The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a specific indication on the
control panel.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI advises
the driver to engage a higher gear,
while when the SHIFT DOWN icon (
SHIFT) is shown, the GSI advises the
driver to engage a lower gear.
The indication on the instrument panel
remains until the driver shifts gear or the
driving conditions return to a situation
where gearshifting is not required to
improve consumption.

43

Warning light What it means
INJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, the warning light switches on when the key is turned to MAR (on some versions, with
a dedicated message on the display), but should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly; in
particular, if the warning light switches on steadily, this indicates a malfunction in the supply/ignition system
that could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high
fuel consumption.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed without demanding
excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on may cause damage.
Contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.
Petrol engines only
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged.
In this case, it is necessary to release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the
warning light stops flashing. Continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that
may cause further flashing and contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
31)
WARNING
31)Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible if thewarning light either does not light up when the key is turned to MAR or if while
travelling the warning light switches on or flashes (along with a message and a symbol on the display on some versions). The operation of the
warning light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where
you are driving.
53

Warning light What it means
FUEL RESERVE / LIMITED RANGE
This warning light switches on when 5 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank. When the remaining range is
lower than approx. 50 km (or equivalent value in miles), on some versions the display will show a dedicated
message.
IMPORTANT The warning light will flash to indicate a system failure. Go to a Lancia Dealership to have the
system checked.
ESC SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
ESC system activation
Flashing of the warning light while driving indicates the intervention of the ESC system.
ESC system failure
If the warning light does not switch off or remains on (together with a dedicated message and a symbol on
the display on some versions) whilst driving, contact a Lancia Dealership.
Hill Holder failure
This warning light comes on, on some versions together with the
symbol and a message is displayed,
in the event of a fault with the Hill Holder system.
In this case, go to a Lancia Dealership.
REAR FOG LIGHT
The warning light switches on when the rear fog light is turned on. The LED over the button
will also
light up.
54
KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
GLOW PLUG HEATING/GLOW PLUG HEATING FAILURE (diesel versions)
Glow plugs
This warning light switches on when the key is turned to MAR. It will switch off as soon as the heater plugs
have reached a preset temperature.
The engine can be started as soon as the warning light switches off.
IMPORTANT At moderate or high ambient temperatures the warning light may stay on for an extremely
short time.
Glow plug preheating failure
The warning light flashes (together with a dedicated message and a symbol on the display on some
versions) to indicate a failure in the glow plugs preheating system.
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the fault fixed as soon as possible.
WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (diesel versions)
The warning light remains on constantly when driving (together with a dedicated message and a symbol on
the display on some versions), to indicate the presence of water in the diesel fuel filter.
32)
WARNING
32)The presence of water in the fuel system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If thewarning light switches on, contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible for bleeding. If this problem is indicated immediately after
refueling, water may have entered the fuel tank. In this case, immediately turn off the engine and contact your Lancia Dealership.
55

Warning light What it means
GENERAL FAILURE INDICATION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction reconfigurable display) switches on in the
following circumstances. In these cases contact a Lancia Dealership to have the fault fixed as soon as
possible.
Speed limit exceeded(for versions/markets where provided)
The warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction reconfigurable display) switches on when the
speed limit set in the Setup Menu is exceeded.
When the vehicle exceeds this value an acoustic signal is emitted, and on some versions a dedicated
message is shown on the display.
Fuel cut-out system operation/fault(for versions/markets where provided)
The warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction reconfigurable display) switches on together
with a dedicated message on the display, in the event of fuel cut-off system intervention/fault.
Start&Stop fault(for versions/markets where provided)
This warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction reconfigurable display) switches on together
with a dedicated message on the display, when a Start&Stop fault is detected.
Rain sensor failure(for versions/markets where provided)
The warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction reconfigurable display) switches on together
with a message on the display, when a fault is detected on the rain sensor.
57

Warning light What it means
iTPMS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Tyre pressure low
The warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction reconfigurable display) switches on constantly
to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than the recommended value, in order to guarantee long tyre life
and low fuel consumption, or to indicate a slow loss of pressure.
In this way the iTPMS warns the driver that one or more tyres may be flat and probably punctured. In this
case it is advisable to restore the correct pressure value. Once the normal operating conditions of the
vehicle are restored, carry out the Tyre reset procedure.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction reconfigurable display) flashes for about 75
seconds and then stays on constantly (along with a dedicated message on the display) to indicate that the
system is temporarily deactivated or faulty. The system goes back to normal operation when the operating
conditions allow it. If this is not the case, carry out the Tyre reset procedure after restoring the normal
operating conditions.
If the malfunction warning persists, contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
59

Under special conditions (e.g. car
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the
"Fix&Go Automatic" kit, fitting snow
chains, fitting different tyres on the
axles) the system may give false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated,
the warning light
flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a dedicated message.
This warning is displayed also after the
engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.
WARNING
67)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
68)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not to
be considered a system to replace
maintenance or a safety system.69)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.
70)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
71)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
72)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
