pretensioners may not be deployed in the event of
an impact or, more rarely, they could be deployed
accidentally. Contact a Lancia Dealership to have
the system checked immediately.
The failure of the ¬warning light is indi-
cated by the

than the expected 4 seconds, which signals
that the front passenger airbag is deactivated. In
addition, the airbag system automatically deacti-
vates the passenger side airbags (front airbag and

proceeding, contact a Lancia Dealership to have the
system checked immediately.
