Key of letters used in the table above:
(1) For the CRS which do not carry
the ISO/XX size class identification
(A to G), for the applicable mass
group, the car manufacturer shall in-
dicate the vehicle specific ISOFIX child restraint system(s) recom-
mended for each position.
IUF = Suitable for ISOFIX forward
child restraint systems of “universal”
category approved for use in the mass
group.IL = Suitable for particular ISOFIX
child restraint systems (CRS) given in
the attachment list. These ISOFIX
CRS are those of the “specific ve-
hicle”, “restricted” or “semi-
universal” categories.
55

X = ISOFIX position not suitable for
ISOFIX child restraint systems in this
mass group and/or this size class.
* = Both LH & RH 2nd row seats must
be in used position. (Seats can not be
folded into floor)
** = Inboard buckle for Left side seat-
ing position must be behind all ISO-
FIX Child Restraints.
Infants And Small Children
Safety experts recommend that chil-
dren ride rearward-facing in the ve-
hicle until they are two years old or
until they reach either the height or
weight limit of their rear facing child
safety seat. Two types of child re-
straints can be used rearward-facing:
infant carriers and convertible child
seats.
The infant carrier is only used
rearward-facing in the vehicle. It is
recommended for children from birth
until they reach the weight or height
limit of the infant carrier. Convertible
child seats can be used either
rearward-facing or forward-facing in
the vehicle. Convertible child seats of-
ten have a higher weight limit in therearward-facing direction than infant
carriers do, so they can be used
rearward-facing by children who
have outgrown their infant carrier but
are still less than at least two years
old. Children should remain
rearward-facing until they reach the
highest weight or height allowed by
their convertible child seat. Both
types of child restraints are held in the
vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the
ISOFIX child restraint anchor system.
Refer to “ISOFIX — Child Seat An-
chorage System”.
WARNING!
 Rearward-facing child seats must
never be used in the front seat of a
vehicle with a front passenger air
bag. An air bag deployment could
cause severe injury or death to
infants in this position.
Older Children And Child
Restraints
Children who are two years old or who
have outgrown their rear-facing con-
vertible child seat can ride forward-
facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing
child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing direction
are for children who are over two
years old or who have outgrown the
rear-facing weight or height limit of
their rear-facing convertible child
seat. Children should remain in a
forward-facing child seat with a har-
ness for as long as possible, up to the
highest weight or height allowed by
the child seat. These child seats are
also held in the vehicle by the lap/
shoulder belt or the ISOFIX child re-
straint anchorage system. Refer to
“ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage
System”.
All children whose weight or height is
above the forward-facing limit for the
child seat should use a belt-
positioning booster seat until the ve-
hicle’s seat belts fit properly. If the
child cannot sit with knees bent over
the vehicle's seat cushion while the
child's back is against the seatback,
they should use a belt-positioning
booster seat. The child and belt-
positioning booster seat are held in
the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt.
56

Children Too Large For Booster
Seats
Children who are large enough to
wear the shoulder belt comfortably,
and whose legs are long enough to
bend over the front of the seat when
their back is against the seatback,
should use the lap/shoulder belt in a
rear seat.
 Make sure that the child is uprightin the seat.
 The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as possible.
 Check belt fit periodically. A child's squirming or slouching can move
the belt out of position.
 If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer
to the center of the vehicle. If this
doesn't help, move the child to the
center rear seating position and use
both the lap and shoulder belt.
Never allow a child to put the
shoulder belt under an arm or be-
hind their back.
WARNING!
 Improper installation can lead tofailure of an infant or child re-
straint. It could come loose in a
collision. The child could be badly
injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer's directions exactly
when installing an infant or child
restraint.
 A rearward-facing child restraint
should only be used in a rear seat.
A rearward-facing child restraint
in the front seat may be struck by
a deploying passenger air bag
which may cause severe or fatal
injury to the infant.
Here are some tips on getting the
most out of your child restraint:
 Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certi-
fying that it meets all applicable
Safety Standards. LANCIA also
recommends that you make sure
that you can install the child re-
straint in the vehicle where you will
use it, before you buy it.  The restraint must be appropriate
for your child's weight and height.
Check the label on the restraint for
weight and height limits.
 Carefully follow the instructions that come with the restraint. If you
install the restraint improperly, it
may not work when you need it.
 Passenger seat belts are equipped with an Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) designed to keep the lap
portion tight around the child re-
straint so that it is not necessary to
use a locking clip. In seating posi-
tions that are equipped with an
ALR retractor, it will make a ratch-
eting noise after all the webbing is
extracted and allowed to return
back. For additional information,
refer to “Automatic Locking
Mode”.
 In the rear seat, you may have trouble tightening the lap/shoulder
belt on the child restraint because
the buckle or latch plate is too close
to the belt path opening on the re-
straint. Disconnect the latch plate
from the buckle and twist the short
57

buckle end of the belt several times
to shorten it. Insert the latch plate
into the buckle with the release but-
ton facing out.
 If the belt still can't be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on the re-
straint loosens the belt, disconnect
the latch plate from the buckle,
turn the buckle around, and insert
the latch plate into the buckle
again. If you still can't make the
child restraint secure, try a differ-
ent seating position.
 Buckle the child into the seat ac- cording to the child restraint manu-
facturer's directions.WARNING!
When your child restraint is not in
use, secure it in the vehicle with the
seat belt or remove it from the ve-
hicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or accident,
it could strike the occupants or seat-
backs and cause serious personal in-
jury. ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage
System
Each vehicle, except com-
mercial cargo vehicles, is
equipped with the child re-
straint anchorage system
called ISOFIX. Two ISOFIX child re-
straint anchorage systems are in-
stalled on all second-row seats and in
the center position on all third row
fold-in-floor seats. Second-row seats
also feature tether strap anchorages,
located in the rear surface of the seat-
back. In addition, all third row fold-
in-floor seats are equipped with a
child restraint tether anchor at the
center seating position.
NOTE:
 When using the ISOFIX attach- ing system to install a child re-
straint, please ensure that all
seat belts not being used for oc-
cupant restraints are stowed and
out of reach of children. It is
recommended that before in-
stalling the child restraint,
buckle the seat belt so the seat
belt is tucked behind 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 vehicle that the
seat belts are not toys and
should not be played with, and
never leave your child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
 If your child restraint seat is not ISOFIX-compatible, install the
restraint using the vehicle seat
belts.
Installing the Lower Attachments:
1. The vehicle lower anchorages are
round bars located at the rear of the
seat cushion where it meets the seat-
back.
2. Loosen the adjusters on the lower
child restraint attachment straps (ref-
erence the child restraint seat instruc-
tions) to ease the installation.58

NOTE:
It is recommended to loosen the
top tether strap and route it loosely
prior to securing the lower an-
chors so the top tether strap is not
trapped between the vehicle seat
and child restraint.
3. Attach the lower child restraint at-
tachment straps to the vehicle’s lower
anchor bars. Ensure that the lower
attachment strap is firmly engaged
and that the hook is secure.
4. Tighten the lower attachment
strap while firmly pushing the child
restraint rearward and downward
into the vehicle seat. Remove all slack
in the lower attachment straps. Refer-
ence the child restraint instructions
for information on properly removing
slack.Installing the Top Tether Strap
(with either Lower Anchors or
Vehicle Seat Belt):
1. Route the top tether strap under
the adjustable head restraint between
the steel posts.
2. Provide enough slack (reference
child restraint instructions) for the
tether strap to reach the tether anchor
located near the bottom of the seat
back.
3. Clip tether hook to tether anchor.
Ensure that the hook is firmly en-
gaged and secure.
4. Remove all slack and tighten
tether strap according to child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions.

59

NOTE:
The top tether strap is always to be
secured, regardless of if the child
restraint is installed with the lower
anchors or the vehicle seat belt.
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 secure a
child restraint top tether strap.
NOTE:
If your child restraint seat is not
ISOFIX-compatible, install the re-
straint using the vehicle seat belts.
Because the lower anchorages are to
be introduced to passenger carrying
vehicles over a period of years, child
restraint systems having attachments
for those anchorages will continue to
have features for installation in ve-
hicles using the lap or lap/shoulder
belt. They will also have tether straps,
and you are urged to take advantage
of all of the available attachments
provided with your child restraint in
any vehicle.
NOTE:
When using the ISOFIX attaching
system to install a child restraint,
please ensure that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints
are stowed and out of reach of chil-
dren. It is recommended that be-
fore installing the child restraint,
buckle the seat belt so the seat belt
is tucked behind the child re-
straint and out of reach. If the
buckled seat belt interferes with
the child restraint installation, in-
stead of tucking the seat belt be-
hind the child restraint, route the
seat belt through the child re-
straint 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
vehicle that the seat belts are not
toys and should not be played
with, and never leave your child
unattended in the vehicle.
Installing The Child Restraint
Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with an Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) to se-
cure 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
Rear Seat Tether Strap Mounting

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
retract into the retractor. For addi-
tional information on ALR, refer to
“Automatic Locking Mode”. The
chart below defines the seating posi-
tions with an Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) or a cinching latch
plate.

 ALR — Automatic Locking Retrac- tor
Installing a Child Restraint with an
ALR:
1. To install a child restraint with
ALR, first, pull enough of the seat belt
webbing from the retractor to route it
through the belt path of the child re- straint. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.” Next,
extract all the seat belt webbing out of
the retractor and then allow the belt to
retract into the retractor. As the belt
retracts, you will hear a ratcheting
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking mode.
2. Finally, pull on any excess web-
bing to tighten the lap portion around
the child restraint. Any seat belt sys-
tem will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
Installing a Child Restraint with a
Cinching Latch Plate:
1. To install a child restraint with a
cinching latch plate, first, pull enough
of the seat belt webbing from the re-
tractor to route it through the belt
path of the child restraint. Slide the
latch plate into the buckle until you
hear a “click.”
2. Finally, pull on any excess web-
bing to tighten the lap portion around
the child restraint. Any seat belt sys-
tem will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary. In the rear seat, you may have
trouble tightening the lap/shoulder
belt on the child restraint because
the buckle or latch plate is too close
to the belt path opening on the re-
straint. Disconnect the latch plate
from the buckle and twist the short
buckle-end belt several times to
shorten it. Insert the latch plate into
the buckle with the release button
facing out.
 If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on the re-
straint loosens the belt, disconnect
the latch plate from the buckle,
turn the buckle around, and insert
the latch plate into the buckle
again. If you still can’t make the
child restraint secure, try a differ-
ent seating position.
To attach a child restraint tether
strap:
 Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap
between the anchor and the child
seat, preferably between the head
restraint posts underneath the head
restraint.

Installing The Child Restraint
System
We urge you to carefully follow the
directions of the manufacturer when
installing your child restraint. Many,
but not all, restraint systems will be
equipped with separate straps on each
side, with each having a hook or con-
nector, and a means for adjusting the
tension in the strap. Forward-facing
toddler restraints and some rearward-
facing infant restraints will also be
equipped with a tether strap, a hook
and means for adjusting the tension in
the strap. Not all child restraint sys-
tems will be installed as described
here. Again, carefully follow the in-
stallation instructions that are pro-
vided with the child restraint system.
In general, you will first loosen the
child seat adjusters on the lower
straps and tether straps so that you
can more easily attach the hook or
connector to the lower anchorages
and tether anchorages. Then tighten
all three straps as you push the child
restraint rearward and downward
into the seat.Not all child restraint systems will be
installed as we have described here.
Again, carefully follow the instruc-
tions that come with the child re-
straint system.
WARNING!
Improper installation of a child re-
straint 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.
Transporting Pets
Air Bags deploying in the front seat
could harm your pet. An unrestrained
pet could be thrown about and possi-
bly injured, or injure a passenger dur-
ing panic braking or in a collision.
Pets should be restrained in the rear
seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers
that are secured by seat belts. ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required
for the engine and drivetrain (trans-
mission and axle) in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first
500 km. After the initial 100 km,
speeds up to 80 or 90 km/h are desir-
able.
While cruising, brief full-throttle ac-
celeration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle accel-
eration in low gear can be detrimental
and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine
at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil
changes should be consistent with an-
ticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and
quality grades, refer to “Maintenance
Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle”. NON-DETERGENT OR
STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST
NEVER BE USED.
62

A new engine may consume some oil
during its first few thousand kilome-
ters of operation. This should be con-
sidered a normal part of the break-in
and not interpreted as an indication of
difficulty.
Additional Requirements
For Diesel Engine (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
During the first 1500 km avoid heavy
loads, e.g. driving at full throttle. Do
not exceed 2/3 of the maximum per-
missible engine speed for each gear.
Change gear in good time. Do not shift
down a gear manually in order to
brake.
SAFETY TIPS
Transporting Passengers
NEVER TRANSPORT PASSEN-
GERS IN THE CARGO AREA.
WARNING!
 Do not leave children or animalsinside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.
 It is extremely dangerous to ride in
a cargo area, inside or outside of a
vehicle. In a collision, people rid-
ing in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
 Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts.
 Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
Exhaust GasWARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless and odor-
less. Breathing it can make you un-
conscious and can eventually poison
you. To avoid breathing (CO), fol-
low these safety tips: (Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
 If you are required to drive with
the trunk/liftgate open, make sure
that all windows are closed and
the climate control BLOWER
switch is set at high speed. DO
NOT use the recirculation mode.
 If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent
63

body areas for broken, damaged, de-
teriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system
each time the vehicle is raised for lu-
brication or oil change. Replace as
required.
Safety Checks You Should
Make Inside The Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be re-
placed immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard-
ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on and remain
on for four to eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition switch is first
turned ON. If the light is not lit during
starting, see your authorized dealer. If
the light stays on, flickers, or comes
on while driving, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se-
cured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your ve-
hicle in other ways.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and in-
crease the risk of serious personal
injury.
 Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the floor
mat fasteners.
 Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle
that cannot be properly secured to
prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals or the
ability to control the vehicle.
 Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already in-
stalled floor mats. Additional
floor mats and other coverings
will reduce the size of the pedal
area and interfere with the pedals.
 Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly re-
install and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
