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.

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.

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.

CLOCK
Press control A (fig. 36)to adjust the
hour.
Press control Bto adjust the minutes.
Each time one of the control buttons
is pressed, the hours (A) or the min-
utes (B) will move forwards one unit. Even travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case it is better to stop
and turn off the engine. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.FUEL GAUGE (fig. 35)
If reserve warning light Bcomes on
it means there are between 5 and 8
litres of fuel left in the tank.
Do not drive when the tank is nearly
empty: possible changes in fuel deliv-
ery could damage the catalyser.
If the situation persists
even after the measures
you have taken, turn off
the engine and have the car seen to
at a LANCIA Dealership.

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.

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.

dow on/off. It will switch on the door
mirrors demisting device at the same
time, if this feature is included.
D- To switch the climate control
system on and off.
FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
This is a safety cut-out which comes
into play in the case of an accident
and blocks the fuel supply, thereby
stopping the engine.
After an accident, turn the igni-
tion key to STOP to prevent the
battery running down. CONTROL BUTTONS (fig. 55)
These are situated between the cen-
tre air vents.
They only function when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
All buttons light up when pressed in. The use of hazard lights
is subject to the highway
code. Keep to the prescrip-
tions in force in the country you
are driving in.

A- To switch the front foglights
on/off. These lights can only be
switched on if the outside lights are
already on.
B- To switch the rear foglights on/
off. These lights can only be switched
on if the dipped headlights and/or the
front foglights are already on.
The rear foglights will automatically
be turned off when the engine is
switched off or when switching from
dipped beam headlights and/or front
foglights to side lights.
When the engine is restarted or
the dipped headlights are switched
back on in the presence of fog, the
rear foglight button must be
pressed to switch the rear foglights
on again.

Incorrect use of the elec-
tric windows could be
dangerous. Before and
when pressing the switches, always
make sure that passengers are not
liable to injury either directly by
the movement of the windows or
by personal effects being dragged
along or knocked by the windows.
Always remove the ignition key
when getting out of the car to make
sure that the electric windows can-
not be accidentally operated and
constitute a hazard for passengers
remaining in the car.
The door handle on the passenger
side has a button to control that par-
ticular window. IMPORTANTFor versions with
door locking/unlocking remote con-
trol, see the “Lancia CODE system -
Door lock/unlock remote control”
paragraph at the beginning of this
chapter.
IMPORTANTIf one of the doors is
not shut properly or there is a failure
in the system, the central locking fea-
ture will not work and, after some at-
tempts, the device stops working for
around two minutes. In these two min-
utes the doors can be locked or un-
locked manually without the electrical
system coming into play. After the two
minutes, the control unit is ready to
receive commands once more.
If the reason for the malfunction has
been removed, the device will start to
work properly again. If not, it will cut
out once more.ELECTRIC WINDOWS
The electric windows are controlled
by two buttons situated in the inside
handle of the driver’s door (fig. 71).
They work when the ignition key is at
MAR:
A- left window;
B- right window.
Press the switch to open the window,
and pull it up to close it: this means
the window cannot be closed acci-
dentally.
On the LX and 1.2
16VM M Nredver-
sions, if the driver’s window switch is
pressed for about one second, the win-
dow will work automatically: it will
stop when it is fully opened or closed
or when the switch is pressed again.

In the case of failure, although the
anti-locking system is no longer avail-
able, the car braking capacity is not
interfered with.
If you have never driven a car with
ABS it is advised to familiarise by
making a few preliminary trials on
slippery ground, obviously maintain-
ing safety conditions and respecting
the Highway Code of the country
where you are travelling. Before start-
ing, read carefully the notes below.
The advantage of ABS as compared
with the traditional system is that it
permits maximum manoeuvrability
even when pressing the brakes right
down on roads with poor grip, pre-
venting the wheels from locking.
However, this does not mean that
with ABS the braking distance is al-
ways reduced. For example, on soft
gravel surfaces or fresh snow on a
slippery surface the distance could in-
crease.In order to get the best out of the
anti-lock system when necessary, fol-
low these hints.
If the ABS triggers it
means that the car is
reaching the limit of ad-
herence between the tyres and the
road surface. Slow down to adapt
the speed to the road grip.
ABS exploits the avail-
able grip, but it is not able
to increase it. Therefore
drive carefully on slippery surfaces
and do not take undue risks.
If there is a system fail-
ure, indicated by warning
light>lighting up on the
instrument panel, drive slowly and
go immediately to a LANCIA Deal-
ership to have the system checked.
When braking round a bend be very
careful, even with the aid of ABS.
However, the most important advice
is the following:
When the ABS switches
on and you feel the pedal
throbbing, no not lighten
the pressure, but keep the pedal
pressed well down and do not
worry. In this way you will be able
to stop within the minimum dis-
tance possible, according to the
road surface.
Following these instructions you will
be always have the best braking con-
ditions.

STARTING
THE ENGINEIf the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
toSTOPbefore trying to start the en-
gine again.
If warning light ¢remains lit to-
gether with the warning light
when the ignition key is at MAR,
turn the key to STOPand then to
MAR; if the warning light still re-
mains lit, try with the other keys pro-
vided with the car.
If you are still unable to start the en-
gine, follow the emergency startup
procedure (see “Emergency startup”
in the section “In an emergency”) and
go to the nearest LANCIA Dealer-
shipimmediately.
IMPORTANTDo not leave the ig-
nition key at MARwhen the engine is
off.
The ignition switch fits a safety de-
vice. If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
toSTOPbefore trying to start the en-
gine again.
In a similar way, you will not be able
to turn the key from MARtoAVV
when the engine is running.It is dangerous to let the
engine run in a garage or
other closed area. The en-
gine consumes oxygen and gives
off carbon dioxide, carbon monox-
ide and other poisonous fumes.
Do not touch the high
voltage cables (spark plug
cables) when the engine is
running.
During the running-in
period do not push the car
up to its highest perfor-
mance (e.g. sudden accelerations,
very long drives at high speed,
sharp braking etc.)
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANTDo not press on the
accelerator before the engine is run-
ning.
1)Make sure the handbrake is up.
2)Put the gear lever into neutral.
3)Press the clutch pedal down to the
floor.
4)Turn the ignition key to AVVand
let it go the moment the engine starts.

HOW TO WARM UP
THE ENGINE AFTER
IT HAS JUST STARTED
– Begin to move forward slowly let-
ting the engine turn over at medium
revs. Do not accelerate abruptly.
– Do not push the engine to its limit
for the first few kilometres. You are
recommended to wait until the water
temperature has reached 50°C to
60°C (pointer moves slightly from its
initial position).
EMERGENCY STARTING
If the Lancia CODE system fails to
recognise the code transmitted by the
ignition key (warning lamp ¢on in-
strument panel lit with a fixed light),
you can start the engine by following
the emergency procedure using the
code written on the CODE card.
See the section “In an emergency”.STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOPwhile
the engine is idling.
Remember that as long as
the engine is not running,
the brake booster and
power steering do not work. You
therefore have to use considerably
more effort on both the brake
pedal and the steering wheel.
Bump starting by push-
ing, towing or rolling
downhill must be avoided
at all costs. This way of starting
could cause a rush of fuel into the
catalytic exhaust pipe and damage
it beyond repair.
BUMP STARTING
A quick burst on the ac-
celerator before turning off
the engine serves ab-
solutely no practical purpose, and
wastes fuel.
IMPORTANTAfter a taxing drive it
is better to allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by let-
ting it idle to allow the temperature in
the engine compartment to fall.
