DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained in a special recess
in the centre of the steering wheel.
PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained in a special recess
A in the dashboard and the cushion has a volume bigger than that of
the driver. In minor crashes (for which the restraining action of the
seat belts is sufficient), the air bags are not deployed. Also in this case
it is of vital importance to wear the seat belts since in case of side
crash they guarantee proper positioning of the occupant and prevent
the occupants to be pitched out of the car in case of violent crashes.
WARNING
On cars provided with front passenger's air bag, the air bag shall be deactivated
when placing a child' seat on the front passenger's seat. The front passenger seat
shall be adjusted in the most backward position to prevent any contact between
child’ seat and dashboard. Even if not compulsory by law, you are recommended to
reactivate the air bag immediately as soon as child transport is no longer necessary.

SERIOUS DANGER: The car is fitted with an air bag on the passenger’s side. Never
place cradle child’s seats on the front passenger’s seat of cars fitted with passenger’s
air bag since the air bag activation could cause serious injuries, even mortal.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects on the
steering wheel, in area A of the passenger’s
air bag on the passenger's side air bag or
on the side covering. Never put objects on
the dashboard on the passenger’s side (e.g.
mobile phones) because they may interfere
with the correct air bag deployment and
cause serious injuries to the car occupants.

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
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED (petrol and Multijet versions)
Proceed as follows:
❒Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at
medium revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❒Do not drive at full performance for the initial
kilometres. Wait until the coolant temperature
gauge starts moving.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on
with fixed light, the emergency start-up can be
performed by using the CODE card code
(see section “In an emergency”).STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow
the engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off
by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the
engine compartment to fall.

USE OF
THE CAR
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond repair.
A quick burst on the accelerator before turning off the engine serves absolutely no practical
purpose, it wastes fuel and is damaging especially to turbocharged engines.
Remember that the servobrake and power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake
pedal and steering wheel.

GLOW FLAT TYRE WARNING LIGHT (where provided)
The instrument panel warning light comes on (together with the
dedicated message on the display and the buzzer), when the pressure
of one of more tyres falls below the preset threshold. In this way the
T.P.M.S. system will warn the driver that there is/are tyre/s
dangerously flat (risk of punctured tyre/s).
IMPORTANT If a tyre is punctured, stop immediately to safeguard car
driveability. Avoid sharp braking and steering. Replace immediately
the punctured tyre with the space-saver spare wheel (where provided)
or repair the punctured tyre using the kit provided for the purpose
(see section “In an emergency”) and contact Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing, towing,
or coasting downhill) as this could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage
it beyond repair.IMPORTANT Remember that until the engine has
started the brake booster and electrical power
steering systems will not work and a greater effort
will therefore be required to press the brake pedal
or turn the steering wheel.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is stationary in compliance with local regulations:
hazard warning lights, warning triangle etc. Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay away from
oncoming traffic while the wheel is being changed on. If the wheel is being
changed on a steep or badly surfaced road, place the wedges or other suitable
material under the wheel to stop the car.
