REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) no less than 95.

Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.

ENGINE START-UP

Make sure the handbrake is pulled up; put the gear lever into neutral; press the clutch pedal down to the floor
without touching the accelerator; then:

petrol engines: turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.

diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the instrument panel warning lights ¢ and m
to go out, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.

PARKING OVER INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL

When functioning normally, the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures. For this reason do not park
the car over inflammable material, grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.: fire hazard.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

A system for continuously monitoring emission system components to ensure greater environmental
protection is fitted in your car.

U

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a
Lancia Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car's electric
system can support the required load.

쇵

CODE card

Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. You should always keep the electronic code written on the
CODE card with you in case you need to carry out an emergency start-up procedure.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety
features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS …

… information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its
maintenance. Pay particular attention to the symbols " (personal safety) # (environmental protection) â
(the car’s wellbeing).

TRAVELLING SAFELY AND IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

Safety and respect for the environment are the guidelines that inspired the Lybra’s design from the
drawing board onwards.

This concept has meant that the Lybra has been able to face and pass the strictest safety tests. So
much so that, from this point of view, the car is the best in its class and has probably already incorpo­rated features that belong to the future.

In addition, ongoing research into new and effective features to help safeguard the environment
makes the Lybra and car to imitate for this reason as well.

All versions are in fact equipped with environmental protection devices that reduce harmful exhaust
fumes in compliance with the limits provided for by current legislation.

What is more, every single component of the Lybra is fully recyclable. At the end of your car’s life­span any LANCIA dealership would be please to make arrangements for your car to be recycled.
Nature benefits in two ways: there is no pollution for waste disposal and the demand for raw materi­als is reduced.

Nature benefits in two ways: there is no pollution for waste disposal and the demand for raw mate­rials is reduced.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

Safeguarding the environment has directed the design and manufacturing of the Lybra right from
the start. The result is the use of materials and the perfection of devices that can reduce or sweep­ingly reduce harmful influences on the environment.

The Lybra, equipped with environment safeguarding devices which curtail harmful exhaust gas
emissions, is ready to travel well ahead of the most stringent international pollution control stan­dards.

USE OF ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY MATERIALS

None of the car’s components contain asbestos. Padding and the climate control system do not
contain CFC (chlorofluorocarbides) - the gases considered responsible for the destruction of the
ozone layer. Other substances that might pollute air and water tables, such as the cadmium in the
rust-proof coating of the bolts and the chromates in some paints, have been completely replaced
with substances that do not harm the environment.

DEVICES FOR REDUCING PETROL ENGINE EMISSIONS

Three-way catalytic converter (catalytic exhaust pipe)

Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and unburned hydrocarbons are the main harmful components
in exhaust gasses.

The catalytic converter is a “miniature laboratory” where a very high percentage of these compo­nents are converted into harmless substances.

This conversion is aided by minute particles of precious metals on the ceramic core enclosed in a
stainless steel container.

Lambda sensor

All petrol versions are fitted with this device. It ensures that air and fuel are constantly mixed in
the correct proportion. This is a fundamental condition for proper engine and catalytic converter
operation.

Fuel evaporation canister

As it is impossible to stop the build up of petrol fumes, also when the engine is not running, the
system traps them in a special container holding active carbon. The fumes are sucked in from here
and burnt while the engine is running.

DEVICES FOR REDUCING DIESEL ENGINE EMISSIONS

Oxidising catalytic converter

This device converts the pollution substances in the exhaust gas (carbon monoxide, unburned
hydrocarbons and particulate) into harmless substances, thus reducing the smokiness and smell
associated with diesel engine exhaust fumes.

The catalytic converter consists of a stainless steel case containing a honeycomb ceramic core in
which there is precious metal which carries out the catalysing action.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (E.G.R. Cooled) system

This system recirculates or reuses part of the exhaust gas in a proportion which varies according to
engine operation conditions.

When necessary, it is used for the control of nitrogen oxide emissions.

THE SIGNS TO HELP YOU DRIVE CORRECTLY

The signs you see on this page are very important. They highlight those parts of the handbook
where, more than elsewhere, you should stop for a minute and read carefully.

As you can see, each sign has a different symbol to make it immediately clear and easy to identify
the subjects in the different areas:

Personal safety.

Important. Total or partial failure to
follow these instructions can place
driver, passengers or others in serious
danger.

Environmental protection.

This shows you the correct procedures
to follow to ensure that the car does
not harm the environment.

Car wellbeing.

Important. Total or partial failure to
follow these instructions will result in
the risk of serious damage to the car
and may invalidate the warranty as
well.

IGNITION SWITCH

The key can be turned to four posi-

tions (fig. 2).

STOP: engine off, key can be re­moved, steering column locked. Some
electrical devices can be worked (e.g.
sound system).

MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices can be worked.

AVV: engine ignition.

PARK: engine off, parking lights on,

key can be removed, steering column
locked. To turn the key to PARK,
press button A.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

To engage the lock: remove the ig-

nition key at STOP or PARK and
turn the steering wheel until it locks.

To release the lock: rock the steer­ing wheel slightly as you turn the ig­nition key to MAR.

fig. 2

P4T0005

If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to steal

your car), get a Lancia Dealership
to make sure it is still functioning
properly before you start driving
again.

Always remove the igni­tion key when you get out
of the car. This will pre-

vent anyone from accidentally
working the controls. Remember
to apply the handbrake and, if the
car is faced down on a steep slope
engage the first gear. If it is facing
up, engage the reverse gear.

Never remove the ignition
key while the car is mov­ing. The steering wheel

would automatically lock as soon
as you try to turn it. This also ap­plies when the car is being towed.

It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af­ter-market operation in-

volving steering system or steering
column modifications (e.g.: instal­lation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance
and safety, cause the lapse of war­ranty and also result in non-com­pliance of the car with homologa­tion requirements.

In order to ensure the
greatest efficiency of elec­tronic devices incorpo-

rated in the key, it is recom­mended that the latter should not
be exposed to direct sunlight
and/or heavy shocks.

THE LANCIA CODE
SYSTEM

To further protect your car from
theft, it has been fitted with an engine
immobilising system (Lancia CODE)
which is automatically activated when
the ignition key is removed. An elec­tronic device, in fact, is fitted in each
ignition key grip. The device trans­mits a radio-frequency signal when
the engine is started through a special
aerial built into the ignition switch.
The modulated signal is a password.
Only if the control unit recognises the
key can the engine be started.

KEYS

Together with the car are delivered:

– 2 keys A (fig. 3) with incorporated
remote control if the car is fitted with
an electronic alarm;

– 1 key with incorporate remote con­trol plus 1 mechanical type key if the
car is not fitted with an electronic
alarm.

The CODE card (fig. 4) is also sup­plied with the keys and bears the fol­lowing:

A - The electronic code, to be used
for emergency starting.

B - The mechanical key code to be
given to the Lancia Dealership
when ordering duplicate keys.

C and D - The spaces for electronic
alarm remote control stickers.

The code numbers written on the
CODE card must be kept in a safe
place (not in the car).

You should always have the elec­tronic code number written on the
CODE card with you at all times in
case you need to perform an emer­gency start-up.

All the keys and the CODE
card must be handed over
the new owner when selling

the car.

IMPORTANT Anomalous glass op-

eration (glasses sliding up or down
jerkily) may indicate a loss of cali­bration of the anti-crushing safety de­vice. In this case, the system should
be reinitialised as described in chap­ter “Electric window winders” in the
Owner Handbook, to which this Sup­plement is attached to.

The metal insert A (fig. 6) of the key

operates:

– the ignition switch;

– the steering column lock disen-

gagement;

– the driver’s door lock;

– the boot lock;

– button D, to operate the central
door locking system, boot/tailgate
locking, to switch the electronic alarm
on (where fitted) and to lock the fuel
filler cap;

– button E, to open the boot/tailgate
when the alarm is on;

– led F, which indicates the remote
control operation and the internal
battery status.

Pressing down (for more than 2 sec­onds) button C will open all door win­dows to aerate the passenger com­partment: window opening is inter­rupted when the button is released.

Similarly, door windows can be
completely closed when closing the
doors by pressing down (for more
than 2 seconds) button D.

Window closing is stopped when re­leasing button D.

The key (fig. 5) is provided with:

– a metal insert A that can be locked
up in the key handle by pressing but­ton B;

– button B, used to snap-open the
metal insert;

– button C, to operate the central
door locking system, to switch the
electronic alarm off (where fitted) and
to unlock the fuel filler cap;

fig. 5

P4T0744

fig. 6

P4T0745

– the passenger’s side air bag deac­tivating switch;

– the glove compartment lock
(where fitted).

To remove the metal insert from the
key grip, press button B.

When pressing button B
(fig. 6), take care to prevent
the metal insert A from

causing harm or damage when it
comes out. The button B should
only be pressed when the key is
away from the body, in particular
from the eyes, and from objects
that can be spoilt (e.g. clothes).
Make sure the key can never be
touched by others, especially chil­dren, who may inadvertently press
the button B.

2) If the ¢ warning light stays on

(withUwarning light) the code was
not recognised. In this case, turn the
key to STOP and then back to MAR.
If the engine remains immobilised, try
with the other keys provided.

If you are still unable to start the en­gine, carry out the emergency starting
procedure and contact your Lancia
Dealership.

When the car is travelling and the
key is at MAR:

1) If the ¢ warning light comes on

while the car is moving, this means
that the system is running a self-test
(e.g. due to a voltage drop). The first
time you stop, you can test the system
as follows: switch off the engine by
turning the ignition key to STOP then
turn the key back to MAR: the warn­ing light ¢ should come on and then
go out in about one second. If the
warning light fails to go out, leave the
key at STOP for longer than 30 sec­onds. If the problem persists, contact
a Lancia Dealership.

To insert the metal insert A (fig. 5)
into the key grip, keep the button B
pressed and turn the insert in the di­rection shown by the arrow until
hearing the locking click. Then release
button B.

OPERATION

Each time the ignition key is re­moved from position STOP, or
PARK, the Lancia CODE system will
deactivate the engine electronic con­trol unit functions.

When the key is turned to MAR to
start the engine, the Lancia CODE
system sends a password code to the
engine control unit to deactivate the
function lock. The encoded and vari­able code, randomly selected from
over four billion possible combina­tions, is only sent if, in turn, the sys­tem has recognised the code trans­mitted by the electronic device built
into the ignition key via an aerial sur­rounding the ignition switch.

1) If the code is recognised, the ¢

warning light on the instrument panel
will flash briefly: this means that the
protection system has recognised the
key code and disabled the engine im­mobilising system; turn the key to
AVV, to start.

20

2) If the warning light ¢ flashes, the

car is not protected by the engine im­mobilising system. Contact a Lancia
Dealership immediately and get
them to store the codes of all the keys
in the memory.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

Replace the batteries with equivalent
batteries which can be purchased at
common stores, if the key led F
flashes briefly once and led L (Fig.

12) in front of the steering wheel stays
on with fixed light for approximately
two minutes (after switching the
alarm off), when button (C, D or E

fig. 5) is pressed.

DUPLICATE KEYS

When you ask for extra keys, re­member that all the keys, both the new
ones and those you already possess,
must be stored in the memory (up to a
maximum of seven keys). Go directly
to your Lancia Dealership, taking
with you all the keys in your posses­sion, the CODE card, personal ID and
the car’s ownership papers. Copies of
the CODE card can be ordered from
your Lancia Dealership.

IMPORTANT The codes of any
keys that are not available when the
new storage procedure is carried out
will be deleted from the memory to
prevent any lost or stolen keys being
used to start the engine.

Used batteries pollute the
environment. Dispose of
them in the special con-

tainers, as specified by current leg­islation or take them to a Lancia
Dealership, which will deal with
their disposal.

If the Lancia CODE
warning light flashes at
half a second frequency

after approximately two seconds
from when the key is turned to
MAR, the key code has not be
stored in the system’s memory and
consequently the car is not pro­tected by the Lancia CODE system
against theft. In this case, go to a
Lancia Dealership to have the key
codes stored.

IMPORTANT The code may not
be completely transmitted if the
key is turned very rapidly from
STOP to AVV. This will prevent
the engine from starting. Try again
turning the key slower.

Replace the batteries as follows:

– press button B (fig. 7) and bring
the metal insert A to the open posi­tion;

– by means of a fine tip screwdriver,
turn the opening device G to : and
remove the battery holder H;

– replace the battery I observing the
proper bias;

– refit the battery holder into the key
and secure it, by turning the device G
to ;.

ELECTRONIC ALARM (where fitted)

The electronic alarm system fitted in
the car complies with EC directive
95/56 and consists of:

– a radio-frequency transmitter
(built into the ignition key);

– a radio-frequency receiver;

– an electronic control unit with
built-in siren;

– volumetric sensors which can be
deactivated (built-into the front ceil­ing lamp);

– an anti-lifting sensor;

– a bonnet opening switch;

– boot/tailgate opening switch;

– door opening switches;

– warning LEDs.

The electronic alarm is controlled by
the receiver and is switched on by
pressing button D (fig. 8) and switched
off by pressing button C. Both buttons
are built-into the ignition key, which
sends the secret and variable code.

The electronic alarm - which addi­tionally operates the central door
locking system - protects from the fol­lowing actions:

– illicit opening of doors, bonnet and

boot (perimetral surveillance);

– ignition switch operation;

– moving bodies in the passenger
compartment (volumetric surveil­lance);

– attempts to lift the car;

– cutting of battery cables.

The volumetric surveillance function
can be deactivated, as required. Fol­low the instructions given below.

22

fig. 9

P4T0807

IMPORTANT The engine immobil­ising system is governed by the Lan­cia CODE system and is automatically
activated when the ignition key is re­moved.

REMOTE CONTROL (fig. 8)

The remote control is built into the
ignition key and is equipped with:

– button D for switching the alarm on;

– button C for switching the alarm off;

– button E for opening the boot with
the alarm on;

– LED F.

The buttons operate the control and
the LED flashes while the transmitter
is sending the code to the receiver.

This code (of the “rolling code”
type) is encoded by means of a spe­cific algorithm and consequently
changes at each transmission.

The radio-frequency remote control
allows to operate the alarm system
also from a certain distance (up to ap­proximately 10 metres from the car),
without the need of being addressed
towards the receiver and also if the
windows are dirty.

IMPORTANT Change the remote
control batteries as soon as possible if
LED F flashes briefly only once when
button D is pressed. The LED will
work normally after button D is
pressed for the second time after re­placing the batteries.

SWITCHING THE ALARM ON

The alarm can only be switched on
with the ignition key at STOP, PARK
or removed.

To switch the alarm on, press and
release button D (fig. 8) on the igni-
tion key.

With the exception of certain markets,
a beep will be heard, the direction indi­cators will light up for approximately
three seconds, the doors will be locked
and LED L (fig. 9) in front of the steer­ing wheel will start flashing.

A self-test is run when the alarm is
switched on. The test is signaled by
LED L which flashes as follows:

– four flashes in one second: no
faults found;

– eight flashes in one second:
door/bonnet/boot open or faulty sen­sor;

– fixed light: faulty volumetric or
anti-lift sensor.

If a fault is found, the concerned
component is cut out and the system
beeps to signal the event.

Surveillance

LED L (fig. 9) will flash to indicate
that the system surveillance function
is on.

The LED will flash as long as the
system is operating.

IMPORTANT The electronic alarm
operation is adapted to the rules in
force in the various countries.

23

Self-test
and door/bonnet/boot checks

Check that the doors, bonnet and
boot are correctly closed if a second
beep is heard when the alarm is
switched on. Then try to switch the
alarm back on.

The system will cut out the doors,
bonnet and boot from the surveillance
if they are not properly closed.

If the doors, the bonnet and the boot
are properly closed and the second
beep is heard again, it means that the
system self-test function has found a
fault. Contact a Lancia Dealership.

SWITCHING ON THE ALARM
AND CUTTING OUT THE
VOLUMETRIC SURVEILLANCE

The function can be cut out (for ex­ample, when pets are left in the car) by
carrying out the following operations
in rapid sequence. With the key at
MAR, turn the key to STOP, then
back to MAR and then back to STOP
again. Remove the ignition key. The
LED in front of the steering wheel will
light up for approximately two seconds
to indicate the function has been cut
out.

To restore the volumetric surveil­lance function, take the key to MAR
and hold it there for longer than 30
seconds.

If you want to operate an electrical
device which runs when the key is at
MAR (e.g. the electrical window
winders) when the volumetric sur­veillance function is cut out, turn the
key to MAR, operate the required
control and turn the key back to
STOP within 30 seconds. In this way
the the volumetric surveillance func­tion will not be switched on again.

AUTOMATIC SWITCH-ON
(where fitted)

In some markets, the electronic
alarm can be programmed to be
switched on automatically.

The electronic alarm is automati­cally switched on (without operating
the door locking system) after ap­proximately 30 seconds from when
the car is left. This condition is de­tected by the system by the following
sequence of actions:

– ignition key turned from MAR to
STOP;

– opening and closing of the last
door.

The automatic switch-on will be in­terrupted if a door, the bonnet or the
boot is opened during the 30 second
timeout. The 30 seconds timeout will
start from zero after closure.

Press button C (fig. 8) on the igni­tion key to switch the alarm off after
an automatic switch-on.

24

SWITCHING THE ALARM OFF

To switch the alarm off, press re­mote control button C (fig. 8). Then,
the system performs the following ac­tions (with the exception of certain
markets):

– the direction indicators will flash
twice;

– two short siren sound signals
(“BEEP”);

– the system will unlock the doors.

IMPORTANT If LED in the car
stays on (for up to two minutes or un­til the ignition key is turned to MAR)
when the alarm is switched off:

– If the LED stays on (fixed light) the
remote control batteries are flat. Re­place them.

– If the LED flashes differently
from usual, an attempt has been
made to break into the car. The type
of break-in attempt is signalled by the
number of flashes:

1 flash: front right-hand door

2 flashes: front left-hand door

3 flashes: rear right-hand door

4 flashes: rear left-hand door

5 flashes: volumetric or anti-lifting

sensors

6 flashes: bonnet

7 flashes: boot/tailgate

8 flashes: tampered wires to start en-

gine

9 flashes: tampered battery wires

10 flashes: three or more causes of

alarm.

VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION

Do not leave passengers or pets in the
parked car and completely close the
windows and the sunroof (where fitted)
to ensure the correct operation of the
volumetric sensors. Furthermore, make
sure that the doors, bonnet and
boot/tailgate are properly closed.

ANTI-LIFTING SENSOR

The anti-lifting sensor detects vari­ations in slant to signal lifting or par­tial lifting (e.g. to remove a wheel) of
the car.

The sensor can detect minimal vari­ations in car trim along both longitu­dinal axis and transversal axis. varia­tions in trim lower than 0.5°/min.
(such as, for example, a slow deflat­ing tyre) are not taken into account.

25

OPENING THE BOOT WHEN
THE ALARM IS ON

When the alarm is on, the boot can
be opened by pressing button E
(fig. 8) on the ignition key.

In this case, the operating logic of
the alarm is as follows:

– the volumetric surveillance func­tion is deactivated;

– the anti-lift sensor is deactivated;

– the boot/tailgate sensor is deacti­vated.

The normal surveillance functions
are reactivated when the boot/tailgate
is closed.

WHAT TRIGGERS
THE ALARM OFF

The alarm will be triggered off in the

following conditions:

– if a door, the bonnet or the

boot/tailgate is opened;

– if the battery or the cables are dis-

connected or cut;

– if there is an intrusion in the pas­senger compartment, e.g. a broken
window (volumetric protection).

– if an attempt is made to start the
engine (key at MAR);

– if an attempt has been made to lift
the car.

According to the markets, the alarm
can operate the siren (for up to three
26 second cycles) and the direction
indicators (for approximately four or
five minutes, only where this is al­lowed). The intervention modality
and the number of cycles can vary ac­cording to the markets.

A maximum number of acoustic/vi­sual cycles is foreseen in all cases.

After the alarm cycle, the system re­turns to its normal surveillance func­tion.

STOPPING THE ALARM

To stop the alarm, press button C
(fig. 8) on the remote control. If this
is unsuccessful, owing to run-down
remote control battery or to a system
fault, open the door after unlocking
the lock with the key, then put the
key into the ignition switch and turn
it to MAR.

To switch the alarm on again, turn
the key to STOP and remove it, then
press button D on the remote control
after closing the doors. If the alarm is
not switched on and LED F on the re­mote control gives off only a short
flash, the key battery needs replacing.
To replace the battery, follow the in­structions shown in chapter “Lancia
CODE System”.

If, with the remote control battery
charged, the alarm cannot be
switched on, contact your Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.

26

IMPORTANT If the car is to be
stored for a long period of time (over
three weeks) and safety conditions
permitting, it is recommended that
central locking is actuated by turning
the key in the door lock, so as not to
switch the alarm on and, thus, avoid
running down the battery.

Replace the batteries as follows:

– press button B (fig. 11) and bring
the metal insert A to the open posi­tion;

– by means of a fine tip screwdriver,
turn the opening device G to : and
remove the battery holder H;

– replace the battery I observing the
proper bias;

– refit the battery holder into the key
and secure it, by turning the device G
to ;.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

Replace the batteries with equivalent
batteries which can be purchased at
common stores, if the key led F
flashes briefly once and led L (fig. 12)
in front of the steering wheel stays on
with fixed light for approximately two
minutes (after switching the alarm
off), when button (C, D or E fig. 10)
is pressed.

27

Used batteries pollute the
environment. Dispose of
them in the special con-

tainers, as specified by current leg­islation or take them to a Lancia
Dealership, which will deal with
their disposal.

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL
REMOTE CONTROLS

The receiver will acknowledge up to

8 remote controls.

If extra remote controls are ordered,
in addition to the ones originally sup­plied, remember to carry out the same
programming procedure for all the re­mote controls when the car is new.

The control unit will subsequently
exclude this type of programming to
prevent anyone else programming the
control unit to acknowledge other re­mote controls.

If, therefore, you ever need a new re­mote control, go directly to a Lancia
Dealership, taking with you all the
keys in your possession, the CODE
card, personal identification and the
car ownership papers.

MINISTERIAL HOMOLOGATION

In the respect of the legislation in
force in each country in the matter of
radio-frequency devices, please note
that:

– the market-specific homologation
numbers are listed in the following
section: Radio-frequency remote con­trol: ministerial homologation;

– the homologation number is
printed on the component for markets
where this is required.

The code marking may also be
printed on the transmitter and/or the
receiver for versions/markets where
this is required.

SEAT BELTS

HOW TO USE
THE SEAT BELTS
(front and rear seats - fig. 33)

To fasten the seat belts, take the

tongue of fastener A and push it into
buckle B, until you hear it click.

Pull the seat belt gently. If it jams,
let it rewind a little and pull it out
again without jerking.

Instrument panel warning light <
will come on if the ignition key is
turned to MAR and the driver’s seat
belt is not fastened.

To release the seat belts, press
button C. Guide the seat belt with
your hand while is rewinding to pre­vent it from twisting.

The seat belt reel mechanism en­sures that the belt automatically ad­justs to the wearer allowing him or
her to move in complete freedom.

When the car is parked on a steep
slope the reel mechanism may block;
this is normal.

Only adjust seat belt
height when the car is sta­tionary.

The reel mechanism prevents the
webbing coming out when it is jerked
or if the car brakes sharply, is in a
collision or when cornering at high
speed.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF
THE SEAT BELTS (fig. 34)

Always adjust the height of the front
seat belt to fit the person wearing it.
This could greatly reduce the risk of
injury in the case of collision.

The belt is adjusted properly when
the webbing passes approximately
halfway between the edge of the
shoulder and the neck.

The seat belt can be adjusted to one
of five different heights.

fig. 33

P4T0019

fig. 34

P4T0018

For maximum safety,
keep the back of your seat
upright, lean back into it

and make sure the seat belt fits
closely across your chest and hips.

Never press button (C)
when travelling.

35

USE OF THE REAR SEAT
BELTS

The rear seat belts must be

worn as shown (fig. 35).

You should put the belt on when you
are sitting upright and leaning back
in your seat.

When no-one is sitting in the rear
seats, carefully fold the belts and
buckles and stow them away in the
receptacles in the seat back.

To raise the belt

Lift loop A to the required position.

To lower

Press button B and move loop A
downwards at the same time to the
required position.

After adjustment, always
check that the slider is an­chored in one of the posi-

tions provided. To do this, with the
button released, exert a further
pressure to allow the anchor de­vice to catch if release did not take
place at one of the preset positions.

fig. 35

P4T0703

FRONT SEAT BELT LOAD
LIMITING DEVICE

In order to increase passive safety,
the front seat belt reels have a built­in load limiting device which collapse
in a controlled fashion so to dose the
force on the passenger’s shoulder dur­ing retaining operation.

36

Remember that in the
case of a violent collision,
back seat passengers not

wearing seat belts also represent a
serious danger to the passengers in
the front.

Proper backrest coupling
is guaranteed when each
handle (B – fig. 35 / a) and

(C – fig. 35 / b), is retracted in its
housing.

Make sure the seat back
is correctly hooked on
both sides to prevent seat

back being thrown forwards and
injuring passengers should you
brake sharply.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE USE OF THE SEAT BELTS

The driver is responsible for re­specting and enforcing the local rules
and laws regarding the use of seat
belts.

Make sure the seat belts
of the front and rear pas­sengers are fastened at all

times. You increase the risk of se­rious injury or death in a collision
if you travel with the belts unfas­tened.

fig. 35/a

P4T0205

fig. 35/b

P4T0206

37

Seat belts must also be worn by ex­pectant mothers: the risk of injury in
the case of accident is much greater
for them and their unborn child too if
they do not have a seat belt on. Of
course, they must position the lower
part of the belt very low down so that
it passes under the abdomen (fig. 37).

HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT
BELTS IN PROPER WORKING
ORDER AT ALL TIMES

1) When wearing the seat belts, al-

ways ensure they are not twisted and
are free to wind in and out.

2) Following a serious accident, re­place 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 deter­gents, bleach, colourings or any other
chemical substance that could weaken
the fibres.

4) Do not allow the reel mechanisms
to get wet: they are only guaranteed
to work properly if they remain dry.

fig. 37

P4T0043

fig. 38

P4T0044

Never travel with a child
sitting on the passenger’s
lap with a single belt to

protect them both (fig. 38).

fig. 36

P4T0042

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 passenger’s hips and not the
abdomen, to prevent them from
sliding forwards (fig. 36). Do not
use clips, fasteners etc. to prevent
the belt adhering to the passenger’s
body.

IMPORTANT Arrange the child re-

straint seat on the rear seat behind the
passenger’s seat. This is the most pro­tected position in the passenger com­partment in the event of a collision.

CARRYING
CHILDREN
SAFELY

passenger’s air bag, which during
inflation could cause serious in­jury, even mortal, regardless of the
seriousness of the crash that trig­gered it. Children may be placed
on the front seat of cars fitted with
passenger’s air bag deactivation.
In this case, it is absolutely neces­sary to check the warning light F
on the cluster to make sure that
deactivation has actually taken
place (see paragraph front and
side air bags at item front passen­ger air bag).

The front passenger seat shall be
adjusted in the most backward po­sition to prevent any contact be­tween child’s seat and dashboard.

For optimal protection in the event
of a crash, all passengers must be
seated and wearing adequate restraint
systems.

This is even more important for chil­dren.

According to 2003/20/EC Directive,
this prescription is compulsory for all
European Community countries.

Compared with adults, their head is
proportionally larger and heavier than
the rest of the body, while the muscles
and bone structure are not completely
developed. Therefore, correct restraint
systems are necessary, other then
adult seat belts.

SERIOUS DANGER:
Never place cradle

child’s seats on the
front passenger seat of cars fitted
with passenger air bag since the
air bag activation could cause se­rious injuries, even mortal.

You are advised to carry children
always on the rear seat, as this is
the most protected position in the
case of a crash. In any case, chil­dren's seats must absolutely not be
fitted on the front seat of car’s with

The results of research on the best
child restraint systems are contained
in the European Standard ECE-R44.
This Standard enforces the use of re­straint systems classified in five
groups:

Group 0 0-10 kg in weight

Group 0+ 0-13 kg in weight

Group 0 9-18 kg in weight

Group 0 15-25 kg in weight

Group 0 22-36 kg in weight

As it may be noted, the groups over­lap partly and in fact, in commerce it
is possible to find devices that cover
more than one weight group (fig. 39).

All restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the
control brand, on a solidly fixed label
which must absolutely never be re­moved.

Over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems,
children are considered as adults and
wear the seat belts normally.

GROUP 1

Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in
weight, children may be carried fac­ing forwards, with seats fitted with
front cushion (fig. 41), through which
the car seat belt restrains both child
and seat.

Lineaccessori Lancia offers seats for
each weight group, which are the rec­ommended choice, as they have been
designed and experimented specifi­cally for Lancia cars.

GROUP 0 and 0+

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
facing backwards on a cradle seat,
which, supporting the head, does not
induce stress on the neck in the event
of sharp deceleration.

The cradle is restrained by the car
seat belts, as shown in fig. 40 and in
turn it must restrain the child with its
own belts.

The figure is only an ex­ample for mounting. Attain
to the instructions for fas-

tening which must be enclosed
with the specific child restraint
system you are using .

The figure is indicative
for assembly only. The seat
should be installed follow-

ing the instructions that must ac­company it.

The figure is only an ex­ample for mounting. Attain

a rear connection to the vehicle
belts and their own belts to re­strain the child. Due to their size,
they can be dangerous if installed

with a cushion. Carefully follow
the instructions for installation
provided with the seat.

GROUP 3

For children from 22 kg up to 36 kg
the size of the child’s chest no longer
requires a support to space the child’s
back from the seat back.

that the diagonal part adheres to the
chest and not to the neck and that the
horizontal part clings to the child’s
pelvis and not the abdomen (fig. 42).

Starting from 15 kg to 25 kg in
weight, children may be restrained di­rectly by the car belts. The only func­tion of the seat is to position the child

42

5) Always check the seat belt is well

fastened by pulling the webbing.

6) Only one child is to be strapped

to each retaining system.

7) Always check the seat belts do not

fit around the child’s throat.

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, how­ever strong they are, can hold a child
in the event of a crash.

10) In case of an accident, replace
the seat with a new one.

Below is a summary of the rules
of safety to be followed for
carrying children:

1) The recommended position for

installing children’s seat is on the rear
seat, as it is the most protected in the
case of a crash.

2) In cars fitted with passenger air
bag never place child’s restraint sys­tems on the front seat since children
shall never be seated on the front pas­senger seat.

3) If the passenger’s air bag is deac­tivated always check the warning
light F on the cluster to make sure
that it has actually been deactivated.

4) Attain to the instructions for fas­tening the specific child restraint sys­tem which you are using. These in­structions must be provided by the
manufacturer. Keep the child re­straint system installation instructions
with the car documents and this
Handbook. Never use a child restraint
system without installation instruc­tions.

PRETENSIONERS

Your car is fitted with pretensioners
on the front side seats to improve pro­tection. These devices are triggered by
a sensor in the event of a violent im­pact and pull back a few inches of
webbing. In this way the pretensioner
ensures that the belt is adhering per­fectly to the body before the belt be­gins to hold back the wearer.

When the pretensioner has been
triggered the retractor will lock. The
seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guiding it manually.

Some smoke may be produced when
the pretensioner is triggered. The
smoke is harmless and does indicate
the beginning of a fire.

The pretensioners do not require any
maintenance or lubrication. Any mod­ification of their original state invali­dates its efficiency.

43

If, as the result of exceptional nat­ural occurrences (floods, sea storms
etc.), the device is soaked through
with water and mud, it must be re­placed.

The pretensioner will give maximum
protection when the seat belt adheres
snugly to the wearer’s chest and hips.

The pretensioner can
only be used once. After a
collision that has triggered

it, have it replaced at a Fiat Deal­ership. The validity of the device is
written on the plate located in the
glove compartment. Contact Lan­cia Dealership to have pretension­ers replaced as this date ap­proaches.

Under no circumstances
should the components of
the pretensioner be tam-

pered with or removed. Any inter­ventions should be carried out by
qualified and authorised person­nel. Always contact a Lancia Dealer­ship.

Operations involving bang­ing, vibrations or heating
(exceeding 100°C for a

maximum of six hours) in the area
around the pretensioner may trig­ger or damage the device. Vibra­tions from rough road surfaces
or accidental jolting caused by
mounting pavements etc. do not
have any effect on the preten­sioner. If, however, you need any
assistance, go to a Lancia Dealer­ship.

FRONT AND SIDE
AIRBAGS

The car is equipped with front
airbags for driver (fig. 45/a) and pas­senger (fig. 46), and with side airbags,
side bags (fig. 47) and window bags
(fig. 48).

FRONT AIRBAGS

Description and operation

The front airbag (driver and pas­senger) is a safety device which is im­mediately triggered in the event of a
front impact.

fig. 46

P4T0705

The front Air bag consists of an in­stantly inflatable bag housed in a spe­cial compartment located:

– in the centre of the steering wheel
on the driver’s side;

– in the dashboard on the passen­ger’s side (larger bag).

fig. 48

P4T0707

fig. 47

P4T0706

The front airbag (driver and pas­senger) is a device which protects the
occupants of the car during a head-on
collision of a medium-high degree by
placing a soft bag between the pas­senger and the steering wheel or the
dashboard.

In a collision, an electronic control
unit processes the signals from a de­celeration sensor and, where required,
inflates the airbag.

The bag inflates instantly and acts
as a soft protective barrier between
the front seat passengers and the
structures in front of them that could
cause injury. The bags deflates im­mediately afterwards.

Please don’t apply stick­ers or other objects to the
steering wheel, to the air-

bag cover on the passenger's side
or on the side roof lining to the up­holstery on the roof side. Don’t
place objects on the dashboard
passenger’s side (such as mobile
phones) because they could tam­per with the correct opening of the
passenger’s air-bag and than
cause serious injuries to the vehi­cle occupants.

44

45

A passenger not wearing
the seat belt may crash
into the bag before it is

fully inflated. In this case, the pro­tection is considerably decreased.
The airbag, as a consequence, is
not a replacement for the use of
seat belts but rather a comple­ment. We recommend that seat
belts are worn at all times as pre­scribed by legislation in Europe
and most other countries world­wide.

In the event of front collisions at low
speed, the restraining action of the
seat belts is sufficient and the airbag
is not inflated.

For impacts against very deformable
or mobile objects (traffic sign poles,
heaps of gravel or snow, parked vehi­cles), rear impacts (e.g. a car crash­ing into the back), side impacts, wedg­ing under other vehicles or barriers
(e.g. under a truck or guard rail), the
airbag does not offer additional pro­tection with respect to the seat belts
and may even be undesirable.

The fact that the airbag is not trig­gered in these situations, this does not
signify a malfunction.

PASSENGER’S FRONT AIRBAG

The passenger’s airbag was designed
and calibrated to protect a person
wearing seat belts.

When fully inflated, the bag will fill
most of the space between the dash­board and the passenger.

SEVERE DANGER:
If the car has a

passenger’s airbag,
do not place the child restraint seat
on the front seat. If required, always
deactivate the passenger’s front
airbag when a child seat is placed on
the front seat. Although it may not be
prescribed by law, we recommend
reactivating the airbag as soon as it
is no longer necessary to carry chil­dren to provide better protection to
adult passengers.

Warning light Findi-

cates also warning light

failure. This is indicated
by intermittent flashing, over 4
seconds, of warning light F. In
this event, warning light ¬could
be not up to indicate restraint sys­tem failures, if any. Stop the car
and contact Lancia Dealership to
have the system checked.

The side airbag will work although

the front airbag is deactivated.

The key can be inserted and re­moved from the switch with the door
open in any of the two positions.

The key switch (fig. 49) has two

possible positions:

1) Passenger’s front airbag active:
(position ONP) instrument panel
warning light off. Do not carry chil­dren on the front seat.

2) Passenger’s front airbag deacti­vated: (position OFFF) instrument
panel warning light on. A child may
be carried on the front seat, protected
with a specific restraint system.

TheFwarning light on the instru­ment panel will stay on until the pas­senger front airbag is reactivated.

Only turn the switch when
the engine is not running
and the ignition key is re-

moved.

The passenger’s front
airbag deactivated warn­ing light will signal

airbag warning light faults. In
this case, the situation on the in­strument panel is:

– airbag warning light off;

– passenger front airbag deacti­vated warning light flashing
(past the normal four seconds).

Stop the car and contact Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.

Manually deactivating the
passenger’s front airbag (fig. 49)

The passenger’s front airbag can be
deactivated if it is absolutely neces­sary to carry a child in the front pas­senger seat.

The airbag is deactivated with the
ignition key by means of the switch on
the right-hand side of the dashboard
(fig. 46). The switch can only be
reached when the door is open.

SIDE AIRBAGS
(SIDE BAG – WINDOW BAG)

Purpose of the side airbags is to in­crease passenger protection in the
event of a side impact of medium to
high severity.

Side airbags consist of an instantly
inflatable bag:

- the side bag is housed in the front
seat backs. This solution ensures that
the bag is always in an optimal posi­tion with respect to the passenger, re­gardless of the seat position;

- since the window bag is a “win­dow” system it is housed in the roof
side covering, masked with a proper
finishing that enables bag deflation
downwards. This solution has been
studied for protecting the head and
therefore to offer the best passenger
protection in the event of a side im­pact. The “window” solution offers
the aforesaid top protection perfor­mance through the wide deflation sur­face and the self-supporting charac­teristics, the same type of protection
is also offered to rear seat passengers.

IMPORTANT The front and/or side
airbags can be triggered if the car is
involved in hard impacts or collisions
in the area of the underbody, e.g.: vi­olent impacts against steps, kerbs or
projecting objects fixed to the ground,
or if the car falls into large pot-holes
or dips in the road surface.

IMPORTANT When the airbag is
fired it emits a small amount of pow­ders and smoke. This is not harmful
and does not indicate the beginning of
a fire. Furthermore the surface of the
inflated bag and the passenger com­partment may be covered with pow­dery residues. This powder may irri­tate skin and eyes. In the event of ex­posure, wash with mild soap and wa­ter.

In the event of a side collision the
electronic control unit processes the
signals coming from a deceleration
sensor and, if required, fires the bags.

The bag inflates instantly and acts
as a soft protective barrier between
the body of the front seat passengers
and the car door. The bag deflates im­mediately afterwards.

In the event of side collisions at low
speed, the restraining action of the
seat belts is sufficient and the airbag
is not inflated.

The airbag, as a consequence, is not
a replacement for the use of seat belts
but rather a complement. We recom­mend that seat belts are worn at all
times as prescribed by legislation in
Europe and most other countries
world-wide.

Side airbags are not deactivated by
front airbag switch operation, as de­scribed in the previous paragraph and
therefore in the event of side impact,
protection is guaranteed also to any
child carried on the front passenger
seat.

48

When the ignition key is
turned to MAR (passenger
front airbag deactivation

switch at ON), the warning light

will come on for approximately
four seconds and flash for other
four seconds to remind the driver
that the passenger’s front and side
airbags will be fired in the event of
a crash. The warning light should
go out immediately afterwards.

If an attempt has been
made to steal the car, or if
it has actually been stolen

or has been vandalised in any way
or subjected to flooding, have the
airbag system checked over at a
Lancia Dealership.

If the car changes hands, the new
owner must be made aware of the in­dications given above and be given
this “Owner Handbook”.

IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front
airbags and side airbags are activated
by the electronic control unit accord­ing to the type of impact. Conse­quently, missed activation of one or
more system components does not in­dicate a fault in the system.

GENERAL NOTES

If the ¬ warning light

does not turn on when

turning the ignition key to
MAR or if it stays on when travel­ling, this could indicate a failure
in safety retaining systems; under
this condition air bags or preten­sioners could not trigger in the
event of collision or, in a restricted
number of cases, they could trig­ger accidentally. Stop the car and
contact Lancia Dealership to have
the system checked immediately.

The air bag system has a validity of
14 years as to the pyrotechnic charge,
and 10 years as to the twisted contact.
As this date approaches, contact Lan-

cia Dealership to have it replaced.

IMPORTANT After an accident

which triggered the airbags, go to a
Lancia Dealership to have the en­tire safety system, the electronic con­trol unit, the seat belts and the pre­tensioners replaced and to have the
electrical system checked.

Any diagnostic, repair or replace­ment operations concerning the
airbag system must exclusively be
carried out at a Lancia Dealership.

If you are having the car scrapped,
have the airbag system deactivated at
a Lancia Dealership first.

49

Do not travel with objects
on your lap or in front of
you nor with a pipe, pencil

or similar between your lips; you
could seriously hurt yourself if the
airbag inflates in a collision.

Do not wash the seat
back in cars with side
airbags with pressurised

steam or water in automatic seat
washing stations.

Do not cover back rest of
front seats with trims or
covers there are not set for

the use of side bags.

The airbag does not re­place seat belts but rather
increases their effective-

ness. Furthermore, the airbag is not
fired in the event of low speed front
collisions, side collisions, rear-end
shunts and roll-overs. In these
cases, the passengers are only pro­tected by the seat belts which for
this reason must always be fastened.

It is important to remem­ber that the airbag can be
fired even when the car is

stationary if it is hit by another ve­hicle travelling at suitable speed. As
a consequence, hever sit children in
the front seat, even if the car is not
moving. On the contrary, the airbags
will not be fired if the car is crashed
into when the key is not inserted or
turned. Consequently, in this case,
the fact that the system is not fired
does not indicate a fault.

The airbag is set to be
fired in the event of colli­sions which are greater

than the pretensioner settings.
Consequently, for collisions in the
bracket between the two thresh­olds, it is normal for only the pre­tensioners to be fired.

Always drive with both
hands on the rim of the
steering wheel so that the

airbag is free to inflate during a
head-on collision and protect you
from serious injury. Do not drive
with your body bending towards
the steering wheel, but sit in an up­right position with your back rest­ing against the seat.

Do not apply stickers or
other objects to the steer­ing wheel, to the passen-

ger’s airbag cover or to the side
airbag covers.

INSTRUMENTS

IMPORTANT After stopping the
engine (turning the key to STOP), the
speedometer and the rev counter are
re-calibrated for approximately one
second. During this time, the speedome­ter and rev counter needles will hover
and a slight ticking sound may be
heard.

SPEEDOMETER (fig. 52)

The speedometer shows the car
speed expressed in kilometres per
hour (km/h).

IMPORTANT The speedometer
may present different full scale values
according to the versions.

REV COUNTER (fig. 53-54)

If the needle is in the hazard sector
(the section with the progressively
closer lines) it shows your car’s engine
is over-revving. Do not travel with the
needle in this sector.

When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may show a gradual or sud­den increase in engine speed, accord­ing to the case. This is normal and in­dicates the operation of the climate

control compressor or fans, etc. In
particular, a gradual variation in en­gine revolution speed safeguards bat­tery charge.

IMPORTANT The hazard sectors
can present different widths and dif­ferent full scale values according to
the various car versions.

IMPORTANT The electronic injec­tion control system will progressively
cut off the flow of fuel when the en­gine is over-revving and the engine
will consequently lose power.

The initial lighting up shows that the
warning light is working properly.

Warning light either stays on or
comes on while travelling:

d

U

Fixed light - warning of a fuel
feed/ignition/injection system failure
which 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 en­gine and you should moderate the
speed. Prolonged use with the warn­ing light on can cause damage. Con­tact 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.

Flashing light - warning that the
catalyser can be damaged (see
“EOBD system” in this chapter).

If the warning light starts flashing,
release the accelerator pedal and slow
the engine down until the warning
light stops flashing. Continue driving
at moderate speed, preventing the
warning light from coming on again.
Contact a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.

If the warning light does
not turn on when turning
the ignition key to MAR or

if it stays on when travelling, this
could indicate a failure in safety
retaining systems; under this con­dition air bags or pretensioners
could not trigger in the event of
collision or, in a restricted number
of cases, they could trigger acci­dentally. Stop the car and contact
Lancia Dealership to have the sys­tem checked immediately.

AIRBAG FAILURE (red)

The warning light should

come on when the ignition

key is turned to MAR and should go
out after approximately four seconds.

The warning light will come on per­manently when there is an airbag sys­tem failure.

there is a failure in the ABS system.
In this case, the normal braking sys­tem continues to work although with­out the ABS assistance but you should
have the car seen to at a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.

>

The car is fitted with an
electronic braking device
(EBD). The and

warning lights come on at the
same time when the engine is run­ning to indicate that there is an
EBD system failure. In this case vi­olent braking may be accompa­nied by early rear wheel locking
with the possibility of skidding.
Drive the car extremely carefully
to the nearest Lancia Dealership
to have the system checked.

position, the warning lamp on the
dashboard will light up and go out af­ter about 4 seconds.

If the warning lamp does not go out
or stays on when the vehicle is run­ning, contact your Lancia Dealer-
ship.

The flashing of the warning lamp
when the vehicle is running indicates
the actuation of the ESP system
and/or the ASR function.

The simultaneous lighting up of
warning lamp á on the dashboard
and of the LED on the switch indicate
ASR function malfunction. In this
case, contact your Lancia Dealer-

ship.

58

The ESP system operates
even when the undersized
spare wheel is used. How-

ever, it should be kept in mind
that the undersized spare wheel is
smaller than the other wheels and,
therefore, its grip on the roadbed
is reduced. Therefore, warning
lamp á ESP might light up under
particular adhesion conditions
and/or driving manoeuvres; verify
that the lamp goes out when the
ordinary wheel is fitted. When the
undersized spare wheel is fitted to
the vehicle, do not exceed a speed
of 80 km/h and avoid manoeuvres
that might cause the vehicle to go
out of control.

For correct operation of
the ESP system the tyres
must absolutely be of the

same brand and type on all
wheels, in perfect conditions and,
above all, of the specified type,
brand and size.

HILL HOLDER
(amber)
(where required)

By turning the key to MAR position,
the warning lamp on the dashboard
will light up and go out after about 4

USEFUL ADVICE

Road safety

You should familiarise with the var­ious function of the sound system
(e.g. storing stations) before driving
off.

Reception conditions

Reception conditions vary all the
time while the car is moving. Recep­tion may be effected by mountains,
buildings or bridges, especially when
you are a long way from the broad­casting transmitter of the station you
are listening to.

IMPORTANT A considerable in­crease in volume could occur when
traffic information is given.

Care and maintenance

The basic structure of the sound sys­tem ensures long-term operation
without the need for any particular
maintenance. Get in touch with a
Lancia Dealership if anything goes
wrong.

Do not leave tapes in direct sunlight
or expose them to excessive heat. Put
the cassettes back into their boxes af­ter use.

Use good quality tapes, no longer
than C-90 to ensure optimal play­back.

Only clean the front panel with a
soft, anti-static cloth. Cleaning or pol­ishing agents could damage the sur­face.

Dirt on the player head from tapes
can, in time, reduce treble during
playback.

We recommend you clean the head
periodically with a specific head
cleaner tape (non abrasive).

Keep CDs away from dust. Do not
touch the surface to prevent skipping.

Do not insert damaged or deformed
CDs in the magazine.

Do not expose discs to sources of
heat or sun rays.

Clean dirty CDs with a soft cloth
from the centre outwards.

If you drive with the vol­ume too high you put both
your own life and that of

others in jeopardy. You should ad­just the volume so that you can
hear noises from outside the car
(e.g. horns, ambulance/police si­rens, etc.).

GENERAL

Anti-theft protection

This sound system is equipped with
an anti-theft protection system con­sisting of a four-digit secret code.

The protection system makes the
sound system useless if it removed
(stolen) from the dashboard.

CODE card

The model, the serial number and
the respective secret code are shown
on the sound system papers.

The serial number is identical to
that printed on the device chassis.

The CODE card facilitates searches
if the sound system is lost. Further­more, the ownership paper speeds up
compensation procedures on behalf of
insurance companies.

Keep the papers in a safe place.

Safety

The sound system will be electroni­cally protected if the electrical power
is disconnected when the code is on.

Only you can start the device again
by entering its specific code.

Display

If the device has been disconnected
from the power supply, enter the se­cret code and set the time and the
date.

For instruction on setting the clock
and adjusting the device brightness,
