could badly affect performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the car with type-
approval requirements.6)Never remove the key while the car is
moving. The steering wheel will
automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
This holds true for cars being towed as

KNOWING YOUR CAR

THE LANCIA CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted thefts of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
Each key contains an electronic device
which modulates the signal emitted
during ignition by an antenna built into
the ignition device. The signal is the
"password", different every time the
vehicle is started, through which the
control unit recognises the key and
enables starting.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR, the Lancia
CODE system control unit sends an
acknowledgement code to the
Powertrain Control Module to
deactivate the immobiliser. The code is
sent only if the control unit of the Lancia
CODE system has acknowledged the
code received from the key.Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Lancia CODE system
deactivates the functions of the
management engine control unit. If,
during starting, the code is not correctly
recognised, the
warning light
switches on in the instrument panel. In
this case, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR-ON; if it is still locked, try
again with the other keys that come
with the car. Contact a Lancia
Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.
If the
warning light switches on, this
means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (for example due to
a voltage drop). If the problem persists,
contact a Lancia Dealership.
DOORS

DOORS FROM THE
INSIDE
To lock the doors, press the

it will no longer be possible to unlock

Proceed as follows:
Remove the head restraints by
pulling them upwards as described in
the "Headrests" paragraph in this
chapter;
move the seat belts to the side,
making sure that they are correctly
extended and not twisted;
press release button A fig. 10 to fold

braking, with possible impact with of the
passengers.
WARNING
4)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term
wear deriving from normal use of the car.
Some precautions are however required.
Avoid prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as
metal buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in
a small area, could cause it to break,
thereby damaging the upholstery.
5)Before tilting the backrest, remove any
objects on the seat cushion.

FRONT HEAD
RESTRAINTS
They are height-adjustable: to adjust
them operate as follows.
Upwards adjustment: raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downward adjustment:press button
A fig. 11 and lower the head restraint.
"Anti-Whiplash" device
The head restraints are equipped with
an “Anti-Whiplash” device, which
reduces the distance between head
and head restraint in the event of a rear
impact, thus mitigating the "whiplash"
effect.The head restraint may move when the
backrest is pressed by the occupant’s
torso or hand: this behaviour is caused
by the system and should not be
considered a malfunction.
REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Two height-adjustable head restraints
are provided for the rear seats. On
some versions a head restraint is also
provided for the central seat.
Upwards adjustment: raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downward adjustment:press button
A fig. 12 and lower the head restraint.
Removal
Proceed as follows to remove the head
restraints:
raise the head restraints to their
maximum height;
press buttons A and B fig. 12 at the
side of the two supports, then remove
the head restraints by pulling them
upwards.
IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used,
always set the head restraints in the
"completely raised" position.
WARNING
12)All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary. Head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only in this case
they can protect your head correctly.
13)To make the best use of the head
restraint's protective action, adjust the
backrest so that you are sitting upright and
keep your head as close as possible to
the head restraint.

for the exterior lights to switch on.
The instrument panel and the various
dashboard controls will come on with
the external lights.AUTOMATIC LIGHT
CONTROL (AUTOLIGHT)
(Dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This infrared LED sensor, combined
with the rain sensor and located on the
windscreen, detects the variations in
outside brightness depending on the
light sensitivity set with the Setup
Menu: the greater the sensitivity, the
less external light is required to activate
the exterior lights.
Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring
nut A fig. 17 is turned to
. In this
way the side lights and dipped beam
headlights are activated automatically
according to the external light level.
When the lights are turned on by the
sensor, the fog lights (for versions/
markets, where provided) and the rear
fog lights may be turned on. When
the lights are automatically switched off,
the front and rear fog lights (if
activated) are also switched off. The
next time the lights are switched on
automatically, the fog lights must be
reactivated manually (if required).

malfunctioning, the side lights and
dipped beam headlights are switched
on irrespective of the outside light
level and the sensor failure is indicated
on the display. It is also possible to
deactivate the sensor and switch on the
side lights and dipped beam headlights.
IMPORTANT The sensor cannot detect
the presence of fog. These lights must
therefore be switched on manually in
these circumstances.DAYTIME RUNNING
