S.B.R. system
The car is fitted with a Seat Belt Re-
minder system (S.B.R.), consisting of
a buzzer and a flashing warning light
warns the driver that the seat belt
must be fastened.
The buzzer can be deactivated tem-
porarily (until the next engine stop)
as follows:
❒fasten the driver’s seat belt;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then
release at least one of the seat
belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact
Lancia Dealership.
The S.B.R. system can be re-activated
through the “Setup” menu only (see
paragraph “Seat belts not fastened”
in section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).ADJUSTING THE
FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT
(where provided)
Always adjust the seat belt height to
the passenger’s body. This precaution
may considerably reduce the risk of
injury in the event of a collision.
Correct regulation is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half
way between the shoulder and the
neck.
To adjust, either lift or lower the grip
A-fig. 4of the locking mechanism and
at the same time move the ring Bto
the most suitable of the allowed posi-
tions.
Remember that in the event
of a violent collision, rear
seat passengers that do not wear seat
belts both pose a risk for their safety
and also represent a serious danger
for the front seat passengers.
WARNING
fig. 4L0D0128m
Stop the car to adjust the
seat belt height.
WARNING
After the adjustment, make
sure that the cursor to
which the ring is secured is blocked
in one of the possible positions. Re-
lease the grip and push downwards
to enable the locking device to click
if the grip has not been released in
one of the possible positions.

Side bags are not a replacement of,
but complementary to the seat belts,
which you are always recommended
to wear, as specified by law in Europe
and in most non-European countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side
crash, the system provides best pro-
tection if the passenger sits on the seat
in a correct position, thus allowing
correct window bag deployment.
IMPORTANT The front airbags
and/or side bags are deployed also if
the car is subject to strong collisions
or accidents involving the underbody
area, such as violent shocks against
steps, kerbs or low obstacles, falling
of the car in big holes or sags in the
road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust
is released when the airbags are de-
ployed. The dust is not harmful and
does not indicate the beginning of a
fire. Furthermore, the surface of the
deployed bag and the interior of the
car may be covered with residual
dust. This dust may irritate the skin
and the eyes. Use mild soap and wa-
ter to wash the parts of your body ex-
posed to this dust.The pyrotechnic charge of the airbag
system lasts for 14 years; the spiral
contact 10 years. Go to a Lancia
Dealership to have the devices re-
placed when the expiration date ap-
proaches.
IMPORTANT Should an accident oc-
cur activating any of the safety de-
vices, take the car to a Lancia Deal-
ership to have the activated devices
replaced and the system checked.
Airbag checking, repair and replace-
ment must only be carried out c/o the
Lancia Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped,
have the airbag system deactivated at
a Lancia Dealership first. If the car
changes ownership, the new owner
must be informed of how to use the
airbags and the above warnings: s/he
must also be given this “Owner’s
Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front
airbags and front side bags are de-
ployed differently according to the
type of collision. Non-deployment of
one of the devices does not necessar-
ily indicate a system malfunction.
Do not rest the head, arms
or elbows on the door, win-
dows and window bag area to avoid
possible injuries during inflation.
Never lean head, arms and elbows
out of the window.
WARNING
If the warning light ¬does
not turn on or stays on dur-
ing car travel when turning the key
to MAR, a failure may be present in
the restraint systems. If this is the
case, the airbags or pretensioners
may not be deployed after an impact
or, in a minor number of cases, they
may be deployed accidentally. Con-
tact a Lancia Dealership immedi-
ately to have the system checked.
Do not cover the front seat backrest
with upholstery or seat covers that
hinder deployment of the side bag.

Always drive keeping your
hands on the steering wheel
so that the airbag can inflate with-
out obstacles if it is deployed. Do
not drive with your body bent for-
ward. Keep your back straight
against the backrest. If the car is
stolen or an attempt is made to steal
it, or if the car has been subjected to
illegal attacks or flooding, have the
airbag system checked by a Lancia
Dealership.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying ob-
jects on your lap or opposite
the chest and keeping a pipe, pen-
cils, etc. between your lips in order
to avoid serious injuries due to de-
ployment of the airbag after a colli-
sion.
WARNING
The front airbag is de-
ployed in the event of colli-
sions having a more severe nature
than those required to activate the
pretensioners. For collisions in the
range between the two activation
thresholds, pretensioner activation
is normal.
WARNING
Turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light “
(airbag on passenger’s side enabled)
goes on and flashes for a few sec-
onds, thus reminding the passenger
that the airbag on his/her side will
deploy in the event of a collision. Af-
ter this time, the light goes off.
WARNING
Do not wash the car seats
with water or pressurised
steam (both by hand or at automatic
washing stations).
WARNING
The airbag does not replace
the safety belts, it increases
their effectiveness. Furthermore,
since front airbags are not deployed
after low speed collisions, side colli-
sions, rear-end shunts or roll-overs,
the passengers are only protected by
the seat belts which must be fas-
tened at all times.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to
cloth hangers and to the
support handles.
WARNING
If the ignition key is in
place and in the MAR posi-
tion, the airbags are deployed even
with the engine off in the event of a
car crash against another moving
vehicle. For this reason, children
must never sit on the front seat, even
if the car is not moving. On the other
hand, whenever the key is positioned
on STOP, the safety devices (airbags
or pretensioners) do not deploy af-
ter a collision. In this case non-de-
ployment of these devices does not
indicate a system malfunction.

STARTING
THE ENGINE
The car is provided with an electronic
engine lock device: refer to “The Lan-
cia CODE system” paragraph in
“Dashboard and controls” if you can-
not start the engine. The engine may
be noisier during the first seconds of
operation, particularly after a long pe-
riod of inactivity. This does not impair
functionality and reliability and is
typical of hydraulic tappets: the dis-
tribution system selected for the petrol
engines of your car in order to limit
the maintenance required.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accel-
erator;
❒turn the ignition to AV Vand re-
lease the key as soon as the engine
starts.If the engine does not start at the first
attempt, return the ignition key to
STOPbefore repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is on MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
Yremains on together with the
warning light U, turn the key to
STOPand then back to MAR; if the
warning light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
Is is dangerous to let the en-
gine run in enclosed spaces.
The engine depletes the oxygen and
discharges carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
In the first period of use, we
recommend to avoid exces-
sive stress for the car (for in-
stance excessive accelera-
tions, extended travel at maximum
speed, sudden braking etc.).
With engine off, do not leave
the key in the ignition switch
on MAR to prevent draining
the battery.
If you still cannot start the engine,
perform emergency start (see “Emer-
gency start” in chapter “In an emer-
gency”) and then contact a Lancia
Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition
key to MARwhen the engine is off.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR

it takes to turn off);
❒press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accel-
erator;
❒turn the ignition key to AV Vas
soon as the warning light
mturns
off. Waiting too long will waste the
work done by the glow plugs. Re-
lease the key as soon as the engine
starts.
IMPORTANT When the engine is
cold, rotating the ignition key to AV V,
the accelerator pedal must be com-
pletely released.
If the engine does not start at the first
attempt, return the ignition key to
STOP before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is on MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
Yremains on, turn the key to STOP

If you still cannot start the engine,
contact the Lancia Dealership.HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE
AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED
(petrol and Multijet engines)
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine
turn at medium speed. Do not ac-
celerate abruptly;
❒do not demand maximum perfor-
mance for the first few kilometres.
Wait until the engine coolant
gauge starts moving.Warning light
mwill blink
for 60 seconds after starting
or during prolonged crank-
ing to indicate a fault to the
glow plug heating system. Use the car
normally if the engine starts and con-
tact the Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
EMERGENCY START
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on steadily, you can perform
emergency start using the code on the
CODE card (see chapter “In an emer-
gency”).
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOPwhile the en-
gine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive,
you should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by let-
ting it idle to allow the temperature in
the engine compartment to fall.
Never jump start the engine
by pushing, towing or dri-
ving downhill. These actions
could cause the fuel to flow
into the catalytic converter and dam-
age it beyond repair.
Revving up before stopping
the engine is useless, it
causes unnecessary fuel con-
sumption and can damage
the engine, in particular engines
equipped with turbocharger.
IMPORTANT With engine off, do not
leave the key in the ignition switch on
MAR.

LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light ¬does not turn on or stays on during
car travel (together with the message
on the multifunctional display,
where provided), a failure may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In
this case the airbags or pretension-
ers may not be deployed after an im-
pact or, in a minor number of cases,
they may be deployed accidentally.
Contact Lancia Dealership immedi-
ately to have the system checked im-
mediately.
The failure of the warning
light
¬is indicated by the
warning light flashing longer than
the expected 4 seconds“, thus sig-
nalling that the front passenger
airbag is deactivated. In addition,
the airbag system automatically dis-
ables the airbag on the passenger’s
side (both front and side airbags,
where provided). In this case, the
warning light
¬does not neces-
sarily indicate a failure in the re-
straining systems. Contact Lancia
