2007 Lancia Musa warning

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel engine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for 1.3 Multijet 90 HP version)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines. The diesel particular filter has been adopted to
eliminate almost totally particulates in compliance with current / future law regulations. During normal use
of the vehicle, the engine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc.)
and it will then calculate how much particulates has been trapped by the filter. Since this filter physically
traps particulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles.
Reclaiming procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions
and the conditions of use of the vehicle. During reclaiming the following phenomena could take place: idling
slight increase, fan activation, slight smoke increase, high exhaust temperatures. These situations shall not be
considered as faults and they do not affect vehicle performance and environment. If the dedicated message
is displayed, refer to paragraph “Warning lights and messages”.

SEAT BELTS
USING THE FRONT AND
REAR SIDE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and rested against
the seat back.
To fasten the belt, take hold the tongue A and insert it into the buckle
B, until hearing the locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the
passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.
When the car is parked on a steep slope the reel mechanism may
block; this is normal. The reel mechanism prevents the webbing
coming out when it is jerked or if the car brakes sharply, in a collision
or when cornering at high speed.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat belts with three anchor points
and reel.
The rear belts shall be worn as shown in the figure.

S.B.R. system
The car is fitted with the S.B.R. system (Seat Belt
Reminder), consisting of a buzzer which, together
with the flashing of warning light instrument panel, warns the driver to fasten the seat
belts.
The buzzer can be deactivated (until the the next
engine stop) as follows:
❒fasten the driver’s seat belt.
❒turn the ignition key to MAR
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then release at least
one of the seat belts.

passengers.
WARNING
For permanent deactivation, contact Lancia
Dealership.
S.B.R. system can be only reactivated through the
set-up menu (see section “Warning lights and
messages” at paragraph “seat belts not fastened”).

FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (where provided)
Always adjust the height of the seat belt to fit the person wearing it.
This precaution could greatly reduce the risk of injury in case of
collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when the belt passes half way between
the end of the shoulder and the neck.
To adjust the seat belt, raise or lower knob A of the locking
mechanism, moving at the same time the loop B to the best of the
available positions.

WARNING
After adjustment, always check that the slider is anchored in one of the positions
provided. To do this, with the button released, exert a further pressure to allow
the anchor device to catch if release did not take place at one of the preset
positions.

USING THE CENTRAL SEAT BELT
The seat belt has two webbings and a double buckle.
To use the seat belt, take tongues H and P from their seats in the reel
compartment and pull the seat belt sliding the webbing carefully
without twisting or jerking it, then fasten the tongue G in buckle L
with button M.
To wear the seat belt: slide the webbing and insert the tongue I into
buckle N.
To fasten the seat belt: press button O and accompany the webbing to
avoid twisting it.
Extending the luggage compartment: release the buckle by pressing
button M and accompany the webbing to avoid twisting it; insert
tongue I in seat P and tongue G in seat H inside the reel
compartment.
IMPORTANT After putting the seats back to their travelling position,
restore the seat belt position to make them ready for use.

WARNING

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts, the car is
fitted with pretensioners. These devices, in the event
of a violent crash, rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat
belt adheres perfectly to the wearer before the
restraining action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that the device has
intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guiding it manually.IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning
device, wear the seat belt keeping it firmly close to
the chest and pelvis.
A small amount of smoke may be produced. This
smoke is in no way toxic and presents no fire
hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or greasing.
Anything that modifies its original conditions
invalidates its efficiency.
If due to unusual natural events (floods, sea storm,
etc.) the device has been affected by water and
mud, it must necessarily be replaced.

DEVICES
Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of 6
hours) in the area around the pretensioners may cause damage or trigger them. These devices are
not affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as
kerbs, etc. Contact a Lancia Dealership for any assistance.
WARNING
The pretensioner can only be used once. After a collision that has triggered it,
have it replaced at a Lancia Dealership. Pretensioner validity is written on the
plate set on the upper oddment compartment on passenger side. Pretensioners
should be replaced at Lancia Dealership as this date approaches.

LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger’s safety, the front seat belt reels contain a load
limiter which allows controlled sag in such a way as to dose the force
acting on the chest and shoulders during the belt restraining action in
case of front crash.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and have the vehicle occupants follow)
all the local legal regulations concerning the use of seat belts. Always
fasten the seat belts before starting.
Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers: the risk of injury
in the case of accident is greatly reduced for them and the unborn
child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Of course they must position the lower part of the belt very low down
so that it passes under the abdomen (as illustrated in the figure).
