WARNING
IMPORTANT When the airbag in-
flates it emits a small amount of
dusts. These dusts are harmless and
is not the beginning of a fire; then the
unfold cushion surface and the car in-
teriors can be covered by a dusty re-
mains: this dust can irritate skin and
eyes. In case of contact, wash yourself
using neutral soap and water.
The airbag system has a validity of 14
years for the pyrotechnic charge and
10 years for the coil contact (see the
plate located in the glove compart-
ment).
As this date approaches, contact Lan-
cia Dealership to have it replaced.
IMPORTANT Should an accident oc-
cur in which any of the safety devices
is activated, take the car to a Lancia
Dealership to have the devices acti-
vated replaced and to have the system
checked.
All control, repair and replacement
operations concerning the air bags
must only be carried out c/o Lancia
Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped,
have the airbag system deactivated at
a Lancia Dealership first. If the car
changes ownership, the new owner
must be informed of the method of
use of air bags and the above warn-
ings and also be given this “Owner
handbook”.
IMPORTANT The triggering of pre-
tensioners, front air bags and front
side bags is decided in a differentiated
manner depending on the type of
crash. The failure to deploy one or
more of them does not mean that the
system is not working properly.
