Low battery charge (red)
The warning light (or symbol in the display)
comes on when the ignition key is turned to
MAR, but it should go out as soon as the engine
has started (with the engine running at idle speed a brief
delay before going out is acceptable).
If the warning light stays on, glowing steadily or flash-
ing: contact a Lancia Dealership immediately.
w
Low engine oil pressure (red)
The warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out as
soon as the engine has started (a brief delay be-
fore going out is acceptable). If there is insufficient engine
oil pressure the display will show the dedicated message.
Engine oil degraded (Multijet versions with DPF)
This warning light flashes when the system detects that
the engine oil has degraded.
After the first indication, at each engine start-up the
v
warning light will continue flashing for about 60 seconds
and then every 2 hours until the oil is changed.
The display will show a dedicated message.
v
If the vwarning light flashes, promptly
contact your nearest Lancia Dealership to
have the oil changed and the warning light on
the instrument panel turned off.
“Dualdrive” electric power steering
failure (red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go off after a
few seconds.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on,
you will not have steering assistance and the effort required
to operate the steering wheel will be increased; steering is,
however, possible. In this case contact a Lancia Dealership.
The display will show a dedicated message.

Excessive engine coolant temperature
(red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out after
a few seconds. The warning light turns on when the en-
gine is overheated. If the warning light comes on, pro-
ceed as follows:
during normal travel: stop the car, stop the engine and
check that the water level in the reservoir is not un-
der the MIN line. If it is, wait for a few minutes for
the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open
the cap, top-up with coolant and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX references on the reser-
voir. Also check for leaks. Should the warning light
turn on again at the next start-up, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
u
If the vehicle is used under harsh conditions (e.g. tow-
ing of trailers uphill or fully loaded vehicle): slow down
and stop the car if the warning light stays on. Stop
for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slight-
ly accelerated to favour better coolant circulation. Then
stop the engine. Check correct liquid level as described
above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Doors not closed correctly (red)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
lights up when one or more doors are not closed
correctly. A buzzer will sound when doors are
open and the car is moving. On the multifunctional dis-
play, the warning light also comes on when the bonnet
and/or tailgate are not closed correctly. The display will
show a dedicated message.

DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque)
This system is built into the advanced ESP control unit
and provides steering corrections via the electric power
steering during driving. The system applies torque to the
steering wheel, increasing the feeling of safety, maintain-
ing control and reducing the impact of advanced ESP sys-
tem intervention.
Fault signalling
In the event of any operating faults occurring, the sys-
tem switches off automatically and the èwarning light is
lit up on the display together with a dedicated message.
In this case contact a Lancia Dealership.
SPORT FUNCTION (where provided)
The vehicle can be equipped with a system that allows you
to choose between two driving modes: normal and sport.
Press the SPORT button fig. 69 to set the sport driving
mode. This is characterised by increased acceleration re-
sponse and increased force required at the steering wheel
to obtain a more sporty drive.

When the function is active, “S” is displayed on the in-
strument panel. Press the button once again to deacti-
vate the function and return to the standard driving mode.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and caused by a system to prevent the mo-
tor from overheating. No servicing is required. The pow-
er steering system will return to normal operation the next
time the car is used.Under no circumstances should after-market
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device). This could nega-
tively affect performance and safety, cause the lapse
of the warranty and also result in vehicle non-com-
pliance with type-approval requirements.
Before servicing the car, switch off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition device to
activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels do not touch the
ground. If this is not possible (if the key must be on
MAR or the engine must be running), remove the
main fuse which protects the electric power steering.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) pro-
vides a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related com-
ponents. It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
U
warning light on the instrument panel together with a mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multifunctional display, when
these components are no longer in peak condition (see “In-
strument panel warning lights”).
The objective is:
to keep system efficiency under control;
to signal a fault which causes emission levels to in-
crease;
to signal the need to replace deteriorated components.
The system also has a diagnostic connector that can be in-
terfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it possible
to read the error codes stored in the control unit together
with a series of specific parameters for engine operation
and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the problem, to check the
system completely, Lancia Dealerships are obliged to run
a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which may also
call for a long journey.
Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible if warning light
Ueither does not light
up when the key is turned to MAR or if,
while travelling, the warning light comes on either
steadily or blinking (along with a message on the
reconfigurable multifunctional display). The op-
eration of warning light
Umay be checked by the
traffic police using specific devices. Respect the
laws in force in the country where you are driving.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
This is an electrically controlled power steering system
called “Dualdrive”. It is only operational with the ignition
key turned to MAR and the engine running; it can be cus-
tomised by the driver according to the driving conditions.
IMPORTANT If the ignition key is turned very quickly,
it may take 1-2 seconds before full power steering func-
tionality can be achieved.

ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING THE CITY
FUNCTIONfig. 73
Press button A to turn the function on/off.
When the function is active, the CITY warning light on
the instrument panel turns on.
With CITY function on, wheel effort is lighter, facilitat-
ing parking manoeuvres: the function is particularly help-
ful when driving in city centres.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the power steering is indicated by instru-
ment panel warning light gcoming on together with a
message on the reconfigurable multifunctional display. In
the event of electric power steering system failure, the
car can be driven with mechanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors independent
of the electric power steering could cause the illumination
of the gwarning light on the instrument panel.
In this case, stop the car immediately, switch off the en-
gine for about 20 seconds and then restart the engine. If
the gwarning light remains on, together with the mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multifunctional display, con-
tact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible
fig. 73L0E0057m
Under no circumstances should after-market
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device). This could nega-
tively affect performance and safety, cause the lapse
of the warranty and also result in vehicle non-com-
pliance with type-approval requirements.

IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and is caused by a system to prevent the
motor from overheating. No servicing is required. The
power steering system will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
(where provided)
The car may be equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring
system (T.P.M.S.). This system comprises a radio fre-
quency transmitter fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim
inside the tyre), which is able to send information on the
tyre inflation pressure of each wheel to the control unit.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE
T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
The fault indications are not stored and will therefore not
be displayed after the engine has been switched off and
then on again. If the fault conditions persist, the control
unit will send the relative indications to the instrument
panel only after the vehicle has been in motion for a short
time.
Before servicing the car, always switch off the
engine and remove the key from the ignition
to activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels do not touch the
ground. If this is not possible (the key must be on
MAR or the engine must be running), remove the
main fuse that protects the electric power steering.
The T.P.M.S.system is not able to detect sud-
den tyre inflation pressure losses (for exam-
ple when a tyre explodes). In this case stop
the car, braking with care and avoiding sharp steer-
ing actions.
