If the warning lamp ¢lights up
while the car is moving, it means that
the system is running a self-diagnosis
(e.g. due to a voltage drop). The first time you stop you can test
the system: turn the ignition key to
STOPto switch off the engine then to
MARagain. Warning lamp ¢will
switch on and should switch off again
after about 1 second.
If the warning light remains on, re-
peat the previous operations again
leaving the key at STOPfor more
than 30 seconds. If the fault persists,
contact a LANCIA Dealership.
2)If the warning lamp ¢flashes it
means that the car is not protected by
the immobiliser. Contact your LAN-
CIA Dealershipimmediately and get
them to store the codes of all the keys
in the memory.
IMPORTANTThe electronic com-
ponents inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is subjected to sharp
knocks.
IMPORTANTEach key given with
the car has its own code, different
from all the others, which must be
stored in the memory of the system’s
control unit.

DUPLICATE KEYS
If you ask for extra keys, remember
that all the keys, both the new ones
and those you already possess, must
be stored in the memory (up to a
maximum of 7). Go directly to your
nearestLANCIA Dealership, taking
with you the burgundy “master” key,
all the keys in your possession and the
CODE card. The LANCIA Dealer-
shipmay ask you to demonstrate that
you own the car.
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 prevent any lost
keys being used to start the car.
The burgundy key, plus
all the other keys, and the
CODE card must be
handed over to the new owner
when selling the car.Ministerial homologation
With respect to the legislation in
force in each country on the use of ra-
dio frequencies:
– the market specific homologation
codes are given in the chapter “Ac-
cessory installation”;
– the homologation code is printed
on the ignition key-remote control for
the markets which require it.DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK
REMOTE CONTROL (fig. 3)
The remote control is built into the
ignition key. It consists of a button C
and a LED D. The button operates
the control and the LED flashes while
the transmitter is sending the code to
the receiver.
This a radio-frequency remote con-
trol and must be used close to the car.

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can turn through four posi-
tions(fig. 5):
–STOP:engine off, key can be re-
moved and the steering column is
locked. Some electrical devices can be
used (e.g. sound system, central door
lock, etc.).
–MAR:drive position. All electrical
devices can be used.
–AVV:to start the engine.–PARK:engine off, parking lights
lit, key can be removed, steering col-
umn locked. Press button Ato turn
the key to PARK.
fig. 5
P4C00324
If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to steal
your car), get a LANCIA Dealer-
ship to make sure it is still func-
tioning properly before you start
driving again.
Always remove the key
when leaving the car so
that the controls cannot be
accidentally activated. Engage the
handbrake, and if the car is facing
uphill engage the first gear too.
With the car facing downhill en-
gage the reverse gear. Never leave
children alone in the car.

CHANGING THE BATTERIES
(fig. 4)
Change the remote control batteries
when the LED on the remote control
flashes once only when pressed.
Change the batterie with a similar
type as follows: open the plastic cov-
ers; insert the new batterie respecting
the polarity shown; close the plastic
covers.
Used batteries are an en-
vironmental hazard. Dis-
pose of them in appropri-
ate containers as prescribed by the
law. Alternatively, take the batter-
ies to a LANCIA Dealership who
will dispose of them correctly.

WARNING LIGHTS
The warning lights will come on in
the following cases:
LOW ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE (red)
When the pressure of the
engine oil falls below the normal level.
When the key is turned to MAR, the
light comes on but should go out the
moment the engine is started.
A delay in the light going out is only
acceptable if the engine is idling.
If the engine has been taxed heavily,
the light might flash when idling but
should go out on accelerating slightly.
v
BATTERY NOT
RECHARGED
PROPERLY (red)
When there is a fault in the current
generating system.
Contact a LANCIA Dealership as
soon as possible to prevent draining
the battery.
The warning lamp will light up when
the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
should go out as soon as the engine
has started.
w
If the warning lamp v
lights up while the car is
moving, switch the engine
off and get in touch with a LANCIA
Dealership.
HANDBRAKE ON/
LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL (red)
In three cases:
1.When the handbrake is engaged.
2.When the brake fluid level falls be-
low the minimum.
3.With the >warning light to indi-
cate an EBD electronic brake force
corrector failure.
x
If the xwarning light
comes on when travelling,
check whether the hand-
brake is engaged. If the warning
light stays on and the handbrake
is not engaged, stop immediately
and contact a LANCIA Dealership.
AIRBAG MALFUNCTION
(red)
When the system is ineffi-
cient.
û
The instrument panel
warning light should come
on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR and go out after ap-
proximately four seconds. Imme-
diately contact a LANCIA Dealer-
ship if the warning light either
does not come on or stays on when
travelling.
DOORS NOT CLOSED
PROPERLY (red)
When a door is not fully
closed.

LANCIA CODE
(amber)
In three ways (with ignition
key at MAR):
1.A single flash - indicates that the
key code has been recognised. The en-
gine can be started.
2.A constant light - indicates that the
key code has not been recognised. To
start the engine, follow the emergency
startup procedure described in the “In
an emergency” section.
3.A flashing light - indicates that the
car is not protected by the immo-
biliser system. The engine can be
started however.
¢
ABS (ANTI-LOCKING
SYSTEM) FAILURE
(amber)
When the ABS system is inefficient.
The normal braking system continues
to work but you should have the car
seen to at a LANCIA Dealershipas
soon as you can.
The warning lamp will light up when
you turn the key to MAR, but it
should go out as soon as the engine
starts.
>
The car is fitted with an
electronic brake distribu-
tor (EBD). If warning lights
>andxlight up simultaneously
when the engine is running, this
indicates an EBD fault. This
means that violent braking could
cause early locking of the rear
wheels causing the car to skid.
Drive very carefully to the nearest
LANCIA Dealership to have the
system checked.EOBD SELF-
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
(amber)
In normal conditions, the warning
light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to MARand should go
out as soon as the engine is started.
The initial lighting up shows that the
warning light is working properly.
If the warning light either stays on or
comes on while travelling:
1.Fixed light - warning of a fuel
feed/ignition system failure which
If only warning light>
switches on when the en-
gine is running, this usu-
ally indicates an ABS fault. In such
cases the braking system is still ef-
ficient, although the anti-locking
device does not function. The EBD
system may also be less efficient.
Go to a LANCIA Dealership imme-
diately, taking care not to brake
suddenly, and have the system
checked.HAZARD LIGHTS
(red) (flashing)
When the hazard lights are
switched on.

may increase emissions in exhaust or
cause possible drops in performance,
poor handling and high consumption.
In such conditions, you can continue
driving but you should not tax the en-
gine and you should moderate the
speed. Prolonged use with the warn-
ing light on can cause damage. Con-
tact a LANCIA Dealershipas soon
as possible.
The warning light will go out when
the failure disappears. In any case, the
system will store the error.
2.Flashing light - warning that the
catalyser can be damaged (see
“EOBD system” in this chapter).
If the warning light starts flashing, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and slow
the engine until the warning light
stops flashing. Continue driving at
moderate speed, preventing the warn-
ing light from coming on again. Con-
tact a LANCIA Dealershipas soon
as possible.PASSENGER AIRBAG
DEACTIVATED
(amber)
When the passenger airbag has been
deactivated by means of the specific
key switch.The warning light should
come on for approximately
four seconds and flash for
other four seconds only when the
key is turned to MAR and the pas-
senger’s front airbag switch is
turned to ON. If the warning light
either does not come on or comes
on when travelling, stop immedi-
ately and contact a LANCIA Deal-
ership.Contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship as soon as possible if
the warning light ei-
ther does not come on when the
key is turned to MAR or comes on,
with fixed or flashing light, when
travelling.
BRAKE LIGHTS
FAULTY (amber)
When one of the brake light
bulbs fails to work. A fault in the
third brake light is not indicated.
