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.

The figure is only an ex-

ample for the installation.
Follow the instructions

provided with the restraint system
you are using.

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 never be 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.

COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE (fig. 34)

If warning lamp A lights up, it

means that the engine coolant is too
hot.

Under normal conditions, the needle

of the temperature gauge should be-
tween 1/4 and 3/4 of the scale. If it
approaches the red section it means
the engine is being overtaxed and you
should reduce your demands on it.

IMPORTANT The gauge will point

to low temperature and the excessive
temperature warning light A will
come on to indicate a fault in the sys-
tem. Contact a LANCIA Dealership
to have the system checked.

CLOCK

Press control A (fig. 36) to adjust the

hour.

Press control B to adjust the minutes.

Each time one of the control buttons

is pressed, the hours (A) or the min-
utes (B) will move forwards one unit.

Even travelling too slowly when the

outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case it is better to stop
and turn off the engine. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.

FUEL GAUGE (fig. 35)

If reserve warning light B comes on

it means there are between 5 and 8
litres of fuel left in the tank.

Do not drive when the tank is nearly

empty: possible changes in fuel deliv-
ery could damage the catalyser.

If the situation persists

even after the measures
you have taken, turn off

the engine and have the car seen to
at a LANCIA Dealership.

REV COUNTER (fig. 39)

If the needle is in the red zone it

shows your car’s engine is over-
revving. This is only acceptable for a
few moments.

IMPORTANT The electronic injec-

tion control system progressively
blocks the flow of fuel when the
pointer goes into the red zone leading
to a progressive loss of engine power.

WARNING LIGHTS 

The warning lights will come on in

the following cases:

LOW ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE (red)
When the pressure of the

engine oil falls below the normal level.

When the key is turned to MAR, the
light comes on but should go out the
moment the engine is started.

A delay in the light going out is only
acceptable if the engine is idling.

If the engine has been taxed heavily,
the light might flash when idling but
should go out on accelerating slightly.

v

BATTERY NOT
RECHARGED
PROPERLY (red) 

When there is a fault in the current
generating system. 

Contact a LANCIA Dealership as
soon as possible to prevent draining
the battery. 

The warning lamp will light up when
the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
should go out as soon as the engine
has started.

w

If the warning lamp 

v

lights up while the car is
moving, switch the engine

off and get in touch with a LANCIA
Dealership.

HANDBRAKE ON/
LOW BRAKE FLUID 
LEVEL (red) 

In three cases: 

1. When the handbrake is engaged.

2. When the brake fluid level falls be-
low the minimum.

3. With the 

> warning light to indi-

cate an EBD electronic brake force
corrector failure.

x

If the 

x warning light

comes on when travelling,
check whether the hand-

brake is engaged.  If the warning
light stays on and the handbrake
is not engaged, stop immediately
and contact a LANCIA Dealership. 

AIRBAG MALFUNCTION
(red)
When the system is ineffi-

cient.

û

The instrument panel

warning light should come
on when the ignition key is

turned to MAR and go out after ap-
proximately four seconds. Imme-
diately contact a LANCIA Dealer-
ship if the warning light either
does not come on or stays on when
travelling.

DOORS NOT CLOSED
PROPERLY (red)
When a door is not fully

closed.

LANCIA CODE 
(amber)
In three ways (with ignition

key at MAR):
1. A single flash - indicates that the
key code has been recognised. The en-
gine can be started.
2. A constant light - indicates that the
key code has not been recognised. To
start the engine, follow the emergency
startup procedure described in the “In
an emergency” section.
3. A flashing light - indicates that the
car is not protected by the immo-
biliser system. The engine can be
started however.

¢

ABS (ANTI-LOCKING
SYSTEM) FAILURE
(amber)

When the ABS system is inefficient.
The normal braking system continues
to work but you should have the car
seen to at a LANCIA Dealership as
soon as you can.

The warning lamp will light up when
you turn the key to MAR, but it
should go out as soon as the engine
starts.

>

The car is fitted with an

electronic brake distribu-
tor (EBD). If warning lights

> and x light up simultaneously
when the engine is running, this
indicates an EBD fault. This
means that violent braking could
cause early locking of the rear
wheels causing the car to skid.
Drive very carefully to the nearest
LANCIA Dealership to have the
system checked.

EOBD SELF-
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
(amber)

In normal conditions, the warning
light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR and should go
out as soon as the engine is started.
The initial lighting up shows that the
warning light is working properly.

If the warning light either stays on or
comes on while travelling:
1. Fixed light - warning of a fuel
feed/ignition system failure which

If only warning light

>

switches on when the en-
gine is running, this usu-

ally indicates an ABS fault. In such
cases the braking system is still ef-
ficient, although the anti-locking
device does not function. The EBD
system may also be less efficient.
Go to a LANCIA Dealership imme-
diately, taking care not to brake
suddenly, and have the system
checked.

HAZARD LIGHTS 
(red) (flashing) 
When the hazard lights are

switched on.

may increase emissions in exhaust or
cause possible drops in performance,
poor handling and high consumption.
In such conditions, you can continue
driving but you should not tax the en-
gine and you should moderate the
speed. Prolonged use with the warn-
ing light on can cause damage. Con-
tact a LANCIA Dealership as soon
as possible. 
The warning light will go out when
the failure disappears. In any case, the
system will store the error.

2. Flashing light - warning that the
catalyser can be damaged (see
“EOBD system” in this chapter).
If the warning light starts flashing, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and slow
the engine until the warning light
stops flashing. Continue driving at
moderate speed, preventing the warn-
ing light from coming on again. Con-
tact a LANCIA Dealership as soon
as possible.

PASSENGER AIRBAG
DEACTIVATED
(amber)

When the passenger airbag has been
deactivated by means of the specific
key switch.

The warning light should

come on for approximately
four seconds and flash for

other four seconds only when the
key is turned to MAR and the pas-
senger’s front airbag switch is
turned to ON. If the warning light
either does not come on or comes
on when travelling, stop immedi-
ately and contact a LANCIA Deal-
ership.

Contact a Lancia Dealer-

ship as soon as possible if
the 

warning light ei-

ther does not come on when the
key is turned to MAR or comes on,
with fixed or flashing light, when
travelling.

BRAKE LIGHTS
FAULTY (amber)
When one of the brake light

bulbs fails to work. A fault in the
third brake light is not indicated.

ticularly useful when the outside air
is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam,
tunnel, etc.). You are advised against
using this function for long periods,
however, especially if there are a lot
of people in the car or on cold and
raining days, since this considerably
increases the possibility of the win-
dows misting up and will reduce vis-
ibility effecting driving conditions.
