WARNING
Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging
the child
lock on both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with
the internal handle.
PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR AND REAR
DOOR EMERGENCY LOCKING DEVICE
The passenger side front door and the rear doors
have a device to lock them when there is no power.
In this case proceed as follows:
❒engage the metal insert of the ignition key in
position Afig. 54 (passenger side front door)
or B fig. 53 (rear doors);
❒turn the key clockwise and then remove it from
housing A fig. 54 or B fig. 53.The door lock knob can be realigned (only when
the battery charge has been restored) as follows:
❒press the
button on the remote control;
❒press button
for locking/unlocking the doors;
❒open a front door by inserting the key into the
key pawl;
❒operate the internal door handle.
If the child lock was engaged and the
previously described locking
procedure carried out, operating the
internal handle will not open the door but will
only realign the door lock knobs. To open the
door, the outside handle must be used. The
door central locking/unlocking button
is
not disabled by the engagement of the
emergency lock.
IMPORTANT If the battery is disconnected or the
protection fuse blows, the door opening/closing
mechanism must be reinitialised as follows:
❒close all the doors;
❒press button
on the remote control or button
for locking/unlocking the doors on the
instrument panel;
❒press button
on the remote control or button
for locking/unlocking the doors on the
instrument panel.

travel, hold down the closing control at least 1
second.
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENTThe luggage compartment unlocking is electrically
operated and is deactivated when the car is in
motion.
OPENING
When unlocked, the luggage compartment can be
opened from outside the car using the power
handle A fig. 56 located under the tailgate edge
until the unlocking click is heard or pressing
the
button on the remote control.
The direction indicators will blink twice and an
internal light will switch on when the luggage
compartment is opened: the light switches off
automatically when the luggage compartment is
closed. The light switches off automatically after a
few minutes if the tailgate is left open.

ABS SYSTEMABS is an integral part of the braking system
which prevents, whatever the road conditions and
force applied to the brake pedal, the wheels from
locking and consequently sliding under braking,
thus ensuring that the car remains under control
even during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution) completes the system allowing the
brake force to be distributed between the front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To obtain the maximum efficiency
of the braking system, a bedding-in period of
about 500 km is needed: during this period it is
better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged
braking.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but
it cannot improve
it; you should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS system has come
into action because the brake pedal pulsates
slightly and the system gets noisier: it means that
the car speed should be altered to suit the type
of road surface.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in and you feel
the brake pedal
pulsating, do not
remove your foot, but keep the pedal pushed
down; in doing so you, will stop in the
shortest distance possible under the road
conditions at the time.
WARNING
If the ABS system is activated, this
indicates that the
traction of the tires
on the road is nearing its limit. You must
slow down to a speed compatible with the
available wheel traction.

When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel
effort is lighter, parking operations are easier:
therefore this function is particularly useful for
driving in city centres.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market
operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect performance
and safety, invalidate warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the car with
type approval requirements.
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres
requiring a lot of steering, the steering may
become harder; this is normal and is due to the
intervention of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating, so no
intervention is required. When the car is used
again later on, the power steering will work
normally.
WARNING
Before starting any servicing
operation, stop the
engine and
remove the key from the ignition switch to
operate the steering lock, particularly when
the wheels do not touch the ground. If this
is not possible (for example if the key needs
to be turned to MAR-ON or the engine must
be running), remove the main fuse that
protects the electric power steering.

For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with
EN590 European specifications. The
use of other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, depending on the
damage caused. If you accidentally refuel with
another type of fuel, do not start the engine,
and drain the fuel tank. If the engine has been
run, even for only a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel system emptied in
addition to the tank.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the
pump switches off. Further top-ups could cause
faults in the fuel feeding system.
REFUELLING PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
EQUIPPED WITH FUEL TANK PLUG
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Refuel as follows:
❒open the flap A fig. 84 pulling it outwards;
❒keep the plug B still, insert the ignition key in
the lock and turn it anticlockwise;
❒Turn the plug anticlockwise and remove it.The plug has a device C fig. 84 that attaches it to
the flap so that it cannot be lost. When refilling,
attach the plug to the flap, as shown.
After refuelling, fit the plug B fig. 84 (complete
with key) and turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more. Turn the key clockwise and remove it.
Close the flap A.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure increase in
the tank. A little breathing off, while unscrewing
the plug or introducing the gun in the versions
equipped with "Smart Fuel", is therefore
absolutely normal.

SAFETY
SEAT BELTSUSING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the torso straight
and rested against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A fig. 89
and insert it into the buckle B, until the locking
click is heard. On removal, if it jams, let it rewind
for a short stretch, then pull it out again without
jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide
the seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding,
to prevent it from twisting. Through the reel,
the belt automatically adapts to the body of the
passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.
WARNING
Never press button C fig. 89 when
travelling.
The reel
may lock when the car is parked on a
steep slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore,
the reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled
sharply or in the event of sudden braking,
collisions and high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat belts with
three anchor points and a reel. Fasten the rear seat
belts as shown in fig. 90 (4-seater versions) or
(5-seater versions) fig. 91.

WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front
of your chest or between
your lips (pipe, pencils, etc.). They could
cause severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
WARNING
The expiry dates of the explosive
charge and the
clock spring are
shown on a specific label contained in the
glove box. Contact a Lancia Dealership
to have them replaced when the expiry date
approaches.
WARNING
If your car has been subject to theft,
attempted theft, vandalism,
or
flooding, contact a Lancia Dealership to
have the airbag system checked.
WARNING
The airbags may also be deployed
when the car
is not moving, if the key
is in the ignition and turned to MAR or when
the engine is off, if the car is hit by another
moving vehicle. For this reason, children
must never occupy the front seat, even if the
car is not moving. On the other hand, if
the key is inserted in STOP position, none of
the safety devices (airbags or pretensioners)
will be deployed in the event of impact.
Non-deployment of these devices does not
indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the warning
light
(with
passenger side front airbag active) switches
on for a few seconds to remind you that
the passenger airbag will be deployed in an
impact, after which it should switch off.
WARNING
The
warning light flashes to
indicate
warning light failure. In
this case, for versions/markets where
provided, the explosive charges of the
passenger airbag are deactivated.
