NOTE: If the speedometer, ta-
chometer, or any engine related
gauges are not working, the Occu-
pant Restraint Controller (ORC)
may also be disabled. The air bags
may not be ready to inflate for your
protection. Promptly check the
fuse block for blown fuses. Refer to
the label located on the inside of
the fuse block cover for the proper
air bag fuses. See your authorized
dealer if the fuse is good.
Event Data Recorder (EDR)This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a vehicle’ssystems performed. The EDR is de-
signed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30 sec-
onds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
 How various systems in your ve-
hicle were operating;
 Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded. How-
ever, other parties, such as law en-
forcement, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and ac-
cess to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the spe-
cial equipment, can read the informa-
tion if they have access to the vehicle
or the EDR.

CHILD RESTRAINTS
Everyone in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up all the time, including
babies and children.
Children 12 years or younger should
ride properly buckled up in a rear
seat, if available. According to crashstatistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats,
rather than in the front.
WARNING!
 In a collision, an unrestrained
child, even a tiny baby, can be-
come a projectile inside the ve-
hicle. The force required to hold
even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could
not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and oth-
ers could be badly injured. Any
child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for
the child's size.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Occupants, especially children, should not lean on or sleep
against the door, side windows, or
area where the SAB air bags in-
flate, even if they are in an infant
or child restraint.
There are different sizes and types of
restraints for children from newborn
size to the child almost large enough
for an adult safety belt. Always check
the child seat owner's manual to en-
sure you have the correct seat for your
child. Use the restraint that is correct
for your child.

Infants And Child RestraintsSafety experts recommend that children
ride rearward-facing in the vehicle until
they are two years old or until they
reach either the height or weight limit of
their rear facing child safety seat. Two
types of child restraints can be used
rearward-facing: infant carriers and
convertible child seats.
The infant carrier is only used
rearward-facing in the vehicle. It is rec-
ommended for children from birth until
they reach the weight or height limit of
the infant carrier. Convertible child
seats can be used either rearward-facing
or forward-facing in the vehicle. Con-
vertible child seats often have a higher
weight limit in the rearward-facing di-
rection than infant carriers do, so they
can be used rearward-facing by chil-
dren who have outgrown their infant
carrier but are still less than at least two
years old. Children should remain
rearward-facing until they reach the
highest weight or height allowed bytheir convertible child seat. Both types
of child restraints are held in the vehicle
by the lap/shoulder belt or the ISOFIX
child restraint anchor system. Refer to
“ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage Sys-
tem”.
WARNING!
Rearward-facing child seats must
never be used in the front seat of a
vehicle with the front passenger air
bag. An air bag deployment could
cause severe injury or death to in-
fants in this position.
Older Children And Child
Restraints
Children who are two years old or who
have outgrown their rear-facing con-
vertible child seat can ride forward-
facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing
child seats and convertible child seats
used in the forward-facing direction
are for children who are over two
years old or who have outgrown the
rear-facing weight or height limit of their rear-facing convertible child
seat. Children should remain in a
forward-facing child seat with a har-
ness for as long as possible, up to the
highest weight or height allowed by
the child seat. These child seats are
also held in the vehicle by the lap/
shoulder belt or the ISOFIX child re-
straint anchorage system. Refer to
“ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage
System”.
All children whose weight or height is
above the forward-facing limit for the
child seat should use a belt-
positioning booster seat until the ve-
hicle’s seat belts fit properly. If the
child cannot sit with knees bent over
the vehicle's seat cushion while the
child's back is against the seatback,
they should use a belt-positioning
booster seat. The child and belt-
positioning booster seat are held in
the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt.
41

Children Too Large For Booster
Seats
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.
 Make sure that the child is uprightin the seat.
 The lap portion should be low on the 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 ex-
actly 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
necessary.
 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 colli-
sion, it could strike the occupants
or seatbacks and cause serious per-
sonal injury.
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-
ments. Regardless of the specific type
of lower attachment, never install ISOFIX-compatible child seats such
that two seats share a common lower
anchorage. If you are installing
ISOFIX-compatible child restraints in
adjacent rear seating positions, you
can use the ISOFIX anchors or the
vehicle's seat belts. If your child re-
straints are not ISOFIX-compatible,
you can only install the child re-
straints using the vehicle's seat belts.
For typical installation instructions,
refer to “Installing The ISOFIX-
Compatible Child Restraint System”.
Rear Seat ISOFIX Anchors
Child restraints systems having at-
tachments designed to connect to the
lower anchorages are now available.
Child restraints having tether straps
and hooks for connection to the top
tether anchorage, have been available
for some time. In fact, many child
restraint manufacturers will provide
add-on tether strap kits for some of
their older products.
Because the lower anchorages are to
be introduced to passenger carrying
vehicles over a period of years, child
restraint systems having attachments
for those anchorages will continue to
have features for installation in ve-
hicles using the lap or lap/shoulder
belt. They will also have tether straps,
and you are urged to take advantage
of all of the available attachments
provided with your child restraint in
any vehicle.

NOTE: When using the ISOFIX
attaching system to install a child
restraint, please ensure that all
seat belts not being used for occu-
pant restraints are stowed and out
of reach of children. It is recom-
mended that before installing the
child restraint, buckle the seat belt
so the seat belt is tucked behind
the child restraint and out of
reach. If the buckled seat belt in-
terferes with the child restraint in-
stallation, instead of tucking the
seat belt behind the child re-
straint, route the seat belt through
the child restraint belt path and
then buckle it. This should stow
the seat belt out of the reach of an
inquisitive child. Remind all chil-
dren in the vehicle that the seat
belts are not toys and should not be
played with, and never leave your
child unattended in the vehicle.Installing The ISOFIX-
Compatible Child Restraint
System
We urge you to carefully follow the
directions of the manufacturer when
installing your child restraint. Not all
child restraint systems will be in-
stalled as described here. Again, care-
fully follow the installation instruc-
tions that were provided with the
child restraint system.
The rear seat lower anchor-
ages are round bars, located
at the rear of the seat cush-
ion where it meets the seat-
back, and are just visible when you
lean into the rear seat to install the
child restraint. You will easily feel
them if you run your finger along the
intersection of the seatback and seat
cushion surfaces.
In addition, there are tether
strap anchorages behind
each rear seating position.
Access ports to the tether an-
chors are located in the panel between
the rear seat and the rear window. The
tether anchors are underneath access covers in the carpet covering the back of
the seat where you see this symbol.
Many, but not all, restraint systems
will be equipped with separate straps
on each side, with each having a hook
or connector for attachment to the
lower anchorage and a means of ad-
justing the tension in the strap.
Forward-facing toddler restraints and
some rear-facing infant restraints will
also be equipped with a tether strap, a
hook for attachment to the tether
strap anchorage and a means of ad-
justing the tension of the strap.
You will first loosen the child seat
adjusters on the lower straps and on
the tether strap so that you can more
easily attach the hooks or connectors
to the vehicle anchorages. Next, at-
tach the lower hooks or connectors
over the top of the seat cover material.
Then, rotate the tether anchorage
cover directly behind the seat where
you are placing the child restraint,
push the tether strap and hook
through the access port and down into
the trunk. Open the access cover on
the carpet covering the back of the
seat and attach the tether strap hook
44

to the anchor. Be careful to route the
tether strap to provide the most direct
path between the anchor and the child
restraint. Finally, tighten all three
straps as you push the child restraint
rearward and downward into the seat,
removing slack in the straps accord-
ing to the child restraint manufactur-
er's instructions.
NOTE: When using the ISOFIX
attaching system to install a child
restraint, please ensure that all
seat belts not being used for occu-
pant restraints are stowed and out
of reach of children. It is recom-
mended that before installing the
child restraint, buckle the seat belt
so the seat belt is tucked behind
the child restraint and out of
reach. If the buckled seat belt in-
terferes with the child restraint in-
stallation, instead of tucking the
seat belt behind the child re-
straint, route the seat belt throughthe child restraint belt path and
then buckle it. This should stow
the seat belt out of the reach of an
inquisitive child. Remind all chil-
dren in the vehicle that the seat
belts are not toys and should not be
played with, and never leave your
child unattended in the vehicle.
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
manufacturer's directions exactly
when installing 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.

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.
