The Vehicle Security Alarm is de-
signed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where
the system will give you a false alarm.
If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm re-
gardless of whether you are in the
vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed
and the battery becomes disconnected,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will remain
armed when the battery is reconnected;
the exterior lights will flash, the horn
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.PREMIUM SECURITY
SYSTEM (for versions/
markets, where provided)The Premium Security system moni-
tors the doors, hood latch, and liftgate
for unauthorized entry and the ignition
switch for unauthorized operation.The system also includes a dual func-
tion intrusion sensor and vehicle tilt
sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors
the vehicle interior for motion. The
vehicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle
for any tilting actions (tow away, tire
removal, ferry transport, etc).
In the event that something triggers
the security system, the headlights
will turn on and the turn signal and
side repeater lights will flash for
34 seconds. The system will repeat
this sequence for up to 8 security
violations in any mode (door ajar,
motion, hood ajar, etc.) before having
to rearm the system. At the end of any
particular trigger event, the lights will
continue to flash for 26 seconds.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the theft
alarm:
1. Make sure the vehicle ignition sys-
tem is "OFF". (refer to "Starting Pro-
cedures" in "Starting And Driving"
for further information).
2. Perform one of the following
methods to lock the vehicle:
 Press LOCK on the interior power
door lock switch with the driver
and/or passenger door open.
 Press the LOCK button on the exte-
rior Passive Entry Door Handle with a
valid Key Fob available in the same
exterior zone (refer to "Keyless Enter-
N­Go™" in "Knowing Your Vehicle"
for further information).

Press the LOCK button on the Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.3. If any doors are open, close them.
NOTE:
Once the security system is armed,
it remains in that state until you
disarm it by following either of the
disarming procedures described.
If a power loss occurs after arming
the system, you must disarm the
system after restoring power to
prevent alarm activation. The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion detector) actively moni-
tors your vehicle every time you

GENERAL INFORMATIONTransmitter and receivers operate on a
carrier frequency of 433.92 MHz as
required by EEC regulations. These
devices must be certified to conform to
specific regulations in each individual
country. Two sets of regulations are
involved: ETS (European Telecommu-
nication Standard) 300–220, which
most countries use, and German BZT
federal regulation 225Z125, which
is based on ETC 300–220 but has
additional unique requirements. Other
defined requirements are noted in
ANNEX VI of COMMISSION DIREC-
TIVE 95/56/EC. Operation is subject
to the following conditions: This device may not cause harmfulinterference.
This device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.If your RKE transmitter fails to oper-
ate from a normal distance, check for
these two conditions:
1. A weak battery in the RKE trans-
mitter. The expected life of the battery
is a minimum of three years. 2. Closeness to a radio transmitter
such as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radios.
DOOR LOCKS
MANUAL DOOR LOCKS
To lock each door, push the door lock
knob on each door trim panel down-
ward. To unlock the front doors, pull
the inside door handle to the first de-
tent. To unlock the rear doors, pull the
door lock knob on the door trim panel
upward.
If the door lock knob is down when
you shut the door, the door will lock.
Therefore, make sure the Key Fob is
not inside the vehicle before closing
the door.
WARNING!
 For personal security and safety
in the event of an accident, lock
the vehicle doors before you drive
as well as when you park and
leave the vehicle.
 When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
 Allowing children to be in a ve- hicle unattended is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fa-
tally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
 Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, and do not leave Key-
less Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.

WARNING!
A lap belt worn too high can in-
crease the risk of injury in a colli-
sion. The belt forces won't be at
the strong hip and pelvic bones,
but across your abdomen. Always
wear the lap part of your seat belt
as low as possible and keep it snug. A twisted belt may not protectyou properly. In a collision, it
could even cut into you. Be sure
the belt is straight. If you can't
straighten a belt in your vehicle,
take it to your authorized dealer
immediately and have it fixed.
5. Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor
will withdraw any slack in the belt. 6. To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed
position. If necessary, slide the latch
plate down the webbing to allow the
belt to retract fully.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage
In the driver and front passenger
seats, the shoulder belt can be ad-
justed upward or downward to posi-
tion the belt away from your neck.
Push and fully depress the button
above the webbing to release the an-
chorage, then move it up or down to
the position that fits you best.
As a guide, if you are shorter than
average you will prefer a lower posi-
tion, and if you are taller than average
you will prefer a higher position.
When you release the anchorage try to
move it up and down to make sure
that it is locked in position.
In the rear seat, move toward the cen-
ter of the seat to position the belt away
from your neck.
LAP/SHOULDER BELT
UNTWISTING PROCEDURE
Use the following procedure to un-
twist a twisted lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.
2. At about 15 to 30 cm above the
latch plate, grasp and twist the belt
webbing 180 degrees to create a fold
that begins immediately above the
latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over
the folded webbing. The folded web-
bing must enter the slot at the top of
the latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded webbing.

WARNING!(Continued)
Modifications to any part of the
Active Hood system could cause it
to fail when you need it. Do not
modify the components or wiring.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add an
aftermarket front bumper or cover. It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the Active Hood system
yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it
has an Active Hood system.
Do not attempt to modify any part
of your Active Hood system. The
Active Hood may deploy acciden-
tally or may not function properly
if modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any hood service.Drivers must be aware of pedestri-
ans. Always be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other ve-
hicles, and obstructions. You are
responsible for safety and must
continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
ENHANCED SEAT BELT
USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)BeltAlert® is a feature intended to re-
mind the driver and front passenger
(for versions/markets, where provided
with front passenger BeltAlert®) to
fasten their seat belts. The feature is
active whenever the ignition is on. If
the driver or front seat passenger is
unbelted, the Seat Belt Reminder Light
will turn on and remain on until both
front seat belts are fastened.The BeltAlert® warning sequence
begins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat BeltReminder Light and sounding an in-
termittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat-
belts are fastened. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occu-
pants to fasten their seat belts. If a front seat belt is unbuckled while trav-
eling at speeds greater than 8 km/h,
BeltAlert® will provide both audio and
visual notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is
not active when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may be
triggered when an animal or heavy
object is on the front passenger seat
or when the seat is folded flat (for
versions/markets, where provided).
It is recommended that pets be re-
strained in the rear seat in pet har-
nesses or pet carriers that are secured
by seat belts, and cargo is properly
stowed.
BeltAlert® can be enabled or disabled
by your authorized dealer. LANCIA
does not recommend deactivating
BeltAlert®.
NOTE: Although BeltAlert® has
been deactivated, the Seat Belt Re-
minder Light will continue to illu-
minate while the driver’s or front
passenger (for versions/markets,
where provided with BeltAlert®)
seat belt remains unfastened.

WARNING!
An incorrectly anchored tether
strap could lead to increased head
motion and possible injury to the
child. Use only the anchor positions
directly behind the child seat to se-
cure a child restraint top tether
strap.
NOTE:
Ensure that the tether strap does
not slip into the opening between
the seatbacks as you remove
slack in the strap.
When using the ISOFIX attaching
system to install a child restraint,
please ensure that all seat belts
not being used for occupant re-
straints are stowed and out of
reach of children. It is recom-
mended that before installing the
child restraint, buckle the seat
belt so the seat belt is tucked be-
hind the child restraint and out
of reach. If the buckled seat belt
interferes with the child restraint
installation, instead of tucking
the seat belt behind the child
restraint, route the seat belt
through the child restraint belt
path and then buckle it. This
should stow the seat belt out of
the reach of an inquisitive child.
Remind all children in the ve-
hicle that the seat belts are not
toys and should not be played
with, and never leave your child
unattended in the vehicle.
WARNING!
Improper installation of a child
restraint to the ISOFIX anchorages
can lead to failure of an infant or
child restraint. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer's directions exactly
when installing an infant or child
restraint.
Installing Child Restraints Using
The Vehicle Seat Belt
The seat belts in the rear passenger
seating positions are equipped with
an Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) to secure a Child Restraint
System (CRS). These types of seat
belts are designed to keep the lap
portion of the seat belt tight around
the child restraint so that it is not
necessary to use a locking clip. The
ALR will make a ratcheting noise if
you extract the entire belt from the
retractor and then allow the belt to

BLIND SPOT
MONITORING
(for versions/markets,
where provided)The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) sys-
tem uses two radar-based sensors,
located inside the rear bumper fascia,
to detect highway licensable vehicles
(automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones
from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.When the vehicle is started, the BSM
warning light will momentarily illu-
minate in both outside rear view mir-
rors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM sys-
tem sensors operate when the vehicleis in any forward gear or REVERSE
and enters stand by mode when the
vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers ap-
proximately one lane on both sides of
the vehicle. The zone starts at the
outside rear view mirror and extends
approximately 6 m to the rear of the
vehicle. The BSM system monitors
the detection zones on both sides of
the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 10 km/h or
higher and will alert the driver of
vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:
 The BSM system does NOT alert
the driver about rapidly ap-
proaching vehicles that are out-
side the detection zones.

The BSM system detection zone
DOES NOT change if your vehicle
is towing a trailer. Therefore,
visually verify the adjacent lane
is clear for both your vehicle and
trailer before making a lane
change. If the trailer or other
object (i.e., bicycle, sports equip-
ment) extends beyond the side of
your vehicle, this may result in
the BSM warning light remaining
illuminated the entire time the
vehicle is in a forward gear.The area on the rear fascia where the
radar sensors are located must remain
free of snow, ice, and dirt/road con-
tamination so that the BSM system
can function properly. Do not block
the area of the rear fascia where the
radar sensors are located with foreign
objects (bumper stickers, bicycle
racks, etc.).
Rear Detection Zones
BSM Warning Light
70

The BSM system is designed not to
issue an alert on stationary objects
such as guardrails, posts, walls, foli-
age, berms, etc. However, occasionally
the system may alert on such objects.
This is normal operation and your
vehicle does not require service.The BSM system will not alert you of
objects that are traveling in the oppo-
site direction of the vehicle in adjacent
lanes.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system
is only an aid to help detect objects
in the blind spot zones. The BSM
system is not designed to detect pe-
destrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Even if your vehicle is equipped
with the BSM system, always check
your vehicle's mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use your turn
signal before changing lanes. Fail-
ure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.REAR CROSS PATH
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the drivers when
backing out of parking spaces where
their vision of oncoming vehicles may
be blocked. Proceed slowly and cau-
tiously out of the parking space until
the rear end of the vehicle is exposed.
The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the
driver.
RCP monitors the rear detection
zones on both sides of the vehicle, for
objects that are moving toward the
side of the vehicle with a minimum
speed of approximately 1 km/h to

Blind Spot Alert OffWhen the BSM system is turned off,
there will be no visual or audible alerts
from either the BSM or RCP systems.NOTE:
The BSM system will store
the current operating mode when
the vehicle is shut off. Each time
the vehicle is started, the previously
stored mode will be recalled and
used.
Astronomy Zone — System
Temporarily Unavailable
The astronomy zone is when the ve-
hicles sensors cannot receive the sig-
nal of another vehicle approaching
due to interference in the reception of
the wavelength signal. When the ve-
hicle enters this zone the blind spot
system will become temporarily un-
available and the EVIC will display
the message “ Blind spot system
unavailable-Astronomy zone”. The
side mirrors LED’s will be lit up and
stay lit until the vehicle exits the zone. UCONNECT™ PHONE
