GROUP 0 and 0+ fig. 10
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
facing backwards on a cradle seat,
which supports the head, thus not in-
ducing stresses on the baby’s neck in
the event of sharp decelerations.
Cradle seats must be withheld using
the car seat belts. To restrain the baby
use the seat belts fitted in the child
seat.GROUP 1 fig. 11
Children from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight
can be carried facing forwards if the
child seat is fitted with a front cush-
ion, through which the car seat belt
restrains both child and seat.

The figure is indicative for assembly purposes only. Refer to the
instructions supplied with the child seat.
WARNING
Some child restraint systems for weight group 0 and 1 have a rear
attachment and seat belts for securing the child. Due to their
weight, they may be dangerous if incorrectly mounted (e.g. if fastened to
the car seat belts placing a cushion in between). Follow the assembly in-
structions carefully.
WARNING
GROUP 2 fig. 12
Children from 15 to 25 kg can be se-
cured using the car seat belts directly.
The child seat is only needed to posi-
tion the child correctly with respect to
the belts so that the diagonal section
crosses the child’s chest and never the
neck and is snug on the hips and not
the abdomen.
The figure is indicative for
assembly purposes only.
Refer to the instructions supplied
with the child seat.

Below is a summary of the safety
rules to be followed for carrying
children:
❒The recommended position for in-
stalling the child seat is on the rear
seat, as it is the most protected
area in the event of a crash.
❒If the passenger’s air bag is deac-
tivated (where provided) always
check that the amber “warning
light on the panel is permanently
on to indicate actual airbag deac-
tivation.
❒Thoroughly follow the instructions
that must be provided by the
manufacturer with the child seat.
Keep the instructions in the car
along with the other papers and
this handbook. Do not use child
seats without instructions.
❒Pull the belt to make sure that the
seat belt is properly hooked.❒Only one child must sit on the
child seat: never let two children
sit on it simultaneously.
❒Always check that the seat belts do
not run around the child’s neck.
❒While travelling, do not let the
child sit incorrectly or release the
belts.
❒Never carry children, nor even in-
fants, on your lap. No-one, how-
ever strong, can hold a child in the
case of an accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace
the child’s seat with a new one. ISOFIX
CHILD RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUP
Provision has been made on the car to
mount a Universal Isofix child re-
straint system, a new European stan-
dardised system for carrying children
safely.
Isofix systems can be mounted simul-
taneously with a traditional restraint
system.
An example of child seat is shown in
fig. 14.
The Universal Isofix child seat covers
weight group: 1.
Specific Isofix child seats cover the
other weight groups. These seats must
be designed, tested and type-ap-
proved specifically for this car (refer
to the list of cars attached to the child
seat).
Do not arrange child seats
on the front seat in cars
fitted with an airbag on the pas-
senger side. Children must never
travel on the front seat.

As the attachment system is different,
the child seat must be secured using
the lower metal rings A-fig. 15posi-
tioned between the backrest and rear
bag. Then, fit the upper belt (pro-
vided with the child seat) in the sup-
plied ring D-fig. 16located at the
back of the backrest near the child
seat.

Remember that only Universal Isofix
child seats bearing the type-approval
text “ECE R44/03 Universal Isofix”
can be used.
Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child seat
is available from Lineaccessori
Lancia.For further details about the installa-
tion/use of child seats, refer to the
“Instructions Manual” of the child
seat.

Fit the child seat when the
car is stationary. The
child seat is correctly anchored to
the brackets when you hear the
click. Follow the instructions for
assembly, disassembly and posi-
tioning that the manufacturer must
supply with the child seat.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is supplied with front airbags
for both the driver and passenger, and
window bags (head protection sys-
tem). On driver’s request, it can be
supplied with front side airbags.
The front airbags (for driver and pas-
senger) have been designed to protect
the passengers sitting on the front
seats in the event of head-on crashes
of medium-high severity, by placing
the bag between the person and the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Non-deployment of the airbags dur-
ing other types of collisions (side col-
lisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.)
does not necessarily indicate a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the
bag to inflate in the event of a frontal
crash. The bag inflates instanta-
neously placing itself between the
front passenger’s body and the struc-
tures which could cause injury. It de-
flates immediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags are
not a replacement of, but comple-
mentary to the seat belts, which you
are always recommended to wear, as
specified by law in Europe and most
non-European countries.
In the event of a collision, a person
not wearing the seat belt may bethrown forward and come into con-
tact with the bag before it has fully
opened. The protection offered by the
bag is reduced in such a case.
Front airbags may not be activated in
the following situations:
❒during collisions against highly de-
formable objects that do not affect
the car front surface (e.g. bumper
collision against guard rail, heaps
of gravel, etc.);
❒jamming of the car underneath
other vehicles or protective barri-
ers (e.g. underneath a truck or a
guard rail); in this case, the bags
would offer no additional protec-
tion with respect to the seat belt
and their deployment is unneces-
sary. In these cases non-deploy-
ment of the airbag does not neces-
sarily indicate a system malfunc-
tion.
The front airbags on the driver’s and
passenger’s sides are designed and cal-
ibrated to protect the front seat pas-
sengers who wear the safety belts. The
volume of front airbags at max. infla-
tion fills most of the space between
the steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the pas-
senger.FRONT AIRBAG ON DRIVER’S
SIDE fig. 17
It consists of an instant-inflating bag
contained in a special recess in the
centre of the steering wheel.

FRONT AIRBAG ON
PASSENGER’S SIDE fig. 18
It consists of an instant-inflating bag
contained into a special recess Ain the
dashboard. The bag is larger in vol-
ume than the airbag on the driver’s
side. The airbags are not deployed in
the event of collisions of low severity
(for which the withholding action of
the seat belts is sufficient). For this
reason, the seat belt must be worn at
all times. During side collisions the
seat belts hold passengers in the cor-
rect position and prevent ejection
from the car during very violent col-
lisions.
Do not apply stickers/de-
cals or other objects on the
steering wheel, in area A-fig. 18 on
the passenger side airbag or side
upholstery on the roof side. Do not
place objects (e.g. cell phones) on
the passenger side dashboard, be-
cause they could interfere with cor-
rect deployment of the passenger
airbag and cause severe injury to
the persons in the car.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER: do not
arrange child seats facing
backwards if the front airbag on
the passenger’s side is enabled.
Airbag deployment during a crash
may cause fatal injuries to the
child.
WARNING
If the car is equipped with
a deactivation system for
the front passenger
airbag, disable it when-
ever the child seat needs to
be mounted on the front
seat. Move the passenger’s seat as
far back as possible to avoid con-
tact between the child seat and the
dashboard. Although this is not
mandatory by law, the airbag
should be immediately reactivated
when children are no longer car-
ried to ensure better protection to
adults.
