FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is provided with front air bags for the driver and
the passenger, driver’s knee air bag (where provided) and
front side bags (side bags - window bags).
The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knee air
bags) have been designed to protect the occupants in the
event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by plac-
ing a cushion between the occupant and the steering wheel
or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect car’s occupants in
head-on crashes and therefore non-activation in other
types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs,
etc.) is not a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate in the
event of a head-on crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself between
the front occupant’s body and the structures which could
cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knee air
bags) do not replace but rather complement the seat belts,
which you are always recommended to wear, as specified
by law in Europe and most non-European countries.
In the event of a collision, a person not wearing a seat belt
may be thrown forward and come into contact with the
bag before it has fully opened. The protection offered by
the bag is reduced in such a case.The front airbags may not be activated in the following sit-
uations:
in collisions against highly deformable objects not af-
fecting the front surface of the car (e.g. bumper colli-
sion against guard rail, etc.);
car penetration under other vehicles or protective bar-
riers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
in these instances they would not provide any additional
protection compared with the seat belts, so their deploy-
ment would be improper. Non deployment in such cases
does not constitute a fault.
Do not apply stickers or other objects to the
steering wheel, the dashboard in the passen-
ger-side airbag area, the roof side upholstery
or the seats. Do not place objects (e.g. cell phones)
on the passenger-side dashboard because these
could interfere with the correct opening of the airbag
and cause severe injury to occupants.

DRIVER’S KNEE AIR BAG
(where provided) fig, 9
This consists of an instant-inflating cushion housed into
a special compartment provided for the purpose under the
lower steering column guard at driver’s knee level. It is de-
signed to give further protection in the event of frontal
crash.MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER’S
FRONT AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat, the passenger’s front air bag and the Side Bag
can be deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
“will stay on glow-
ing steadily until the passenger’s front air bag and the Side
Bag is reactivated.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the passenger’s front
air bag and the Side Bag (where provided), refer to para-
graphs “Multifunctional display” and “Reconfigurable
multifunctional display” in section “Getting to know your
car”.
SEVERE DANGER: Do not arrange child
seats facing backwards if the passenger’s
front airbag is on. Deployment of the airbag
in an accident could cause fatal injuries to
the baby. Always deactivate the passenger’s
airbag when placing a child seat on the front seat.
Move the passenger’s seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the child seat and the dash-
board. Although this is not mandatory by law, the
airbag should be immediately reactivated when
children are no longer carried to ensure better pro-
tection to adults.

With ignition key inserted and turned to
MAR, the air bags can activate even if the en-
gine is off and the car is at a standstill, if it
is hit by another vehicle. For this reason, children
must never sit on the front seat, even if the car is not
moving. We remind you that if the key is inserted
and turned to STOP, no safety device (air bag or
pretensioner) activates following a collision; non-
deployment in such cases is consequently not the
sign of a fault.
When the key is turned to MAR, the warn-
ing light “turns on, blinking for a few sec-
onds, to remind you that the passenger air
bag will activate in the event of a collision, then it
turns off.
Do not wash the seats with pressurized wa-
ter or steam (manually or at the automatic
washing stations).
The front airbags deploy in the event of more
severe collisions than those required for de-
ploying the pretensioners. For collisions in
the range between the two activation thresholds,
pretensioner activation is normal.
Do not hook rigid objects to clothes hangers
and support handles.
The airbag does not replace the seat belts, it
increases their effectiveness. Furthermore,
since front airbags are not deployed in low
speed collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts
or roll-overs, the passengers are only protected by
the seat belts which must be fastened at all times.

150STARTING UP AND DRIVING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, tow-
ing or driving downhill. This could cause a
flow of fuel into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER
IT HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
speed. Do not accelerate abruptly;
do not demand maximum performance for the first few
kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge starts
moving.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key 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.
A quick burst on the accelerator before turn-
ing off the engine serves absolutely no prac-
tical purpose, it wastes fuel and is damaging
especially to turbocharged engines.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the handbrake.
The car should be braked after a few snaps
of the lever, if it is not, contact a Lancia Deal-
ership to have it adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is engaged and the ignition key
is on MAR, the instrument panel warning light xwill
light.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
slightly lift the handbrake and press release button
A-fig. 1;
hold button A pressed and lower the lever. The x
warning light on the instrument panel will go out.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the car from moving accidentally.

224CARE AND MAINTENANCE
INTERIOR
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.
Never use flammable products, such as petrol
ether or rectified petrol to clean inside the car.
The electrostatic charges which are generat-
ed by rubbing during the cleaning operation may
cause a fire.
Don’t keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: risk of
explosion. Aerosol cans must not be exposed
to a temperature exceeding 50°C. When the
vehicle is exposed to sunlight, inner temperature can
greatly exceed this value.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of
water and neutral detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts with a moist
cloth and a solution of water and mild soap. Use specific
products for cleaning plastic, without solvents and specif-
ically designed to prevent damage to the appearance and
colour of the treated parts to remove grease and tough
stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petroleum to clean the
instrument panel.
