You are recommended to read this chapter sit-
ting comfortably in your new Lancia Y. In this
way you will be able to identify the parts de-
scribed immediate and see for yourself what you
have just read.
In short, you will increase your knowledge of your
Lancia Y with its controls and other devices. Later,
when you start the engine and join the traffic you
will make a host of other pleasant discoveries.

THE LANCIA
CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from at-
tempted theft, it has been fitted with
an electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem called “Lancia CODE”, which is
currently considered the most effec-
tive way of protecting your car against
theft.This system is automatically
activated each time the engine is
switched off. Each ignition key, in
fact, contains an electronic device
which modulates a radio-frequency
signal emitted by a special aerial dur-
ing ignition. The modulated signal is
a “password” with which the control
unit recognises the key. Engine igni-
tion is enabled only if the key is recog-
nised by the system.THE KEYS
Three types of key (fig. 1) are sup-
plied with the car.
The car is always supplied with a
singleAkey and BorCkeys depend-
ing on the version:
– version without remote control,
twoBkeys;
– versions with door lock/unlock re-
mote control, one Bkey and one Ckey;
KeyA, with a burgundy grip, is the
“master” key. Only one of these keys
is provided, and it is used to store the
codes of new keys replacing ones that
have been lost or damaged, or when
storing duplicate key codes. Given its
importance, it should be kept in a safe
place (not in the car) and only be
used when absolutely necessary.
No repairs can be carried out on
the Lancia CODE system or the en-
gine control unit if this key is lost.KeyB, with a black grip, is the key
that is to be used normally. It will:
– start the engine
– unlock/lock the doors
– unlock/lock the boot
– unlock/lock the fuel tank cap.
– deactivate the passenger airbag.
KeyC, (which may be supplied as
an alternative to the Bkey), has the
same functions as key B, plus the re-
mote control function for the door
lock/unlock system.
The key is supplied together with the
CODE card (fig. 2) which bears:
D- the electronic code to be used for
emergency starting (see “In an emer-
gency”);

The webbing must not be
twisted. The upper section
must pass across the
shoulder and chest diagonally. The
lower part must fit closely across
the passengers’ hips and not the
abdomen, to prevent them sliding
forward (fig. 20). Do not use clips,
fasteners, etc. to prevent the belt
adhering to the passenger’s body.
Make sure all seat belts
(both front and back) are
fastened at all times! You
increase the risk of serious injury
or death in a collision if you travel
with the belts unfastened even if
your car is fitted with the airbag
system.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE USE OF THE SEAT
BELTS
The driver is responsible for re-
specting and making sure the passen-
gers respect the local rules on the use
of seat belts. USING THE REAR CENTRAL
SEAT BELT(fig. 19)
To fasten the seat belt: push the
tongue of fastener Ainto slot Bof the
buckle until you hear it click.
To unfasten the seat belt: press
buttonC.
To adjust the seat belt: slide the
webbing through adjuster D, pulling
endEto shorten it and length Fto
lengthen it.
IMPORTANTThe belt is adjusted
properly when it fits closely across the
hips.

Never travel with a child
sitting on a passenger’s lap
with a single seat belt to
protect them both (fig. 21).

P4C00173
Seat belts must also be worn by ex-
pectant mothers: the risk of injury in
the case of accident is much greater
for them, too, if they do not have a
seat belt on.
Of course, expectant mothers must
position the lower part of the belt very
low down so that it passes under the
stomach,(fig. 22). If the belt has undergone
serious strain, for example
following an accident, re-
place the belt with its anchorages,
the anchorage screws and the pre-
tensioner. Even if there is no visi-
ble damage, the resistance proper-
ties may have deteriorated.

HOW TO MAINTAIN
THE SEAT BELTS
IN GOOD WORKING ORDER
1)When wearing the seat belts, al-
ways ensure they are not twisted but
lie flat across the chest and hips and
ensure that they run easily and freely.
2)Following a serious accident, re-
place the belt being worn at the time,
even if it does not seem damaged.
3)When cleaning the belts, wash
them by hand with water and neutral
soap, rinse them and let them dry in
the shade. Do not use strong deter-
gents, bleach, colouring or any other
chemical substance that could weaken
the fibres.
4)Do not allow the reels to get wet:
they are only guaranteed to work
properly if they remain dry. SEVERE DANGER:
if the car has a pas-
senger airbag, do
not place the child seat on the
front seat.

We recommend sitting
children on the rear seat.
This is the most protected
position in the event of a crash.
Never fit child restraint systems in
the front passenger seat in vehicles
with a passenger airbag. The in-
flated airbag could cause even fa-
tal injury, regardless of the sever-
ity of the crash which triggered it
off.
Children can sit in the front pas-
senger seat in cars with passenger
side airbag only if the system has
been deactivated. In this case, al-
ways make sure that the amber in-
strument panel warning light is on
to confirm that the airbag has been
deactivated.GROUP 0
Babies up to 10 kg are to be seated
in a cot type seat facing backwards
and supporting the child’s head. This
ensures there is no stress on the child’s
neck in sudden deceleration
The cot is secured with the seat belts
as shown in (fig. 24). The child must
be strapped to the carrier.GROUP 1
Children from 9 kg are to be seated
facing forward in child seats with
front cushions, (fig. 25). The vehicle
seat belt secures both seat and child.
The figure is only an ex-
ample for the installation.
Follow the instructions
provided with the restraint system
you are using.

Follow the instructions

There are child restraints
for Groups 0 and 1 which
are fastened with the vehi-
cle seat belts by means of an at-
tachment on the seat back. The
child is then secured to the seat
with specific straps. Due to their
weight, child seats can be danger-
ous if they are not fitted correctly
(e.g. by placing a cushion between
the seat and the belts). Always fol-
low carefully the installation in-
structions provided with the child
restraint system you are using.

GROUP 2
Children from 15 kg can be secured
directly with the vehicle seat belts.
The child seat has the purpose of po-
sitioning the child correctly with re-
spect to the seat belt so that the diag-
onal section crosses the child’s chest
(never the child’s throat) and the hor-
izontal section fits snugly on the
child’s hips (and not on the child’s
abdomen)(fig. 26).GROUP 3
Children from 22 kg up only require
a cushion to lift them (fig. 27). The
size of the child’s chest no longer re-
quires a support to space the child’s
back from the seat back.
Children taller than 1.5 m can wear
seat belts like adults.
To sum up the safety precautions
to follow when transporting chil-
dren:
1)Child restraint systems should be
installed on the rear seat as this is the
most protected area in the car in the
event of a crash.
2)Children must neverbe seated in
the front passenger seat in cars with
passenger seat airbag.3)Always check that the amber in-
strument panel warning light comes
on after deactivating the passenger
front airbag (in model/versions where
fitted).
4)Follow the instructions for fas-
tening the specific child restraint sys-
tem you are using. These must be
provided by the manufacturer. Keep
the child restraint system installation
instructions with the vehicle docu-
ments and this handbook. Never use
a second-hand child restraint system
without installation instructions.
5)Always check the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling the webbing.
6)The child restraint system is de-
signed for one child only. Never carry
two children in one restraint system.
7)Always check the seat belts do not
fit around the child’s neck.
8)While travelling do not let the
child sit incorrectly or release the belts.
9)Passengers should never carry
children on their laps. No-one, how-
ever strong they may be, can hold a
child in the event of a crash.
10)Replace the child restraint sys-
tem after an accident. The figure is only an ex-
ample for the installation.
Follow the instructions
provided with the restraint system
you are using.
