CLOSING
Proceed as follows:
❒keep the bonnet raised with one hand and
remove rod C fig. 67 from housing D with the
other, inverting the opening motion, then fit
it back into its catch;
❒lower the bonnet to approximately 20
centimetres from the engine compartment and
let it drop. Make sure that the bonnet is
completely closed and not only fastened by the
safety catch by trying to open it. If it is not
perfectly closed, do not try to press the bonnet
lid down but open it and repeat the procedure.
IMPORTANT Always check that the bonnet is
closed correctly to avoid it opening while the car is
travelling.
WARNING
Perform these operations only when
the car is stationary.
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
The attachments A fig. 68are located in the areas
illustrated in the figure and can only be accessed
with the doors open. The Lineaccessori Lancia
includes a dedicated roof rack/ski rack for this
car.
WARNING
After travelling for a short distance,
check that the fixing screws for the
attachments are correctly tightened.

RADIO SETUP SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If no car radio was requested at the time of
purchase, the car is provided with a compartment
on the dashboard fig. 76.
The radio setup system is composed of:
❒car radio power supply cables, front and rear
speakers and an aerial;
❒radio housing;
❒aerial (on car roof).The car radio must be fitted in the special
compartment A fig. 76, which can be accessed by
pressing the two retaining tabs B in the
compartment itself; power supply cables are
located in this area.

AIRBAG
The car is fitted with front airbags for driver and
passenger, front side bags for driver and passenger
chest-shoulder protection (for versions/markets,
where provided), and window bags for protecting
the heads of front occupants.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front (driver and passenger) airbags protect
the front seat occupants in the event of head-on
impacts of medium-high severity, by placing
the bag between the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-deployment in other types of
impacts (side impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.)
does not indicate a system malfunction.
Front (driver and passenger) air bags are not a
replacement of but complementary to the seat
belts, which you are recommended to always wear,
as specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat
belt move forward and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in these
circumstances.Front airbags may not activate in the following
situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformable
objects not involving the front surface of the car
(e.g. wing collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒car wedging under other vehicles or protective
barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they may not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their deployment
would be inappropriate. In these cases, non-
deployment does not indicate a system
malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the
dashboard in the passenger side airbag area,
on side upholstery on roof and on the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger side of the dashboard since they
could interfere with correct inflation of
the passenger airbag and also cause serious
injury to the passengers.

Window bag
This consists of two "curtain" bags housed behind
the side upholstery of the roof fig. 111 and
covered with finishing elements, which protect the
heads of front occupants in the event of a side
impact thanks to a wide bag deployment area.
The deployment of side bags in the event of side
impacts of low severity is not required.
In the event of a side impact, the system provides
best protection if the passenger sits on the seat
in a correct position, thus allowing correct window
bag deployment.
IMPORTANT Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.IMPORTANT Do not rest your head, arms or
elbows on the door, windows or the area in which
the window bag is located to avoid possible injury
during airbag inflation.
IMPORTANT Never lean your head, arms or
elbows out of the window.

Electrical devices
Only use electrical devices for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need
a considerable amount of energy, therefore
increasing fuel consumption (by up to 25% in the
urban cycle).
Climate control system
The use of the climate control system leads to
higher fuel consumption. If the temperature
outside permits, try to use ventilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a
standstill or at idle or high speed: under these
conditions the engine warms up much more
slowly, increasing consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to move off immediately,
slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way
the engine will warm up more quickly.

SAVING FUEL
Here are some suggestions which can help you to
save fuel and lower harmful emissions.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once every 4
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the car and its arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they intervene
(blow) in the event of a fault or improper
intervention on the system.
When a device does not work, check the condition
of its protective fuse: the conductor element A
fig. 151 must be intact. If it is not, replace the
blown fuse with another with the same amperage
(same colour).
B = intact fuse;
C = fuse with damaged filament.
To replace a fuse, use the tweeters D hooked to the
fuse box lid on the left-hand side of the
dashboard.
Refer to the tables on the following pages to
identify the protective fuse.
