2015 Lancia Ypsilon airbag

WARNING
The airbag deployment threshold is
higher than that of the pretensioners.
For collisions in the range between the two
thresholds, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace seat belts
but increases their efficiency.
Because front airbags are not deployed for
low-speed crashes, side collisions, rear-end
shunts or rollovers, occupants are protected,
in addition to any side bags, only by their
seat belts, which must therefore always
be fastened.

HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
When the key is turned to MAR position, the
warning light switches on but should switch off
after a few seconds.
IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on when
the car is in motion, check that the handbrake
is not on.
EBD FAILURE (red)
(amber)
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) andESCwarning lights with the
engine on, indicates either a failure of the EBD
system or that the system is not available. In this
case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and
the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system inspected
immediately. On some versions the display shows
the dedicated message.
ABS SYSTEM FAILURE (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR position switches on
the warning light, but it should switch off after
a few seconds. The warning light switches on (on
some versions, with a message on the display
and a symbol on the display) when the system is
not efficient. In this case the braking system
maintains its own efficiency unaltered but without
the advantage of the ABS system.
Drive carefully and contact a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.
AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position
illuminates the warning light, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly (on some
versions, with a message on the display and a
symbol on the display) to indicate an airbag
system fault.

The warning light (or symbol on the display)
comes on when the handbrake is on.

WARNING
If when turning the key to MAR the
warning light
does not turn on
or stays on whilst driving, a failure may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this
case the air bags 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
A fault with thewarning light is
indicated by flashing of the
warning light, which signals the
deactivation of the passenger side front air
bag. In addition, the airbag system
automatically disables the air bags on the
passenger's side (both front and side airbags
for versions/markets, where provided). In
this case, the warning light
may not
indicate a fault in the restraint systems.
Before continuing, contact a Lancia
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
PASSENGER/SIDE AIR BAGS
DEACTIVATED (amber)
The
warning light switches on when the front
passenger's airbag and side bag are disabled.
With front passenger airbag on, when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, the
warning light
switches on constantly for several seconds, flashes
for another few seconds and then should switch
off.
WARNING
A failure of thewarning light is
indicated by warning light
switching on. In addition, the airbag
system automatically disables the airbags on
the passenger's side (both front and side
airbags where provided). Before continuing,
contact a Lancia Dealership immediately
to have the system checked.
