INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting your
new LANCIA vehicle. Be assured that
it represents precision workmanship,
distinctive styling, and high quality -
all essentials that are traditional to
our vehicles.
Before you start to drive this vehicle,
read this Owner's Manual and all the
supplements. Be sure you are familiar
with all vehicle controls, particularly
those used for braking, steering, and
transmission shifting. Learn how your
vehicle handles on different road sur-
faces. Your driving skills will improve
with experience, but as in driving any
vehicle, take it easy as you begin. Al-
ways observe local laws wherever you
drive.
NOTE: After reviewing the owner
information, it should be stored in
the vehicle for convenient refer-
encing and remain with the vehicle
when sold.
Failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly may result in loss of control or a
collision.Operating this vehicle at excessive
speeds or while intoxicated may result
in loss of control, collision with other
vehicles or objects, going off the road,
or overturning; any of which may lead
to serious injury or death. Also, failure
to use seat belts subjects the driver
and passengers to a greater risk of
injury or death.
To keep your vehicle running at its
best, have your vehicle serviced at
recommended intervals by an autho-
rized dealer who has the qualified per-
sonnel, special tools, and equipment
to perform all service.

cylinder with either side up.
Removing Key Fob From Ignition
Place the shift lever in PARK. Turn
the Key Fob to the OFF position and
then remove the Key Fob.
NOTE: Power window switches
will also remain active for up to 10
minutes after the ignition switch
has been turned to OFF, depending
upon the accessory delay setting.
Opening either front door will can-
cel this feature.
WARNING!
Never leave children alone in avehicle. Leaving unattended chil-
dren in a vehicle is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fa-
tally injured. Don't leave the keys
in the ignition. A child could op-
erate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the Key
Fob from the ignition and lock all
doors when leaving the vehicle un-
attended.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder
Opening the driver's door when the
Key Fob is in the ignition and the
ignition switch position is OFF or
ACC, a chime will sound to remind
you to remove the key. NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition re-
minder only sounds when the Key
Fob is placed in the OFF or ACC
ignition position.
If your vehicle is equipped with Key-
less Enter-N-Go, opening the driver’s
door when the vehicle’s ignition
switch is placed in ACC or ON/RUN
(engine stopped) will cause the re-
minder chime to sound. Refer to
“Starting Procedures” in “Starting
And Operating” for further informa-
tion.
STEERING WHEEL
LOCK
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
passive electronic steering wheel lock.
This lock prevents steering the vehicle
without the ignition key. The steering
wheel lock has six positions (one every
60 degrees). If the steering wheel is
moved to one of these six position with
the key in the off positions, the steer-
ing wheel will lock.
Emergency Key Removal

To Manually Lock The
Steering Wheel
With the engine running, rotate the
steering wheel one-half revolution to
3:00 or 9:00 position, turn off the
engine and remove the key. Turn the
steering wheel slightly in either direc-
tion until the lock engages.
To Release The Steering
Wheel Lock
Cycle the ignition and start the en-
gine.
NOTE: If you turned the wheel to
the right to engage the lock, you
must turn the wheel slightly to the
right to disengage it. If you turned
the wheel to the left to engage the
lock, turn the wheel slightly to the
left to disengage it.SENTRY KEY® (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer system
prevents unauthorized vehicle opera-
tion by disabling the engine. The sys-
tem does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic, re-
gardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) and
a RF receiver to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only
Key Fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle can be used to start and oper-
ate the vehicle.
After cycling the ignition to the ON/
RUN position, the Vehicle Security
Light will turn on for three seconds
for a bulb check. If the light remains
on after the bulb check, it indicates
that there is a problem with the elec-
tronics. In addition, if the light begins
to flash after the bulb check, it indi-
cates that someone used an invalidKey Fob to start the engine. Either of
these conditions will result in the en-
gine being shut off after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on
during normal vehicle operation (ve-
hicle running for longer than 10 sec-
onds), it indicates that there is a fault
in the electronics. Should this occur,
have the vehicle serviced as soon as
possible by an authorized dealer.
All of the Key Fobs provided with
your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle electronics.
REPLACEMENT KEYS
NOTE: Only Key Fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle elec-
tronics can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. Once a Key
Fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be programmed to any
other vehicle.
CAUTION!
Always remove the keys from the
vehicle and lock all doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended.

seats, press the power sliding door
master lock button, located in the
overhead console, to disable the
switches and handles for the rear seat
passengers.
NOTE:
The power sliding side doorswitches will not open the power
sliding door if the shift lever is in
gear or the vehicle speed is
above 0 km/h. To close the
power sliding door with the shift
lever in gear and vehicle speed
at 0 km/h, the brake must be
pressed.
If anything obstructs the power sliding side door while it is clos-
ing or opening, the door will au-
tomatically reverse to the closed
or open position, provided it
meets sufficient resistance.
If the power sliding side door is not in the full open or close po-
sition, it will fully open when a
power sliding door switch is pressed. To close the door, wait
until it is fully open and then
press the switch again.
If the power sliding door en- counters multiple obstructions
within the same cycle, the sys-
tem will automatically stop, the
power sliding door motor will
make a clicking sound until the
door has no further movement.
This clicking sound can be
stopped by pulling the inside or
outside handle. If this condition
occurs, no damage is done to the
power sliding door motor. The
power sliding door must be
opened or closed manually.
WARNING!
You, or others, could be injured if
caught in the path of the sliding
door. Make sure the door path is
clear before closing the door.
Power Sliding Side Door Open
Flash
The left and right exterior hazard
lights will flash for 12 seconds when
either sliding door is opened. This will alert other drivers in the area that
passenger(s) could be entering or ex-
iting the vehicle.
The Sliding Side Door Open Flash can
be enabled or disabled by performing
the following procedure:
1. Place the Key Fob in the ignition
switch.
2. Cycle the ignition switch from ON/
RUN to OFF five times ending in the
ON/RUN position
(do not start the
engine).
3. Within 10 seconds of the final
cycle, press the HAZARD switch ON.
4. A single chime will sound to sig-
nify that you have successfully com-
pleted the programming.
You can turn the feature back on by
repeating the previous procedure.

The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on the severity and type of col-
lision.
Based on the severity and type of col-
lision, the side air bag inflator on the
crash side of the vehicle may be trig-
gered, releasing 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 mil-
liseconds. 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
positioned in the area where the side
air bag inflates. This especially ap-
plies 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. Inthese 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 3-1/2 in (9 cm) thick when
it is inflated.
Because air bag sensors estimate de-
celeration over time, vehicle speed
and damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
NOTE: In a rollover the preten-
sioners and/or SAB and SABIC air
bags may deploy on both sides of
the vehicle.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 is cycled off.
Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.
Unlock the doors automatically.

dent Response System functions after

Maintaining Your Air Bag SystemWARNING!
Modifications to any part of theair 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.
It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the air bag system your-
self. Be sure to tell anyone who
works on your vehicle that it has
an air bag system.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Do not attempt to modify any part of your air bag system. The
air bag may inflate accidentally
or may not function properly if
modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any air bag system ser-
vice. If your seat, including your
trim cover and cushion, needs to
be serviced in any way (including
removal or loosening/tightening
of seat attachment bolts), take
the vehicle to your authorized
dealer. Only manufacturer ap-
proved seat accessories may be
used. If it is necessary to modify
the air bag system for persons
with disabilities, contact your au-
thorized dealer.
