Side bags are not a replacement of,
but complementary to the seat belts,
which you are always recommended
to wear, as specified by law in Europe
and in most non-European countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side
crash, the system provides best pro-
tection if the passenger sits on the seat
in a correct position, thus allowing
correct window bag deployment.
IMPORTANT The front airbags
and/or side bags are deployed also if
the car is subject to strong collisions
or accidents involving the underbody
area, such as violent shocks against
steps, kerbs or low obstacles, falling
of the car in big holes or sags in the
road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust
is released when the airbags are de-
ployed. The dust is not harmful and
does not indicate the beginning of a
fire. Furthermore, the surface of the
deployed bag and the interior of the
car may be covered with residual
dust. This dust may irritate the skin
and the eyes. Use mild soap and wa-
ter to wash the parts of your body ex-
posed to this dust.The pyrotechnic charge of the airbag
system lasts for 14 years; the spiral
contact 10 years. Go to a Lancia
Dealership to have the devices re-
placed when the expiration date ap-
proaches.
IMPORTANT Should an accident oc-
cur activating any of the safety de-
vices, take the car to a Lancia Deal-
ership to have the activated devices
replaced and the system checked.
Airbag checking, repair and replace-
ment must only be carried out c/o the
Lancia Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped,
have the airbag system deactivated at
a Lancia Dealership first. If the car
changes ownership, the new owner
must be informed of how to use the
airbags and the above warnings: s/he
must also be given this “Owner’s
Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front
airbags and front side bags are de-
ployed differently according to the
type of collision. Non-deployment of
one of the devices does not necessar-
ily indicate a system malfunction.
Do not rest the head, arms
or elbows on the door, win-
dows and window bag area to avoid
possible injuries during inflation.
Never lean head, arms and elbows
out of the window.
WARNING
If the warning light ¬does
not turn on or stays on dur-
ing car travel when turning the key
to MAR, a failure may be present in
the restraint systems. If this is the
case, the airbags or pretensioners
may not be deployed after an impact
or, in a minor number of cases, they
may be deployed accidentally. Con-
tact a Lancia Dealership immedi-
ately to have the system checked.
Do not cover the front seat backrest
with upholstery or seat covers that
hinder deployment of the side bag.

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 prod-
ucts, such as petrol ether or
rectified petrol to clean inside the
car. The electrostatic charges which
are generated by rubbing during the
cleaning operation 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
PA R T S
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.

Do not keep aerosol cans in
the car: risk of explosion.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed to
a temperature exceeding 50°C.
When the vehicle is exposed to sun-
light, the internal temperature can
greatly exceed this value.
WARNINGSTEERING WHEEL/GEAR
LEVER COVERED
IN REAL LEATHER
These components must be cleaned
with mild soap and water only. Never
use spirit and/or alcohol based prod-
ucts.
Before using specific products for the
cleaning of the interiors, ensure
through careful reading that the in-
structions on the label of the product
do not contain alcohol and/or alcohol-
based substances.
If, during cleaning of the windscreen,
window cleaner accidentally drips
onto the leather of the steering wheel
/ gear lever knob, wipe away imme-
diately and then wash the area with
mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when in-
stalling a steering wheel lock device,
where applicable, to prevent damag-
ing the leather upholstery by rubbing.
