when travelling at a speed from 10 to 20 km/h for
longer than 5 seconds, an acoustic signal sequence
will be started (front seats) consisting of a tone
for 6 seconds followed by a 90 second beep. The
warning light will flash.
The warning lights will stay on constantly at the
end of the cycle until the car is stopped. The
acoustic signal will be interrupted immediately
when the driver's seat belt is fastened and the
warning light will turn green.
The reminder cycle (acoustic and visual) will be
repeated as described above and the red warning
light will flash if the seat belt is unfastened again
while travelling.

Passenger
A similar situation applies to the front passenger,
with the difference that the warning light turns
green and the indication is also interrupted when
the passenger leaves the car.
It both front seat belts are unfastened while the
car is travelling a few seconds apart, the acoustic
indication will refer to the most recent event
and the two warning lights will proceed with the
visual indication independently.
Rear seats (warning lights no. 2 and no. 3 -
4-seater versions or warning lights no. 2, no. 3
and no. 4 - 5-seater versions)
For rear seats, the reminder cycle occurs only
when any seat belt is unfastened (red flashing
warning light). In this condition, the warning light
referred to the seat belt which has been
unfastened will become red and blink for
approximately 30 seconds. An acoustic signal is
also issued.
The visual indication (red flashing) will start and
stop independently for each warning light if
several seat belts are unfastened. The warning
light will become green when the relevant seat belt
is fastened again.
The rear seat warning lights will switch off,
regardless of the state of the belt (red or green)
approximately 30 seconds after the last signal.IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, if all the front and rear belts are already
fastened the warning lights will remain lit with a
constant green light for 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the "belts fastened" warning lights will
be lit with a constant green light while those for
the belts unfastened will be lit with a constant red
light. If the last belt is also fastened, the the
warning lights will remain lit with a steady green
light for about 30 seconds then they will switch
off.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE
SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants of the car
also respect, the local laws in force in relation to
the use of the seat belts. Always fasten the seat
belts before starting.
Seat belts must also be worn by expectant
mothers: the risk of injury in the event of an
accident is greatly reduced for them and
the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position the lower part
of the belt very low down so that it passes over the
pelvis and under the abdomen (see fig. 98).
WARNING
For maximum safety, keep the back
of your seat upright, lean back into it
and make sure the seat belt fits closely
across your chest and pelvis. Always fasten
the seat belts on both the front and the rear
seats! Travelling without wearing seat belts
will increase the risk of serious injury and
even death in the event of an accident.
WARNING
Removing or otherwise tampering
with safety belt and pretensioner
components is strictly prohibited. Any
operations on these components must be
performed by qualified and authorised
technicians. Always go to a Lancia
Dealership.

All restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child seat which must never be
removed. When over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and have to wear the
standard seat belts. Lineaccessori Lancia includes
child seats for each weight group. These devices
are recommended having been specifically
designed for Lancia cars.
WARNING
Do not arrange cradle child seats
facing backwards if the front air bag
on the passenger's side is enabled.
Deployment of the air bag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby
regardless of the severity of the collision. It
is advisable to always carry children in a
child seat on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Should it be absolutely necessary to
carry a child on the front seat in a
backwards-facing craddle seat, the
passenger's front and side air bags must be
deactivated through the Setup menu.
Deactivation should be verified by checking
the warning light on the instrument panel.
The passenger seat must also be positioned
back as far as possible in order to avoid
the child seat from coming into contact with
the dashboard.

Main safety rules to be followed when
carrying children:
❒Install the child seats on the rear seat, which is
the most protected position in the event of an
accident.
❒If the passenger's air bag is deactivated always
check the warning light on the instrument
panel to make sure that it has actually been
deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions supplied with
the child seat which are mandatory by law.
Keep the instructions in the car along with the
other documents and this handbook. Do not use
second-hand child seats without instructions.
❒Always check that the seat belt is well fastened
by pulling on it.
❒Only one child is to be strapped into each
retaining system; never carry two children using
one child seat.
❒Always check that the seat belts do not restrain
the child's throat.
❒While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or release the belts.
❒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
seat with a new one.
ISOFIX CHILD SEAT SETUPThe car can be fitted with a Universal Isofix child
seat, a new European standardised system for
carrying children safely.
Isofix systems can be fitted alongside traditional
child seat. An example of Universal Isofix child
seat covering weight group 1 is shown in fig. 105.
Specific Isofix child seats cover the other weight
groups. These seats must be designed, tested
and type-approved specifically for this car (refer
to the list of cars attached to the child seat).
IMPORTANT The central rear seat is not
approved for any type of Isofix seats
