FRONT AIRBAG ON
PASSENGER’S SIDE fig. 18
It consists of an instant-inflating bag
contained into a special recess Ain the
dashboard. The bag is larger in vol-
ume than the airbag on the driver’s
side. The airbags are not deployed in
the event of collisions of low severity
(for which the withholding action of
the seat belts is sufficient). For this
reason, the seat belt must be worn at
all times. During side collisions the
seat belts hold passengers in the cor-
rect position and prevent ejection
from the car during very violent col-
lisions.
Do not apply stickers/de-
cals or other objects on the
steering wheel, in area A-fig. 18 on
the passenger side airbag or side
upholstery on the roof side. Do not
place objects (e.g. cell phones) on
the passenger side dashboard, be-
cause they could interfere with cor-
rect deployment of the passenger
airbag and cause severe injury to
the persons in the car.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER: do not
arrange child seats facing
backwards if the front airbag on
the passenger’s side is enabled.
Airbag deployment during a crash
may cause fatal injuries to the
child.
WARNING
If the car is equipped with
a deactivation system for
the front passenger
airbag, disable it when-
ever the child seat needs to
be mounted on the front
seat. Move the passenger’s seat as
far back as possible to avoid con-
tact between the child seat and the
dashboard. Although this is not
mandatory by law, the airbag
should be immediately reactivated
when children are no longer car-
ried to ensure better protection to
adults.

DEVICES
Always drive keeping your
hands on the steering
wheel so that the airbag can inflate
without obstacles if it is deployed.
Do not drive with your body bent
forward. Keep your back straight
against the backrest. If the car is
stolen or an attempt is made to
steal it, or if the car has been sub-
jected to illegal attacks or flooding,
have the airbag system checked by
a Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying ob-
jects on your lap or oppo-
site the chest and keeping a pipe,
pencils, etc. between your lips in
order to avoid serious injuries due
to deployment of the airbag after a
collision.
WARNING
The front airbag is de-
ployed in the event of col-
lisions having a more severe nature
than those required to activate the
pretensioners. For collisions in
the range between the two activa-
tion thresholds, pretensioner acti-
vation is normal.
WARNING
Turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light “
(airbag on passenger’s side en-
abled) goes on and flashes for a
few seconds, thus reminding the
passenger that the airbag on
his/her side will deploy in the
event of a collision. After this time,
the light goes off.
WARNING
Do not wash the car seats
with water or pressurised
steam (both by hand or at auto-
matic washing stations).
WARNING
The airbag does not re-
place the safety belts, it
increases their effectiveness. Fur-
thermore, since front airbags are
not deployed after low speed colli-
sions, side collisions, rear-end
shunts or roll-overs, the passen-
gers are only protected by the seat
belts which must be fastened at all
times.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects
to cloth hangers and to the
support handles.
WARNING
If the ignition key is in
place and in the MAR po-
sition, the airbags are deployed
even with the engine off in the event
of a car crash against another
moving vehicle. For this reason,
children must never sit on the front
seat, even if the car is not moving.
On the other hand, whenever the
key is positioned on STOP, the
safety devices (airbags or preten-
sioners) do not deploy after a col-
lision. In this case non-deployment
of these devices does not indicate a
system malfunction.

PARKING THE CAR
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
❒when on a slope, engage a gear
(engage first gear if the car is
faced uphill or reverse if it is faced
downhill) and leave the wheels
steered.
When parking the car on a steep
slope, it is advisable to also place a
wedge or a rock under the wheels.
PROLONGED parking with a wheel
on the pavement or steered against a
step should be avoided. Do not leave
the ignition key on MARto prevent
draining the battery. Always remove
the key when you leave the car.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located be-
tween the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the
handbrake.
Four or five notches are normally suf-
ficient to lock the car on flat terrain,
while nine or ten may be necessary on
a steep slope with the car loaded. IMPORTANT If this is not the case,
contact a Lancia Dealership to have
the handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled
up and the ignition key is on MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
xwill turn on.
Proceed as follows to release the
handbrake:
❒slightly lift the handbrake and
press release button A-fig. 1;
❒keep button Apressed and lower
the lever. Warning light
xwill
turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying
out this operation to prevent the car
from moving accidentally.
IMPORTANT If the handbrake lever
tends to reach end of its stroke
(groove on the central console), con-
tact a Lancia Dealership to have the
handbrake adjusted.

Never leave children unat-
tended in the car. Always
remove the ignition key
when leaving the car and
take it out with you.

Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine
compartment should be carefully
washed, without directing the jet
against electronic control units. Have
this operation performed at a spe-
cialised workshop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation
on a cold engine and with the key at
STOP. After the washing operation,
make sure that the various protections
(e.g. rubber caps and guards) have
not been removed or damaged.
Never use flammable
products, such as petrol
ether or rectified petrol to clean in-
side the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by
rubbing during the cleaning oper-
ation may cause a fire.
WARNINGINTERIORS
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 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 moist-
ened with a solution of water and
neutral detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts
with a moist cloth and a solution of
water and mild soap. Use specific
products for cleaning plastic, without
solvents and specifically designed to
prevent damage to the appearance
and colour of the treated parts to re-
move grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or
petroL to clean the glass of the in-
strument panel or other plastic parts.
