  In this paper we study the family of the Lozi maps $L_{a,b} : {\mathbb R}^2
\to {\mathbb R}^2$, $L_{a,b} = (1 + y - a|x|, bx)$, and their strange
attractors $\Lambda_{a,b}$. We introduce the set of kneading sequences for the
Lozi map and prove that it determines the symbolic dynamics for that map. We
also introduce two other equivalent approaches.
