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.

IMPORTANTThe climate control
is very useful for speeding up demist-
ing because it dries the air. Simply
adjust the controls for the demisting
function and turn on the climate con-
trol by pressing button
√.
IMPORTANTThe versions with cli-
mate control have a factory-fitted
pollen filter.
IMPORTANTThe climate control
compressor will be temporarily ex-
cluded when accelerating sharply, and
reengaged after an established period
of time.STEERING
COLUMN STALKS

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.

The switch has two positions:
1)Passenger side airbag on: (posi-
tion ON ) instrument panel warn-
ing light off. Do not carry children on
the front seat.
2)Passenger side airbag off: (posi-
tion OFF ) instrument panel warn-
ing light on. A child can be carried on
the front seat with a suitable restraint
system.
The instrument panel warning light
will stay on until the passenger
side airbag is reactivated. SIDE BAGS (fig. 87)
The purpose of the side bag fitted in
the seat is to protect the front seat
passengers in the event of a side im-
pacts of medium to high degree.
The device consists of a bag housed
in the front seat backs which imme-
diately inflates. This solution ensures
that the bag is in an optimal position
regardless of the seat position.
In the event of a side impact, the
control unit processes the signals from
a deceleration sensor and fires the side
bag.
The bag inflates instantly and acts
as a soft protective barrier between
the front seat passengers and car
door. The bags deflates immediately
afterwards.In the event of side collisions at low
speed, the restraining action of the
seat belts is sufficient and the airbag
is not inflated. Also in this case, seat
belts should be worn at all times.
They ensure the passenger is correctly
positioned in the seat in the event of
side crash and prevent the passenger
from being projected from the vehicle
in the event of a very violent crash.
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 in
Europe and most other countries
world-wide.
