odometer.
Press button C (fig. 36) again to re-
turn to the odometer display.COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE (fig. 34)
If warning lamp Alights up, it
means that the engine coolant is too
hot.
Under normal conditions, the needle
of the temperature gauge should be-
tween 1/4 and 3/4 of the scale. If it
approaches the red section it means
the engine is being overtaxed and you
should reduce your demands on it.
IMPORTANTThe gauge will point
to low temperature and the excessive
temperature warning light Awill
come on to indicate a fault in the sys-
tem. Contact a LANCIA Dealership
to have the system checked.

CLOCK
Press control A (fig. 36)to adjust the
hour.
Press control Bto adjust the minutes.
Each time one of the control buttons
is pressed, the hours (A) or the min-
utes (B) will move forwards one unit. Even travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case it is better to stop
and turn off the engine. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.FUEL GAUGE (fig. 35)
If reserve warning light Bcomes on
it means there are between 5 and 8
litres of fuel left in the tank.
Do not drive when the tank is nearly
empty: possible changes in fuel deliv-
ery could damage the catalyser.
If the situation persists
even after the measures
you have taken, turn off
the engine and have the car seen to
at a LANCIA Dealership.

REV COUNTER (fig. 39)
If the needle is in the red zone it
shows your car’s engine is over-
revving. This is only acceptable for a
few moments.
IMPORTANTThe electronic injec-
tion control system progressively
blocks the flow of fuel when the
pointer goes into the red zone leading
to a progressive loss of engine power.

WARNING LIGHTS
The warning lights will come on in
the following cases:
LOW ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE (red)
When the pressure of the
engine oil falls below the normal level.
When the key is turned to MAR, the
light comes on but should go out the
moment the engine is started.
A delay in the light going out is only
acceptable if the engine is idling.
If the engine has been taxed heavily,
the light might flash when idling but
should go out on accelerating slightly.
v
BATTERY NOT
RECHARGED
PROPERLY (red)
When there is a fault in the current
generating system.
Contact a LANCIA Dealership as
soon as possible to prevent draining
the battery.
The warning lamp will light up when
the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
should go out as soon as the engine
has started.
w
If the warning lamp v
lights up while the car is
moving, switch the engine
off and get in touch with a LANCIA
Dealership.
HANDBRAKE ON/
LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL (red)
In three cases:
1.When the handbrake is engaged.
2.When the brake fluid level falls be-
low the minimum.
3.With the >warning light to indi-
cate an EBD electronic brake force
corrector failure.
x
If the xwarning light
comes on when travelling,
check whether the hand-
brake is engaged. If the warning
light stays on and the handbrake
is not engaged, stop immediately
and contact a LANCIA Dealership.
AIRBAG MALFUNCTION
(red)
When the system is ineffi-
cient.
û
The instrument panel
warning light should come
on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR and go out after ap-
proximately four seconds. Imme-
diately contact a LANCIA Dealer-
ship if the warning light either
does not come on or stays on when
travelling.
DOORS NOT CLOSED
PROPERLY (red)
When a door is not fully
closed.

LANCIA CODE
(amber)
In three ways (with ignition
key at MAR):
1.A single flash - indicates that the
key code has been recognised. The en-
gine can be started.
2.A constant light - indicates that the
key code has not been recognised. To
start the engine, follow the emergency
startup procedure described in the “In
an emergency” section.
3.A flashing light - indicates that the
car is not protected by the immo-
biliser system. The engine can be
started however.
¢
ABS (ANTI-LOCKING
SYSTEM) FAILURE
(amber)
When the ABS system is inefficient.
The normal braking system continues
to work but you should have the car
seen to at a LANCIA Dealershipas
soon as you can.
The warning lamp will light up when
you turn the key to MAR, but it
should go out as soon as the engine
starts.
>
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.EOBD SELF-
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
(amber)
In normal conditions, the warning
light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to MARand should go
out as soon as the engine is started.
The initial lighting up shows that the
warning light is working properly.
If the warning light either stays on or
comes on while travelling:
1.Fixed light - warning of a fuel
feed/ignition system failure which
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.HAZARD LIGHTS
(red) (flashing)
When the hazard lights are
switched on.

may increase emissions in exhaust or
cause possible drops in performance,
poor handling and high consumption.
In such conditions, you can continue
driving but you should not tax the en-
gine and you should moderate the
speed. Prolonged use with the warn-
ing light on can cause damage. Con-
tact a LANCIA Dealershipas soon
as possible.
The warning light will go out when
the failure disappears. In any case, the
system will store the error.
2.Flashing light - warning that the
catalyser can be damaged (see
“EOBD system” in this chapter).
If the warning light starts flashing, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and slow
the engine until the warning light
stops flashing. Continue driving at
moderate speed, preventing the warn-
ing light from coming on again. Con-
tact a LANCIA Dealershipas soon
as possible.PASSENGER AIRBAG
DEACTIVATED
(amber)
When the passenger airbag has been
deactivated by means of the specific
key switch.The warning light should
come on for approximately
four seconds and flash for
other four seconds only when the
key is turned to MAR and the pas-
senger’s front airbag switch is
turned to ON. If the warning light
either does not come on or comes
on when travelling, stop immedi-
ately and contact a LANCIA Deal-
ership.Contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship as soon as possible if
the warning light ei-
ther does not come on when the
key is turned to MAR or comes on,
with fixed or flashing light, when
travelling.
BRAKE LIGHTS
FAULTY (amber)
When one of the brake light
bulbs fails to work. A fault in the
third brake light is not indicated.

C- To switch the heated rear win-
dow on/off. It will switch on the door
mirrors demisting device at the same
time, if this feature is included.
D- To switch the climate control
system on and off.
FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
This is a safety cut-out which comes
into play in the case of an accident
and blocks the fuel supply, thereby
stopping the engine.
After an accident, turn the igni-
tion key to STOP to prevent the
battery running down. CONTROL BUTTONS (fig. 55)
These are situated between the cen-
tre air vents.
They only function when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
All buttons light up when pressed in. The use of hazard lights
is subject to the highway
code. Keep to the prescrip-
tions in force in the country you
are driving in.

A- To switch the front foglights
on/off. These lights can only be
switched on if the outside lights are
already on.
B- To switch the rear foglights on/
off. These lights can only be switched
on if the dipped headlights and/or the
front foglights are already on.
The rear foglights will automatically
be turned off when the engine is
switched off or when switching from
dipped beam headlights and/or front
foglights to side lights.
When the engine is restarted or
the dipped headlights are switched
back on in the presence of fog, the
rear foglight button must be
pressed to switch the rear foglights
on again.
IMPORTANTThe rear fog light
may annoy the drivers following you
when visibility is good. Consequently,
use the light only when required.

To close the bonnet:
1)Hold the bonnet up with one
hand and, with the other, remove rod
A (fig. 82)from recess Cand replace
it in its clip B.
2)Lower the bonnet until it is about
20 cm (8 ins) above the engine com-
partment.
3)Let it fall: the bonnet closes auto-
matically.
Always make sure the
bonnet is closed properly
so it will not open while
travelling.
2)Lift lever B (fig. 81).
3)Lift the bonnet, and release the
support rod A (fig. 82)from its clip B.
4)Place the tip of the support rod in
recessCof the bonnet.

Important. The bonnet
might fall violently if the
support rod is not posi-
tioned properly.
Scarves, ties and loose
garmets can get caught in
moving parts. This can be
extremely dangerous.

If repairs need to be car-
ried out inside the engine
compartment when this is
still hot, be careful not to burn
yourself and keep away from the
electric fan as this may cut in at
any time, even if the key is re-
moved from the ignition switch.
Wait until the engine has cooled.

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.
