All restraint devices must bear the certification
data, together with the control brand, on a solidly
fixed label which must absolutely never be removed.Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults
and wear the seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Lancia offers seats for each weight
group, which are the recommended choice, as they
have been desig

WARNING
In case of need, on cars provided with front passenger's air bag deactivation, a
child can be carried on the front seat. In this case it is absolutely necessary to
check the amber warning light on the cluster to make sure that deactivation has
actually taken place (see paragraph “Front and side air bags” at item “Front
passenger’s air bag”). The front passenger’s seat shall be adjusted in the most
backward position to prevent any contact between child’s seat and dashboard.
WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: Never place cradle child’s seats on the front passenger seat
of cars fitted with passenger’s air bag since the air bag could cause serious
injuries, even mortal. You are advised to carry children always on the rear seat,
as this is the most protected position in the case of a crash. In any case, children’s
seats must absolutely not be fitted on the front seat of cars with passenger’s air
bag, which during inflation could cause serious injury, even mortal, regardless of
the seriousness of the crash that triggered it.

GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards on a cradle seat,
which, supporting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the
event of sharp deceleration.
The cradle is restrained by the car seat belts and in turn it must
restrain the child with its own belts.

Seats exist which are suitable for covering weight groups 0 and 1 with a rear
connection to the vehicle belts and their own belts to restrain the child.
Due to their size, they can be dangerous if installed incorrectly fastened to the car
belts with a cushion. Carefully follow the instructions for installation provided
with the seat. The figure is only an example for mounting. Attain to the instructions for fastening
which must be enclosed with the specific child restraining system you are using.

GROUP 1
Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, children may be carried facing
forwards, with seat fitted with front cushion, through which the car
seat belt restrains both child and seat.
GROUP 2
Starting from 15 kg to 25 kg in weight, children may be restrained
directly by the car belts. The only function of the seat is to position
the child correctly in relation to the belts, so that the diagonal part
adheres to the chest and not to the neck and that the horizontal part
clings to the child’s pelvis and not the abdomen.

PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE “ISOFIX TYPE” CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (where provided)
This car is created preset for mounting the Isofix type child restraint
system. “Isofix” is a European standardised system for mounting
child restraints. Isofix type child restraint system is an additional
option that does not prevent from using traditional child restraint
systems. The Isofix type child’s seat covers three weight groups: 0,0+
and 1.
Due to its different anchoring system, the Isofix type child’s seat shall
be anchored to the proper metal brackets set between rear seat back
and cushion, which can be identified by the slots in the seat cover A.
It is possible to mount both the traditional restraint system and the
Isofix type one, one on the left and the other on the right, for
example.
Since sizes are different, it is possible to install max two traditional
child’s seats on the rear side seats secured by seat belts. Only
traditional child’s seats can be installed on front seat.
These child’s seats are recommended since they have been designed
and experimented expressly for this car.

WARNING
Mount the child restraint system only with the car stationary. The Isofix child
restraint system is properly anchored to the mounting brackets when clicks are
heard. In any case, keep to the installation instructions that must be provided by
the child restraint system Manufacturer.
Page 175 of 346
GROUP 1
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒check whether the release lever B is at rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets A, then position the child restraint
system with the fastening devices C aligned with the brackets;
❒push the child restraint system until hearing locking clicks;
❒for seats positioned facing the running direction, hook the upper
belt (in the upper child's seat pocket) to the ring D located on the
rear seat back;
❒check proper locking by moving the child’s seat with force: the
built-in safety mechanism actually inhibit improper coupling with
only one coupling locked.
With this configuration, the child is secured also by the car seat belts
and by the upper belt. To apply car seat belts to child’s seat refer to
the child’s seat handbook.

DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained in a special recess
in the centre of the steering wheel.
PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained in a special recess
A in the dashboard and the cushion has a volume bigger than that of
the driver. In minor crashes (for which the restraining action of the
seat belts is sufficient), the air bags are not deployed. Also in this case
it is of vital importance to wear the seat belts since in case of side
crash they guarantee proper positioning of the occupant and prevent
the occupants to be pitched out of the car in case of violent crashes.
WARNING
On cars provided with front passenger's air bag, the air bag shall be deactivated
when placing a child' seat on the front passenger's seat. The front passenger seat
shall be adjusted in the most backward position to prevent any contact between
child’ seat and dashboard. Even if not compulsory by law, you are recommended to
reactivate the air bag immediately as soon as child transport is no longer necessary.
L0D0144m
L0D0145m
SERIOUS DANGER: The car is fitted with an air bag on the passenger’s side. Never
place cradle child’s seats on the front passenger’s seat of cars fitted with passenger’s
air bag since the air bag activation could cause serious injuries, even mortal.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects on the
steering wheel, in area A of the passenger’s
air bag on the passenger's side air bag or
on the side covering. Never put objects on
the dashboard on the passenger’s side (e.g.
mobile phones) because they may interfere
with the correct air bag deployment and
cause serious injuries to the car occupants.
