GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and have all car passengers
follow) any local regulations in force concerning the use
of seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts before starting.
Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers: the
risk of injury in the case of 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 un-
der the abdomen (see fig. 3).
fig. 3L0E0063m
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 wear-
ing seat belts will increase the risk of serious in-
jury and even death in the event of an accident.
Under no circumstances should the components of
the seat belts and pretensioners be tampered with
or removed. Any operations must be carried out by
qualified and authorised personnel only. Always go
to a Lancia Dealership.

156SAFETY
All child restraint devices must bear the certification data,
together with the control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the seat which must never be removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint
systems, children are considered as adults and wear the
seat belts normally. Lineaccessori Lancia includes child
seats for each weight group.
These devices are recommended and have been specifi-
cally designed for Lancia cars.
GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards on
a cradle seat, which, supporting the head, does not induce
stress on the neck in the event of sharp decelerations.
The cradle is restrained by the car seat belts, as shown
in fig. 4 and, in turn, it must restrain the child with its
own belts.
GROUP 1
From 9 kg to 18 kg of weight, children may be carried
facing forwards.

STARTING AND DRIVING175
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between the two front
seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the handbrake, until
the vehicle is braked.
The car should be braked after a few clicks
of the lever; if it is not, contact a Lancia
Dealership to have it adjusted.
When the handbrake is on and the ignition key is at MAR,
the instrument panel warning light xwill come on.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
❍slightly lift the handbrake and press release button
A-fig. 1;
❍keep button A pressed and lower the lever. The warn-
ing light xon the instrument panel will turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the car from moving accidentally. PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❍stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❍engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the car
is facing uphill or reverse if it is facing downhill) and
leave the wheels steered.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is also advisable
to block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the ignition key turned to MAR to prevent
draining the battery. Always remove the key when you
leave the car.
Never leave children in the unattended car. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving the car and take it
out with you.

250SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped under the
mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.
Never use flammable products, such as
petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the in-
side of the car. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during the clean-
ing operation may cause a fire.
Do not keep aerosol cylinders in the vehicle:
risk of explosion. Aerosol cylinders must not
be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50 °C.
When the car is exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution
of water and neutral detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with a moist cloth
and a solution of water and mild soap. Use specific prod-
ucts for cleaning plastic, without solvents and specifically
designed to prevent damage to the appearance and colour
of the treated parts to remove grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petroleum to clean the
instrument panel.
