GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING 
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for complying with, and ensur-
ing that all the other occupants of the car also comply with,
the local laws in force in relation to the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before setting off.
Seat belts are also to be worn by pregnant women: the risk
of injury in the case of impact 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. 3). The best way to protect the un-
born child is to protect the mother. When a safety belt is
worn properly, it is more likely that the unborn child will
not be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for any-
one, the key to making safety belts effective is wearing
them properly.
For maximum protection, keep the backrest
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.
fig. 3L0E0404m
The belt must not be twisted. The upper part must pass
over the shoulder and cross the chest diagonally. The low-
er part must fit over the pelvis (as shown in fig. 4) rather
than the abdomen of the passenger.
Never use devices (clips, clamps, etc.) to hold the seat belt
away from your body.
Removing or otherwise tampering with seat
belt and pretensioner components is strictly
prohibited. Any operations on these compo-
nents must be performed by qualified and autho-
rised technicians. Always go to a Lancia Dealer-
ship.
