If you have difficulties or prob-
lems resetting the Active Head
Restraints, see an authorized
dealer. For safety reasons, have the Ac-
tive Head Restraints checked by
a qualified specialist at an au-
thorized dealer.
ACTIVE HOOD SYSTEM
The Active Hood system is intended to
enhance pedestrian protection by el-
evating the vehicle’s hood upon an
impact with a pedestrian or other ob-
ject. The system is automatically acti-
vated when the vehicle is moving
within a specified vehicle speed range.
In order to detect a range of pedestri-
ans, other objects that are impacted
may result in an Active Hood deploy-
ment.
Deployment Sensors And Controls
The Electronic Pedestrian Protection
Module (EPPM) determines if deploy-
ment of the actuators in a frontal im-
pact is required. Based on the impact
sensors signals, the EPPM determines
when to deploy the actuators. The
impact sensors are located within the
front bumper area.
The EPPM monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the Active Hood

system whenever the ignition switch is
in the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the LOCK position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the Active Hood system is not on and
the Active Hood will not deploy.
The EPPM contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the
actuators even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
Service Active Hood System
If the EPPM has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC), for
versions/markets, where provided. A
single chime will sound if the Air Bag
Warning Light comes on again after
initial startup. It also includes diag-
nostics that will illuminate the Air Bag
Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the Active
Hood system. The diagnostics also re-
cord the nature of the malfunction. Ifthe Air Bag Warning Light is illumi-
nated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.
In the event of an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the vehicle should be serviced
by an authorized dealer. The hood
hinges must be serviced and the ac-
tuator assemblies replaced to restore
system functionality.
Following an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the hood position can be tem-
porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator is
relieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for-
ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.
The front bumper assembly may af-
fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com-
ponents should be inspected for dam-
age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.
NOTE: After any Active Hood de-
ployment, the vehicle should be
taken to an authorized dealer im-
mediately.

CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down
until an audible and tactile detent is
detected (approximately 5 mm
above the fender). This should se-
cure both hood hinge reset mecha-
nisms.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag WarningLight in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood
to enhance pedestrian protection.
If the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
dealer.

WARNING!(Continued)
Modifications to any part of theActive Hood system could cause it
to fail when you need it. Do not
modify the components or wiring.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add an
aftermarket front bumper or
cover.
It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the Active Hood system
yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it
has an Active Hood system.
Do not attempt to modify any part of your Active Hood system.
The Active Hood may deploy ac-
cidentally or may not function
properly if modifications are
made. Take your vehicle to an
authorized dealer for any hood
service.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Drivers must be aware of pedes-trians. Always be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, and obstructions. You
are responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or
death.
ENHANCED SEAT BELT
USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)
BeltAlert® is a feature intended to
remind the driver and front passenger
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided with front passenger
BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat belts.
The feature is active whenever the
ignition is on. If the driver or front
seat passenger is unbelted, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will turn on and
remain on until both front seat belts
are fastened.
The BeltAlert® warning sequence be-
gins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat Belt
45
Page 52 of 364

Reminder Light and sounding an in-
termittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat-
belts are fastened. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occu-
pants to fasten their seat belts. If a
front seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than
8 km/h, BeltAlert® will provide both
audio and visual notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is
not active when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may be
triggered when an animal or heavy
object is on the front passenger seat or
when the seat is folded flat (for
versions/markets, where provided). It
is recommended that pets be re-
strained in the rear seat in pet har-
nesses or pet carriers that are secured
by seat belts, and cargo is properly
stowed.BeltAlert® can be enabled or disabled
by your authorized dealer. LANCIA
does not recommend deactivating
BeltAlert®.
NOTE: Although BeltAlert® has
been deactivated, the Seat Belt Re-
minder Light will continue to illu-
minate while the driver’s or front
passenger (for versions/markets,
where provided with BeltAlert®)
seat belt remains unfastened.
SEAT BELTS AND
PREGNANT WOMEN
We recommend that pregnant women
use the seat belts throughout their
pregnancies. Keeping the mother safe
is the best way to keep the baby safe.
Pregnant women should wear the lap
part of the belt across the thighs and
as snug across the hips as possible.
Keep the belt low so that it does not
come across the abdomen. That way
the strong bones of the hips will take
the force if there is a collision.
SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
— AIR BAGS
This vehicle has Advanced Front Air
Bags for both the driver and front
passenger as a supplement to the seat
belt restraint systems. The driver's
Advanced Front Air Bag is mounted
in the center of the steering wheel.
The passenger's Advanced Front Air
Bag is mounted in the instrument
panel, above the glove compartment.
The words SRS AIRBAG are em-
bossed on the air bag covers.

Page 53 of 364

NOTE: The Driver and Front Pas-
senger Advanced Front Air Bags
are certified to regulations for Ad-
vanced Air Bags.
The Advanced Front Air Bags have a
multistage inflator design. This allows
the air bag to have different rates of
inflation based on several factors, in-
cluding the severity and type of colli-
sion.
This vehicle may be equipped with a
driver and/or front passenger seat
belt buckle switch that detects
whether the driver or front passenger
seat belt is fastened. The seat belt
buckle switch may adjust the inflation
rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags.
This vehicle is equipped with Supple-
mental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABIC) to protect the driver,
front, and rear passengers sitting next
to a window. The SABIC air bags are
located above the side windows and
their covers are also labeled: SRS
AIRBAG.
This vehicle is equipped with Supple-
mental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags(SAB). The Supplemental Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bags are marked
with an air bag label sewn into the
outboard side of the front seats.
NOTE:
Air Bag covers may not be obvi-
ous in the interior trim, but they
will open during air bag deploy-
ment.
After any accident, the vehicle should be taken to an autho-
rized dealer immediately.

ADVANCED FRONT AIR
BAG FEATURES
The Advanced Front Air Bag system
has multistage driver and front pas-
senger air bags. This system provides
output appropriate to the severity and
type of collision as determined by the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC), which may receive informa-
tion from the front impact sensors.
The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires air bag deployment. This low
output is used in less severe collisions.
A higher energy output is used for
more severe collisions.
47
Page 54 of 364

WARNING!
No objects should be placed overor near the air bag on the instru-
ment panel, because any such ob-
jects could cause harm if the ve-
hicle is in a collision severe
enough to cause the air bag to
inflate.
Do not put anything on or around the air bag covers or attempt to
open them manually. You may
damage the air bags and you
could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional.
The protective covers for the air
bag cushions are designed to open
only when the air bags are inflat-
ing.
Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee bolster in any way.
Do not mount any accessories to the knee bolster such as alarm
lights, stereos, citizen band ra-
dios, etc.
Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag: Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
rear seat.
WARNING!
Infants in rear-facing child re-
straints should never ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with a Pas-
senger Advanced Front Air Bag. An
air bag deployment can cause se-
vere injury or death to infants in
that position.
You should read the instructions pro-
vided with your child restraint to
make sure that you are using it prop-
erly.
All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.
Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly
(see Section on Child Restraints)
should be secured in the rear seat in
child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do
not use child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats should ride
properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under
their arm.
If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to accommodate
a disabled person, contact the Cus-
tomer Center.
The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as prac-
tical to allow the Advanced Front Air
Bags room to inflate.
Do not lean against the door or win-
dow. If your vehicle has side air bags,
and deployment occurs, the side air
bags will inflate forcefully into the
space between you and the door.
WARNING!
Relying on the air bags alone
could lead to more severe injuries
in a collision. The air bags work
with your seat belt to restrain you
properly. In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all. Al-
ways wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.

WARNING!(Continued)
Being too close to the steeringwheel or instrument panel during
Advanced Front Air Bag deploy-
ment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air bags need
room to inflate. Sit back, com-
fortably extending your arms to
reach the steering wheel or in-
strument panel.
Side air bags also need room to inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.
In a collision, you and your pas- sengers can suffer much greater
injuries if you are not properly
buckled up. You can strike the
interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown
out of the vehicle. Always be sure
you and others in your vehicle are
buckled up properly.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) may provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant
during a side impact. The SAB is
marked with an air bag label sewn
into the outboard side of the front
seats.
When the air bag deploys, it opens the
seam between the front and side of the
seat's trim cover. Each air bag deploys
independently; a left side impact de-
ploys the left air bag only and a right-
side impact deploys the right air bag
only.
Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
SABIC air bags may offer side-impact
and vehicle rollover protection to
front and rear seat outboard occu-
pants in addition to that provided bythe body structure. Each air bag fea-
tures inflated chambers placed adja-
cent to the head of each outboard
occupant that reduce the potential for
side-impact head injuries. The SABIC
deploy downward, covering both win-
dows on the impact side.
NOTE:
Should a vehicle rollover occur,
the pretensioners and/or SAB
and SABIC air bags on both
sides of the vehicle may deploy.
Air Bag covers may not be obvi- ous in the interior trim, but they
will open during air bag
deployment.
Being too close to the SAB and SABIC air bags during deploy-
ment could cause you to be se-
verely injured or killed.
The system includes side impact sen-
sors that are calibrated to deploy the
side air bags during impacts that re-
quire air bag occupant protection.
SAB and SABIC air bags are a supple-
ment to the seat belt restraint system.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag Label

Occupants, including children who
are up against or very close to SAB or
SABIC air bags can be seriously in-
jured or killed. Occupants, especially
children, should not lean on or sleep
against the door, side windows, or
area where the SAB or SABIC air bags
inflate, even if they are in an infant or
child restraint. Always sit upright as
possible with your back against the
seat back, use the seat belts properly,
and use the appropriate sized child
restraint, infant restraint or booster
seat recommended for the size and
weight of the child.
WARNING!
Your vehicle is equipped withSABIC air bags, do not have any
accessory items installed which
will alter the roof, including add-
ing a sunroof to your vehicle. Do
not add roof racks that require
permanent attachments (bolts or
screws) for installation on the ve-
hicle roof. Do not drill into the
roof of the vehicle for any reason.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Your vehicle is equipped with leftand right Supplemental Side Air
Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC),
do not stack luggage or other
cargo up high enough to block the
location of the SABIC. The area
where the SABIC is located
should remain free from any ob-
structions.
Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and
the side air bags; the performance
could be adversely affected
and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help pro-
tect the knees of the driver and the
front passenger, and position front oc-
cupants for the best interaction with
the Advanced Front Air Bags.
Along with seat belts and pretension-
ers, Advanced Front Air Bags work
with the knee bolsters to provide im-
proved protection for the driver and front passenger. Side air bags also
work with seat belts to improve occu-
pant protection.
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT
SENSORS AND CONTROLS
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
The ORC is part of a regulated safety
system required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of
the front and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Air Bags, SABIC air
bags, Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags, and front seat belt pre-
tensioners, as required, depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of impact.
Advanced Front Air Bags are designed
to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in cer-
tain frontal collisions depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of collision. Advanced Front
