Do not cover the seat
backs in cars with side
bags.The airbag does not re-
place seat belts but rather
increases their effective-
ness. Furthermore, the airbag is
not fired in the event of low speed
front collisions, side collisions,
rear-end shunts and roll-overs. In
these cases, the passengers are
only protected by the seat belts
which for this reason must always
be fastened.
Do not wash the seat
back in cars with side
airbags with pressurised
steam or water in automatic seat
washing stations.
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD (European On Board Di-
agnosis) system fitted in this car com-
plies with Directive 98/69/CE (EURO
3).
This system continuously monitors
the vehicle emission system compo-
nents. Furthermore, the system warns
the driver of deterioration concerning
the emission system components by
means of the warning light on the
instrument panel.
The objective is to:
– monitor system efficiency;
– warn when failures can increase
emissions over the threshold estab-
lished by the European regulations;
– warn of the need to replace deteri-
orated components.
Furthermore, the system is equipped
with a connector for interfacing with
specific tools used to read the error
codes stored in the control unit mem-
ory along with a set of diagnostic and
engine specific parameters.
IMPORTANTAfter eliminating the
problem, your LANCIA Dealership
will run a bench test to fully check the
system. In some cases, a long road test
may be required.Contact a LANCIA Deal-
ership as soon as possible
if the warning light ei-
ther does not come on when the
key is turned to MAR or comes on,
with fixed or flashing light, when
travelling.
