FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is supplied with front airbags
for both the driver and passenger, and
window bags (head protection sys-
tem). On driver’s request, it can be
supplied with front side airbags.
The front airbags (for driver and pas-
senger) have been designed to protect
the passengers sitting on the front
seats in the event of head-on crashes
of medium-high severity, by placing
the bag between the person and the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Non-deployment of the airbags dur-
ing other types of collisions (side col-
lisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.)
does not necessarily indicate a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the
bag to inflate in the event of a frontal
crash. The bag inflates instanta-
neously placing itself between the
front passenger’s body and the struc-
tures which could cause injury. It de-
flates immediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags are
not a replacement of, but comple-
mentary to 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 the seat belt may bethrown forward and come into con-
tact with the bag before it has fully
opened. The protection offered by the
bag is reduced in such a case.
Front airbags may not be activated in
the following situations:
❒during collisions against highly de-
formable objects that do not affect
the car front surface (e.g. bumper
collision against guard rail, heaps
of gravel, etc.);
❒jamming of the car underneath
other vehicles or protective barri-
ers (e.g. underneath a truck or a
guard rail); in this case, the bags
would offer no additional protec-
tion with respect to the seat belt
and their deployment is unneces-
sary. In these cases non-deploy-
ment of the airbag does not neces-
sarily indicate a system malfunc-
tion.
The front airbags on the driver’s and
passenger’s sides are designed and cal-
ibrated to protect the front seat pas-
sengers who wear the safety belts. The
volume of front airbags at max. infla-
tion fills most of the space between
the steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the pas-
senger.FRONT AIRBAG ON DRIVER’S
SIDE fig. 17
It consists of an instant-inflating bag
contained in a special recess in the
centre of the steering wheel.

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.

GENERAL WARNINGS
Lighting of a warning light is associated
to a specific message and/or buzzer
when applicable. These indications are
brief and precautionary and as such
must not be considered as exhaustive
and/or alternative to the information
contained in the Owner’s Handbook,
which you are recommended to read
carefully in all cases. Always refer to
the information in this chapter in
the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications on
the display fall into either of two cat-
egories:seriousfailure and less se-
riousfailure.
Seriousfailures indicate a “cycle” of
warning messages that stay on until
the cause of the failure is eliminated.
Less seriousfailures are indicated by
a limited warning “cycle”.
PressMODEto stop the warning cy-
cle in both cases. The warning light
on the instrument panel will stay on
until the cause of the failure is elimi-
nated.LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL (red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
When the ignition key is moved to
MARthe warning light turns on and
should go off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the
level of the brake fluid in the reservoir
falls below the minimum level due to
possible leaks in the circuit.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
x
Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the
handbrake is on.
On certain versions, if the car is mov-
ing the buzzer also triggers.
IMPORTANT If the warning light
turns on when travelling, check that
the handbrake is not engaged.
AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warn-
ing light turns on and should
go off after a few seconds.
The warning light stays on steady if
there is a failure in the airbag system.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
¬
If the warning light x
turns on when the car is
travelling (together with the mes-
sage on the display on certain ver-
sions) stop the engine immediately
and contact a Lancia Dealership.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light ¬does not turn on or stays on during
car travel (together with the mes-
sage on the multifunctional dis-
play, where provided), a failure
may have occurred in the restraint
systems. In this case the airbags or
pretensioners may not be deployed
after an impact or, in a minor
number of cases, they may be de-
ployed accidentally. Contact Lan-
cia Dealership immediately to
have the system checked immedi-
ately.
The failure of the warning
light
¬is indicated by the
warning light flashing longer than
the expected 4 seconds“, thus sig-
nalling that the front passenger
airbag is deactivated. In addition,
the airbag system automatically
disables the airbag on the passen-
ger’s side (both front and side
airbags, where provided). In this
case, the warning light
¬does
not necessarily indicate a failure
in the restraining systems. Contact
Lancia Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
WARNING
WARNING
HOT ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after
a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the
engine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on, proceed
as follows:
❒during normal travel: stop the
car, stop the engine and check that
the water level in the vessel is not
under the MINline. If this is the
case, wait for a few minutes for the
engine to cool down. Then, slowly
and carefully open the cap, top-up
with coolant and check that the
level is between the MINandMAX
reference lines on the vessel. Also
check for leakages. Should the
warning light turn on again at the
next start-up, contact Lancia Deal-
ership.
u
❒If the vehicle is used under severe
conditions(e.g. towing of trailers
uphill or fully loaded vehicle): slow
down and stop the car if the warn-
ing light stays on. Stop for 2 or 3
minutes with the engine running
and slightly accelerated to favour
better coolant circulation. Then stop
the engine. Check correct fluid level
as described above.
IMPORTANT Under severe use of the
car, keep the engine on and slightly
accelerated for a few minutes before
switching it off.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
LOW BATTERY
CHARGE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go out as
soon as the engine is started (with the
engine running at idle speed a brief
delay in going out is allowed). If the
warning light stays on, immediately
contact Lancia Dealership.
