Electric window system initialisation
The safety system must be re-initialised after disconnect-
ing the battery or if the relevant protection fuse is blown.
Initialisation procedure:
fully close the window to be initialised manually;
after the window has reached the upper end of travel,
hold the up button pressed for at least one second.
IMPORTANT Where provided, following the disconnec-
tion of the power supply (replacing or disconnecting the
battery or replacing the protection fuse for the electric win-
dows control units), the automatic setting for the electric
windows must be reset.The reset operation should be carried out with the doors
closed according to the following procedure:
1. completely lower the driver-side window and keep the
button pressed for at least 3 seconds once the end of
travel position has been reached;
2. completely raise the driver-side window and keep the
button pressed for at least 3 seconds once the end of
travel position has been reached;
3. repeat stages 1 and 2 for the passenger-side window
4. check that the initialisation has taken place correctly
by checking the automatic operation of the windows.
IMPORTANT With central locking on, operating the in-
ternal handle of one of the doors will unlock all the doors.
If there is no power (blown fuse, battery disconnected,
etc.) the doors can still be locked manually. As in this case
the automatic window opening function is not available,
to open or close the door with the window closed, apply
pressure to the window towards the vehicle interior, to aid

LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
OPENING THE TAILGATE

side by operating the handle fig. 55.
The tailgate can be opened at any time if car doors are un-
locked.
The key with remote control should be used to open the
tailgate.

indicated by the
´warning light coming on in the in-
strument panel or the
Ricon appearing on the display
together with a dedicated message (see “Instrument pan-
el warning lights” in this chapter).
Opening the tailgate turns the luggage compartment light
on: the light automatically turns off after you close the
tailgate.

is turned to STOP: if, during this period, a door or the tail-
gate is opened, the 15 minute timing is reset.

128SAFETY
PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts, the car is fit-
ted with pretensioners. These devices, in the event of a vi-
olent frontal impact, rewind the seat belts by a few cen-
timetres. In this way they ensure that the seat belt adheres
perfectly to the wearer before the restraining action be-
gins. The seat belt reel locks to indicate that the preten-
sioner has cut in; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guided manually.
This car is provided with a second pretensioner (in the
running board area). Its activation is signalled by the
shortening of the metal cable.
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 during the ac-
tivation of the pretensioners. This smoke is in no way tox-
ic and presents no fire hazard. The pretensioner does not
require any maintenance or greasing. Anything that mod-
ifies its original conditions invalidates its efficiency. If due
to unusual natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.) the de-
vice has been affected by water and mud, it must neces-
sarily be replaced.
The pretensioner can only be used once. Go
to a Lancia Dealership to have it replaced af-
ter is has been deployed. The expiry date is
shown on the label on the door edge: refer to a Lan-
cia Dealership when the time comes to replace the
device.
Operations which lead to shocks, vibrations
or localised heating (over 100°C for a max-
imum of 6 hours) in the area around the pre-
tensioners may damage or trigger them. These de-
vices are not affected by vibrations caused by ir-
regularities of the road surface or low obstacles such
as kerbs, etc. Contact Lancia Dealership for any as-
sistance.
