EXTENDING THE BOOT
Before extending the boot, release the seat belt buckle (with black
button, if fastened) and accompany the webbing in the reel to prevent
it from twisting; insert the tongues, overlapping them, in the retaining

Moving the seat backwards or forwards
The rear seat is of the double-seat type. It is possible to move the rear
seat backwards or forwards from the boot using handles B or C; pull
the handle and at the same time move the seats forwards. This makes
it possible to extend the boot capacity.

❒remove the rear parcel and previously shown;
❒make sure the headrests are completely lowered;
❒use levers D and E to fold the rear seat backs on the cushions;
❒make sure the seats are completely in backward position by means
of handles B or C;
❒use tapes F and G to tilt the seats completely.

SIDE AIR BAGS (Side bag - Window bag)
(where fitted)
SIDE BAGS (where fitted)
They are formed of an instantaneously-inflating cushion housed in
the back rest of front seats and their task is to increase protection of
the occupants in the event of a side crash of medium-high severity.

L0D0148m
Covers for Side bag seats are available at Lineaccessori Lancia.
WINDOW BAGS (where fitted)
They are “curtain” cushions located behind the side coverings of the
roof and covered by proper finishings, studied for the head protection
to offer the best protection to the front and rear occupants in the
event of side crash, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.
The side air bag is not a replacement of but complementary to the use
of belts, which should always be worn, as specified by law in Europe
and most non European countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash, you can obtain the best
protection by the system keeping a correct position on the seat,
allowing thus a correct window bag unfolding.
IMPORTANT The front air bags and/or side bags may be deployed if
the car is subject to heavy knocks or accidents involving the
underbody area, such as for example violent shocks against steps,
kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the car in big holes or sags in the
road.
Do not cover the back rest of front seats
with trims or covers there are not set for
the use of side bags.
