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.

Proceed as follows:
❒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.

WARNING
WARNING
If the central seat belt is fastened to the
seat, release it before tilting the seat.
Never pull tapes B or C with seats in load
position as they will slide vertically thus
hindering seat repositioning.
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

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.
PARKING
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the car is faced
uphill or reverse if it is faced downhill) and leave the wheels
steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a
steep slope. Avoid leaving the car parked with a wheel on the
sidewalk or steered against the kerb. Do not leave the ignition key at
MAR to prevent draining the battery. Always remove the key when
you leave the car.

INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped under
the mats (due to water dripping off shoes,
umbrellas, etc.) which could cause oxidisation of the
sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC AND VELVET
PA R T S
Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
Velvet is cleaned better if the brush is moistened.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a
solution of water and neutral detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
For routine cleaning, wipe with a cloth with water
and neutral non-abrasive detergent. Remove grease
or persistent stains with appropriate products
designed to preserve the appearance of components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petroleum to clean
the instrument panel or other plastic parts.STEERING WHEEL/GEAR LEVER KNOB
WITH GENUINE LEATHER COVERING
These components shall only be cleaned with water
and neutral soap. Never use spirit or alcohol-based
products.
Before using special products for cleaning interiors,
read carefully label instructions and indications to
make sure they are free from spirit and/or alcohol-
based substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen with special glass
products, some drops fall on the leather covering of
the steering wheel/gear lever knob remove them
immediately and then clean with water and neutral
soap.
IMPORTANT Take the utmost care when engaging
the steering lock to prevent scratching the leather
covering.
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car: they might explode. Aerosol cans must never
be exposed to a temperature above 50°C. The temperature inside the car exposed
to the sun may go well beyond that figure.
