CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down until
it is approximately 5 mm above the
fender. This should secure both hood
hinge reset mechanisms.WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning
Light in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood to
enhance pedestrian protection. If
the light does not come on as a bulb
check when the ignition is first
turned on, stays on after you start
the vehicle, or if it comes on as you
drive, see your authorized dealer.Modifications to any part of the
Active Hood system could cause it
to fail when you need it. Do not
modify the components or wiring.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add an
aftermarket front bumper or cover.

WARNING!(Continued)
 It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the Active Hood system
yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it
has an Active Hood system.
 Do not attempt to modify any part
of your Active Hood system. The
Active Hood may deploy acciden-
tally or may not function properly
if modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any hood service.
 Drivers must be aware of pedestri-
ans. Always be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other ve-
hicles, and obstructions. You are
responsible for safety and must
continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
ENHANCED SEAT BELT
USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)BeltAlert® is a feature intended to re-
mind the driver and front passenger
(for versions/markets, where provided
with front passenger BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat belts. The feature is
active whenever the ignition is on. If
the driver or front seat passenger is
unbelted, the Seat Belt Reminder Light
will turn on and remain on until both
front seat belts are fastened.
The BeltAlert® warning sequence be-
gins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat Belt
Reminder Light and sounding an in-
termittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat-
belts are fastened. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occu-
pants to fasten their seat belts. If a
front seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than
8 km/h, BeltAlert® will provide both
audio and visual notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is
not active when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may be
triggered when an animal or heavy
object is on the front passenger seat or
when the seat is folded flat (for

Driver Side Knee Air Bag gas is vented
through small vent holes in the side of
the air bag.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags (SAB) are designed to
activate only in certain side collisions.
The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on several factors, including the
severity and type of collision.
Based on several factors, including
the severity and type of collision, the
side air bag inflator on the crash side
of the vehicle may be triggered, re-
leasing a quantity of non-toxic gas.
The inflating SAB exits through the
seat seam into the space between the
occupant and the door. The SAB fully
inflate in about 10 milliseconds. The
side air bag moves at a very high
speed and with such a high force that
it could injure you if you are not
seated properly, or if items are posi-
tioned in the area where the side air
bag inflates. This especially applies to
children.Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
Inflator Units
During collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the
side of the vehicle, the ORC may de-
ploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision. In
these events, the ORC will deploy the
SABIC only on the impact side of the
vehicle.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is gener-
ated to inflate the side curtain air bag.
The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the outside edge of the head-
liner out of the way and covers the
window. The air bag inflates in about
30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of
the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure you
if you are not belted and seated prop-
erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the side curtain air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children. The side curtain air bag is
only about 9 cm thick when it is in-
flated.
Because air bag sensors estimate de-
celeration over time, vehicle speedand damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
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, until the ignition key is re-
moved or the ignition switch is
changed to OFF using the Keyless
Go Start/Stop button.
 Unlock the doors automatically.
39

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 maysometimes 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 normally heal quickly. How-
ever, if you haven't healed signifi- cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.
 As the air bags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product
of the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag infla-
tion. These airborne particles may
irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irri-
tation, rinse the area with cool wa-
ter. For nose or throat irritation,
move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these
particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are in-
volved in another collision, the air
bags will not be in place to protect
you.
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt pre-
tensioners cannot protect you in an-
other collision. Have the air bags,
seat belt pretensioners, and the front
seat belt retractor assemblies re-
placed by an authorized dealer im-
mediately. Also, have the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) system
serviced as well.
Maintaining Your Air Bag SystemWARNING!
 Modifications to any part of the air bag system could cause it to
fail when you need it. You could
be injured if the air bag system is
not there to protect you. Do not
modify the components or wiring,
including adding any kind of
badges or stickers to the steering
wheel hub trim cover or the upper
right side of the instrument panel.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add af-
termarket side steps or running
boards.

MIRRORS
AUTOMATIC DIMMING
MIRROR
This mirror automatically adjusts for
headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
NOTE:
This feature is disabled when the
vehicle is moving in reverse.CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror dur-
ing cleaning, never spray any clean-
ing solution directly onto the mirror.
Apply the solution onto a clean cloth
and wipe the mirror clean.OUTSIDE MIRRORS
To receive maximum benefit, adjust
the outside mirror(s) to center on the
adjacent lane of traffic and a slight
overlap of the view obtained from the
inside mirror.
NOTE:
The passenger side convex outside
mirror will give a much wider view
to the rear, and especially of the
lane next to your vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in
the passenger side convex mirror
will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too
much on your passenger side convex
mirror could cause you to collide
with another vehicle or other object.
Use your inside mirror when judging
the size or distance of a vehicle seen
in the passenger side convex mirror.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
FOLDING FEATURE
Vehicles are equipped with mirrors
that are hinged. The hinge allows the
mirror to pivot forward and rearward to resist damage. The hinge has three
detent positions: full forward, full
rearward and normal.
DRIVER'S AUTOMATIC
DIMMING MIRROR (for
versions/markets, where

WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. It
is intended to be used to help a
driver detect an oncoming vehicle in
a parking lot situation. Drivers must
be careful when backing up, even
when using RCP. Always check care-
fully behind your vehicle, look be-
hind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
MODES OF OPERATION
Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Uconnect Touch™
System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™
Settings” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion. Blind Spot Alert
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected ob-
ject. However, when the system is op-
erating in RCP, the system will re-
spond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is pres-
ent. Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested, the radio volume is reduced.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
Lights/Chime mode, the BSM system
will provide a visual alert in the ap-
propriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. If the turn signal is
then activated, and it corresponds to
an alert present on that side of the
vehicle, an audible chime will also be
sounded. Whenever a turn signal and
detected object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the
radio (if on) volume will be reduced.NOTE:
 Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested by the BSM system, the
radio volume is reduced.
 If the hazard flashers are on, the system will request the appro-
priate visual alert only.
When the system is in RCP, the
system shall respond with both vi-
sual and audible alerts when a de-
tected object is present. Whenever
an audible alert is requested, the
radio is also muted. Turn/hazard
signal status is ignored; the RCP
state always requests the audible
chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off,
there will be no visual or audible
alerts from either the BSM or RCP
systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the cur-
rent operating mode when the ve-
hicle is shut off. Each time the ve-
hicle is started, the previously
stored mode will be recalled and
used.

UCONNECT™ PHONE
FEATURES
Emergency Assistance
If you are in an emergency and the
mobile phone is reachable:
 Pick up the phone and manuallydial the emergency number for
your area.
If the phone is not reachable and the
Uconnect™ Phone is operational, you
may reach the emergency number as
follows:
 Press the
button to begin.
 After the “Listening” prompt and the following beep, say “Call Emer-
gency or Dial Emergency” and the
Uconnect™ Phone will instruct the
paired mobile phone to call the
emergency number. This feature is
supported in the U.S., Canada, and
Mexico.
NOTE:
 The Emergency call may also be initiated by using the touch-
screen.
 The emergency number dialed is based on the country where the vehicle is purchased. The num-
ber dialed may not be appli-
cable with the available mobile
service and area.
 The Uconnect™ Phone does slightly lower your chances of
successfully making a phone
call as to that for the mobile
phone directly.
WARNING!
Your phone must be turned on and
connected to the Uconnect™ Phone
to allow use of this vehicle feature in
emergency situations, when the mo-
bile phone has network coverage
and stays connected to the
Uconnect™ Phone.
Towing Assistance
If you need towing assistance:
 Press the
button to begin.
 After the “Listening” prompt and the following beep, say “Towing
Assistance”.
NOTE:
 The towing assistance call may also be initiated by touch.  The towing assistance number
dialed is based on the country
where the vehicle is purchased.
Please refer to the LANCIA 24-
Hour “Towing Assistance” cov-
erage details in the Warranty In-
formation Booklet and on the
24–Hour Towing Assistance
Card.
Voice Mail Calling
To learn how to access your voice
mail, refer to “Working with Auto-
mated Systems”.
Working With Automated Systems
This method is used in instances
where one generally has to press num-
bers on the mobile phone keypad
while navigating through an auto-
mated telephone system.
You can use your Uconnect™ Phone
to access a voice mail system or an
automated service, such as a paging
service or automated customer service
line. Some services require immediate
response selection. In some instances,
that may be too quick for use of the
Uconnect™ Phone.
80

When calling a number with your
Uconnect™ Phone that normally re-
quires you to enter in a touch-tone
sequence on your mobile phone key-
pad, you can utilize the touch-screen
or press the
button and say the
word “Send” then the sequence you
wish to enter. For example, if required
to enter your PIN followed with a
pound, (3 7 4 6 #), you can press the
button and say, “Send 3 7 4 6
#”. Saying “Send” followed by a
number, or sequence of numbers, is
also to be used for navigating through
an automated customer service center
menu structure, and to leave a num-
ber on a pager.
You can also send stored mobile
phonebook entries as tones for fast
and easy access to voice mail and
pager entries. For example, if you pre-
viously created a Phonebook entry
with First and/or Last Name as
“Voicemail Password”, then if you
press the
button and say “Send
Voicemail Password” the Uconnect™
Phone will then send the correspond- ing phone number associated with the
phonebook entry, as tones over the
phone.
NOTE:
 The first number encountered
for that contact will be sent. All
other numbers entered for that
contact will be ignored.
 You may not hear all of the tones due to mobile phone network
configurations. This is normal.
 Some paging and voice mail sys- tems have system time out set-
tings that are too short and may
not allow the use of this feature.
 Pauses, wait or other characters that are supported by some
phones are not supported over
Bluetooth®. These additional
symbols will be ignored in the
dialing a numbered sequence.
Barge In — Overriding Prompts
The
button can be used when
you wish to skip part of a prompt and
issue your voice command immedi-
ately. For example, if a prompt is ask-
ing “There are 2 numbers with the
name John. Say the full name” you could press the
button and say,
“John Smith” to select that option
without having to listen to the rest of
the voice prompt.
Voice Response Length
It is possible for you to choose be-
tween Brief and Detailed Voice Re-
sponse Length.
 Touch the “More” soft-key, then touch the “Settings” soft-key,
 Touch the “Display” soft-key, then scroll down to Voice Response
Length,
 Select either “Brief” or “Detailed” by touching the box next to the
selection. A check-mark will ap-
pear to show your selection.
Phone And Network Status
Indicators
Uconnect™ Phone will provide noti-
fication to inform you of your phone
and network status when you are at-
tempting to make a phone call using
Uconnect™ Phone. The status is
given for network signal strength and
phone battery strength.
