WARNING
3) If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by a Lancia Dealership
before driving again.
4) Always remove the key when you leave
your car to prevent someone from
accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the handbrake.

leave children unattended in the vehicle.
5) It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the car with type-
approval requirements.
6) Never remove the key while the car is
moving. The steering wheel will
automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
This holds true for cars being towed as
well.
