SIDE AIR BAGS (Side bag - Window bag)
(where fitted)
SIDE BAGS (where fitted)
They are formed of an instantaneously-inflating cushion housed in
the back rest of front seats and their task is to increase protection of
the occupants in the event of a side crash of medium-high severity.
L0D0147m
L0D0148m
Covers for Side bag seats are available at Lineaccessori Lancia.
WINDOW BAGS (where fitted)
They are “curtain” cushions located behind the side coverings of the
roof and covered by proper finishings, studied for the head protection
to offer the best protection to the front and rear occupants in the
event of side crash, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.
The side air bag is not a replacement of but complementary to the use
of belts, which should always be worn, as specified by law in Europe
and most non European countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash, you can obtain the best
protection by the system keeping a correct position on the seat,
allowing thus a correct window bag unfolding.
IMPORTANT The front air bags and/or side bags may be deployed if
the car is subject to heavy knocks or accidents involving the
underbody area, such as for example violent shocks against steps,
kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the car in big holes or sags in the
road.
Do not cover the back rest of front seats
with trims or covers there are not set for
the use of side bags.

WARNING
Always keep your hands on the steering wheel rim when driving, so that if the air
bag is triggered, it can inflate without meeting any obstacles which could cause
serious harm to you. Do not drive with the body bent forwards, keep the seat back
rest in the erect position and lean your back well against it.
WARNING
If warning light Fdoes not come on when turning the key to MAR or if it stays
on when travelling it could indicate a failure in restraint systems; in this case air
bags or pretensioners could not trigger in the event of an accident, or in a
restricted numbers of cases they could trigger accidentally. Stop the car and
contact Lancia Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
WARNINGDo not cover the back rest of front seats with trims or covers there are not set for
the use of side bags.
If the car has been stolen or an attempt to steal it has been made, if it has been
subjected to vandals or floods, have the air bag system checked by Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
PARKING
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the car is faced
uphill or reverse if it is faced downhill) and leave the wheels
steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a
steep slope. Avoid leaving the car parked with a wheel on the
sidewalk or steered against the kerb. Do not leave the ignition key at
MAR to prevent draining the battery. Always remove the key when
you leave the car.

INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped under
the mats (due to water dripping off shoes,
umbrellas, etc.) which could cause oxidisation of the
sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC AND VELVET
PA R T S
Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
Velvet is cleaned better if the brush is moistened.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a
solution of water and neutral detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
For routine cleaning, wipe with a cloth with water
and neutral non-abrasive detergent. Remove grease
or persistent stains with appropriate products
designed to preserve the appearance of components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petroleum to clean
the instrument panel or other plastic parts.STEERING WHEEL/GEAR LEVER KNOB
WITH GENUINE LEATHER COVERING
These components shall only be cleaned with water
and neutral soap. Never use spirit or alcohol-based
products.
Before using special products for cleaning interiors,
read carefully label instructions and indications to
make sure they are free from spirit and/or alcohol-
based substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen with special glass
products, some drops fall on the leather covering of
the steering wheel/gear lever knob remove them
immediately and then clean with water and neutral
soap.
IMPORTANT Take the utmost care when engaging
the steering lock to prevent scratching the leather
covering.
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car: they might explode. Aerosol cans must never
be exposed to a temperature above 50°C. The temperature inside the car exposed
to the sun may go well beyond that figure.
