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
Thewarning light flashes to
indicate
warning light failure. In
this case, for versions/markets where
provided, the explosive charges of the
passenger airbag are deactivated.
