STORING THE DRIVER’S SEAT
POSITIONS (fig. 46)
The system allows to store and
recall three different driver’s seat
positions and external rear view mir-
ror positions.
Seat position memorization also
includes the head restraint adjust-
ment in height, the position of the
external rear view mirrors and of the
steering wheel (only versions with
electric adjustment).
The seat, external rear view mirror
and steering wheel positions can
only be stored when the ignition key
is at MAR.Adjust the position of the seat,
head restraint, external rear view
mirrors and steering wheel by means
of the relevant controls, then press
for about 3 seconds any of buttons
“1”, “2” or “3” each corresponding
to one stored position, until a confir-
mation beep is heard.
When memorising the seat posi-
tions, also the head restraint, electric
rear view mirror and steering wheel
positions are memorised.
The previously stored position will
automatically be deleted when a new
position is stored under the same
button.
IMPORTANTSeat position mem-
orization does not include lumbar
adjustment and heating actuation.
Recalling stored positions
With the key in position MAR, any
stored position can be recalled by
briefly pressing the respective but-
ton “1”, “2” or “3”. The seat will
move automatically and stop in the
stored position.

Recalling the “parking” position
of the external rear view mirror
on passenger side
To automatically recall the “park-
ing” position of the external passen-
ger rear view mirror, proceed as fol-
lows:
– with the car stopped and the igni-
tion key at MAR, engage the reverse
gear; the mirror will be automatical-
ly brought back to the previously
stored position .
If no “parking” position has been
stored, when engaging reverse the
passenger mirror slightly lowers
than normally to a preset position to
facilitate the driver during parking.
The rear view mirror will automat-
ically return to its initial position
after about 10 seconds from reverse
gear disengagement, or immediately
after exceeding a speed of 10 km/h
with forward gear. IMPORTANTThe “parking” posi-
tion memorisation and recall can
only be performed with ignition key
at MAR.
Automatic realignment
of external rear view mirrors
Every time the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the external rear
view mirrors automatically return to
the latest position reached and/or
recalled before removing the key.
This enables rear view mirror
alignment if, when the car is parked,
one of the rear view mirror has been
manually and/or accidentally
moved.COMFORT SEATS (fig. 47)
Button Aon front Comfort Seats
enables to actuate the respective con-
trols separately. When pressing the
button of each of the two seats, the
respective CONNECT menu is actu-
ated; this menu makes it possible,
through its various options, to define
the heating levels and actuate venti-
lation, massage and the adaptive
function for each of the two seats.
The Comfort controls can also be
actuated by pressing the “Setup” key
of the CONNECT and then selecting
the “Seat Comfort” function.
To actuate these settings, refer to
the CONNECT supplement provid-
ed with the car.
IMPORTANTNever turn the pas-
senger massage function on when
the seat is not occupied since the
occupant sensor could activate (in
the event of an accident) the rele-
vant air bag.

LOAD LIMITING DEVICES
In order to increase passive safety,
the front and rear seat belt reels
have a built-in load limiting device
which collapse in a controlled fash-
ion so to dose the force on the pas-
senger’s shoulder and chest during
the retaining operation. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE USE OF THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and
have the vehicle occupants follow)
all the local legal regulations con-
cerning the use of seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
starting.The belt should not be
twisted, make sure that it
is taut and adheres to the
passenger’s body. The upper part
should pass over the shoulder
and cross the chest diagonally.
The lower part should adhere to
the pelvis and to the abdomen of
the passenger (fig. 73). Do not use
any objects (pegs, stoppers, etc.)
to keep the belts away from the
body.
For maximum safety,
keep the back of your seat
upright, lean back into it
and make sure the seat belt fits
closely across your chest and
hips.
Make sure that the seat belts of
the front and rear passengers are
fastened at all times! You
increase the risk of serious injury
or death in a collision if you trav-
el with the belts unfastened.

Operations which lead
to knocks, vibrations or
localised heating (over
100°C for a maximum of 6 hours)
in the area around the preten-
sioners may cause damage or
trigger them. These devices are

by irregularities of the road sur-
face or low obstacles such as
kerbs, etc. Contact a Lancia

middle scale values. reduce your
demand on the engine if the needle
approaches top scale values.The warning light Awill come on
together with message “ENGINE
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
HIGH” on the instrument panel dis-
play to indicate that the coolant
temperature is too hot. In this case,
stop the engine immediately and
contact a Lancia Dealership.
