roof rack Lancia Thema 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING!
 Your vehicle is equipped withSABIC air bags, do not have any
accessory items installed which
will alter the roof, including add-
ing a sunroof to your vehicle. Do
not add roof racks that require
permanent attachments (bolts or
screws) for installation on the ve-
hicle roof. Do not drill into the
roof of the vehicle for any reason.
 Do not use accessory seat covers
or place objects between you and
the side air bags; the performance
could be adversely affected
and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag (for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag provides enhanced protection
and works together with the Driver
Advanced Front Air Bag during a
frontal impact.
Knee Impact Bolster
The Knee Impact Bolster helps pro-
tect the knees of the front passenger, and position the front occupant for
the best interaction with the Ad-
vanced Front Air Bag.
Along with seat belts and pretension-
ers, Advanced Front Air Bags work
with the Supplemental Driver Side
Knee Air Bag and the passenger side
knee bolster to provide improved pro-
tection for the driver and front pas-
senger. Side air bags also work with
seat belts to improve occupant protec-
tion.
Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag:
Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
rear seat.
WARNING!
Infants in rear-facing child re-
straints should never ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with a passen-
ger Advanced Front Air Bag. An air
bag deployment can cause severe in-
jury or death to infants in that posi-
tion.
Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly
(see Section on Child Restraints)
should be secured in the rear seat in
child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do
not use child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats should ride
properly buckled up in the rear seat.
Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under
their arm.
You should read the instructions pro-
vided with your child restraint to
make sure that you are using it prop-
erly.
All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.
The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as prac-
tical to allow the Advanced Front Air
Bags room to inflate.
Do not lean against the door or win-
dow. If your vehicle has side air bags,
and deployment occurs, the side air
bags will inflate forcefully into the
space between you and the door.
