SAFETY
Side bags are not a replacement of but
complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always wear,
as specified by law in Europe and
most non-European countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of side
crash, you can obtain the best protec-
tion by the system keeping a correct
position on the seat, allowing thus a
correct window bag unfolding.
IMPORTANT The front air bags
and/or side bags may be deployed if
the car is subject to heavy knocks or
accidents involving the underbody
area, such as for example violent
shocks, against steps, kerbs or low ob-
stacles, falling of the car in big holes
or sags in the road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust
will be released when the airbags are
deployed. 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 in a dusty residue:
this dust may irritate the skin and the
eyes. Wash with mild soap and water
in the event of exposure.The airbag system expires after 14
years (charge) and 10 years (clock
contact). Go to a Lancia Dealership to
have the devices replaced when the
expiration date approaches.
IMPORTANT Should an accident oc-
cur in which any of the safety devices
is activated, take the car to a Lancia
Dealership to have the devices acti-
vated replaced and to have the system
checked.
All inspection, repair and replacement
operations concerning the air bags
must only be carried out at a Lancia
Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped,
have the air bag system deactivated at
a Lancia Dealership first. If the car
changes ownership, the new owner
must be informed of the method of
use of air bags and the above warn-
ings and also be given this “Owner’s
Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front
airbags and front side bags are de-
ployed according to different logics on
the basic of the type of collision. Non
deployment of one of the devices does
not therefore indicate a system fault.
Do not rest your head,
arms or elbows on the door,
on the windows and in the window
bag area to prevent injury in case of
deployment.
Never lean head, arms and elbows
out of the window.
WARNING
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light ¬does not turn on or if it stays on
when travelling (together with the
message on the multifunctional
display, for versions/markets,
where provided) there could be a
failure in safety systems; in this
event air bags or pretensioners
may not be deployed in case of im-
pact or, in a minor number of
cases, they be deployed acciden-
tally. Contact Lancia Dealership
immediately to have the system
checked.
Do not cover the backrest of the
front seats with covers which are
not suitable for use with side bags.

A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and spare wheel call for some
precautions as listed below.
IMPORTANT Refer to the instructions
in the previous chapter if the car is
equipped with “Fix&Go (quick tyre
repair kit)”.
The spare wheel is specific
for your car. Do not use it
on cars of different models. Do not
use spare wheels of different mod-
els on your car. The space saver
spare wheel must only be used in
case of emergency. Use only for as
long as strictly necessary and drive
at a speed slower than 80 km/h. An
orange label is affixed on the spare
wheel summarising instructions
and limitations for use. Never re-
move or cover the label. Never ap-
ply a wheel cup on a space saver
spare. The following information
is provided in four languages on
the label: Warning! Suitable for
temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace with a standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not cover this
label.

Modifications or repairs to
the fuel feed system that
are not carried out properly or do
not take the system’s technical
specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small frag-
ments of glass to be projected out-
wards.
WARNING
BULB TYPES fig. 16
Various types of bulbs are fitted to
your car:
A All glass bulb: clipped into place.
Pull to extract.
B Bayonet bulbs: to remove this type
of bulb from its holder, press the
bulb and turn it anticlockwise.
C Cylindrical bulbs: release from the
contacts to extract.
D-E Halogen bulbs: release the fas-

L0D0178mfig. 16
The taillights and the
third brake light fit LEDs.
Contact a Lancia Dealership in
case of faults.
WARNING
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after hard rain or after
washing, the area of headlamps or rear
lights, may steam up and/or form drops
of condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the differ-
ence in temperature and humidity be-
tween the inside and the outside of the
glass which does not indicate a fault
and does not compromise the normal
operation of lighting devices. The mist
disappears quickly turning the lights
on, starting from the centre of the dif-
fuser, extending progressively towards
the edges.
