2013 Lancia Flavia trunk

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 web-
bing to tighten the lap portion around
the child restraint. Any seat belt sys-
tem will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
 In the rear seat, you may havetrouble 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.
2. Open the access port cover (A) be-
hind the seat where you are placing
the child restraint. 3. Push the tether strap and hook (B)
through the access port and down into
the trunk.
NOTE: Route the tether strap to
provide the most direct path from
the child seat to the anchor.
4. Open the access cover (C) on the
carpet covering the back of the seat
and attach the tether strap hook (D)
to the anchor.

Exhaust GasWARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless and odor-
less. Breathing it can make you un-
conscious and can eventually poi-
son you. To avoid breathing (CO),
follow these safety tips:
 Do not run the engine in a closedgarage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
 If you are required to drive with
the trunk/liftgate open, make
sure that all windows are closed
and the climate control BLOWER
switch is set at high speed. DO
NOT use the recirculation mode.
 If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed. The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, de-
teriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system
each time the vehicle is raised for lu-
brication or oil change. Replace as
required.
Safety Checks You Should
Make Inside The Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be re-
placed immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard-
ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.

CONVERTIBLE TOP
OPERATIONCAUTION!Failure to follow these cautions may
cause interior water damage, stains
or mildew on the top material: Avoid high-pressure car washes,as they can damage the top mate-
rial. Also, increased water pres-
sure may force water past the
weather strips.
 Remove any standing water from the top and dry the surface before
opening it. Operating the top,
opening a door or lowering a win-
dow while the top is wet may al-
low water to drip into the vehicles
interior.
Use care when washing the vehicle,
water pressure directed at the
weather strip seals may cause water
to leak into the vehicles interior.
WARNING!
The convertible top does not pro-
vide the structural protection that a
reinforced metal roof does and the
fabric top cannot be expected to
prevent the ejection of the occu-
pants in a collision. Therefore, it is
important that all occupants wear
their seat belts at all times. Death or
serious injuries could occur if you
are ejected from the vehicle during
a collision.You can lower or raise the power con-
vertible top from inside the vehicle or
lower the top remotely using the Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter. Either operation takes approxi-
mately 30 seconds. The entire process,
including unlatching or latching the
top at the windshield header is auto-
matic.The top does take up some space in
the trunk when retracted. However,
the trunk will still hold a significant
amount of cargo. When operating the power convert-
ible top, the trunk lid will pivot at the
rear of the vehicle, swing open by the
rear window, and then pivot back-
ward. This allows room for the top to
retract into or unfold from its stowage
area in the trunk.
When lowering the top, the system
extends the hard tonneau cover,
which stows conveniently underneath
the trunk lid. The tonneau cover
closes the area between the rear seats
and the trunk lid to conceal the top
when stowed.
When raising the top, the system re-
tracts the hard tonneau cover back
into its stowage area underneath the
trunk lid.
To complete either operation, the
trunk lid returns to its normal posi-
tion and then latches.
Spring-loaded flipper doors, which
provide clearance for the linkage,
close off notches in the quarter trim
panels when the top is down.

POWER CONVERTIBLE
TOP USAGE PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
 The convertible top will not op-erate unless the vehicle is sta-
tionary, the cargo shield is posi-
tioned correctly, and the trunk
lid is closed and latched. In ad-
dition, the system is prohibited
from opening when the ambient
temperature is below ­18°C.
 The top system is prohibited from closing when the ambient
temperature is below ­40°C.
 Do not attempt to lower the top when frost, ice, or snow may be
present, this could cause dam-
age or prevent the top from stow-
ing completely.
 The Power Top Control Module (PTCM) monitors and controls
lowering and raising of the top.
A series of micro-switches verify
that operations are complete be-
fore allowing the next stage of
lowering or raising operation.  Opening and closing the top
consecutively without the engine
running may run the battery
down.
 If a fluttering noise is heard from the rear seat belts while driving
with the top down, safely bring
the vehicle to a stop and buckle
the rear seat belts over the empty
seats. This will keep tension on
the seat belts and remove the
fluttering condition.
CAUTION!
 Correctly position the cargoshield in the trunk before stowing
the top. Doing so closes a switch
that allows top operation (stow-
ing) to proceed. If the switch is
not closed, a warning message
displays in the instrument cluster
to notify the driver.
 Always place items carefully into the trunk.
 Do not push items too far into the trunk, particularly when the top
is retracted into its stowage area
in the trunk.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
 Do not use the area on top of the tonneau cover for storage.
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the convertible top
components, trunk contents, cargo
shield, and the vehicle interior.CAUTION!
Before operating the power top:
 Always check on top of the ton- neau cover area to be sure that it
is clear of debris or other items.
 Make sure the ambient tempera- ture is above ­18°C.
 Never attempt to lower a frozen convertible top. Wait until the top
is thawed before lowering it into
the stowage compartment. Low-
ering a cloth top at temperatures
below 0°C should be avoided.
Make sure the convertible top is dry
before lowering it into the stowage
compartment. Lowering the top
when damp, wet, or dirty can cause
stains, mildew, and damage to the
inside of your vehicle.
(Continued)
56

CAUTION!(Continued)
 Make sure there is sufficient clearance of at least 2.2 m for the
top to move up.
 To prevent striking a low ceiling or automatic door opener with
the top, it is strongly recom-
mended that you do not operate
the power top inside a garage or
parking structure.
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the convertible top
components, trunk contents, and
the vehicle interior.CAUTION!
 Do not operate the power top with the hydraulic pump valve open.
 Do not allow the top to remain in
the suspended position. After ap-
proximately 10 minutes in the
suspended position, the hydraulic
pressure will release, which will
allow the top and the trunk lid to
lower. Pressing the power top
switch will cancel this operation.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
 Always use a normal ice scraper to remove snow or ice from the
rear window. Use of a sharp ob-
ject or other tools could scratch
the panels (hard top) or tear the
fabric (soft top) when removing
snow or ice.
 Always close the top when leaving your vehicle so as not to leave the
interior exposed to potentially
damaging outdoor conditions.
 Do not leave the top lowered for
several weeks at a time. Close it
occasionally to prevent discolor-
ation in the folds of the fabric and
to allow the creases to smooth
out. This is especially important
if the top was stowed when not
completely dry.
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the convertible top
components, trunk contents, and
the vehicle interior.
WARNING!
Failure to follow these warnings
can result in injuries that are seri-
ous or fatal to you, your passengers,
and others around you:
 Before operating the power top, make sure that no moving parts
of the convertible top can injure a
person or animal.
 Never place any extremities (hands, feet, etc.) near the con-
vertible top components, the up-
per windshield area, the shelf
area behind the rear seats, or the
convertible top stowage area
while raising or lowering the con-
vertible top.
 When using the power top button
on RKE transmitter, if potential
danger exists while lowering the
top, release the button immedi-
ately to interrupt the operation.
 When using the power top switch on the instrument panel, if poten-
tial danger exists while lowering
the top, release the switch imme-
diately to interrupt the operation.
(Continued)
57

WARNING!(Continued)
 When using the power top switch on the instrument panel, if poten-
tial danger exists while raising the
top, release the switch immedi-
ately to interrupt the operation.
 Only drive the vehicle with the convertible top completely closed
and latched or fully lowered into
its stowage compartment.
 Do not operate the power top when the vehicle is in motion.
CARGO SHIELD
The cargo shield is located in the
trunk. Before lowering the convertible
top, you must unfold the cargo shield
and seat the tabs at each end of the
cargo shield in the V slots in the trunk
liner. Doing so closes a switch that
allows top operation. If the switch is
not closed, a warning message dis-
plays in the instrument cluster to no-
tify the driver. Positioning The Cargo Shield For
Top Operation
Pull the cargo shield toward you to
begin unfolding the panels. Grasp the
handle in the center of the outermost
(top) panel and raise the cargo shield.
Then, align and seat the tabs at each
end of the cargo shield in the V slots in
the trunk liner as shown in the illus-
tration.
CAUTION!
Do not place items on top of the
cargo shield. Items placed on cargo
protector will interfere with the top
during operation and cause exces-
sive damage to the top and cargo
shield.
Positioning The Cargo Shield For
Cargo Storage
To maximize the storage space in the
trunk, the cargo shield can be stowed
in the forward portion of the trunk.
To stow the cargo shield, grasp the
handle of the upright panel of the
cargo shield, lifting the pins out of the
V slots in the trunk trim. Continue
folding the upright panel forward
onto the horizontal panel, then grasp
both panels and lift them to the for-
ward, upright position in the trunk.
NOTE: The convertible top will
NOT operate with the cargo shield
in the stowed position.

Press and hold the switch in
the Top Up position, “CON-
VERTIBLE TOP IN OP-
ERATION” message is dis-
played in the EVIC at this time. Keep
holding the switch until the operation
of raising the top and latching it is
complete, which is indicated by the
system also raising the windows and
displaying “CONVERTIBLE TOP
COMPLETE” message in the EVIC.
Using The Remote Keyless Entry
Transmitter
You cannot use the power top button
on the RKE transmitter to raise the
power convertible top. You must use
the power top switch inside the ve-
hicle to perform this operation.
Manually Raising
Raising the power convertible top
manually should only be performed by
an authorized dealer. In the event that
you experience a malfunction when
operating the power convertible top:1.
Read all of the Notes, Cautions, and
Warning found under “Power Convert-
ible Top Usage Precautions” to verify
all operating conditions are met.
2.
Check for Operation and Warning
Messages as described under “Power
Convertible Top Operation and Warn-
ing Messages.” If applicable, perform
the related action to correct the condi-
tion present.
3. If Steps 1 and 2 do not resolve the
problem, refer to “Emergency Bypass
Mode”.
WIND STOP
The Wind Stop installs in the backseat
area of the vehicle. The Wind Stop
will not interfere with power top op-
eration. Therefore, it can remain in-
stalled when the top is up. However,
when not in use, the Wind Stop folds
to allow for convenient storage under-
neath the cargo shield in the trunk.
NOTE: It is recommended that
you lower the convertible top be-
fore installing or removing the
Wind Stop. Installing The Wind Stop
1. Remove the Wind Stop from the
trunk.
2. Unfold the Wind Stop framework.
3. Lay the small frame (1) flat on top
of the large frame (2) and snap the
two frames together by engaging the
frame lock (3).
NOTE: The frames must lie flat
on each other in order to snap
them together.
