If the xwarning lightturns on when travel-
ling (with the message on the display) stop
the car immediately and contact a Lancia
Dealership.
Brake pad wear (amber)
The warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when the front brake pads show
signs of wear; under these circumstances have
them replaced as soon as possible. The display shows the
dedicated message.
IMPORTANT Because the car is equipped with a wear de-
tection system only for the front brake pads, when these
are replaced the rear brake pads should also be checked
for wear.
d
Airbag failure (red)
When the key is turned to the MAR position
the warning light comes on but should go out
after a few seconds. The warning light stays on
constantly if there is a failure in the air bag system.
The display will show a dedicated message.
¬
If the ¬warning light does not come on
when the key is turned to MAR or if it stays
on with the car in motion (together with the
message on the display) there could be a fault in the
restraint systems; under these circumstances, the
air bags or pretensioners may not be deployed in
the event of an impact or, more rarely, they could
be deployed accidentally. Before continuing your
journey, contact a Lancia Dealership to have the
system checked immediately.
The failure of warning light ¬is indicated
by warning light
“flashing for longer than
the usual four seconds, thus signalling that
the front passenger airbag is deactivated. In ad-
dition, the air bag system automatically disables
the air bags on the passenger side (both front and
side air bags). In this case, the warning light
¬
may not indicate failures in the retaining system.
Contact a Lancia Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.
EBD failure (red)
If warning lightsxand>are on at the same
time with the engine running, this indicates
an EBD system failure or that the system is
not available. Early locking of the rear wheels
may occur in the event of sharp braking, pos-
sibly causing the car to swerve.
Drive very carefully to a Lancia Dealership to
have the system inspected immediately. The display will
show a dedicated message.
