systems; under these circumstances, the airbags or
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 
“warning light flashing longer
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
side bag). In this case, the 
¬warning light may not
indicate failures in the retaining systems. Before
proceeding, contact a Lancia Dealership to have the
system checked immediately.
EBD failure 
If warning lights x
(red) and>(amber) are
on at the s ame time with the engine running,
this  indicates  an EBD system failure or that the
system is  not available. Earl y locking of the rear
wheels  may occur in the event of  sharp brak-
ing, possibly  causing the car to s werve. 
Drive very  carefully to a Lancia Dealer ship to have
