USE OF SIDE REAR
AND FRONT SEAT BEALTS
Wear the belt keeping the chest
straight and rested against the back-
rest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongueA-fig. 1and insert it into the
buckleB, until the locking click is
heard.
If the belt jams when it is extracted,
let it rewind for a short stretch, then
pull it out again without jerking.
Press button Cto release the belt. Ac-
company the belt while it is being re-
wound to prevent twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automati-
cally adapts to the body of the pas-
senger wearing it, thus giving him/her
freedom of movement.The reel may get blocked when the
car is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. In addition, the reel
mechanism blocks the belt whenever
it is pulled and in the event of brisk
braking, collisions and on high speed
bends.
The rear seat is supplied with inertial
reel-driven seat belts with three hook-
ing points. Rear seat belts must be worn as
shown in diagram D-fig. 2(5 seat
versions) or diagram E-fig. 3(4 seat
versions).

S.B.R. system
The car is fitted with a Seat Belt Re-
minder system (S.B.R.), consisting of
a buzzer and a flashing warning light
warns the driver that the seat belt
must be fastened.
The buzzer can be deactivated tem-
porarily (until 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.
For permanent deactivation, contact
Lancia Dealership.
The S.B.R. system can be re-activated
through the “Setup” menu only (see
paragraph “Seat belts not fastened”
in section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).ADJUSTING THE
FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT
(where provided)
Always adjust the seat belt height to
the passenger’s body. This precaution
may considerably reduce the risk of
injury in the event of a collision.
Correct regulation is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half
way between the shoulder and the
neck.
To adjust, either lift or lower the grip
A-fig. 4of the locking mechanism
and at the same time move the ring B
to the most suitable of the allowed po-
sitions.
Remember that in the
event of a violent collision,
rear seat passengers that do not
wear seat belts both pose a risk for
their safety and also represent a
serious danger for the front seat
passengers.
WARNING
fig. 4L0D0128m
Stop the car to adjust the
seat belt height.
WARNING
After the adjustment, make
sure that the cursor to
which the ring is secured is blocked
in one of the possible positions.
Release the grip and push down-
wards to enable the locking device
to click if the grip has not been re-
leased in one of the possible posi-
tions.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the protection efficiency
of the seat belts, the car is fitted with
front pretension. In the event of a vi-
olent crash, these devices rewind the
seat belts a few centimetres. In this
way they ensure that the seat belt per-
fectly adheres to the wearer before the
restraining action begins.
When the pretensioner is engaged, the
reel is blocked. The belt is no longer
wound even if it is accompanied.The pretensioner can only
be used once. Go to a Lan-
cia Dealership to have it replaced
after is has been deployed. For de-
vice validity refer to the plate po-
sitioned inside the upper glove box
on the passenger’s side. Refer to the
Lancia Dealership when the time
comes to replace the device.
WARNING
Operations which lead to
shocks, vibrations or lo-
calised heating (over 100°C
for a maximum of 6 hours)
in the area around the pretensioners
may damage or trigger them. These
devices are not affected by vibra-
tions caused by irregularities of the
road surface or low obstacles such
as kerbs, etc. Contact Lancia Deal-
ership for any assistance.
IMPORTANT Maximum protection is
obtained from the pretensioner if the
belt is worn tight on the chest and
hips.
A slight emission of smoke may occur.
This smoke is not harmful and does
not indicate a fire.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or greasing.
Any work tampering with its original
conditions invalidates pretensioner ef-
ficiency.
If unusual natural events (floods, sea
storms, etc.) have caused the device
to be contaminated by water and
mud, it must be replaced.

LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger’s safety in the
event of an accident, the front seat
belt reels feature 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 re-
straining action in case of front crash.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respect-
ing (and ensuring that all the other
car passengers also respect) the local
laws in force regarding the use of seat
belts. Always fasten the seat belts be-
fore starting off.
Seat belts must also be used by preg-
nant women: wearing the seat belt
significantly reduces the risk for both
the expectant mother and the baby in
the event of an accident.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down
so that it passes above the hips and
under the abdomen (see fig. 7).
fig. 7L0D0133m
fig. 8L0D0134m
fig. 9L0D0135m
The belt must not be
twisted. The upper part
must cross the shoulder and the
chest diagonally. The lower part
must adhere to the passenger’s hips
and not to the abdomen. Do not use
devices (clips, clamps, etc.) that pre-
vent the belts from being snug to the
passengers’ body.
WARNING
Under no circumstances
should the seat belt and
pretensioner components be re-
moved or tampered with. All in-
terventions must be performed by
qualified and authorised personnel
only. Always go to a Lancia Deal-
ership.
WARNING
Maximum protection is ob-
tained if the backrest is
kept straight: the passenger’s back
must lean against the backrest and
the seat belt must be tight on the
chest and hips. Always fasten the
seat belts on both the front and the
rear seats. Travelling without seat
belts fastened increases the risk of
serious injuries or even death in the
event of a crash.

HOW TO KEEP SAFETY
BELTS ALWAYS EFFICIENT
❒Always use the seat belts with the
tap taut and never twisted; make
sure that it is free to run without
impediments.
❒Replace the belt after a serious ac-
cident even if it does not appear
damaged. Always replace the belt
if the pretensioners were deployed.
❒To clean the belt, wash by hand
with water and mild soap, rinse
and leave to dry in the shade. Do
not use strong detergents, bleach,
paints or any other chemical sub-
stance which could damage the
belt fibres.
❒Keep the reels dry: correct opera-
tion is ensured only if there are no
water infiltrations in the reels.
❒Replace the seat belt when show-
ing significant signs of wear or
cuts.CARRYING
CHILDREN
SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of
a crash, all passengers must be seated
and wear adequate restraint systems.
This is even more important for chil-
dren.
This is a compulsory requirement in
all EC member countries according to
EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
A child’s head is larger and heavier in
proportion to his/her body and the
child’s muscular and bone structures
are not fully developed. For this rea-
son, they require restraint systems
which are different from those used
by adults to protect them in the event
of an accident.
If the belt has been sub-
jected to a heavy stress, for
example after an accident, it
should be changed completely to-
gether with the anchors, anchor
fastening screws and the preten-
sioner. In fact, even if the belt has
no visible defects, it could have lost
its resilience.
WARNING
Each seat belt must be
worn by one person only.
Do not carry children on your lap
with one seat belt protecting both.
In general, do not place any objects
between the passenger and the belt.

The research results in relation to the
best protection for children is illus-
trated in European standard ECE-
R44 which divides the restraint sys-
tems into five groups in addition to
making their use compulsory:
Group 0 - up to 10 kg in weight
Group 0+ - up to 13 kg in weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg in weight
As it may be noted, the groups over-
lap partly and, in fact, in commerce it
is possible to find devices that cover
more than one weight group.
All restraint devices must bear the
type-approval data along with the
control mark on a label that must be
firmly secured to the child seat and
must never be removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point
of view of restraint systems, children
are considered as adults and must
wear the seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Lancia includes child
seats for each weight group. These de-
vices are recommended having been
specifically designed for Lancia cars.
SEVERE DANGER: do not
arrange child seats on the
front seat facing backwards if the
passenger’s front airbag is enabled.
Deployment of the airbag in the
event of an accident could cause fa-
tal injuries to the baby. It is advis-
able to carry children on the back
seat, which is the most protected
position in the event of an accident.
Under no circumstances should
child seats be fitted on the front
seat if the car is equipped with an
airbag on the passenger side, be-
cause if the airbag is deployed, it
may cause fatal injuries to the
baby regardless of the severity of
the crash causing the deployment.
WARNING
On cars supplied with a
deactivation system for
the front passenger
airbag, children can sit on
the front seat, when re-
quired. In this case, how-
ever, make sure that the airbag is
actually deactivated by checking
the amber warning light on the
panel (see the paragraph “front
airbag on passenger side” in the
section on both front and side
airbags). Move the passenger’s
seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the child
seat and the dashboard.
