AUTOCLOSE FUNCTION
(AUTOMATIC LOCKING
OF DOORS, BOOT,
AND FUEL FILLER FLAP)
The Keyless System automatically
locks the boot and door locks when
the owner goes away with the CID
device at least 4 metres far from the
car. Boot and door locking is con-
firmed by the flashing of direction
indicators.
This function can be switched off
by acting on the CONNECT settings.
The Autoclose function is not actu-
ated in the following cases:
– If, when the driver moves away
from the car, one or several doors are
not closed correctly, automatic lock-
ing will not be actuated and the car
doors and boot will remain open: the
owner is warned of this by the failed
blinking of direction indicators.
– If at the time of moving away,
other CID devices are identified as
existing in the car passenger com-
partment or in the luggage compart-
ment, or if the knob is not set to the
STOPposition (instrument panel
turned on or engine started). LOCKING THE DOOR AND
LEAVING THE CAR (with the
identification system disabled)
To lock doors when system func-
tions are disabled, proceed as fol-
lows:
– Close all the doors and the lug-
gage compartment bonnet
– Push on button C(fig. 18) on
CID device to engage central locking
of doors, of luggage compartment
and of electronic alarm.
Leds on door panels will lit for
approx. 3 seconds in red colour and
then they will start flashing with
deterring function.
If one or more doors are not cor-
rectly closed, leds will start flashing
for 3 seconds instead of being lit
with a fixed light. After flashing for
3 seconds, leds will anyhow be
turned out, except for that on the
driver’s door, which will start flash-
ing with a deterring function. TAILGATE OPENING
If the boot shall be opened from
outside, with the doors locked, it is
enough to get near the boot with the
CID device and press the boot but-
ton: the boot lock will release and
the boot will be opened while the
doors remain locked. If the alarm
system is on, the boot protection,
volumetric protection and anti-lift-
ing protection will be temporarily
excluded.
When the boot is reclosed, it will
have to be locked by pressing the
door locking button on the CID
device, which will resume the alarm
protection, too.
IMPORTANTBefore closing the
luggage compartment bonnet, make
sure you always have with yourself
the CID device.

OPENING/CLOSING FROM
THE INSIDE
To open the door even when the
lock is locked, pull handle A(fig. 35
front doors -fig. 36 rear doors) set in
the upper part of the panel.
Next to each door handle are two
buttons that actuate lock
locking/unlocking:
– B button for unlocking;
– Cbutton for locking.
The red/green leds A(fig. 33 front
doors –fig. 34 rear doors) indicate
the locking/unlocking condition.
The leds come on with red light for
about 3 seconds after door locking
and with green light after unlocking.
By pulling the internal handle of
the driver’s door, all the doors or
only the driver’s door will be simul-
taneously unlocked, depending on
the setting selected on the CON-
NECT. By pulling the internal han-
dle of any other door, all the doors
are simultaneously unlocked.

With the dead lock
device on, pressing the
external handle button of
one of the doors while unlocking
the doors by the remote control
could cause the disconnection of
the internal handle of the
involved door thus making
impossible to open that door
from the inside. To restore regu-
lar operation, just press the
remote control central door
unlocking button or button B (fig.
36) on the door panel.A led is located near each door
handle to make it easy to find the
handle in the dark. The leds light up
for about 2 minutes after turning the
ignition key to STOPor until a door
is opened.
Door open indication
The driver is informed that one or
several doors are not closed correct-
ly by the lighting of the correspond-
ing symbols on the instrument dis-
play, together with the messages
“DOOR OPEN” or “DOORS
OPEN”.

Improper use of the elec-
trical window winders can
be dangerous. Before and
during their operation ensure
that any passengers in the car are
not at risk from the moving glass
either by personal objects getting
caught in the mechanism or by
being injured by it directly.
Always remove the ignition key
when you get out of the car to
prevent the electrical window
winders being operated acciden-
tally and constituting a danger to
the people left in the car. IMPORTANT In the event that the
anti-trap function is activated 5
times in only 1 minute, the system
will automatically enter the “recov-
ery” mode (self-protection). This
condition is pointed out by the fact
that, in the closing phase, the win-
dow goes up in jerks.
It is therefore necessary in this case
to carry out the system restore pro-
cedure by operating window open-
ing control or turning the ignition
key to STOPand then to MAR.
Regular operation is restored if no
malfunction is present: otherwise
contact a Lancia Dealership.
In the event that the system detects
a malfunction, the failure message
and symbol ª!will appear on the
instrument panel display (see
“Window anti-trap safety system” at
paragraph “Warning lights”).ELECTRIC
WINDOWS
ANTI-TRAP SAFETY SYSTEM
Front and rear electric windows are
provided with anti-trap safety
device. When the system control unit
detects an obstacle in the window
closing travel, it makes the window
travel stop and reverse immediately.
This system complies with regula-
tion 2000/4/EC coming soon in
force, which is destined to protect
passengers leaning out of the win-
dows. Therefore, in case of unlawful
intrusions from the outside, the anti-
trap safety device could not activate.

SEAT BELTS
HOW TO USE
THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the seat back.

turned to MARand the driver’s seat
belt is not fastened.
To fasten the seat belt, take the
fastening tongue A (fig. 69) and
push it into buckle B, until you hear
it click.Pull the seat belt gently. If it jams,
let it rewind a little and pull it out
again without jerking.
To release the seat belts, press but-
ton C. Guide the seat belt with your
hand while is rewinding to prevent it
from twisting.
Through the reel, the belt auto-
matically adapts to the body of the
passenger wearing it, allowing free-
dom of movement.Never press button C
(fig. 69) while travelling.

To activate centralised window and
sunroof opening, keep button A(fig.
68) pressed for over 2 seconds after
opening the doors: window and sun-
roof will move until complete open-
ing or until releasing the button.
This function can be used to aerate
the passenger’s compartment before
getting into the car parked in the
sun.

Below is a summary of the rules
of safety to be followed for carry-
ing children:
1) Child restraint system should be
fitted on the rear seat as this is the
most protected area in the car in the
event of a crash.4) Always check the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling the web-
bing.
5) Only one child is to be strapped
to each retaining system.
6) Always check the seat belts do
not fit around the child’s throat.
7) While travelling do not let the
child sit incorrectly or release the
belts.
8) Passengers should never carry
children on their laps. No-one, how-
ever strong they are, can hold a child
in the event of a crash.
9) In case of an accident, replace
the seat with a new one.PRESETTING FOR MOUNTING
THE “ISOFIX TYPE” CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
THESIS is preset for mounting the
Isofix type child restraint system, a
new European standardised system
for transporting children. Isofix type
child restraint system is an addition-
al option that does not prevent from
using traditional child restraint sys-
tems. Isofix type child's seat covers
three weight groups: 0, 0+and 1.
Due to its different anchoring sys-
tem, the Isofix type child's seat shall
be anchored using the proper metal
brackets set between rear seat back
and cushion, shown in figures 81
and82.
It is possible to mount both the tra-
ditional child restraint system and
the Isofix type one. Max. two Isofix
type child's seats can be mounted on
the rear seat using the proper cou-
plings.
On the front passenger seat it is
possible to mount only traditional
child's seats. Children must never be
seated in the front pas-
senger seat in cars with
passenger’s front airbag.
2) In case of passenger airbag
deactivation check that instrument
panel warning light Fis on to
make sure that deactivation has
actually taken place .
3) Follow the instructions for fas-
tening the specific child restraint
system you are using which must be
provided by the manufacturer. Keep
the child restraint system installa-
tion instructions with the car papers
and with this handbook. Never use a
child restraint system without the
installation instructions.

Only turn the switch
when the engine is not
running and the ignition
key is removed.
The key switch has two possible
positions:
1)Passenger’s front airbag active
(position ON
P): instrument panel
warning light Foff. Do not carry
children on the front seat.
2)Passenger’s front airbag deacti-
vated (position OFFF): instru-
ment panel warning light Fon. A
child may be carried on the front
seat, protected with a specific
restraint system.
The Fwarning light on the
instrument panel will stay on until
the passenger front airbag is reacti-
vated.
The side airbag will work although
the front airbag is deactivated.
The key can be inserted and
removed from the switch with the
door open in any of the two posi-
tions. IMPORTANTTo receive the best
system protection in the event of an
accident, you have to seat in proper
position (fig. 92).

L0A0272b
Any diagnostic, repair or replace-
ment operations concerning the
airbag system must exclusively be
carried out at a Lancia Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped,
have the airbag system deactivated
at a Lancia Dealershipfirst.
If the car changes hands, the new
owner must be made aware of the
indications given above and be given
this Owner Handbook.
IMPORTANTPretensioners, front
airbags and side bags are activated
by the electronic control unit
according to the type of impact.
Consequently, missed activation of
one or more system components
does not indicate a fault in the sys-
tem.MANUALLY DEACTIVATING
THE REAR SIDE BAGS
(where provided)
Side bags, protecting the chest of
the rear passengers, can be deacti-
vated as follows.
Use the ignition key to operate the
key switch A(fig. 93) located on the
right side of the boot. This switch
can be reached only with tailgate
open.The key switch has two positions:
1)Passenger’s front airbag active
(position ON
Õ): instrument panel
warning light
Àoff. Do not carry
children on the front seat.
2)Passenger’s front airbag deacti-
vated (position OFF
À): instrument
panel warning light
Àon. A child
may be carried on the front seat,
protected with a specific restraint
system.
IMPORTANTThe car is delivered
with rear side bags deactivated
(position OFF
À) and instrument
panel warning light
Àon.
Operate the switch only
when the engine is
stopped and the ignition
key is removed.
SEVERE DANGER:
In presence of
small size occu-
pants (children, etc.) on the rear
seats, it is necessary to deactivate
the rear side bags through the
apposite deactivation switch
located in the boot.
