If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to steal
your
car),
get
a
Dealership to make sure it is still
functioning properly before you
start driving again.
Always remove the igni-
tion key when you get out
of the car. This will pre-
vent anyone from accidentally
working the controls. Remember
to apply the handbrake and, if
the car is faced down on a steep
slope engage the first gear. If it is
facing up, engage the reverse
gear.
IMPORTANT For versions equip-
ped with the recognition system,
refer to paragraph "Recognition sys-
tem (Keyless System)" in this chap-
ter.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

The steering column lock is
engaged automatically after remov-
Lancia
ing the ignition key.
It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation in-
volving steering system or steering
column modifications (e.g.: instal-
lation of anti-theft Device) that
could badly affect performance
and safety, cause the lapse of war-
ranty and also result in non-com-
pliance of the car with homologa-
tion requirements.

Versions with Keyless System

The steering column lock is
engaged when central door locking
is actuated by means of the remote
control. This condition is indicated
on the instrument panel display by
message "STEERING LOCKED
WHEN DOORS CLOSED".
