2009 Lancia Delta belt

140SAFETY
The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knee air
bags) are designed and calibrated to protect front seat pas-
sengers wearing seat belts.
Their volume at the moment of maximum inflation fills
most of the space between the steering wheel and the dri-
ver, between the lower steering column guard and the
knees on driver’s side and between the dashboard and the
passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of frontal col-
lisions of low severity (for which the withholding action
of the seat belts is sufficient). Seat belts must always be
used. In the event of frontal crash they ensure the correct
positioning of the occupant. FRONT AIRBAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE, fig. 7
This consists of an instant-inflating bag contained in a
special recess in the centre of the steering wheel.
FRONT AIRBAG ON PASSENGER’S SIDE, fig. 8
This consists of an instant-inflating bag contained into a
special recess in the dashboard: this bag has a larger vol-
ume than that of the driver.

SAFETY145
2
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.

Change engine oil and oil filter (or every 24 months)(**)
Change brake fluid (or every 2 years)

(*) Regardless of the km covered, the timing belt should be replaced every 4 years for particularly demanding use (cold climates,
driving in the city, idling for a long time) or in any case every 5 years.
(**) If the car is mainly used in cities or less than 10,000 km a year, change the engine oil and filter every 12 months.
For 1.4 Turbo Jet versions, in order to guarantee correct operation and prevent serious damage to the engine, it is essential to ob-
serve the following:
- only use spark plugs specifically certified for Turbo Jetengines; all spark plugs should be of the same type and brand (see the “En-
gine” paragraph);
- carefully observe the spark plug replacement intervals detailed in the Scheduled Service Plan;
- it is advisable to have this performed at a Lancia Dealership.

ing lights”) or every 2 years.

204CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Perform the following inspections more frequently than
shown on the Scheduled Service Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition and wear;
check cleanness of bonnet and boot locks and linkage
cleanness and lubrication;
visually inspect the condition of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust – fuel supply
- brakes) rubber elements (gaiters – hoses - bushes
etc.);check battery charge and fluid level (electrolyte); (see
“Battery - Charge and electrolyte level check” in this
chapter);
visually inspect the condition of auxiliary drivebelts;
check and if necessary replace the pollen filter; in par-
ticular it should be replaced if a decrease in the air flow
into the passenger compartment is detected;
check the air filter and replace, if required.
