FRONT SEATS
Lengthwise adjustment
Lift the lever A fig. 18 and push the seat forwards
or backwards: in driving position your arms
should rest on the rim of the steering wheel.
WARNING
Once you have released the
adjustment lever,

the seat is locked on the guides by trying to
move it back and forth. If the seat is not
locked into place, it may unexpectedly slide

Downwards adjustment:press button A fig. 22
and lower the head restraint.
"Anti-Whiplash" Device
The head restraints are equipped with an
“Anti-Whiplash” device, which reduces the
distance between head and head restraint in the
event of a rear impact, thus mitigating the
"whiplash" effect.
The head restraint may move when the backrest is
pressed by the occupant's torso or hand: this
behaviour is caused by the system and should not
be considered a malfunction.
WARNING
All adjustments must be made with
the car stationary
. Head restraints
must be adjusted so that the head, rather
than the neck, rests on them. Only when they
are adjusted in this manner can they serve
their intended purpose.
WARNING
To make the best use of the head
restraint's protective action,
adjust
the backrest so that you are sitting upright
and keep your head as close as possible
to the head restraint.
REAR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Two height-adjustable head restraints are
provided for the rear seats. On some versions a
head restraint is also provided for the central seat.
Upwards adjustment:raise the head restraint
until it clicks into place.

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELYFor optimal protection in the event of a collision,
all passengers must be seated and wearing
adequate restraint systems.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
This is even more important for children.
Compared with adults, a child's head is
proportionally larger and heavier than the rest of
the body, while muscles and bone structure are not
fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems are necessary
which are different from adult seat belts.
The results of research on the best child restraint
systems are contained in the European Standard
ECE-R44, which enforces the use of restraint
systems classified into five groups:Group Weight groups
Group 0 up to 10 kg in weight
Group 0+ up to 13 kg in weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg of weight
All restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child seat which must never be
removed. When over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and have to wear the
standard seat belts. Lineaccessori Lancia includes
child seats for each weight group. These devices
are recommended having been specifically
designed for Lancia cars.
WARNING
Do not arrange cradle child seats
facing backwards if
the front air bag
on the passenger's side is enabled.
Deployment of the air bag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby
regardless of the severity of the collision. It
is advisable to always carry children in a
child seat on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a collision.

GROUP 3
For children from 22 kg up to 36 kg suitable
risers are available to position the seat belt
correctly.
Thefig. 100 shows an example of correct child seat
positioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts
like adults.
WARNING
The figures are only examples for
fitting
purposes. Install the car seat
according to the instructions, which are
mandatorily included with this type of
restraint system.
