The research results in relation to the
best protection for children is illus-
trated in European standard ECE-
R44 which divides the restraint sys-
tems into five groups in addition 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
As it may be noted, the groups over-
lap partly and, in fact, in commerce it
is possible to find devices that cover
more than one weight group.
All restraint devices must bear the
type-approval data along with the
control mark on a label that must be
firmly secured to the child seat and
must never be removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point
of view of restraint systems, children
are considered as adults and must
wear the seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Lancia includes child
seats for each weight group. These de-
vices are recommended having been
specifically designed for Lancia cars.
SEVERE DANGER: do not
arrange child seats on the
front seat facing backwards if the
passenger’s front airbag is enabled.
Deployment of the airbag in the
event of an accident could cause fa-
tal injuries to the baby. It is advis-
able to carry children on the back
seat, which is the most protected
position in the event of an accident.
Under no circumstances should
child seats be fitted on the front
seat if the car is equipped with an
airbag on the passenger side, be-
cause if the airbag is deployed, it
may cause fatal injuries to the
baby regardless of the severity of
the crash causing the deployment.
WARNING
On cars supplied with a
deactivation system for
the front passenger
airbag, children can sit on
the front seat, when re-
quired. In this case, how-
ever, make sure that the airbag is
actually deactivated by checking
the amber warning light on the
panel (see the paragraph “front
airbag on passenger side” in the
section on both front and side
airbags). Move the passenger’s
seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the child
seat and the dashboard.

GROUP 0 and 0+ fig. 10
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
facing backwards on a cradle seat,
which supports the head, thus not in-
ducing stresses on the baby’s neck in
the event of sharp decelerations.
Cradle seats must be withheld using
the car seat belts. To restrain the baby
use the seat belts fitted in the child
seat.GROUP 1 fig. 11
Children from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight
can be carried facing forwards if the
child seat is fitted with a front cush-
ion, through which the car seat belt
restrains both child and seat.

The figure is indicative for assembly purposes only. Refer to the
instructions supplied with the child seat.
WARNING
Some child restraint systems for weight group 0 and 1 have a rear
attachment and seat belts for securing the child. Due to their
weight, they may be dangerous if incorrectly mounted (e.g. if fastened to
the car seat belts placing a cushion in between). Follow the assembly in-
structions carefully.
WARNING
GROUP 2 fig. 12
Children from 15 to 25 kg can be se-
cured using the car seat belts directly.
The child seat is only needed to posi-
tion the child correctly with respect to
the belts so that the diagonal section
crosses the child’s chest and never the
neck and is snug on the hips and not
the abdomen.
The figure is indicative for
assembly purposes only.
Refer to the instructions supplied
with the child seat.

Below is a summary of the safety
rules to be followed for carrying
children:
❒The recommended position for in-
stalling the child seat is on the rear
seat, as it is the most protected
area in the event of a crash.
❒If the passenger’s air bag is deac-
tivated (where provided) always
check that the amber “warning
light on the panel is permanently
on to indicate actual airbag deac-
tivation.
❒Thoroughly follow the instructions
that must be provided by the
manufacturer with the child seat.
Keep the instructions in the car
along with the other papers and
this handbook. Do not use child
seats without instructions.
❒Pull the belt to make sure that the
seat belt is properly hooked.❒Only one child must sit on the
child seat: never let two children
sit on it simultaneously.
❒Always check that the seat belts do
not run around the child’s neck.
❒While travelling, do not let the
child sit incorrectly or release the
belts.
❒Never carry children, nor even in-
fants, on your lap. No-one, how-
ever strong, can hold a child in the
case of an accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace
the child’s seat with a new one. ISOFIX
CHILD RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUP
Provision has been made on the car to
mount a Universal Isofix child re-
straint system, a new European stan-
dardised system for carrying children
safely.
Isofix systems can be mounted simul-
taneously with a traditional restraint
system.
An example of child seat is shown in
fig. 14.
The Universal Isofix child seat covers
weight group: 1.
Specific Isofix child seats cover the
other weight groups. These seats must
be designed, tested and type-ap-
proved specifically for this car (refer
to the list of cars attached to the child
seat).
Do not arrange child seats
on the front seat in cars
fitted with an airbag on the pas-
senger side. Children must never
travel on the front seat.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of
your car down and lower the amount
of toxic emissions released into the at-
mosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Service
schedule”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption
because rolling resistance will be
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
boot. The weight of the car (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affect consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These acces-
sories decrease aerodynamic penetra-
tion of the car and have a negative ef-
fect on consumption. It is better to use
a trailer to transport particularly
bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the
amount of time needed. Rear heated
window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, there-
fore increasing the requirement of
current increases fuel consumption
(up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires
higher fuel consumption (up to +20%
in average): use the air vents when the
external temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag
and consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the
car standing: the engine warms up
very slowly in these conditions, in-
creasing consumption and emissions.
It is advisable to start off immediately
and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much
faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at
traffic lights or before stopping the
engine. The latter action, like dou-
bling the clutch, is unnecessary and
causes increase of consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic
and road conditions allow. Using a
low gear for faster acceleration will in-
crease consumption.
In the same way improper use of a
high gear increases consumption,
emissions an engine wear.

AND

Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably in-
creases as speed increases. Keep your
speed as even as possible, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration
which cause excessive fuel consump-
tion and increase emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very nega-
tive effect on consumptions and emis-
sions: accelerate gradually and do not
go over the maximum torque ratio.CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold
start-ups will prevent the engine from
reaching optimal running tempera-
ture. Consequently, both consumption
(from +15 to +30% on urban cycle )
and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when trav-
elling in a queue with frequent use of
low gears or in cities with many traf-
fic lights. Mountain and rough roads
also have a negative effect on con-
sumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be provided with a
type-approved tow hitch and ade-
quate electrical system to tow cara-
vans or trailers. Installation must be
performed by specialised personnel
who will issue the required papers for
travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
rear-view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtak-
ing takes longer depending on the
overall weight.
When driving downhill engage a low
gear, rather than constantly using the
brake.

The weight of the trailer on the car tow
hook reduces of the same value the load
capacity of the car. Consider the weight
of the car at full load, including acces-
sories and luggage to make sure you do
not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown on the log book).
Respect the speed limits specific for
each country for vehicles towing trail-
ers. In all cases, the top speed must
not exceed 100 km/h.
The ABS with which the
car is equipped will not
control the braking system of the
trailer. Take specific care when
travelling on slippery roads.
WARNING
Never modify the braking
system of the car to control
the trailer brake. The trailer brak-
ing system must be fully indepen-
dent from the hydraulic system of
the car.
WARNING
INSTALLING THE
TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or in-
tegrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current
regulations with reference to
94/20/EC Directive and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device
used must match the towable weight
of the car on which it is to be in-
stalled.
For the electric connection a unified
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing de-
vice, and a special ECU for external
trailer light control shall be installed
on the car. For the electrical connection, 7 or 13
pin 12VDC connection is to be used
(CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Stan-
dards). Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the car manufacturer and/or
the tow hitch manufacturer.
An electric brake should be supplied
directly by the battery through a ca-
ble with a cross section of no less than
2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other
device shall be used with running en-
gine.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the car’s electric system can only be
connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light, though not above 15W.
For connections use the preset control
unit with battery cable no less than
2.5 mm
2.
