prog ress (only  versions with DPF) (amber)
When the key i s turned to MAR, the warning
light  switches  on but it s hould switch off after a
few  seconds . The warning light turn s on cons tantly when
the DPF system needs  to eliminate the trapped pollutant s
(particulate) thr
ough the regeneration proce ss. 
The warning light doe s not come on ever y time the DPF
i s  being regenerated, rather onl y when the driving condi-
tions  are s uch that the driver need s to know it. To  switch
the warning light off, the car mu st be kept moving until
the regeneration proce ss is completed. 
On average, the process las ts  15 minutes . The best con-
ditions  to complete the regeneration proce ss are reached
driving the car at about 60 km/h with engine  speed over
2000 rpm. When this  warning light switches on, it does
not indicate a car failure and thu s it s hould not be taken
to a works hop. A dedicated message will appear on the
dis play  when the warning light s witches on (for ver-

Fuel reserve (amber)When the key  is turned to MAR, the warning
light  switches  on but it s hould switch off after
a few s econds. The warning light s witches on
when about 5 to 7 litre s of fuel are left in the tank.

The driving speed must always be suitable
for traffic and weather conditions and the
driver must always comply with the High-
way Code. The engine can also be switched off if the
DPF warning light is on; nevertheless, repeated in-
terruptions of the regeneration process could cause
an early deterioration of engine oil. For this reason,
always wait until the warning light switches off be-
fore stopping the engine as described above. It is not
advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the
car stationary.If the warning light remains  on or comes on whilst driving,
it means  that the injection system is  not working proper-
l y ; in particular, if the warning light come s on cons tant-
l y , this  indicates  a malfunction in the s upply/ignition  sys-
tem that could caus e excessive exhaust emissions , a pos-
s ible loss of performance, poor driveabilit y and high fuel
cons umption. On  some vers ions the dis play s hows  the ded-
icated message. Under the se conditions , you may  contin-
ue travelling at a moderate  speed without demanding ex-
cessive effort from the engine. Prolonged u se of the car
with the warning light on con stantly  may cau se damage. 
G o to a Lancia Dealer ship as  soon as  possible.
The warning light s witches off if the malfunction di sap-
pears , but it is  still  stor
ed by  the system.
EOBD/injection sy stem failure (amber)
Under normal condition s, when the ignition ke y
i s  turned to MAR, the warning light  switches  on,
but  should  switch off as  s oon as  the engine i s s tart-
ed.
U
Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possi-
ble if U warning light either does not light
up when the key is turned to MAR or if while
travelling the warning light comes on either con-
stantly or flashing (on some versions along with a
message in the display). The operation of the U
warning light may be checked by the traffic con-
trol authorities using specific devices. Comply with
the laws and regulations of the country where you
are driving.

Lancia Code sy stem failure (amber)
This  warning light (or  symbol on the display ),
when on cons tantly with the ignition key  turned
to MAR, indicates  a possible failure ( see “Lancia
Code  system”).
If the 
Ywarning light (or  symbol in the display) is flas h-

tected by  the engine immobilis er device (see “Lancia 
Code  system”).

graph “TPMS ” in this chapter).
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more
flat tyre s as handling may be compromised.  Stop the car,
avoiding har sh braking or  steering manoeuvres. Replace
the wheel immediately  with the space-saver wheel (for

TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trip computer is used to dis play information on car
operation when the ke y i s turned to MAR. This  function
i s  compos ed of separate trips , called “Trip A” and “Trip
B” which can monitor the entire mi ssion (journey) in a
reciprocally  independent manner.
Both function s can be res et (reset means  s tart of a new
journey ). “Trip A” is  used to dis play the figures  relat-
ing to:
– Range
– Trip dis tance
– Average cons umption
– Ins tantaneous  consumption
– Average s peed
– Travel time (driving time).
– Trip A Res et
“Trip B” may  be used to dis play the figures  relating to:
– Dis tance travelled B
– Average cons umption B
– Average s peed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
– Trip B Res et N.B. “Trip B” ma
y be dis abled (s ee “Activating T
 rip B”).
“Range” and “In stant cons umption” parameters  cannot
be res et.

Range
This  indicates  the approximate di stance which can be trav-
elled with the amount of fuel pre sent in the tank. The di s-

take place:
– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– in cas e of car parked with engine running for an ex-
tended period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected b y s everal fac-
tors : driving s ty le (s ee “Driving s ty le” in the “S tarting and
driving” chapter), ty pe of route (motorway , towns and
cities , mountain roads , etc.), conditions  of use (load, ty re
pressures , etc.). Trip planning mus t therefore take the
above into account.
