SAFETY
GROUP 3 For children between 22 kg and 36 kg, there are dedicated
restraint systems that allow the seat belt to be worn cor-
rectly.
Figure 9 shows correct child seat positioning on the rear
seat. Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts
like adults.
The diagram is indicative and for fitting
purposes only. Refer to the instructions
which must be supplied with the child re-
straint system.

Fit the child restraint system when the car
is stationary. The child restraint system is
correctly fixed to the brackets when you hear
the click. Follow the instructions for assembly, dis-
assembly and positioning that the manufacturer
must supply with the child restraint system.
INSTALLING A UNIVERSAL ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Due to its different anchoring system, the child restraint
system must be anchored to the dedicated lower metal
rings A - fig. 11, set between rear seat backrest and rear
cushion. After removing the parcel shelf, secure the upperbelt (provided with the child restraint system) to the spe-
cific ring (after having opened the covering zip B - fig. 11)
located in the rear seat backrest.
Remember that when using a Universal Isofix child re-
straint system, you can use all type-approved systems with
the marking ECE R44 (R44/03 or superior) “Universal
Isofix”.
The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child restraint system and
the spec
ial “G 0/1” system are available from Lineacces-
sori Lancia.
For any further details on installation/use, refer to the
instruction manual for the child restraint system.

SAFETY
Main instructions for carrying children safely:
❍Install the child restraint systems on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position in the event of
an accident.
❍Keep children in rear facing restraint systems for as
long as possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.
❍Should a rear facing child restraint system be installed
on the rear seats, it is advisable to position it as far for-
ward as the position of the front seat allows.
❍If the front passenger’s airbag is deactivated always
check that the dedicated warning light is permanent-
ly switched on on the instrument panel to make sure
that it has actually been deactivated.
❍Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child
restraint system itself. Keep the instructions in the car
along with the other documents and this handbook.
Do not use second-hand child restraint systems with-
out instructions.❍Only one child is to be strapped to each retaining sys-
tem; never use it to transport two children at once.
❍Always check that the seat belts do not interfere with
the child’s throat.
❍Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
❍While travelling, do not let the ch
ild sit incorrectly or
unfasten the belts.
❍Never allow a child to put the belt’s diagonal section
under an arm or behind their back.
❍Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-
one can restrain a child in the event of an accident.
❍In the event of an accident, replace the child restraint
system with a new one.
Fit the child restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be included.

FRONT AIRBAGSThe car is provided with front airbags for the driver and
the passenger, driver’s knee bag (for versions/markets
where provided) and front side bags (side bags - window
bags).
The front airbags (driver, passenger driver’s knee bag)
protect the occupants of the front seats in the event of
moderate to serious front impacts by positioning the bag
between the occupant and the steering wheel or the dash-
board.
Therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system mal-
function.
An electronic control unit will make the bag inflate in the
event of a frontal impact.
The bag will
inflate instantaneously placing itself between
the front occupants body and the structures which could
cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
The front airbags (driver, passenger, driver knee bag) do
not replace but rather complement the seat belts, which
you are always advised to wear, as specified by law in Eu-
rope and most non-European countries.
In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a seat belt
could move forward and come into contact with a bag
which is still in the opening phase. The protection offered
by the bag is reduced in such a case.The front airbags may not be activated in the following sit-
uations:
❍front collisions agai
nst highly deformable objects not
affecting the front surface of the car (e.g. bumper col-
lision against guard rail, etc.);
❍car wedging under other vehicles or protective barri-
ers (e.g. trucks or guard rails).
Failure to activate in the conditions described above is due
to the fact that they may not provide any additional pro-
tection compared with seat belts, so their activation would
be inappropriate. In these cases, non-deployment of the
airbag does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.
Do not apply stickers or other objects on the
steering wheel, on the dashboard in the pas-
senger side airbag area, on the side uphol-
stery on the roof and on the seats. Never put ob-
jects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger side of
the dashboard since they could interfere with cor-
rect inflation of the passenger airbag and also cause
serious injury to the passengers.

SAFETY
The front airbags (driver, passenger, driver’s knee bags)
are designed and calibrated to protect front seat passen-
gers wearing seat belts.
Their volume at the moment of maximum inflation fills
most of the space between the steering wheel and the dri-
ver, between the lower post guard and the knees on pas-
senger side and between the dashboard and the passen-
ger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor front
collisions (for which the restraining action of the seat belts
is sufficient). Safety belts must always be worn. In the
event of frontal impact they guarantee correct positioning
of the passenger. FRONT AIRBAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 12
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained
in a
special recess in the centre of the steering wheel.

With ignition key inserted, at MAR, even if
the engine is off, the airbags can activate al-
so with the car stopped, if it is hit by anoth-
er vehicle. Therefore, even if the car is stationary,
when an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install rear facing child restraint systems on the
front passenger seat. Deployment of the airbag fol-
lowing an impact could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger
airbag when a rear facing child restraint system
is installed on the front passenger seat. The front
passenger seat must also be positioned back as far
as possible in order to avoid the child restraint sys-
tem from coming into contact with the dashboard.
Immediately reactivate the passenger airbag as soon
as the child restraint system has been removed. Al-
so remember that, if the key is turned to STOP, none
of the safety devices (airbags or pretensioners) will
be deployed in the event of collision. Non-deploy-
ment in such cases does not indicate a system mal-
function.
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
“warning light turns on and blinks for a few
seconds to remind you that the passenger
airbag will activate in the event of a collision. Then
it should turn off.Do not wash the seats with water or pres-
surised steam (by hand or at automatic car
seat washing stations).The front airbags deploy in the event of more
severe collisions than those required for de-
ploying the pretensioners. For impacts in the
range between the two activation thresholds, pre-
tensioner activation alone is normal.Do not hook rigid objects to clothes hangers
and support handles.The airbag does not replace seat belts; it in-
creases their effectiveness. Furthermore, since
front airbags are not deployed in low speed
collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts or roll-
overs, the passengers are only protected by the seat
belts which must be fastened at all times.
