Any diagnostic, repair or replace-
ment operations concerning the
airbag system must exclusively be
carried out at a Lancia Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped,
have the airbag system deactivated
at a Lancia Dealership first.
If the car changes hands, the new
owner must be made aware of the
indications given above and be given
this Owner Handbook.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front
airbags and side bags are activated
by the electronic control unit
according to the type of impact.
Consequently, missed activation of
one or more system components
does not indicate a fault in the sys-
tem.
MANUALLY DEACTIVATING
THE REAR SIDE BAGS
(where provided)
Side bags, protecting the chest of
the rear passengers, can be deacti-
vated as follows.
Use the ignition key to operate the
key switch A (fig. 93) located on the
right side of the boot. This switch
can be reached only with tailgate
open.
The key switch has two positions:
1) Passenger’s front airbag active
(position ON Õ): instrument panel
warning light
À
off. Do not carry
children on the front seat.
2) Passenger’s front airbag deacti-
vated (position OFF
À
): instrument
panel warning light
À
on. A child
may be carried on the front seat,
protected with a specific restraint
system.
IMPORTANT The car is delivered
with rear side bags deactivated
(position OFF
À
) and instrument
panel warning light
À
on.
Operate the switch only
when the engine is
stopped and the ignition
key is removed.
SEVERE DANGER:
In presence of
small size occu-
pants (children, etc.) on the rear
seats, it is necessary to deactivate
the rear side bags through the
apposite deactivation switch
