AIRBAGThe car is fitted with front airbags for driver and
passenger, front side bags for driver and passenger
chest-shoulder protection (for versions/markets,
where provided), and window bags for protecting
the heads of front occupants.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front (driver and passenger) airbags protect
the front seat occupants in the event of head-on
impacts of medium-high severity, by placing
the bag between the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-deployment in other types of
impacts (side impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.)
does not indicate a system malfunction.
Front (driver and passenger) air bags are not a
replacement of but complementary to the seat
belts, which you are recommended to always wear,
as specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat
belt move forward and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in these
circumstances.Front airbags may not activate in the following
situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformable
objects not involving the front surface of the car
(e.g. wing collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒car wedging under other vehicles or protective
barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they may not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their deployment
would be inappropriate. In these cases, non-
deployment does not indicate a system
malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the
dashboard in the passenger side airbag area,
on side upholstery on roof and on the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger side of the dashboard since they
could interfere with correct inflation of
the passenger airbag and also cause serious
injury to the passengers.

Driver side front airbag
This consists of an instantly inflating bag
contained in a special compartment in the centre
of the steering wheel fig. 108.
WARNING
Always drive keeping your hands on
the steering wheel rim so that the
airbag can inflate freely if necessary. Do not
drive with your body bent forward. Keep
your back straight against the backrest.
Passenger side front airbag
This consists of an instantly-inflating bag
contained in a special compartment in the
dashboard fig. 109: this bag has a larger volume
than that on the driver's side.
WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: never place
cradle child seats facing backwards
on the front passenger seat of cars
with active passenger side airbag.
Deployment of the airbag following an
impact could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Always deactivate the passenger side
airbag when placing a child seat on the front
seat. The passenger seat must also be
positioned back as far as possible in order
to avoid the child seat from coming into
contact with the dashboard. Although this is
not mandatory by law, the airbag should
be immediately reactivated when children
are no longer transported to ensure better
protection for adults.

Deactivation of passenger side front airbag
and side bag for chest/pelvis protection (for
versions/markets, where provided)
If a child must be carried on the front seat,
deactivate the front passenger side airbag and side
bags for chest/shoulder protection (for versions/
markets where provided). With the airbags
deactivated, the
warning light switches on in
the instrument panel.
IMPORTANT To deactivate the airbags see the
description in the "Getting to know your car"
chapter, "Menu Options" paragraph.
SIDE BAGS (Side bag - Window bag)
Side bag
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These comprise two types of bags located in the
front seat backrests fig. 110 which protect the
chest and shoulder area of the occupants in the
event of a side impact of medium-high severity.

Window bag
This consists of two "curtain" bags housed behind
the side upholstery of the roof fig. 111 and
covered with finishing elements, which protect the
heads of front occupants in the event of a side
impact thanks to a wide bag deployment area.
The deployment of side bags in the event of side
impacts of low severity is not required.
In the event of a side impact, the system provides
best protection if the passenger sits on the seat
in a correct position, thus allowing correct window
bag deployment.
IMPORTANT Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.IMPORTANT Do not rest your head, arms or
elbows on the door, windows or the area in which
the window bag is located to avoid possible injury
during airbag inflation.
IMPORTANT Never lean your head, arms or
elbows out of the window.

IMPORTANT
Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised
steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing
stations).
The front airbags and/or side bags may be
deployed if the car is subject to violent impacts
involving the underbody area (e.g. violent impacts
against steps or kerbs, big holes or dips in the
road etc.).
When the airbag deploys it emits a small amount
of dust: the dust is harmless and does not indicate
the beginning of a fire. The dust may irritate the
skin and eyes however: in this case, wash with
neutral soap and water.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement must be
carried out at a Lancia Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the airbag system
deactivated at a Lancia Dealership.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed in
different ways, according to the type of impact.
Failure to deploy of one or more of the devices
does not indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
If when turning the key to MAR the
warning light
does not switch on or
stays on whilst driving, a failure may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this
case the airbags or pretensioners may not be
deployed in an impact or, in a lower number
of cases, they may be deployed accidentally.
Before continuing, contact a Lancia
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
WARNING
For versions/markets where
provided, in the event of
warning
light failure, the
warning light switches on
and the explosive charges of the passenger
airbag are deactivated.
WARNING
On vehicles with side bags, do not
cover the front seat backrests with
extra covers.

WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects 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 expiry dates of the explosive
charge and the clock spring are
shown on a specific label contained in the
glove box. Contact a Lancia Dealership
to have them replaced when the expiry date
approaches.
WARNING
If your car has been subject to theft,
attempted theft, vandalism, or
flooding, contact a Lancia Dealership to
have the airbag system checked.
WARNING
The airbags may also be deployed
when the car is not moving, if the key
is in the ignition and turned to MAR or when
the engine is off, if the car is hit by another
moving vehicle. For this reason, children
must never occupy the front seat, even if the
car is not moving. On the other hand, if
the key is inserted in STOP position, none of
the safety devices (airbags or pretensioners)
will be deployed in the event of impact.
Non-deployment of these devices does not
indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the warning light
(with
passenger side front airbag active) switches
on for a few seconds to remind you that
the passenger airbag will be deployed in an
impact, after which it should switch off.
WARNING
The
warning light flashes to
indicate
warning light failure. In
this case, for versions/markets where
provided, the explosive charges of the
passenger airbag are deactivated.
