SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1
The belt should be worn keeping the
chest straight and rested against the
seat back.
Take hold the tongue A and insert it
into the buckle B , until hearing the
locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for
a short stretch, then pull it out again
without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press but-
ton C . Guide the seat belt with your
hand while it is rewinding, to prevent
it from twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automati-
cally adapts to the body of the pas-
senger wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.
When the car is parked on a steep
slope the reel mechanism may block;
this is normal. The reel mechanism
prevents the webbing coming out
when it is jerked or if the car brakes
sharply, in a collision or when cor-
nering at high speeds.
The rear seat (for side seats) is fitted
with inertial seat belts with three an-
chor points and reel. As optional the
centre seat can be fitted with three an-
chor points and reel (only for ho-
mologated 5-seat cars).
IMPORTANT Remember that in the
event of a violent collision, back seat
passengers not wearing seat belts also
represent a serious danger for front
seat passengers.

WARNING
S.B.R. system (where provided)
The car is fitted with the S.B.R. sys-
tem (Seat Belt Reminder), consisting
of a buzzer which, together with the
flashing of warning light
<
on the in-
strument panel, warns the driver to
fasten the seat belts.
The buzzer can be deactivated (until
the the next engine stop) as follows:
❒
fasten the driver’s seat belt;
❒
turn the ignition key to MAR ;
❒
wait for over 20 seconds and then
release at least one of the seat belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact
Lancia Dealership.
It is possible to reset the S.B.R. system
only through the set-up menu (see
“Warning lights and messages” sec-
tion at paragraph “Unfastened seat
belts”).
Remember that in the
event of a violent collision,
back seat passengers not wearing
seat belts also represent a serious
danger for the front seat passen-
gers.
