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/decals
or other objects on the
steering wheel, in area A-fig. 18 on
the passenger side airbag or side up-
holstery 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 whenever the
child seat needs to be
mounted on the front seat.
Move the passenger’s seat as far
back as possible to avoid contact be-
tween the child seat and the dash-
board. Although this is not manda-
tory by law, the airbag should be
immediately reactivated when chil-
dren are no longer carried to ensure
better protection to adults.

warning light comes on either steady

FRONT PASSENGER
AIRBAG DISABLED
(amber)
The warning light“comes
on when the front passenger’s airbag
is disabled.
With the front passenger’s airbag on,
when the ignition key is moved to
MAR, the warning light “comes on
steadily for about 4 seconds; then, it
continues to flash for 4 seconds and
finally goes off.
“
When the warning light
comes on, “it indicates
that a light failure has occurred
¬.
In addition, the airbag system auto-
matically disables the airbag on the
passenger’s side (both front and side
airbags, where provided). Contact
Lancia Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
WARNING
ABS SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after
a few seconds.
The warning light lights up when the
system is either not working or not
available. In this case, the braking
system preserves its efficiency unal-
tered without, however, offering the
extra operating capacity of the ABS
system. Drive carefully and go to a
Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
The display will show the dedicated
message.

When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warn-
ing light turns on and should
go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when
about 6 to 7 litres of fuel are left in
the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light
flashes to indicate a system failure. Go
to a Lancia Dealership to have the
system checked.
