FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is provided with front airbags
for the driver and passenger and win-
dow bags (head protection system). It
may be provided with optional front
side bags.
The front driver / passenger air bags
have been designed to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of head-on
crashes of medium-high severity, by
placing the cushion between the oc-
cupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect
car’s occupants in front crashes and
therefore non-activation in other types
of collisions (side collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make
the bag inflate in the event of a frontal
crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously
placing itself between the front occu-
pant’s body and the structures which
could cause injury. It will deflate im-
mediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags are
not a replacement of but complemen-
tary to the belts, which you are rec-
ommended to always wear, as speci-
fied by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.In the event of a collision, a person
not wearing a seat belt may be thrown
forward and con into contact with the
bag before it has fully opened. The
protection offered by the cushion is
reduced in such a case.
Front air bag may not be activated in
the following situations:
❒in collisions against highly de-
formable objects not affecting the
car front surface (e.g. bumper col-
lision against guard rail, etc.);
❒jamming of the car underneath
other vehicles or protective barri-
ers (e.g. underneath a truck or a
guard rail); in this case, the bags
would offer no additional protec-
tion with respect to the seat belt
and their deployment is unneces-
sary. No deployment in such cases
is consequently not the sign of a
fault.
The front airbags (driver and passen-
ger) are designed and calibrated to
protect front seat occupants who are
wearing seat belts. The volume of
front air bags at max. inflation fills
most of the space between the steer-
ing wheel and the driver and between
the dashboard and the passenger.FRONT AIR BAG ON DRIVER’S
SIDE, fig. 17
It consists of an instant-inflating cush-
ion contained in a special recess in the
centre of the steering wheel.

GENERAL WARNINGS
Warning lights are associated to a spe-
cific message and/or buzzer when ap-
plicable. Indications are brief and pre-
cautionaryand as such must non be
considered as exhaustive and/or alter-
native to the information contained in
the Owner’s Handbook, which you are
recommended to read carefully in all
cases. Refer to the information in this
chapterin the event of a failure in-
dication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications on
the display fall into either of two cat-
egories:seriousfaults and less seri-
ousfaults.
A warning cycle will be repeated in
case of severefailures until the case
of the problem is eliminated.
A shorter warning cycle will be run in
case of less severefaults.
PressMODEto stop the warning cy-
cle in both cases. The warning light
on the instrument panel will stay on
until the cause of the fault is elimi-
nated.LOW BRAKE FLUID
(red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
When the ignition key is moved to
MAR, the warning light turns on and
should go off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light comes on when the
level of the brake fluid in the reservoir
falls below the minimum level due to
possible leaks in the circuit.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
x
Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the
handbrake is on.
On certain versions, if the car is mov-
ing the buzzer will also sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light
turns on when travelling, check that
the handbrake is not engaged.
AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warn-
ing light turns on and should
go off after a few seconds.
The warning light stays on steady if
there is a failure in the airbag system.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
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, where provided) there
could be a failure in safety sys-
tems; in this event air bags or pre-
tensioners may not be deployed in
case of impact or, in a minor num-
ber of cases, they be deployed ac-
cidentally. Contact Lancia Dealer-
ship immediately to have the sys-
tem checked.
Failure of warning light
¬is indicated by warning
light“which will blink for longer
than the normal 4 seconds indicat-
ing that the front passenger airbag
is off. The airbag system will au-
tomatically deactivate the passen-
ger airbag (front and side, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided). In
this case, warning light
¬may not
indicate fault to the system. Con-
tact Lancia Dealership immedi-
ately to have the system checked.
WARNING
WARNING
HOT ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after
a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the
engine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on, proceed
as follows:
❒during normal travel: stop the
car, stop the engine and check that
the water level in the vessel is not
under the MINline. In this case,
wait for a few minutes for the en-
gine to cool down when slowly and
carefully open the cap, top-up with
coolant and check that the level is
between the MINandMAXrefer-
ences on the vessel itself. Also check
for leakages. Go to a Lancia Deal-
ership if the warning should come
on when the engine is started again.
u
❒In the case of demanding use
(e.g. towing trailers uphill or car at
full load): slow down and stop the
car if the warning light stays on.
Stand for 2 or 3 minutes with the
engine running and slightly acceler-
ated to promote a better circulation
of coolant. Then stop the engine.
Check correct liquid level as de-
scribed above.
IMPORTANT After taxing operation,
it is advisable to keep the engine on
and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
LOW BATTERY
CHARGE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go out as
soon as the engine is started (with the
engine running at idle speed a brief
delay in going out is allowed). Go to
a Lancia Dealership immediately if
the warning light stays on.

when the ignition key is moved to
MAR, the warning light “comes on
steadily for about 4 seconds; then, it
continues to flash for 4 seconds and
finally goes off.

WARNING
EOBD engine control system
failure
In normal conditions, when the igni-
tion key is moved to MAR, the warn-
ing light turns on and should go off
after engine start-up. This indicates
that the warning light is working cor-
rectly. If the warning light either stays
on or comes on while travelling:
❒steady light: a fault in the supply/
ignition system which could cause
high emissions at the exhaust, pos-
sible lack of performance, poor
handling and high consumption
levels.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
In these conditions, you may continue
travelling at moderate speed without
demanding excessive effort from the
engine. Prolonged use of the car with
the warning light on may cause dam-
age. Go to a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible. If warning light will
go out after the fault goes away but it
will be stored in the system.
❒blinking light: indicates the possi-
bility of damage to the catalyser
(see “EOBD system” in section
“Dashboard and controls”). If the light flashes, release the accel-
erator pedal to lower the speed of the
engine until the warning light stops
flashing; continue the journey at mod-
erate speed, trying to avoid driving
conditions that may cause further
flashing and contact Lancia Dealer-
ship as soon as possible.
