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.

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.

To open it from inside the car, pull
leverA (fig. 73)at the side of the dri-
ver’s seat.
To lift the tailgate, use the grip lo-
cated between the two number plate
lights.When the tailgate is closed, it will
lock automatically, and can only be
reopened by using the key or pulling
leverA (fig. 73)inside the car.
IMPORTANTNever leave the keys
in the boot.
Use the handle situated in the inte-
rior trim of the tailgate A (fig. 74)to
lower it without getting your hands
dirty.
To close the tailgate, lower it and
press in the centre until you hear it
lock.

Do not work boot release
lever when the car is in
motion.
The addition of objects to
the rear parcel shelf or
tailgate (loudspeakers,
spoiler, etc.) may prevent the gas-
filled struts at the sides of the tail-
gate working properly. Items
arranged on the rear window shelf
could be thrown forwards and in-
jure passengers should you brake
sharply.
fig. 74
P4C00037
When using the boot,
make sure the load you are
carrying does not exceed
the permitted weight (see the
“Technical specifications” sec-
tion). Also ensure the items in the
boot are arranged properly to pre-
vent them being thrown forward
and injurying passengers should
you brake sharply.

To close the bonnet:
1)Hold the bonnet up with one
hand and, with the other, remove rod
A (fig. 82)from recess Cand replace
it in its clip B.
2)Lower the bonnet until it is about
20 cm (8 ins) above the engine com-
partment.
3)Let it fall: the bonnet closes auto-
matically.
Always make sure the
bonnet is closed properly
so it will not open while
travelling.
2)Lift lever B (fig. 81).
3)Lift the bonnet, and release the
support rod A (fig. 82)from its clip B.
4)Place the tip of the support rod in
recessCof the bonnet.

P4C00005
Important. The bonnet
might fall violently if the
support rod is not posi-
tioned properly.
Scarves, ties and loose
garmets can get caught in
moving parts. This can be
extremely dangerous.

P4C00006
If repairs need to be car-
ried out inside the engine
compartment when this is
still hot, be careful not to burn
yourself and keep away from the
electric fan as this may cut in at
any time, even if the key is re-
moved from the ignition switch.
Wait until the engine has cooled.

Europe and most other countries
world-wide.
In the event of front collisions at low
speed, the restraining action of the
seat belts is sufficient and the airbag
is not inflated.
For impacts against very deformable
or mobile objects (traffic sign poles,
heaps of gravel or snow, parked vehi-
cles), side impacts, wedging under
other vehicles or barriers (e.g. under
a truck or guard rail), the airbag is
not necessary and may even be unde-
sirable.
The fact that the airbag is not trig-
gered in these situations, this does not
signify a malfunction.
fig. 85
P4C00348
PASSENGER’S FRONT AIRBAG
The passenger side airbag was de-
signed and calibrated to protect a per-
son wearing seat belts.
When fully inflated, the bag will fill
most of the space between the dash-
board and the passenger. In a collision, an electronic control
unit processes the signals from a de-
celeration sensor and, where required,
inflates the airbag.
The bag inflates instantly and acts
as a soft protective barrier between
the front seat passengers and the
structures in front of them that could
cause injury. The bags deflate imme-
diately afterwards.
A passenger not wearing the seat
belt may crash into the bag before it
is fully inflated. In this case, the pro-
tection is considerably decreased.
The airbag, as a consequence, is not
a replacement for the use of seat belts
but rather a complement. We recom-
mend that seat belts are worn at all
times as prescribed by legislation inSEVERE DANGER:
if the car has a pas-
senger airbag, do
not place the child seat on the
front seat.
Manual deactivation
The passenger side airbag can be de-
activated if it is absolutely necessary
to carry a child in the front passenger
seat.
Turn the specific switch A (fig. 86)
inside the glove compartment on the
left-hand side with the ignition key.

GENERAL WARNINGS
The front and/or side airbags
(where fitted) can be triggered if
the car is subjected to consider-
able crashes or involved in an ac-
cident concerning the underbody
areas, such as a violent impact
against steps, kerbs or projecting
objects fastened to the ground,
falling into large holes or dips in
the road surface.
When the airbag is fired it emits
heat and a small amount of pow-
der. This is not harmful and does
not indicate the beginning of a fire.
Furthermore, the surface of the in-
flated bag and in the passenger
compartment may be covered with
a powdery residues. This powder
may irritate skin and eyes. In the
event of exposure, wash with mild
soap and water.
Go to a LANCIA Dealership as
soon as possible if the warning
light
ûcomes on when travelling
(to signal a fault) to have the prob-
lem repaired. The airbag system is guaranteed
for ten years. Contact a LANCIA
Dealership as the expiry data ap-
proaches.
After an accident which triggered
the airbags, go to a LANCIA Deal-
ership to have the entire safety sys-
tem, the electronic control unit, the
seat belts and the pretensioners re-
placed. The Dealership will also
check the intactness of the electri-
cal system.
Any diagnostic, repair or re-
placement operations concerning
the airbag system must exclusively
be carried out at a LANCIA Deal-
ership.
If you are having the car
scrapped, have the airbag system
deactivated at a LANCIA Dealer-
ship first.
If the car changes hands, the new
owner must be made aware of the
indications given above and be
given this Owner Handbook.The pretensioners (if electroni-
cally controlled), front airbags and
side airbags are activated by the
electronic control unit according
to the type of impact. Conse-
quently, missed activation of one
or more system components does
not indicate a fault in the system.
The instrument panel
warning light ûshould
come on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR and go out
after approximately four seconds.
Immediately contact a LANCIA
Dealership if the warning light ei-
ther does not come on or stays on
or comes on when travelling.
