2012 Lancia Flavia child lock

SAB air bags are a supplement to the
seat belt restraint system. Occupants,
including children who are up against
or very close to SAB air bags can be
seriously injured or killed. Occupants,
especially children, should not lean on
or sleep against the door, side win-
dows, or area where the SAB air bags
inflate, even if they are in an infant or
child restraint. Always sit upright as
possible with your back against the
seat back, use the seat belts properly,
and use the appropriate sized child
restraint, infant restraint or booster
seat recommended for the size and
weight of the child.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact
events.Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
 Cut off fuel to the engine.
 Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni-
tion key is turned off.
 Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.
 Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Acci-
dent Response System functions after
an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are de-
signed to deflate immediately after
deployment. NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags will not
deploy in all collisions. This does
not mean something is wrong with
the air bag system.
If you do have a collision, which de-
ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:

The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de-
ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or those
you might get sliding along a carpet
or gymnasium floor. They are not
caused by contact with chemicals.
They are not permanent and nor-
mally heal quickly. However, if you
haven't healed significantly within a
few days, or if you have any blister-
ing, see your doctor immediately.

 The lap portion should be low onthe hips and as snug as possible.
 Check belt fit periodically. A child's squirming or slouching can move
the belt out of position.
 If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer
to the center of the vehicle. Never
allow a child to put the shoulder
belt under an arm or behind their
back.WARNING!
 Improper installation can lead tofailure of an infant or child re-
straint. It could come loose in a
collision. The child could be badly
injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer's directions exactly
when installing an infant or child
restraint.
 A rearward-facing child restraint
should only be used in a rear seat.
A rearward-facing child restraint
in the front seat may be struck by
a deploying passenger air bag,
which may cause severe or fatal
injury to the infant. Here are some tips on getting the
most out of your child restraint:
 Children who are large enough to
wear the shoulder belt comfortably,
and whose legs are long enough to
bend over the front of the seat when
their back is against the seatback,
should use the lap/shoulder belt in
a rear seat.
 Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certi-
fying that it meets all applicable
Safety Standards. LANCIA also
recommends that you make sure
that you can install the child re-
straint in the vehicle where you will
use it, before you buy it.
 The restraint must be appropriate for your child's weight and height.
Check the label on the restraint for
weight and height limits.
 Carefully follow the instructions that come with the restraint. If you
install the restraint improperly, it
may not work when you need it.
 All passenger seating positions con- tain automatic locking retractors.
However, any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt
occasionally and pull it tight if nec-
essary.
 Buckle the child into the seat ac- cording to the child restraint manu-
facturer's directions.
WARNING!
When your child restraint is not in
use, secure it in the vehicle with the
seat belt or remove it from the ve-
hicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or collision,
it could strike the occupants or seat-
backs and cause serious personal in-
jury.
ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage
System
Your vehicle is equipped with the
child restraint anchorage system
called ISOFIX. The ISOFIX system
provides for the installation of the
child restraint without using the vehi-
cle's seat belts. The two rear seating
positions have lower anchorages that
are capable of accommodating
ISOFIX-compatible child seats hav-
ing flexible, webbing-mounted lower
attachments or fixed lower attach-
40

WARNING!Improper installation of a child re-
straint to the ISOFIX anchorages can
lead to failure of an infant or child
restraint. The child could be badly
injured or killed. Follow the manu-
facturer's directions exactly when in-
stalling an infant or child restraint.Installing Child Restraints Using
The Vehicle Seat Belts
The seat belts in the rear passenger
seating positions are equipped with
an Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) to secure a Child Restraint
System (CRS). These types of seat
belts are designed to keep the lap por-
tion of the seat belt tight around the
child restraint so that it is not neces-
sary to use a locking clip. The ALR
will make a ratcheting noise if you
extract the entire belt from the retrac-
tor and then allow the belt to retract
into the retractor. For additional in-
formation on ALR, refer to “Auto-
matic Locking Mode”. The chart be-
low defines the seating positions with
an Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) or a cinching latch plate.

 ALR — Automatic Locking Retrac- tor
Installing a Child Restraint with an
ALR:
1. To install a child restraint with
ALR, first, pull enough of the seat belt
webbing from the retractor to route it
through the belt path of the child re-
straint. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.” Next,
extract all the seat belt webbing out of
the retractor and then allow the belt to
retract into the retractor. As the belt
retracts, you will hear a ratcheting
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking mode.
2.
Finally, pull on any excess webbing
to tighten the lap portion around the
child restraint. Any seat belt system will
loosen with time, so check the belt oc-
casionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
 In the rear seat, you may have trouble tightening the lap/shoulder
belt on the child restraint because
the buckle or latch plate is too close
to the belt path opening on the re-
straint. Disconnect the latch plate
from the buckle and twist the short
buckle-end belt several times to
shorten it. Insert the latch plate into
the buckle with the release button
facing out.
 If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on the re-
straint loosens the belt, disconnect
the latch plate from the buckle,
turn the buckle around, and insert
the latch plate into the buckle
again. If you still can’t make the
child restraint secure, try a differ-
ent seating position.
To attach a child restraint tether
strap:
1. If lowered, raise the convertible
top.
NOTE:
The convertible top must be in the
UP position to access the tether
anchor.

STARTING
PROCEDURES
Before starting your vehicle, adjust
your seat, adjust the inside and out-
side mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and
if present, instruct all other occupants
to buckle their seat belts.WARNING!
 When leaving the vehicle, alwaysremove the key fob from the igni-
tion and lock your vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle. Allowing children
to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Chil-
dren should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake
pedal or the shift lever.
 Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave the
ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN
position. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle. AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
The shift lever must be in the PARK or
NEUTRAL position before you can
start the engine. Apply the brakes be-
fore shifting to any driving gear.
NOTE:
The ignition switch must be in the
ON position, and you must press
the brake pedal before shifting out
of PARK.
NORMAL STARTING
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or
a warm engine is obtained without
pumping or pressing the accelera-
tor pedal.
Turn the ignition switch to the START
position and release it as soon as the
starter engages. The starter motor will
continue to run, and it will disengage
automatically when the engine is run-
ning. If the engine fails to start, the
starter will disengage automatically in
10 seconds. If this occurs, turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK position,
wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the
“Normal Starting” procedure. IF ENGINE FAILS TO
START
WARNING!
 Never pour fuel or other flam-
mable liquids into the throttle
body air inlet opening in an at-
tempt to start the vehicle. This
could result in a flash fire causing
serious personal injury.
 Do not attempt to push or tow
your vehicle to get it started. Un-
burned fuel could enter the cata-
lytic converter and once the en-
gine has started, ignite and
damage the converter and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged
battery, booster cables may be
used to obtain a start from a
booster battery or the battery in
another vehicle. This type of start
can be dangerous if done improp-
erly. Refer to “Jump Starting” in
“What To Do In Emergencies” for
further information.

WARNING!(Continued)
 Unintended movement of a ve-
hicle could injure those in and
near the vehicle. As with all ve-
hicles, you should never exit a ve-
hicle while the engine is running.
Before exiting a vehicle, always
apply the parking brake, shift the
transmission into PARK, and re-
move the ignition key. Once the
key is removed, the shift lever is
locked in the PARK position, se-
curing the vehicle against un-
wanted movement. Furthermore,
you should never leave children
alone in a vehicle, or with access
to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended is dangerous for a number
of reasons. A child or others could
be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake
pedal or the shift lever.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave a
vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/
RUN mode. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION IGNITION
INTERLOCK SYSTEMS
These systems prevent the key fob
from being removed unless the shift
lever is in PARK. They also prevent
shifting out of PARK unless the igni-
tion switch is in the ON/RUN position
and the brake pedal is applied.
KEY IGNITION PARK
INTERLOCK
This vehicle is equipped with a Key
Ignition Park Interlock which re-
quires the shift lever to be placed in
PARK before the ignition switch can
be turned to the LOCK/OFF position.
The key fob can only be removed from
the ignition when the ignition is in the LOCK/OFF position and once re-
moved the shift lever is locked in
PARK.
NOTE:
If a malfunction occurs, the system
will trap the key in the ignition
cylinder to warn you that this
safety feature is inoperable. The
engine can be started and stopped,
but the key cannot be removed un-
til you obtain service.
BRAKE/TRANSMISSION
INTERLOCK SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake
Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI)
that holds the shift lever in the PARK
position unless the brakes are applied.
To move the shift lever out of the
PARK position, the ignition switch
must be turned to the ON/RUN or
START position (engine running or
not) and the brake pedal must be
pressed.
136

WARNING!
 Never use the PARK position as asubstitute for the parking brake.
Always apply the parking brake
fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
 Your vehicle could move and in-
jure you and others if it is not
completely in PARK. Check by
trying to move the shift lever rear-
ward (with the brake pedal re-
leased) after you have placed it in
PARK. Make sure the transmis-
sion is in PARK before leaving the
vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 It is dangerous to move the shift
lever out of PARK or NEUTRAL if
the engine speed is higher than
idle speed. If your foot is not
firmly pressing on the brake
pedal, the vehicle could accelerate
quickly forward or in reverse. You
could lose control of the vehicle
and hit someone or something.
Only shift into gear when the en-
gine is idling normally and your
foot is firmly pressing the brake
pedal.
 Unintended movement of a ve-
hicle could injure those in or near
the vehicle. As with all vehicles,
you should never exit a vehicle
while the engine is running. Be-
fore exiting a vehicle, always ap-
ply the parking brake, shift the
transmission into PARK, and re-
move the ignition key. Once the
key is removed, the shift lever is
locked in the PARK position, se-
curing the vehicle against un-
wanted movement.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle. Never leave children
alone in a vehicle, or with access
to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended is dangerous for a number
of reasons. A child or others could
be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake
pedal or the shift lever.
 Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave the
ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN
position. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.

PARKING BRAKE
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
that the parking brake is fully ap-
plied. Also, be certain to leave the
transmission in PARK.
The parking brake lever is located in
the center console. To apply the park-
ing brake, pull the lever up as firmly
as possible. To release the parking
brake, pull the lever up slightly, press
the center button, then lower the lever
completely.
When the parking brake is applied
with the ignition switch ON, the
“Brake Warning Light” in the instru-
ment cluster will illuminate.NOTE:
 When the parking brake is ap-
plied and the transmission is
placed in gear, the “Brake Warn-
ing Light” will flash. If vehicle
speed is detected, a chime will
sound to alert the driver. Fully
release the parking brake before
attempting to move the vehicle.
 This light only shows that the parking brake is applied. It does
not show the degree of brake ap-
plication.
When parking on a hill, it is important
to turn the front wheels toward the
curb on a downhill grade and away
from the curb on an uphill grade.
Apply the parking brake before plac-
ing the shift lever in PARK, otherwise
the load on the transmission locking
mechanism may make it difficult to
move the shift lever out of PARK. The
parking brake should always be ap-
plied whenever the driver is not in the
vehicle.
WARNING!
 Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake.
Always apply the parking brake
fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
 When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob from the igni-
tion and lock your vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle. Allowing children
to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Chil-
dren should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake
pedal or the shift lever.
 Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
 Be sure the parking brake is fully
disengaged before driving; failure
to do so can lead to brake failure
and a collision.
