FUEL FILLER CAP
The opening of the fuel flap is inter-
locked with the door opening/closing
control. For this reason, if the doors
are locked, in order to refuel, press
buttonD-fig. 122.
The cap C-fig, 121is provided with a
loss prevention device Bwhich secures
it to the lid Aso that it cannot be lost.
To open the cap C, turn it anticlock-
wise and remove it. FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top-up
twice after the pump switches off.
Further top-ups could cause faults in
the fuel feeding system.
For diesel engines, use diesel
fuel for motor vehicles com-
pliant with EN590 Euro-
pean specifications only. The
use of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently cause lapse of warranty
in relation to the damage caused. If
you accidentally introduce other types
of fuel in the tank, do not start the en-
gine and empty the tank. If the engine
has run also for a very short time, you
will need to have the entire fuel feed
system emptied in addition to the
tank.

peratures, etc.) and it will then calcu-
late the amount of particulates trapped
by the filter. Since this filter physically
traps particulates, it shall be cleaned
(reclaimed) at regular intervals by
burning carbon particles. The regener-
ation procedure is controlled automat-
ically by the engine control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and the
conditions of use of the car. During the
regeneration procedure, the following
situations may occur: limited increase
of idle speed, activation of electric fan,
limited increase of smoke, high tem-
peratures at the exhaust. These are not
anomalies; they do not impair car be-
haviour and the environment. If the
dedicated message is displayed, refer to
section “Warning lights and messages”.PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒fuel evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run,
even for a test, with one or more spark
plugs disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(for 1.3 Multijet 90 CV versions)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a me-
chanical filter, integral with the exhaust
system, that physically traps particu-
lates present in the exhaust gases of
Diesel engines. The diesel particulate
filter has been adopted to eliminate al-
most totally particulates in compliance
with current / future law regulations.
During normal use of the car, the en-
gine control unit records a set of data
(e.g.: travel time, type of route, tem- During refuelling, attach the cap to
the device on the inside of the flap, as
shown in the figure.
IMPORTANT The sealing of the tank
may cause light pressuring in the
tank. A little breathing off, while
slackening the cap, is absolutely nor-
mal.
After refuelling, tighten the cap by
turning it clockwise until you hear one
or more clicks. Then turn the key
clockwise and remove it and close the
flap.
Do not place naked flames
or lit cigarettes near to the
fuel filler: fire risk. Keep your face
away from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.
WARNING
The catalytic converter de-
velops high temperature
during operation. Do not park on
grass, dry leaves, pine needles or
other flammable material: fire risk.

SEAT BELTS
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 ver-
sions) or diagram E-fig. 3(4 seat ver-
sions).

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 Bto
the most suitable of the allowed posi-
tions.
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. Re-
lease the grip and push downwards
to enable the locking device to click
if the grip has not been released in
one of the possible positions.

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 af-
ter is has been deployed. For device
validity refer to the plate positioned
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 vibrations
caused by irregularities of the road
surface or low obstacles such as kerbs,
etc. Contact Lancia Dealership 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 ad-
here to the passenger’s hips and not
to the abdomen. Do not use devices
(clips, clamps, etc.) that prevent the
belts from being snug to the passen-
gers’ body.
WARNING
Under no circumstances
should the seat belt and
pretensioner components be re-
moved or tampered with. All inter-
ventions must be performed by
qualified and authorised personnel
only. Always go to a Lancia Dealer-
ship.
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.
