CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of a crash, all pas-
sengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint
systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries ac-
cording to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
A child’s head is larger and heavier in proportion to his/her
body and the child’s muscular and bone structures are not
fully developed.
For this reason, they require restraint systems which are
different from those used by adults to protect them in the
event of an accident.
The result of research in relation to the best protection for
children is illustrated in European Regulation ECE-R44,
which divides the restraint systems into five groups in ad-
dition to making their use compulsory:
Group 0 - up to 10 kg in weight
Group 0+ - up to 13 kg in weight
Group 1 9 - 18 kg in weight
Group 2 15 - 25 kg in weight
Group 3 22 - 36 kg in weight
SEVERE DANGER: Do not arrange child
seats facing backwards on the front seat if the
passenger’s airbag is enabled. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the baby. It is advisable to carry
children on the rear seat, which is the most protected
position in the event of an accident. Child seats must
not be fitted on the front seat of cars fitted with a
passenger air bag, whose deployment in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby regardless of
the seriousness of the impact. If necessary, children
can travel in the front seat, if the passenger’s airbag
can be disabled. In this case be sure to verify that
the airbag is actually deactivated, observing the
“
warning light on the dashboard (see “Front airbag
- passenger side” in paragraph “Front airbags”).
Move the passenger’s seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the child seat and the dash-
board.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is provided with front air bags for the driver and
the passenger, driver’s knee air bag (where provided) and
front side bags (side bags - window bags).
The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knee air
bags) have been designed to protect the occupants in the
event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by plac-
ing a cushion between the occupant and the steering wheel
or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect car’s occupants in
head-on crashes and therefore non-activation in other
types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs,
etc.) is not a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate in the
event of a head-on crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself between
the front occupant’s body and the structures which could
cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knee air
bags) do not replace but rather complement the seat belts,
which you are always recommended to wear, as specified
by law in Europe and most non-European countries.
In the event of a collision, a person not wearing a seat belt
may be thrown forward and come into contact with the
bag before it has fully opened. The protection offered by
the bag is reduced in such a case.The front airbags may not be activated in the following sit-
uations:
in collisions against highly deformable objects not af-
fecting the front surface of the car (e.g. bumper colli-
sion against guard rail, etc.);
car penetration under other vehicles or protective bar-
riers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
in these instances they would not provide any additional
protection compared with the seat belts, so their deploy-
ment would be improper. Non deployment in such cases
does not constitute a fault.
Do not apply stickers or other objects to the
steering wheel, the dashboard in the passen-
ger-side airbag area, the roof side upholstery
or the seats. Do not place objects (e.g. cell phones)
on the passenger-side dashboard because these
could interfere with the correct opening of the airbag
and cause severe injury to occupants.

140SAFETY
The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knee air
bags) are designed and calibrated to protect front seat pas-
sengers 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 steering column guard and the
knees on driver’s side and between the dashboard and the
passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of frontal col-
lisions of low severity (for which the withholding action
of the seat belts is sufficient). Seat belts must always be
used. In the event of frontal crash they ensure the correct
positioning of the occupant. FRONT AIRBAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE, fig. 7
This consists of an instant-inflating bag contained in a
special recess in the centre of the steering wheel.
FRONT AIRBAG ON PASSENGER’S SIDE, fig. 8
This consists of an instant-inflating bag contained into a
special recess in the dashboard: this bag has a larger vol-
ume than that of the driver.

If after several attempts the engine will not start, do not
keep trying but contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never connect the negative terminals of the
two batteries directly: sparks could ignite explosive gas re-
leased from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is installed
on another car, prevent accidental contact between metal-
lic parts of the two cars.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or dri-
ving downhill.
This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic convert-
er and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and the
power steering system (if present) are not operative until
the engine is started, a greater effort will therefore be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.QUICK TYRE REPAIR KIT -
FIX & GO AUTOMATIC
The quick tyre repair kitFix & Go automatic is placed in
the luggage compartment.
The kit fig. 2 includes:
a cylinder A containing sealing liquid and fitted with:
– a filling pipe B;
– an adhesive label C bearing the words “max. 80
km/h”, to be attached in a position easily visible to
the driver (on the dashboard) after tyre repair;

REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a fault or improper action on the sys-
tem. Check the efficiency of the corresponding fuse when
a device does not work: the conducting element A- fig.
37 must not be interrupted. If it is, replace the blown fuse
with a new one with the same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.
To replace a fuse, use the pliers D-fig. 37 attached to the
dashboard control unit.
To identify the protection fuse, see the tables in the fol-
lowing pages.
fig. 37L0E0085m
If the fuse blows again contact a Lancia
Dealership.
Never replace a blown fuse with anything
other than a new fuse.
Never change a fuse with another with a
higher amp rating; FIRE RISK.
If a general protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE,
MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) blows, do not at-
tempt any repair and contact a Lancia Deal-
ership.
Before changing a fuse, check the ignition key
has been removed and that all the other elec-
tric devices have been turned off/disabled.
