All restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child seat which must never be
removed. When over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and have to wear the
standard seat belts. Lineaccessori Lancia includes
child seats for each weight group. These devices
are recommended having been specifically
designed for Lancia cars.
WARNING
Do not arrange cradle child seats
facing backwards if the front air bag
on the passenger's side is enabled.
Deployment of the air bag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby
regardless of the severity of the collision. It
is advisable to always carry children in a
child seat on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Should it be absolutely necessary to
carry a child on the front seat in a
backwards-facing craddle seat, the
passenger's front and side air bags must be
deactivated through the Setup menu.
Deactivation should be verified by checking
the warning light on the instrument panel.
The passenger seat must also be positioned
back as far as possible in order to avoid
the child seat from coming into contact with
the dashboard.
