INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting your
new LANCIA vehicle. Be assured that
it represents precision workmanship,
distinctive styling, and high quality -
all essentials that are traditional to
our vehicles.
Before you start to drive this vehicle,
read this Owner's Manual and all the
supplements. Be sure you are familiar
with all vehicle controls, particularly
those used for braking, steering, and
transmission shifting. Learn how your
vehicle handles on different road sur-
faces. Your driving skills will improve
with experience, but as in driving any
vehicle, take it easy as you begin. Al-
ways observe local laws wherever you
drive.
NOTE:
After reviewing the owner infor-
mation, it should be stored in the
vehicle for convenient referencing
and remain with the vehicle when
sold.Failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly may result in loss of control or a
collision.
Operating this vehicle at excessive
speeds or while intoxicated may result
in loss of control, collision with other
vehicles or objects, going off the road,
or overturning; any of which may lead
to serious injury or death. Also, failure
to use seat belts subjects the driver
and passengers to a greater risk of
injury or death.
To keep your vehicle running at its
best, have your vehicle serviced at
recommended intervals by an autho-
rized dealer who has the qualified per-
sonnel, special tools, and equipment
to perform all service.
The manufacturer and its distributors
are vitally interested in your complete
satisfaction with this vehicle. If you
encounter a service or warranty prob-
lem, which is not resolved to your
satisfaction, discuss the matter with
your dealer's management.
Your authorized dealer will be happy
to assist you with any questions about
your vehicle.

WARNING!(Continued)
Do not attempt to modify any part
of your air bag system. The air
bag may inflate accidentally or
may not function properly if
modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any air bag system ser-
vice. If your seat including your
trim cover and cushion needs to
be serviced in any way (including
removal or loosening/tightening
of seat attachment bolts), take the
vehicle to your authorized dealer.
Only manufacturer approved seat
accessories may be used. If it is
necessary to modify the air bag
system for persons with disabili-
ties, contact your authorized
dealer.
Air Bag Warning Light You will want to have the
air bags ready to inflate for
your protection in a colli-
sion. The Air Bag Warning
Light monitors the internal circuits
and interconnecting wiring associated
with air bag system electrical compo- nents. While the air bag system is
designed to be maintenance free, if
any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
The Air Bag Warning Light does
not come on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is
first turned to the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the four to eight-second
interval.
The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or remains on
while driving.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or
any engine related gauges are not
working, the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) may also be dis-
abled. The air bags may not be
ready to inflate for your protec-
tion. Promptly check the fuse
block for blown fuses. Refer to the
label located on the inside of the
fuse block cover for the proper air bag fuses. See your authorized
dealer if the fuse is good.
EVENT DATA RECORDER
(EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a vehi-
cle’s systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to ve-
hicle dynamics and safety systems for
a short period of time, typically
30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data
as:
How various systems in your ve-
hicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and pas- senger safety belts were buckled/
fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.52

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.

forward again.
PINCH PROTECT FEATURE
This feature will detect an obstruction
in the opening of the sunroof during
Express Close operation. If an ob-
struction is detected, the sunroof will
automatically retract. Remove the ob-
struction if this occurs. Next, press the
switch forward and release to Express
Close.
NOTE:
If three consecutive sunroof close
attempts result in Pinch Protect
reversals, the fourth close attempt
will be a Manual Close movement
with Pinch Protect disabled.
PINCH PROTECT
OVERRIDE
If a known obstruction (ice, debris,
etc.) prevents closing the sunroof,
press the switch forward and hold for
two seconds after the reversal occurs.
This allows the sunroof to move to-
ward the closed position.NOTE:
Pinch protection is disabled while
the switch is pressed.
VENTING SUNROOF —
EXPRESS
Press and release the “Vent” button,
and the sunroof will open to the vent
position. This is called “Express
Vent”, and will occur regardless of
sunroof position. During Express Vent
operation, any movement of the
switch will stop the sunroof.
SUNSHADE OPERATION
The sunshade can be opened manu-
ally. However, the sunshade will open
automatically as the sunroof opens.
NOTE:
The sunshade cannot be closed if
the sunroof is open.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as
the perception of pressure on the ears
or a helicopter-type sound in the ears.
Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffet-
ing with the windows down, or the
sunroof (for versionis/markets, where
provided) is in certain open or par-tially open positions. This is a normal
occurrence and can be minimized. If
the buffeting occurs with the rear
windows open, open the front and
rear windows together to minimize
the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs
with the sunroof open, adjust the sun-
roof opening to minimize the buffet-
ing or open any window.
SUNROOF MAINTENANCE
Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a
soft cloth to clean the glass panel.
IGNITION OFF OPERATION
For vehicles not equipped with the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC), the power sunroof switch will
remain active for 45 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned to the LOCK
position. Opening either front door
will cancel this feature.
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with the
EVIC, the power sunroof switch
will remain active for up to ap-
proximately ten minutes after the
ignition switch is turned to the
LOCK position. Opening either
front door will cancel this feature.

CD/DVD DISC
MAINTENANCE
To keep a CD/DVD in good condition,
take the following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid
touching the surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the sur-
face with a soft cloth, wiping from
center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the
disc; avoid scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as ben-
zene, thinner, cleaners, or anti-static
sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after play-
ing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct
sunlight.7. Do not store the disc where tem-
peratures may become too high.
NOTE:
If you experience difficulty in
playing a particular disc, it may be
damaged (i.e., scratched, reflective
coating removed, a hair, moisture
or dew on the disc) oversized, or
have protection encoding. Try a
known good disc before consider-
ing disc player service.
RADIO OPERATION AND
MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile
phone being on in your vehicle can
cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may
be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This
condition is not harmful to the radio.
If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the reposi-
tioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.

Floor ModeAir comes from the floor outlets.
SUMMER OPERATION
The engine cooling system in air con-
ditioned vehicles must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant
to provide proper corrosion protection
and to protect against engine over-
heating. A solution of 50% ethylene
glycol antifreeze coolant and 50%
water is recommended. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for proper cool-
ant selection.
WINTER OPERATION
To ensure the best possible heater and
defroster performance, make sure the
engine cooling system is functioning
properly and the proper amount,
type, and concentration of coolant is
used. Refer to “Maintenance Proce-
dures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”
for proper coolant selection. Use of
the air Recirculation mode during
Winter months is not recommended,
because it may cause window fogging. VACATION/STORAGE
Before you store your vehicle, or keep
it out of service (i.e., vacation) for two
weeks or more, run the air condition-
ing system at idle for about five min-
utes, in fresh air with the blower set-
ting on high. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to mini-
mize the possibility of compressor
damage when the system is started
again.
WINDOW FOGGING
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the
inside in mild, rainy and/or humid
weather. To clear the windows, select
Defrost or Mix mode and increase the
front blower speed. Do not use the
Recirculation mode without A/C for
long periods, as fogging may occur.
OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE
Make sure the air intake, located di-
rectly in front of the windshield, is
free of obstructions such as leaves.
Leaves collected in the air intake may
reduce airflow, and if they enter the
plenum they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months make sure
the air intake is clear of ice, slush and
snow.
OPERATING TIPS
A/C AIR FILTER
On vehicles equipped with Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC), the cli-
mate control system filters out dust
and pollen from the air. Refer to “Air
Conditioning” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for filter replacement in-
structions.220
