ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY
THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to
install electrical accessories that re-
quire a permanent electric supply
(sound system, satellite antitheft sys-
tem, etc.) or accessories that in any
case burden the electric supply, con-
tact a Lancia Dealership, whose qual-
ified personnel, besides suggesting the
most suitable devices belonging to
Lineaccessori Lancia, will also evalu-
ate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric
system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be in-
tegrated with a more powerful bat-
tery. SET-UP FOR MOBILE PHONE
(where provided)
The combined mobile phone and CD
or CD MP3 sound system set-up con-
sists of:
❒dual function antenna (sound sys-
tem + mobile telephone 900/1800
MHz), located on the roof of the
car;
❒connecting wires to the dual func-
tion antenna and wiring with 10-
way connector.
The connector is located between the
steering column and the central box.
The Customer is responsible
for the purchasing of the
hands-free kit as it must be
compatible with his/her own
mobile phone. It is advisable to install
the microphone near to the front light.
The maximum power ap-
plicable to the antenna is
20W.
WARNING
For the installation of the
mobile phone and its con-
nection to the set-up existing in the
car, contact a Lancia Dealership so
as to provide for any possible prob-
lems that could damage the safety of
the car.
WARNING
Be very careful when fitting
non-standard additional
spoilers, light alloy wheels or wheel
caps: they could reduce brake ven-
tilation and consequently brake ef-
ficiency in the case of repeated, vio-
lent braking or on long downhill
roads. Ensure that nothing (e.g. rub-
ber mats) obstructs the stroke of the
pedals.

ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICE INSTALLATION
The electric/electronic devices in-
stalled subsequent to the purchase of
the car and included in the after-sales
service must be marked:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the in-
stallation of transceiver devices on
condition that such installations are
carried out in a workmanlike fashion,
following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, at a specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road in the event
of assembly of devices which imply
modifications to the features of the
car. This may also cause lapse of war-
ranty in relation to faults caused by
the change or either directly or indi-
rectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for
damage caused by the installation of
accessories either not supplied or rec-
ommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A.
and/or installed in compliance with
the provided instructions.“DUALDRIVE”
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electri-
cally controlled power steering system
called “Dualdrive” working only with
ignition key at MARand engine run-
ning, that can be customised by the
driver according to the driving condi-
tions.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To enable/disable the function, press
the button fig. 119located on the cen-
tral area of the instrument dashboard.
The enabling of the function is sig-
nalled by the displaying of the word
CITY on the multifunctional display.
With CITY function on, wheel effort
is lighter, easing parking manoeuvres:
The function is particularly helpful
while driving in city centres. TRANSCEIVERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-
tacs mobile phones, HAM radio sys-
tems and the like) shall not be used
inside the car unless a separate aerial
is mounted on the roof.
The use of similar devices inside the
passenger compartment (without sep-
arate aerial) produces radio-frequency
electromagnetic fields which, ampli-
fied by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause
electrical systems equipping the car to
malfunction. This could compromise
safety in addition to constituting a po-
tential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and recep-
tion of these devices may be affected
by the shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly
comply with the instructions for use
provided by the mobile phone’s man-
ufacturer.

IMPORTANT When making ma-
noeuvres requiring maximum steering
efforts, the steering wheel may be-
come hard to turn; this is normal and
is due to the intervention of the steer-
ing control electric motor overheating
protection system. No repairs are,
therefore, required. The power steer-
ing system will return to normal op-
eration the next time the car is used.PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper and their function is to in-
form the driver, through an intermit-
tent buzzer, of the presence of obsta-
cles behind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically acti-
vated when the reverse gear is en-
gaged. As the distance from the ob-
stacle behind the car decreases, the
acoustic alarm becomes more fre-
quent.
fig. 119L0D0419m
Under no circumstances
should after-market opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out, because they could
badly affect performance and safety,
cause the lapse of the warranty and
also result in car non-compliance
with homologation requirements.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the power steering is in-
dicated by instrument panel warning
light
gcoming on together with the
message on the multifunction display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”). In the event of a failure of the
electric power steering, the car con-
tinues in any case to be manoeuvrable
with mechanical steering so that it can
be taken soon as possible to a Lancia
Dealership.
Before servicing the car,
switch off the engine and
remove the key from the ignition de-
vice, activating the steering lock, es-
pecially when car wheels do not
touch the ground. If this is not pos-
sible (if the key must be on MAR or
the engine must be running), re-
move the main fuse which protects
the electric power steering.

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/decals
or other objects on the
steering wheel, in area A-fig. 18 on
the passenger side airbag or side up-
holstery 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 whenever the
child seat needs to be
mounted on the front seat.
Move the passenger’s seat as far
back as possible to avoid contact be-
tween the child seat and the dash-
board. Although this is not manda-
tory by law, the airbag should be
immediately reactivated when chil-
dren are no longer carried to ensure
better protection to adults.

Always drive keeping your
hands on the steering wheel
so that the airbag can inflate with-
out obstacles if it is deployed. Do
not drive with your body bent for-
ward. Keep your back straight
against the backrest. If the car is
stolen or an attempt is made to steal
it, or if the car has been subjected to
illegal attacks or flooding, have the
airbag system checked by a Lancia
Dealership.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying ob-
jects on your lap or opposite
the chest and keeping a pipe, pen-
cils, etc. between your lips in order
to avoid serious injuries due to de-
ployment of the airbag after a colli-
sion.
WARNING
The front airbag is de-
ployed in the event of colli-
sions having a more severe nature
than those required to activate the
pretensioners. For collisions in the
range between the two activation
thresholds, pretensioner activation
is normal.
WARNING
Turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light “
(airbag on passenger’s side enabled)
goes on and flashes for a few sec-
onds, thus reminding the passenger
that the airbag on his/her side will
deploy in the event of a collision. Af-
ter this time, the light goes off.
WARNING
Do not wash the car seats
with water or pressurised
steam (both by hand or at automatic
washing stations).
WARNING
The airbag does not replace
the safety belts, it increases
their effectiveness. Furthermore,
since front airbags are not deployed
after low speed collisions, side colli-
sions, rear-end shunts or roll-overs,
the passengers are only protected by
the seat belts which must be fas-
tened at all times.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to
cloth hangers and to the
support handles.
WARNING
If the ignition key is in
place and in the MAR posi-
tion, the airbags are deployed even
with the engine off in the event of a
car crash against another moving
vehicle. For this reason, children
must never sit on the front seat, even
if the car is not moving. On the other
hand, whenever the key is positioned
on STOP, the safety devices (airbags
or pretensioners) do not deploy af-
ter a collision. In this case non-de-
ployment of these devices does not
indicate a system malfunction.
