SAFETY169
With ignition key inserted, on MAR, even if
the engine is off, the air bags can activate
with the car stopped, if it is hit by another
vehicle. For this reason, children must never sit on
the front seat, even if the car is not moving. We re-
mind you that if the key is inserted and turned to
STOP, no safety device (air bag or pretensioner) is
activated following a collision; non-deployment in
such cases is consequently not the sign of a fault.
When the key is turned to MAR, the warn-
ing light “turns on, flashing for a few sec-
onds, to remind you that the passenger air
bag will activate in the event of a collision, then it
turns off.
Do not wash the seats with pressurized wa-
ter jets or steam (manually or at automatic
washing stations).
The front air bags deploy in the event of more
severe collisions than those required for de-
ploying the pretensioners. For collisions in
the range between the two activation thresholds,
pretensioner activation alone is normal.
Do not hook rigid objects to clothes hangers
and support handles.
The airbag does not replace seat belts; it in-
creases their effectiveness. Furthermore,
since front air bags are not deployed in low
speed collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts or
roll-overs, the passengers are only protected by the
seat belts which must be fastened at all times.

STARTING AND DRIVING173
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the
ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure.
If, when the ignition key is turned to MAR, the instru-
ment panel warning light
Yremains on together with
warning light U, turn the key to STOP and then back to
MAR; if the warning light remains on, try the other keys
provided with the vehicle.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❍engage the handbrake;
❍put the gear lever into neutral;
❍turn the ignition key to MAR: the warning lights
mandYon the instrument panel will turn on;
❍wait for the warning lights
Yandmto turn off.
The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;
❍fully depress the clutch pedal without operating the
accelerator;
❍turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning light
mgoes out. Waiting too long will waste the work
done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.IMPORTANT With the engine cold, the accelerator pedal
must be fully released when you turn the ignition key to
AV V.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the
ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure. If
instrument panel warning light
Yremains lit when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, turn the key to STOP and
then back to MAR; if the warning light remains lit, try the
other keys provided with the vehicle. Contact a Lancia
Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.
Warning light mwill flash for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged cranking
to indicate a fault with the glow plug heat-
ing system. You can use the car as usual if the en-
gine starts but you should contact a Lancia Deal-
ership as soon as possible.
