Replacing the remote control cover fig. 13
To replace the remote control cover, follow the procedure
shown in the diagram.ALARM (where provided)
The alarm, which is provided in addition to the remote
control functions described previously, is controlled by a
receiver located under the dashboard, near the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
when a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened ille-
gally (perimeter protection);
when the ignition system is operated (ignition key ro-
tated to MAR);
when the battery cables are cut;
when someone is moving inside the passenger com-
partment (volume-sensing protection);
when the vehicle is lifted or tilted.
According to the market, when the alarm is tripped this
operates the alarm siren and direction indicators (for ap-
proximately 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and the number
of cycles depend on the sales market.
There are a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles.
When this is reached the system returns to normal oper-
ation.
The volume sensing and anti-tilt protection can be ex-
cluded by adjusting the dedicated control on the front
courtesy light (see “volume sensing/anti-tilt protection”).

BONNET
OPENING fig. 65
Proceed as follows:
pull lever A in the direction indicated by the arrow;
operate lever B as shown in the diagram;
lift the bonnet and at the same time release support
rod C from its catch, then insert the end of the rod in-
to seat D in the bonnet (larger hole) and push to safe-
ty position (smaller hole), as shown in the diagram.
Incorrect positioning of the support rod may
cause the bonnet to drop suddenly. Perform these
operations when the car is stationary only.
Before lifting the bonnet, ensure that the
wiper arm is not lifted from the windscreen.

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 75
To refuel, press flap A to release it and access the fuel tank
cap. The flap is locked with the central locking on.
Undo cap B which has a device C retaining it to the flap so
it cannot be lost. The hermetic seal may cause a slight in-
crease in pressure in the tank. A suction noise when you
release the cap is therefore entirely normal.
When refuelling, fasten the cap to the device inside the flap
as shown in the diagram.
fig. 75L0E0060m
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes
near to the fuel filler: fire risk. Keep your face
away from the fuel filler to avoid breathing
in harmful vapours.
EMERGENCY OPENING OF THE FLAP
In an emergency it is possible to open the flap by pulling
the cord A-fig. 76.
To get to the cord, remove the cover.

The rear seat belts must be used as shown in the diagram
in fig. 2.
IMPORTANT After putting the seats back in their travel
position, restore the seat belt position to make them ready
for use.
IMPORTANT If the rear seat is being moved and this cau-
ses the middle seat belt to lock temporarily, normal con-
ditions can be restored by simply moving the seat towards
the back of the car.

S.B.R. SYSTEM
The car is provided with the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder)
system, which warns the driver and the front passenger
if the seat belt is not buckled, as follows:
warning light
tinuously for the first 6 seconds;
warning light
mittently for the next 96 seconds.
To deactivate the system permanently, contact a Lancia
Dealership.

GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the car seat belts di-
rectly fig. 4.
The child seat is only needed to position the child correctly
with respect to the belts so that the diagonal section cross-
es the child’s chest and never the neck and is snug on the
hips not the abdomen.
GROUP 3
For children from 22 kg to 36 kg the size of the child’s
chest no longer requires a support to space the child’s back
from the seat back. Figure 4 shows proper child seat positioning on the rear
seat. Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts
like adults.
Below is a summary of the safety rules to be followed when
carrying children.
1) The recommended position for installing child seats
is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected area in
the event of a crash.
2) If the passenger’s air bag is deactivated always check
the amber warning light “is lit on the instrument pan-
el to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child
restraint system which are mandatory by law. Keep the
instructions in the car along with the other papers and
this handbook. Do not use child seats without in-
structions.
4) Always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling
the webbing.
5) Only one child is to be strapped to each retaining sys-
tem; never carry two children using one child seat.
6) Always check the seat belts do not rest on the child’s
throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or
release the belts.
8) Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-
one, however strong, can hold a child in the event of
an accident.
9) In the event of an accident, replace the child’s seat with
a new one.
The diagrams are indicative and provided for
assembly purposes only. Refer to the in-
structions supplied with the child seat. Some
child restraint systems for weight groups 0 and 1
have a rear attachment to the car seat belts and their
own seat belts for securing the child. Due to their
weight, they may be dangerous if incorrectly mount-
ed (e.g. if fastened to the car seat belts with a cush-
ion in between). Follow the assembly instructions
carefully.

STARTING UP AND DRIVING151

PARKING THE CAR
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.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is further advisable
to block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the ignition key on MAR to prevent drain-
ing the battery. Always remove the key when you leave the
car.
Never leave children unattended in the car. Always remove
the ignition key when leaving the car and take it out with
you.

USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and shift
the gear lever into one of the required positions (the gear
diagram varies according to the different versions and is
shown on the knob or on the plate below the lever fig. 2).
To engage sixth gear, operate the lever by pressing it to-
wards the right in order to avoid engaging fourth gear by
mistake. Use the same action to pass from sixth to fifth
gear.
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be engaged when the car
is at a standstill. With the engine running, wait at least 2
seconds before engaging reverse gear with the clutch
pressed down to the floor in order to avoid damaging or
scraping the gears.

using the wrench provided, tighten the retaining bolts;
press-fit the hub cap, aligning the special groove (on
the cap) with the inflation valve;
lower the car and remove the jack;
using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown previously in the diagram.Versions with alloy wheels
insert the wheel on the hub and tighten the bolts us-
ing the wrench provided;
lower the car and remove the jack;
using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown in fig. 8;
reinstall the press-fitted hub cap, making sure that the
reference hole on the wheel is aligned with the refer-
