IMPORTANT When making ma-
noeuvres requiring maximum steering
efforts, the steering wheel may be-
come hard to turn; this is normal and
is due to the intervention of the steer-
ing control electric motor overheating
protection system. No repairs are,
therefore, required. The power steer-
ing system will return to normal op-
eration the next time the car is used.
fig. 119L0D0419m
Under no circumstances
should after-market oper-
ations involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out, because they could
badly affect performance and
safety, cause the lapse of the war-
ranty and also result in car non-
compliance with homologation re-
quirements.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the power steering is in-
dicated by instrument panel warning
light
gcoming on together with the
message on the multifunction display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In the event of a failure of the electric
power steering, the car continues in
any case to be manoeuvrable with
mechanical steering so that it can be
taken soon as possible to a Lancia
Dealership.
Before servicing the car,
switch off the engine and
remove the key from the ignition
device, activating the steering lock,
especially when car wheels do not
touch the ground. If this is not pos-
sible (if the key must be on MAR or
the engine must be running), re-
move the main fuse which protects
the electric power steering.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is supplied with front airbags
for both the driver and passenger, and
window bags (head protection sys-
tem). On driver’s request, it can be
supplied with front side airbags.
The front airbags (for driver and pas-
senger) have been designed to protect
the passengers sitting on the front
seats in the event of head-on crashes
of medium-high severity, by placing
the bag between the person and the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Non-deployment of the airbags dur-
ing other types of collisions (side col-
lisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.)
does not necessarily indicate a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the
bag to inflate in the event of a frontal
crash. The bag inflates instanta-
neously placing itself between the
front passenger’s body and the struc-
tures which could cause injury. It de-
flates immediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags are
not a replacement of, but comple-
mentary to the seat belts, which you
are always recommended to wear, as
specified by law in Europe and most
non-European countries.
In the event of a collision, a person
not wearing the seat belt may bethrown forward and come into con-
tact with the bag before it has fully
opened. The protection offered by the
bag is reduced in such a case.
Front airbags may not be activated in
the following situations:
❒during collisions against highly de-
formable objects that do not affect
the car front surface (e.g. bumper
collision against guard rail, heaps
of gravel, 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. In these cases non-deploy-
ment of the airbag does not neces-
sarily indicate a system malfunc-
tion.
The front airbags on the driver’s and
passenger’s sides are designed and cal-
ibrated to protect the front seat pas-
sengers who wear the safety belts. The
volume of front airbags at max. infla-
tion fills most of the space between
the steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the pas-
senger.FRONT AIRBAG ON DRIVER’S
SIDE fig. 17
It consists of an instant-inflating bag
contained in a special recess in the
centre of the steering wheel.

FRONT AIRBAG ON
PASSENGER’S SIDE fig. 18
It consists of an instant-inflating bag
contained into a special recess Ain the
dashboard. The bag is larger in vol-
ume than the airbag on the driver’s
side. The airbags are not deployed in
the event of collisions of low severity
(for which the withholding action of
the seat belts is sufficient). For this
reason, the seat belt must be worn at
all times. During side collisions the
seat belts hold passengers in the cor-
rect position and prevent ejection
from the car during very violent col-
lisions.
Do not apply stickers/de-
cals or other objects on the
steering wheel, in area A-fig. 18 on
the passenger side airbag or side
upholstery on the roof side. Do not
place objects (e.g. cell phones) on
the passenger side dashboard, be-
cause they could interfere with cor-
rect deployment of the passenger
airbag and cause severe injury to
the persons in the car.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER: do not
arrange child seats facing
backwards if the front airbag on
the passenger’s side is enabled.
Airbag deployment during a crash
may cause fatal injuries to the
child.
WARNING
If the car is equipped with
a deactivation system for
the front passenger
airbag, disable it when-
ever the child seat needs to
be mounted on the front
seat. Move the passenger’s seat as
far back as possible to avoid con-
tact between the child seat and the
dashboard. Although this is not
mandatory by law, the airbag
should be immediately reactivated
when children are no longer car-
ried to ensure better protection to
adults.

Always drive keeping your
hands on the steering
wheel so that the airbag can inflate
without obstacles if it is deployed.
Do not drive with your body bent
forward. Keep your back straight
against the backrest. If the car is
stolen or an attempt is made to
steal it, or if the car has been sub-
jected to illegal attacks or flooding,
have the airbag system checked by
a Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying ob-
jects on your lap or oppo-
site the chest and keeping a pipe,
pencils, etc. between your lips in
order to avoid serious injuries due
to deployment of the airbag after a
collision.
WARNING
The front airbag is de-
ployed in the event of col-
lisions having a more severe nature
than those required to activate the
pretensioners. For collisions in
the range between the two activa-
tion thresholds, pretensioner acti-
vation is normal.
WARNING
Turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light “
(airbag on passenger’s side en-
abled) goes on and flashes for a
few seconds, thus reminding the
passenger that the airbag on
his/her side will deploy in the
event of a collision. After this time,
the light goes off.
WARNING
Do not wash the car seats
with water or pressurised
steam (both by hand or at auto-
matic washing stations).
WARNING
The airbag does not re-
place the safety belts, it
increases their effectiveness. Fur-
thermore, since front airbags are
not deployed after low speed colli-
sions, side collisions, rear-end
shunts or roll-overs, the passen-
gers are only protected by the seat
belts which must be fastened at all
times.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects
to cloth hangers and to the
support handles.
WARNING
If the ignition key is in
place and in the MAR po-
sition, the airbags are deployed
even with the engine off in the event
of a car crash against another
moving vehicle. For this reason,
children must never sit on the front
seat, even if the car is not moving.
On the other hand, whenever the
key is positioned on STOP, the
safety devices (airbags or preten-
sioners) do not deploy after a col-
lision. In this case non-deployment
of these devices does not indicate a
system malfunction.

The small spare wheel is
specific for your car. Do
not use it on cars of different mod-
els. Do not use spare wheels of dif-
ferent models on your car. The
small spare wheel must only be
used in an emergency. Never use it
for more than strictly necessary
and never exceed 80 km/h. On the
small spare wheel there is an or-
ange label, summarizing the main
warnings regarding small spare
wheel usage restrictions. Never re-
move or cover the label. Never ap-
ply any hub cap on the small spare
wheel. The label contains the fol-
lowing indications in four lan-
guages: Warning! For temporary
use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
the standard wheel as soon as pos-
sible. Do not cover this instruction.
WARNING
The driving characteristics
of the car are different
when the small spare wheel is in-
stalled. Avoid violent accelerations
and braking, sharp steering and
fast bending. The overall duration
of the small spare wheel is of about
3000 km, after which the relevant
tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install
a traditional tyre on a rim de-
signed to be used as a small spare
wheel. Repair and refit the stan-
dard wheel as soon as possible.
Using two or more small spare
wheels at the same time is forbid-
den. Do not apply grease to the bolt
threading before assembly: they
might come unscrewed.
WARNING
The jack may only be used
to replace wheels on the
car which it equips or other cars of
the same model. Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting
other car models. Never use the
jack to carry out repairs under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the
jack may cause the car to fall. Do
not use the jack for loads higher
than those shown on the label.
Never install snow chains on the
small spare wheel; if a front tyre
(driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, use a
standard wheel from the rear axle
and install the small spare wheel
on the rear axle. This way, with
two normal front driving wheels,
you can install the snow chains on
them, thus resolving the emergency.
