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.

Due to its different anchoring system,
an Isofix child restraint must be an-
chored to the proper lower metal rings
A-fig. 15, between rear seat back and
cushion. The upper belt (provided
with the child restrain) must be then
secured to ring D-fig. 16set in the
boot at child’s seat level.
fig. 15L0C0140m
It is possible to have a mixed assem-
bly of the traditional child seats and
the Universal Isofix ones.
Remember that in case of Universal
Isofix child restrain systems, you can
only use all those seats approved with
the marking ECE R44/03 “Universal
Isofix”.
The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child
seat and the special “G 0/1” seat are
available from Lineaccessori Lancia.
For any further details on installa-
tion/use, refer to the instruction man-
ual for the child seat.
fig. 16L0C0143m
Fit the child seat when the
car is stationary. The
child seat is correctly anchored to
the brackets when you hear the
click. Follow the instructions for
assembly, disassembly and posi-
tioning that the manufacturer mu
st supply with the child seat.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is provided with front airbags
for the driver and passenger and win-
dow bags (head protection system). It
may be provided with optional front
side bags.
The front driver / passenger air bags
have been designed to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of head-on
crashes of medium-high severity, by
placing the cushion between the oc-
cupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect
car’s occupants in front 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 will make
the bag inflate in the event of a frontal
crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously
placing itself between the front occu-
pant’s body and the structures which
could cause injury. It will deflate im-
mediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags are
not a replacement of but complemen-
tary to the belts, which you are rec-
ommended to always wear, as speci-
fied 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 con into contact with the
bag before it has fully opened. The
protection offered by the cushion is
reduced in such a case.
Front air bag may not be activated in
the following situations:
❒in collisions against highly de-
formable objects not affecting the
car front surface (e.g. bumper col-
lision against guard rail, etc.);
❒jamming of the car underneath
other vehicles or protective barri-
ers (e.g. underneath a truck or a
guard rail); in this case, the bags
would offer no additional protec-
tion with respect to the seat belt
and their deployment is unneces-
sary. No deployment in such cases
is consequently not the sign of a
fault.
The front airbags (driver and passen-
ger) are designed and calibrated to
protect front seat occupants who are
wearing seat belts. The volume of
front air bags at max. inflation fills
most of the space between the steer-
ing wheel and the driver and between
the dashboard and the passenger.FRONT AIR BAG ON DRIVER’S
SIDE, fig. 17
It consists of an instant-inflating cush-
ion contained in a special recess in the
centre of the steering wheel.

FRONT AIR BAG ON
PASSENGER’S SIDE fig. 18
It consists of an instant-inflating cush-
ion contained into a special recess A
in the dashboard, this cushion has a
volume bigger than that of the driver.
The airbags are not deployed in the
event of collisions of low severity (for
which the withholding action of the
seat belts is sufficient). For this rea-
son, the seat belt must be worn at all
times. During side collisions the seat
belts hold passengers in the correct
position and prevent ejection from the
vehicle during very violent collisions.
Do not apply stickers or
other objects on the steer-
ing wheel in zone A-fig. 18, pas-
senger side airbag cover or side
upholstery on roof. Do not place
objects on the passenger side dash-
board because these could interfere
with the correct opening of the
airbag (e.g. mobile phones) and
cause severe injury to occupants.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER: Do
not arrange child seats
facing backwards if the passenger’s
front airbag is on. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could
cause fatal injuries to the baby.
WARNING
If the car is provided with
a front passenger airbag,
deactivate the airbag
when arranging a child
restraint seat on the front
seat. Move the passenger’s
seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the cradle
and the dashboard. Although this
is not mandatory by law, the
airbag should be immediately re-
activated when children are no
longer carried to ensure better pro-
tection to adults.

It is formed by two “curtain” window
bags are located behind the side roof
upholstery and are covered by special
trimming. They were designed to pro-
tect the head of front and rear pas-
sengers in case of side collisions,
