IMPORTANT Do not rest your head, arms or
elbows on the door, windows or the area in which
the window bag is located to avoid possible injury
during airbag inflation.
IMPORTANT Never lean your head, arms or
elbows out of the window.
IMPORTANT
Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised
steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing
stations).
The front airbags and/or side bags may be
deployed if the car is subject to violent impacts
involving the underbody area (e.g. violent impacts
against steps or kerbs, big holes or dips in the
road etc.).
When the airbag deploys it emits a small amount
of dust: the dust is harmless and does not indicate
the beginning of a fire. The dust may irritate the
skin and eyes however: in this case, wash with
neutral soap and water.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement must be
carried out at a Lancia Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the airbag system
deactivated at a Lancia Dealership.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed in
different ways, according to the type of impact.
Failure to deploy of one or more of the devices
does not indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
If when turning the key to MAR the
warning light
does not switch on or
stays on whilst driving, a failure may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this
case the airbags or pretensioners may not be
deployed in an impact or, in a lower number
of cases, they may be deployed accidentally.
Before continuing, contact a Lancia
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
WARNING
For versions/markets where
provided, in the
event of
warning
light failure, the
warning light switches on
and the explosive charges of the passenger
airbag are deactivated.
WARNING
On vehicles with side bags, do not
cover the front
seat backrests with
extra covers.
