FRONT AIR BAG ON
PASSENGER’S SIDE fig. 18
It consists of an instant-inflating cush-
ion contained into a special recess A
in the dashboard, this cushion has a
volume bigger than that of the driver.
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 rea-
son, the seat belt must be worn at all
times. During side collisions the seat
belts hold passengers in the correct
position and prevent ejection from the
vehicle during very violent collisions.
Do not apply stickers or
other objects on the steer-
ing wheel in zone A-fig. 18, pas-
senger side airbag cover or side
upholstery on roof. Do not place
objects on the passenger side dash-
board because these could interfere
with the correct opening of the
airbag (e.g. mobile phones) and
cause severe injury to occupants.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER: Do
not arrange child seats
facing backwards if the passenger’s
front airbag is on. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could
cause fatal injuries to the baby.
WARNING
If the car is provided with
a front passenger airbag,
deactivate the airbag
when arranging a child
restraint seat on the front
seat. Move the passenger’s
seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the cradle
and the dashboard. Although this
is not mandatory by law, the
airbag should be immediately re-
activated when children are no
longer carried to ensure better pro-
tection to adults.

MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF
PASSENGER’S FRONT AIRBAG
AND SIDE BAG
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Whenever a child needs to be carried
on the front seat, the passenger’s front
airbag and the Side Bag (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) must
be deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
“will stay on glowing steadily until
reactivating the passenger’s front air
bag and the side bag (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
SIDE BAGS
(Side bags -
Window bags)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
SIDE BAGS fig. 19
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The side bags are arranged in the
front seat backrests and inflate in-
stantly to protect the chest of occu-
pants in case of medium-to-high
severity crashes.
To deactivate the passen-
ger’s front air bag and the
side bag (for versions/markets,
where provided), refer to ““Multi-
functional display” paragraph in
the “Dashboard and controls”
chapter.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest
of the front seats with cov-
ers which are not suitable for use
with side bags.

WINDOW BAGS fig. 20
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It is formed by two “curtain” window
bags are located behind the side roof
upholstery and are covered by special
trimming. They were designed to pro-
tect the head of front and rear pas-
sengers in case of side collisions,
thanks to the wide cushion inflation
surface. Lancia Dealership has covers suitable
for seats with side bags.

SAFETY
Always drive holding your
hands on the steering
wheel rim so that the airbag can
inflate freely in the case of need.
Do not drive with your body bent
forward. Keep your back straight
against the back rest. Have the
airbag system checked by a Lan-
cia Dealership if the car was
stolen, if theft was attempted, or if
the car was subjected to vandalism
or flooding.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying ob-
jects in your lap, in front
of your chest or between your lips
(pipe, pencils, etc.): they could
cause severe injury if the airbag is
deployed.
WARNING
The airbag deployment
threshold is higher than
that of the pretensioners. For col-
lisions in the range between the
two thresholds, it is normal for
only the pretensioners to be acti-
vated.
WARNING
When the key is turned to
MAR warning light
“(with passenger front airbag acti-
vated) will blink for a few seconds
to remind you that the airbag will
be deployed in the event of a colli-
sion after which it should go out.
WARNING
Do not wash the seats
with pressurised water or
steam (by hand or in automatic
seat washing stations).
WARNING
An airbag is not a replace-
ment for the seat belts but
increases their efficiency. Further-
more, since front airbags are not
deployed in low speed collisions,
side collisions, rear-end shunts or
roll-overs, the occupants are only
protected by the seat belts which
must be fastened at all times.
WARNING
Do not attach rigid objects
to the coat hooks and sup-
port handles.
WARNING
Airbags may be deployed
if another vehicle crashes
if the key is inserted and at MAR
also if the engine is not running
and the car is stationary. For this
reason, children must never sit on
the front seat, even if the car is not
moving. On the other hand, if the
key is inserted and at STOP, none
of the safety devices (airbag or
pretensioners) will be deployed in
a collision. Non deployment of the
devices in this case does not indi-
cate a system fault.

PARKING THE
VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒Stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
❒Engage a gear (on a slope, engage
first gear if the vehicle is faced up-
hill or reverse if it is faced down-
hill) and leave the wheels steered.
If the car is parked on a steep slope,
it is further advisable to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone. Avoid
parking for a long time with one
wheel on the pavement or steered
against the curb. Do not leave the key
in the ignition switch at MARto pre-
vent draining the battery. Always re-
move 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 Lancia Dealership to have the
handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled
up and the ignition key is at 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;
❒hold the button Apressed and
lower the lever; the warning light
xon the instrument panel will go
out.
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 stroke (groove
on the central tunnel), go to a Lancia
dealership to have the handbrake ad-
justed correctly.
fig. 1L0D0149m
Never leave children unat-
tended in the car. Always
remove the ignition key
when leaving the car and
take it out with you.
