It is important to remem-
ber that the airbag can be
fired even when the engine
is not running and the key is at
MAR if it is hit by another vehicle
travelling at suitable speed. As a
consequence, LANCIA recom-
mends sitting children in their
specific restraint systems on the
back seat, which is the most pro-
tected position possible. 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.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.
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. Do not apply stickers or
other objects to the steering
wheel or to the dashboard
on the passenger’s side. 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.
The correct operation of
front airbags, side airbags
and pretensioners is en-
sured only if the car is not over-
loaded. Do not exceed the maximum
permitted loads (see “Weights” in
“Technical specifications”).When the passenger’s
front airbag is active (pas-
senger front airbag deacti-
vation switch at ON), the warn-
ing light will come on for approx-
imately four seconds and flash for
other four seconds when the igni-
tion key is turned to MAR to re-
mind the driver than the passen-
ger’s front and side airbags (where
fitted) will be fired in the event of
a crash. The warning light should
go out immediately afterwards.
The airbag does not re-
place 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.

Never fit a standard tyre to a rim
to be used for the space-saver
spare wheel. Have the punctured
tyre repaired and fitted back on as
soon as possible.
No more than one space-saver
spare wheel must be used at the
same time.
Do not grease the bolt threads be-
fore fitting them, they could un-
screw themselves.
The jack must only be used to
change wheels on the vehicle with
which it is supplied or on vehicles
of the same model. All other uses,
for example raising other vehicles,
must be excluded. Under no cir-
cumstances use the jack to carry
out repairs under the vehicle.
If the jack is not used correctly,
the raised vehicle may fall.Do not use the jack to lift weights
above that indicated on the label
attached to the jack itself.
Never start the engine while the
car is raised by the jack. If travel-
ling with a trailer, detach the
trailer before raising the car.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to
the spare wheel, consequently if a
front tyre is punctured (front drive)
and snow chains need to be fitted,
a standard wheel must be removed
from the back axle and the space-
saver spare wheel fitted in its
place. In this way there will be two
standard wheels on the front and
the snow chains can be fitted.
Incorrect fitting of the wheel hub
could result in the hub coming off
when the vehicle is travelling.Never tamper with the inflation
valve.
Do not insert any type of tool be-
tween the rim and the tyre.
Periodically check the tyre pres-
sure including that of the spare-
saver spare wheel as per the val-
ues given in “Technical Specifica-
tions”.

WITH A SHOP JACK
Front end
The car may only be raised by plac-
ing the jack arm under the transaxle,
with a block of wood or rubber as il-
lustrated in (fig. 38).IF THE CAR NEEDS
TO BE RAISED
WITH THE JACK
See “If a tyre is punctured”, in this
section.
The jack should only be
used to change a wheel on
the vehicle with which it is
supplied or on vehicles of the same
model. All other uses, for example
raising other vehicles, must be ex-
cluded. Under no circumstances
use the jack to carry out repairs
under the vehicle.
If the jack is not used
correctly, the raised vehi-
cle may fall. Do not use the
jack to lift weights above that in-
dicated on the label attached to the
jack itself.
It must be remembered that:
– the jack does not require adjust-
ments;
– the jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks, it must be changed with an-
other new jack;
– only the jack handle described in
the chapter “If a tyre is punctured”
can be fitted onto the jack.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Motor and engineering enthusiasts as well as
those “in the trade” will probably start reading
from this point in the manual. This, in fact, is
where a section jam-packed with facts, figures,
formulae, measurements and tables begins. In a
sense, it is the Lancia Y’s identity card.
A document that introduces the car and explains
in technical jargon all the features that go together
to make it a model designed to give you superla-
tive driving satisfaction.VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION DATA ............... 145

(1) If special equipment is fitted (sunroof, air conditioner, tow hitch etc.) the unladen weight increases, thus reducing the payload as specified in the max-
imum loads allowed.
(2) Loads not to be exceeded: the driver must arrange the goods in the boot and/or load surface so that they comply with these limits.
(3) Including the weight of the roof rack.
