❍prevent the retractors from getting wet: their correct
operation is only guaranteed if water does not get in-
side;
❍ replace the seat belt when it shows significant wear
or cuts.
❍ replace the seat belt when it demonstrates significant
wear or cuts.CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of an impact, all oc-
cupants must be seated and wearing adequate restraint
systems, including newborn and other children!
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries ac-
cording to EC Directive 2003/20/EC. Compared with an
adult, a child’s head is larger and heavier in proportion
to his/her body and the child’s muscular and bone struc-
tures are not fully developed. Therefore, correct restraint
systems other than adult seat belts are necessary to reduce
as much as possible the risk of injuries in the event of an
accident, braking or a sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and comfortably. As far
as the characteristics of the child restraint systems used
allow, you are advised to keep children in rear facing re-
straint systems for as long as possible (at least until 2 years
old), since this is the most protected position in the event
of an impact. The choice of the most suitable child re-
straint device depends on the weight of the child; there are
various types of child restraint systems and you are ad-
vised always to choose the one that is most suitable for the
child.
When over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults and
wear seat belts normally.

162SAFETY
Should it be necessary to carry a child on the
passenger side front seat in a rear facing
child restraint system, the passenger side
front airbag and side bag (for versions/markets,
where provided) must be deactivated through the
Setup menu. Deactivation should be verified by
checking whether the warning light is switched on
in the instrument panel. Move the passenger’s seat
as far back as possible to avoid contact between the
child restraint system and the dashboard.
Do not move the front or rear seat if a child
is seated on it or on the dedicated child re-
straint system.
On the sun visor there is a label with suitable
symbols to remind you that it is compulsory to
deactivate the airbag if a rear facing child re-
straint system is fitted. Always comply with the in-
structions on the passenger’s side sun visor (see the
“Front Airbags” paragraph).In Europe the characteristics of children restraint systems
are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group Weight range
Group 0 up to 10 kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the type-approval data
along with the control mark on a fixed label which must
never be removed in any circumstances. Lineaccessori
Lancia includes child restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are recommended, having been
specifically designed for Lancia cars.

FITTING THE “UNIVERSAL” CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(with seat belts)
GROUP 0 and 0+ Children up to 13 kg must be carried with rear-facing
restraint system of a type as shown in fig. 4 which, sup-
porting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the
event of sudden decelerations.
The restraint system is restrained by the car seat belts as
shown in fig. 6 and it must restrain the child in turn with
its own belts.
The diagram is indicative and for fitting
purposes only. Refer to the instructions
which must be supplied with the child re-
straint system.

Children from 9 to 18 kg may be carried in forward fac-
ing child restraint systems fig. 7.
GROUP 1
The diagram is indicative and for fitting
purposes only. Refer to the instructions
which must be supplied with the child re-
straint system.
Child restraint systems with Isofix attach-
ments are available, which allow them to be
secured to the seat safely without using the
car seat belts. For this type of seats see paragraph
“ISOFIX child restraint system setup” in this
chapter.

GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the car seat belts di-
rectly, fig. 8.In this case, the child restraint system is used only to po-
sition the child correctly with respect to the seat belts so
that the diagonal belt section crosses the child’s chest and
not the neck, and the lower part is snug on the pelvis,
not the abdomen.
The diagram is indicative and for fitting
purposes only. Refer to the instructions
which must be supplied with the child re-
straint system.

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.

purposes only. Refer to the instructions
which must be supplied with the child re-
straint system.
