BeltAlert® can be enabled or disabled
by your authorized dealer. LANCIA
does not recommend deactivating
BeltAlert®.
NOTE:
Although BeltAlert® has been de-
activated, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light will continue to illuminate

SEAT BELTS AND
PREGNANT WOMEN
We recommend that pregnant women
use the seat belts throughout their
pregnancy. Keeping the mother safe is
the best way to keep the baby safe.Pregnant women should wear the lap
part of the belt across the thighs and
as snug across the hips as possible.
Keep the belt low so that it does not
come across the abdomen. That way
the strong bones of the hips will take
the force if there is a collision.
