“ISOFIX” CHILD RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUP
The car can be fitted with a Universal Isofix child re-
straint, a new European standardised system for carry-
ing children safely.
Isofix systems can be fitted alongside a traditional re-
straint system. An example of a child seat is shown in fig.
5. The Universal Isofix child seat covers weight group 1.
Specific Isofix child seats cover the other weight groups.
These seats must be designed, tested and type-approved
specifically for this car (refer to the list of cars attached
to the child seat).
Due to its different anchoring system, the child seat must
be anchored to the dedicated lower metal rings A-fig. 6,
set between rear seat backrest and rear cushion. After re-
moving the rear parcel shelf, secure the upper belt (pro-
vided with the child’s seat) to ring (after having opened
the associated covering zip B-fig. 6) located in the rear
seat backrest. Remember that, in the case of Universal Isofix child seats,
you can use all those seats bearing the marking ECE
R44/03 Universal Isofix.

KNEE BAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 9
(for versions/markets where provided)
It consists of an instantly cushion housed into a special
compartment provided for the purpose under the lower
post guard at driver’s knee level, designed to give fur-
ther protection in the event of frontal impact.MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER FRONT
AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat, the passenger front and side airbags can be de-
activated.
The instrument panel warning light
“will stay on con-
stantly until the passenger front air bag and the Side Bag
are reactivated.
IMPORTANT To deactivate the passenger’s front air bag
and the Side Bag (for versions/markets where provided),
refer to paragraphs “Multifunction display” and “Recon-
figurable multifunction display” in chapter “1”.
SERIOUS DANGER: never place cradle
child seats facing backwards on the front
passenger’s seat of cars with active passen-
ger’s air bag. Deployment of the airbag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Always deactivate the passenger air bag
when placing a child seat on the front seat. Move
the passenger’s seat as far back as possible to avoid
contact between the child seat and the dashboard.
Even when this is not mandatory by law, the air
bag should be immediately reactivated when chil-
dren are no longer carried to ensure better protec-
tion for the adults.

SAFETY175
With ignition key inserted, on MAR, even if
the engine is off, the air bags can activate
with the car stopped, if it is hit by another
vehicle. For this reason, children must never sit on
the front seat, even if the car is not moving. We re-
mind you that if the key is inserted and turned to
STOP, no safety device (air bag or pretensioner) is
activated following a collision; non-deployment in
such cases is consequently not the sign of a fault.
When the key is turned to MAR, the warn-
ing light “turns on, flashing for a few sec-
onds, to remind you that the passenger air
bag will activate in the event of a collision, then it
turns off.
Do not wash the seats with pressurized wa-
ter jets or steam (manually or at automatic
washing stations).
The front air bags deploy in the event of more
severe collisions than those required for de-
ploying the pretensioners. For collisions in
the range between the two activation thresholds,
pretensioner activation alone is normal.
Do not hook rigid objects to clothes hangers
and support handles.
The airbag does not replace seat belts; it in-
creases their effectiveness. Furthermore,
since front air bags are not deployed in low
speed collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts or
roll-overs, the passengers are only protected by the
seat belts which must be fastened at all times.

STARTING AND DRIVING181
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between the two front
seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the handbrake, until
the vehicle is braked.
The car should be braked after a few clicks
of the lever; if it is not, contact a Lancia
Dealership to have it adjusted.
When the handbrake is on and the ignition key is at MAR,
the instrument panel warning light xwill come on.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
❍slightly lift the handbrake and press release button
A-fig. 1;
❍keep button A pressed and lower the lever. The warn-
ing light xon the instrument panel will turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the car from moving accidentally. PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❍stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❍engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the car
is facing uphill or reverse if it is facing downhill) and
leave the wheels steered.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is also advisable
to block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the ignition key turned to MAR to prevent
draining the battery. Always remove the key when you
leave the car.
Never leave children in the unattended car. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving the car and take it
out with you.
