and with the other remove rod
Cfrom recess and fit it back into
its catchD;
❒lower the bonnet to approximately
20 centimetres from the engine
compartment and let it come down.
Make sure that the bonnet is com-
pletely closed and not only fastened
by the safety catch by trying to
open it. If it is not perfectly closed,
open the bonnet and repeat the
procedure. No not simply press it.
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed properly to avoid its
opening while the car is travelling.ROOF BARS

IMPORTANT Use of Lineaccessori
Lancia roof bars is recommended.
Follow the instructions contained in
the assembly kit to the letter. Assem-
bly must be performed by qualified
personnel.
The bonnet may drop sud-
denly if the supporting rod
is not in correct position.
WARNING
Perform these operations
when the car is stationary
only.

SAFETY
The research results in relation to the
best protection for children is illus-
trated in European Regulation EEC-
R44 which divides the restraint sys-
tems into five groups in addition to
making their use compulsory:
Group 0 up to 10 kg of weight
Group 0+ up to 13 kg of weight
Group 1 9-18 kg of weight
Group 2 15-25 kg of weight
Group 3 22-36 kg of weight
As it may be noted, the groups over-
lap partly and in fact, there are de-
vices that cover more than one weight
group.
All child restraint devices must bear
the certification data, together with
the control brand, on a solidly fixed
label which must absolutely never be
removed.
When over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems,
children are considered as adults and
have to wear the standard seat belts.
Lineaccessori Lancia includes child
restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are recom-
mended having been specifically de-
signed for Lancia cars.
SEVERE DANGER: Do
not arrange child seats
facing backwards on the front seat
if the passenger’s airbag is en-
abled. Deployment of the airbag in
an accident could cause fatal in-
juries to the baby. It is advisable to
carry children on the rear seat,
which is the most protected posi-
tion in the event of an accident.
Child seats must not be fitted on
the front seat of cars fitted with a
passenger air bag, whose deploy-
ment in an accident could cause fa-
tal injuries to the baby regardless
of the seriousness of the impact.
WARNING
In case of need, the pas-
senger airbag can be de-
activated and children can
be place on the front seat.
It is very important to
check that the airbag has
been deactivated by means of the
amber warning light (see the chap-
ter on first and side airbags,
specifically the paragraph on pas-
senger front airbags). Move the
passenger’s seat as far back as
possible to avoid contact between
the child seat and the dashboard.

GROUP 0 and 0+ (fig. 10)
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
facing backwards on a cradle seat,
which, supporting the head, does not
induce stress on the neck in the event
of sharp deceleration.
The cradle is held in place by the car
seat belts and in turn it must restrain
the child with its own belts.GROUP 1 (fig. 11)
Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight,
children may be carried facing for-
wards.

WARNING
GROUP 2 (fig. 12)
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use
the car seat belts directly. The child
seat is only needed to position 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 not the
abdomen.

assembly purposes only.
Refer to the instructions supplied

SAFETY
Below is a summary of the rules
of safety to be followed for
carrying children:
❒The recommended position for in-
stalling child’s seat is on the rear
seat, as it is the most protected in
the case of a crash.
❒If the passenger’s air bag is deac-
tivated always check the amber
warning light “on the cluster to
make sure that it has actually been
deactivated.
❒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 instructions.
❒Always check the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling the webbing.❒Only one child is to be strapped to
each retaining system.
❒Always check the seat belts do not
fit around the child’s throat.
❒While travelling, do not let the
child sit incorrectly or release the
belts.
❒Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No-one, however
strong, can hold a child in the case
of an accident.
❒In case of an accident, replace the
child’s seat with a new one. “UNIVERSAL
ISOFIX” CHILD
RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUP
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car is provisioned for a Universal
Isofix child restraint, a new European
standardised system for carrying chil-
dren safely.
An example of such a seat is shown in
fig. 14.
The Universal Isofix child seat covers
weight group 1.
Never arrange a child re-
straint seat on the front
seat in presence of a passenger
airbag because children must never
travel on the front seat.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of
your vehicle down and lower the
amount of toxic emissions released
into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Service
schedule”.
Ty r e s
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption
because rolling resistance will be
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
boot. The weight of the car (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These acces-
sories decrease aerodynamic penetra-
tion of the car and have a negative ef-
fect on consumption. It is better to use
a trailer to transport particularly
bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the
amount of time needed. Rear heated
window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, there-
fore increasing the requirement of
current increases fuel consumption
(up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires
higher fuel consumption (up to +20%
in average): use the air vents when the
external temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag
and fuel consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the
car standing: the engine warms up
very slowly in these conditions, in-
creasing consumption and emissions.
It is advisable to start off immediately
and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much
faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at
traffic lights or before stopping the
engine. The latter action, like dou-
bling the clutch, is unnecessary and
causes increase of consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic
and road conditions allow. Using a
low gear for faster acceleration will in-
crease consumption.
In the same way improper use of a
high gear increases consumption,
emissions an engine wear.

STARTING
AND DRIVING
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably in-
creases as speed increases. Keep your
speed as even as possible, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration
which cause excessive fuel consump-
tion and increase emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very nega-
tive effect on consumptions and emis-
sions: accelerate gradually and do not
go over the maximum torque ratio.CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold
start-ups will prevent the engine from
reaching optimal running tempera-
ture. Consequently, both consumption
(from +15 to +30% on urban cycle )
and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when trav-
elling in a queue with frequent use of
low gears or in cities with many traf-
fic lights. Mountain and rough roads
also have a negative effect on con-
sumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be provided with a
type-approved tow hitch and ade-
quate electric system to tow caravans
or trailers. Installation must be per-
formed by specialised personnel who
will issue the required papers for trav-
elling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
rearview mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtak-
ing takes longer depending on the
overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly us-
ing the brake.
