Electric window system initialisation
The safety system must be re-initialised after disconnect-
ing the battery or if the relevant protection fuse is blown.
Initialisation procedure:
❍fully close the window to be initialised manually;
❍after the window has reached the upper end of travel,
hold the up button pressed for at least one second.
IMPORTANT Where provided, following the disconnec-
tion of the power supply (replacing or disconnecting the
battery or replacing the protection fuse for the electric win-
dows control units), the automatic setting for the electric
windows must be reset.The reset operation should be carried out with the doors
closed according to the following procedure:
1. completely lower the driver-side window and keep the
button pressed for at least 3 seconds once the end of
travel position has been reached;
2. completely raise the driver-side window and keep the
button pressed for at least 3 seconds once the end of
travel position has been reached;
3. repeat stages 1 and 2 for the passenger-side window
4. check that the initialisation has taken place correctly
by checking the automatic operation of the windows.
IMPORTANT With central locking on, operating the in-
ternal handle of one of the doors will unlock all the doors.
If there is no power (blown fuse, battery disconnected,
etc.) the doors can still be locked manually. As in this case
the automatic window opening function is not available,
to open or close the door with the window closed, apply
pressure to the window towards the vehicle interior, to aid
the passage of the window against the trim.

On the 1.4 Turbo Jet 150 HP version, when the SPORT
button is pressed, the turbocharger (overboost) function
is also activated; the engine management control unit, de-
pending on the
position of the accelerator pedal and, for a limited time,
allows maximum pressure leves inside the turbocharger
to be reached with a consequent increase in engine torque
compared with that that can be reached normally.
This function is particularly useful if maximum perfor-
mance is required for a short period (e.g. when overtak-
ing).
IMPORTANT When the SPORT function is used, during
acceleration shuddering of the steering may be noticed
which is typical of a sports setting.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
System failure
In the case of fault, the system notifies the driver by means
of a message on the reconfigurable multifunctional display
instrument panel and by lighting up the amber symbol
i.
In this case, go to a Lancia Dealership.
DRIVING ADVISOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Driving Advisor is a warning system that notifies
the driver if they drift out of their lane because they have
been distracted.
A video sensor, fitted to the windscreen near the internal
rear-view mirror, detects the lane boundaries and the ve-
hicle’s position in respect to them.
IMPORTANT If the windscreen needs replacing on cars
fitted with a Driving Advisor system, it is advisable to go
to a Lancia Dealership. If the repair is being carried out
at a specialist window replacement centre, it is still nec-
essary to go to a Lancia Dealership to have the tv cam-
era calibrated.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is provided with front air bags for the driver and
the passenger, driver’s knee air bag (for versions/markets,
where provided) and front side bags (side bags - window
bags).
The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knee air
bags) have been designed to protect the occupants in the
event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by plac-
ing a cushion between the occupant and the steering wheel
or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect car’s occupants in
head-on crashes and therefore non-activation in other
types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs,
etc.) is not a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate in the
event of a head-on crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself between
the front occupant’s body and the structures which could
cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knee air
bags) do not replace but rather complement 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 a seat belt
may be thrown forward and come into contact with the
bag before it has fully opened. The protection offered by
the bag is reduced in such a case.The front airbags may not be activated in the following sit-
uations:
❍in collisions against highly deformable objects not af-
fecting the front surface of the car (e.g. bumper colli-
sion against guard rail, etc.);
❍car penetration under other vehicles or protective bar-
riers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
in these instances they would not provide any additional
protection compared with the seat belts, so their deploy-
ment would be improper. Non deployment in such cases
does not constitute a fault.
Do not apply stickers or other objects to the
steering wheel, the dashboard in the passen-
ger-side airbag area, the roof side upholstery
or the seats. Do not place objects (e.g. cell phones)
on the passenger-side dashboard because these
could interfere with the correct opening of the airbag
and cause severe injury to occupants.

SIDE AIRBAGS
(Side bag - Window bag)
SIDE BAG fig. 10
This consists of an instant-inflating cushion housed in the
front seat backrest. It protects the chest and the hips of
the passengers in the event of a side impact of medium-
high severity.WINDOW BAGS fig. 11
It is formed by two "curtain" window bags are located be-
hind the side roof upholstery and are covered by special
trimming. They were designed to protect the head of front
and rear passengers in case of side collisions, thanks to the
wide cushion inflation surface.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side crash, the system pro-
vides best protection if the passenger sits on the seat in a
correct position, thus allowing correct window bag de-
ployment.

162SAFETY
IMPORTANT The front and /or side air bags may activate
in the event of sharp knocks to the underbody of the ve-
hicle (e.g. impact with steps, pavements, potholes or road
bumps etc.).
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will be released
when the airbags are deployed. The dust is not harmful
and is not the result of a fire. Furthermore, the surface of
the deployed bag and the interior of the car may be cov-
ered in a dusty residue: This dust may irritate the skin and
the eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in the event of
exposure. The expiry date of the explosive charge and the
clock wire are shown on a specific label on the door edge.
Refer to the Lancia Dealership when it’s time to replace
them.
Do not rest your head, arms or elbows on the
door, on the windows and on the window bag
area to avoid injuries during inflation. Nev-
er lean your head, arms or elbows out of window.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags and side bags
are deployed according to different logics on the basis of
the type of collision. Non-deployment of one of the devices
does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.
IMPORTANT If any safety device has activated due to
an accident, refer to a Lancia Dealership to replace them
and check system integrity.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement must only be car-
ried out c/o a Lancia Dealership. If you are having the car
scrapped, have the airbag system deactivated at a Lan-
cia Dealership first. If the car changes ownership, the new
owner must be informed of how to use the airbags and the
above warnings: s/he must also be given this “Owner’s
Handbook”.

174STARTING UP AND DRIVING
Keep your speed down when snow chains are
fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
steps and pavements and avoid also driving
for long distances on roads not covered with snow
to avoid damaging the car and the roadbed.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
Snow chains may be applied only to the front wheel tyres
(drive wheels).
Check the tension of the chains after the first few metres
have been driven.
IMPORTANT The spare wheel cannot be fitted with snow
chains. If the front tyre has a puncture, replace a rear wheel
with the spare wheel and move the rear wheel to the front
axle. This way, having two standard size wheels on the
front axle, is it possible to fit the chains.
EXTENDED CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, the
following precautions should be observed:
❍park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-ven-
tilated place;
❍engage a gear;
❍check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❍disconnect battery negative terminal and check the bat-
tery charge (see paragraph “Battery - Charge and elec-
trolyte level check” in chapter “5”);
❍clean and protect the painted parts of the vehicle with
protective wax;
❍clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds readily available;
❍sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
❍slightly open the windows;
❍cover the car with a fabric or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use compact plastic sheets which do not allow
humidity to evaporate from the surface of the car;
❍inflate the tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the
normal specified pressure and check the pressure at
regular intervals;
❍do not drain the engine cooling system.
