The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 3:
STOP: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. audio
system, central door locking system,
etc.) can operate;
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
AVV: engine starting.
The ignition device is fitted with a safety
system that requires the ignition key
to be turned back to STOP if the engine
does not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.STEERING LOCK

Activation
When the key is at STOP, remove the
key and turn the steering wheel until
it locks.
Deactivation
Move the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR-ON
WARNING
3)If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by a Lancia Dealership
before driving again.
4)Always remove the key when you leave
your car to prevent someone from
accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the handbrake.
Engage 1
stgear if the car is parked uphill or
reverse if the car is parked downhill. Never
leave children unattended in the vehicle.
5)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that
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
well.

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
LOCKING/UNLOCKING
DOORS FROM THE
INSIDE
To lock the doors, press the
fig. 4
button. The button has an LED that
indicates whether the doors are locked
or unlocked:
LED on: doors locked.
LED off: doors unlocked.
Once the doors have been locked via
the remote control or the key pawl,
it will no longer be possible to unlock
them by pressing the
button.
In the absence of electrical power
supply (blown fuse, battery
disconnected, etc.) it is still possible to
lock the doors manually.

function, as described for the
windscreen wiper.
The function stops when the stalk is
released.
WARNING
18)Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.
WARNING
6)Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If operation is
not restored (even after using the key to
restart the engine), contact a Lancia
Dealership.
7)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
8)Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.9)Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
10)Do not use the rear window wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice. In such
conditions, the wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If afterwards
operation is not restored, contact a Lancia
Dealership.

NOTEIn particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Stop/Start function to prevent the
compressor from continuously switching on and off, with consequent rapid misting of the windows and accumulation of
humidity with unpleasant smells in the passenger compartment.
WARNING
19)It is advisable not to use the internal air recirculation function when the outside temperature is low, because the windows could mist
rapidly.
WARNING
2)The system uses R134a coolant which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Never use R12 fluid, which is
not compatible with the system components.

INITIALISATION
PROCEDURE
Following an automatic movement
malfunction while opening/closing or
after an emergency manoeuvre (see
description in the previous paragraph),
the automatic operation of the sun
roof must be initialised again.
Proceed as follows:
Press button B in closed position;
hold down button B: after
approximately 10 seconds the roof
moves jerkily to closing position. Once
the operation has ended (roof closed)
release button B;
turn the ignition key to STOP and
keep it there for 10 seconds;
turn the ignition key to the MAR
position;
Press button B in closed position;
hold down button B until the roof is
completely closed: the initialisation
procedure has ended;
press button B again within 3
seconds from the conclusion of the
initialisation procedure;
hold down button B: the roof will
perform an automatic opening and
closing cycle: should this not occur,
repeat the operation from the
beginning;
keeping button B held down, wait
until the roof is completely closed.
WARNING
21)When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition switch to
avoid the risk of injury to those still inside
the car due to accidental operation of
the sun roof. Improper use of the roof can
be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that no-one is
exposed to the risk of being injured by the
moving sunroof or by objects getting
caught or hit by it.
WARNING
12)Do not open the sun roof if there is
snow or ice on it: you may damage it. In
vehicles with sun roof no roof rack can be
fitted.
CONTROLS
DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This only operates with the ignition
key turned to MAR and the engine
started. Electric power steering allows
the force required at the steering wheel
to be adapted to the driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition
key quickly, full power steering
functionality can be achieved after a
few seconds.
Activation / Deactivation (CITY
function)
Press the CITY button (A-fig. 27) to
activate the function. When this
function is active, the word CITY on the
instrument panel will light up.
26L0F0299C
27L0F0428C
29

When the CITY function is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
To deactivate the function press the
button again.
IMPORTANT During parking
manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering,
the steering may become harder: this is
normal and is due to the intervention
of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating, so no
repair is required. When the car is
used again later on, the power steering
will work normally.
ECO FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Press the ECO button fig. 28 for at least
5 seconds to activate the function.When the ECO function is activated,
the car is set for city driving,
characterised by less effort on the
steering wheel (Dualdrive system on)
and reduced fuel consumption.
When this function is activated, the
word ECO on the display will light up on
some versions.
This function stays in the memory, so
when the vehicle is started again,
the system keeps the setting it had
before the engine was stopped. Press
the ECO button again to deactivate
the function and restore the normal
driving setting.
WARNING
22)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
23)Before starting any servicing operation,
stop the engine and remove the key from
the ignition switch to operate the steering
lock, particularly when the wheels do
not touch the ground. If this is not possible
(for example if the key needs to be turned
to MAR or the engine must be running),
remove the main fuse that protects the
electric power steering.

The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a specific indication on the
control panel.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI advises
the driver to engage a higher gear,
while when the SHIFT DOWN icon (
SHIFT) is shown, the GSI advises the
driver to engage a lower gear.
The indication on the instrument panel
remains until the driver shifts gear or the
driving conditions return to a situation
where gearshifting is not required to
improve consumption.

Warning light What it means
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the (red)
, (amber)andESCwarning lights with the engine on,
indicates either an anomaly of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. On some versions the display
shows the dedicated message.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Lancia Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on but it should switch off after a few seconds.
If the warning light (or, on some versions, a dedicated message and a symbol on the display) remains on,
you may not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be
notably increased; steering is, however, possible. In this case, contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors independent of the electric power steering could cause the
warning light on the instrument panel to switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately (should it be in
motion), stop the engine for about 20 seconds and then restart the engine. If the warning light (or, on some
versions, a dedicated message and a symbol on the display) remains on steadily, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the steering must be initialised. The warning light switches
on to indicate this. To carry out this procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the way from one end to
the other or drive in a straight line for about a hundred metres.
45

Warning light What it means
INSUFFICIENT ENGINE OIL PRESSURE/ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on, but it should go out as soon as the
engine is started.
Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on constantly along with a dedicated message on the display (for
versions/markets where provided) when the system detects that engine oil pressure is low.
