FRONT AND SIDE
AIRBAGS
FRONT AIRBAGS (fig. 85)
Description and operation
The front airbag (driver and pas-
senger) is a safety device which is im-
mediately triggered in the event of a
front impact.
It consists of an instantly inflatable
bag housed in a special compartment
located:
– in the centre of the steering wheel
on the driver’s side;
– in the dashboard on the passen-
ger’s side (larger bag).
The front airbag (driver and pas-
senger) is a device which protects the
occupants of the car during a head-on
collision of a medium-high degree.
The system was designed to protect
from injury caused by the body crash-
ing to the steering wheel or the dash-
board. IMPORTANTCars fitted with ABS
must always be fitted with the wheel
rims, tyres and brake linings of the
type and make recommended by the
Manufacturer.
The system also includes the EBD
electronic brake correction (Electronic
Brake Distributor) which, through the
control unit and the ABSsensors fur-
ther enhances the braking system.
The car is fitted with an
electronic brake distribu-
tor (EBD). If warning lights
>andxlight up simultaneously
when the engine is running, this
indicates an EBD fault. This
means that violent braking could
cause early locking of the rear
wheels causing the car to skid.
Drive very carefully to the nearest
LANCIA Dealership to have the
system checked.
If only warning light >
switches on when the en-
gine is running, this usu-
ally indicates an ABS fault. In such
cases the braking system is still ef-
ficient, although the anti-locking
device does not function. The EBD
system may also be less efficient.
Go to a LANCIA Dealership imme-
diately, taking care not to brake
suddenly, and have the system
checked.
If the xbrake fluid low
warning light comes on,
stop the car immediately
and contact the nearest LANCIA
Dealership. Fluid leaks from the
hydraulic system, can compromise
brake system operation, both tra-
ditional systems and systems with
ABS.

Consider the space re-
quired by extra mats: even
a small problem to the
braking system may indicate addi-
tional brake pedal stroke is re-
quired with respect to normal.
Water, ice and salt sprin-
kled on the road deposit
on the brake disc and re-
duce effectiveness the first time
you brake.
WHEN TRAVELLING
– The first rule of safe driving is pru-
dence.
– Prudence also means putting your-
self into a position where you can pre-
dict wrong or imprudent behaviour
from other drivers.
– Stick closely to the rules of the
road in the particular country where
the car is being driven and, above all,
do not exceed speed limits.
– Ensure that, besides yourself, all
the other passengers in the car have
their seat belts fastened, that children
are sitting in the appropriate child
seats and any animals are in special
compartments.
– You should be physically fit and
mentally alert before setting out on
long journeys.Driving when you are not
mentally alert, drunk, un-
der the influence of drugs
or certain medicines is dangerous
both for you and other road users.
Always fasten both front
and back seat belts in-
cluding child seat seat belt
if fitted. Travelling with the seat
belts unfastened increases the risk
of injury or death if you are in a
collision.
Pay attention when in-
stalling additional spoil-
ers, alloy wheel rims and
caps that are not standard. They
could reduce the brake ventilation
and as a consequence, the braking
efficiency if you brake suddenly
and repeatedly, or when driving
downhill.Do not drive with objects
on the floor in front of the
driver’s seat. Objects
could get stuck under the pedals
making accelerating and braking
impossible.

Signal that the car is sta-
tionary as per the highway
code: hazard lights, warn-
ing triangle, etc.
Any passengers must get out of
the car, especially if it is heavily
laden, and keep out of the way of
traffic while the wheel is being
changed.
If the ground is sloping or
bumpy, place wedges or other suit-
able material under the wheels to
stop the car from moving.The space-saver spare
wheel is specific to the ve-
hicle; do not use it on other
models and do not use spare
wheels designed for other models
on your car.
If you change the type of wheels
fitted (alloy rims instead of steel
ones), you must also change the se-
curing bolts for others of suitable
dimensions.
The space-saver spare wheel
must only be used in the event of
an emergency, and then only for as
little as possible and at no more
than 80 km/h. Driving will feel dif-
ferent with the space-saver spare
wheel fitted. Avoid sharp braking
and acceleration, sudden swerving
and fast cornering.The space-saver spare wheel has
a life-span of about 3000 km after
which the tyre should be replaced
with another of the same type.

– Take out the tools and remove the
space-saver spare wheel.
IMPORTANTThe indications
which follow must be complied with
to ensure that the jack and the spare
wheel are used correctly.
It must be remembered that:
– the jack weighs 1.85 kg;
– the jack does not require adjust-
ments;
– the jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks, it must be changed with an-
other new jack;
– only the jack handle described in
this chapter can be fitted onto the
jack.
3. CHANGING THE WHEEL1)Remove the wheel cup with a
screwdriver (LS versions).
2)Loosen the wheel bolts of the
wheel to be changed by about 1 turn.
3)If the car is fitted with alloy rims,
shake the car to facilitate removing
the rim from the wheel hub.
4)Turn the jack handle Cso that
the jack opens partially.
5)Place the jack at the point marked
by a notch H (fig. 3)near the wheel to
be changed at approximately 10 cm
towards the centre of the car (fig. 3).6)Turn the handle Cto open the
jack until the jack groove is correctly
inserted in the sidemember ribbing.
7)Warn any other people present
that the car is going to be lifted. Other
people must stay clear and not touch
the car until it is back on the ground.
8)Turn jack handle and lift the ve-
hicle until the tyre is a few centime-
tres above the ground.
The jack handle must turn freely,
without touching the ground to avoid
scraping your hand.
Do not touch moving parts of the
jack (screws and joints) as they can
cause injuries. If you dirty your hands
with grease, clean them carefully.
9)Undo the 4 bolts completely and
remove the wheel cover (Nversion)
and wheel.
