PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter reaches high temperatures
during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire risk.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that carries out a
continuous diagnosis of the emission-related
components in order to help protect the environment.ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical
accessories (that may gradually drain the battery),
visit aLancia Dealership.They can calculate the
overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s
electric system can support the required load.
CODE CARD

General warnings
The lighting up of a warning light is associated with a spe-
cific message and/or buzzer when applicable. These in-
dications are brief and precautionary and as such must
not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner’s Handbook, which
you are recommended to read carefully in all cases. Al-
ways refer to the information in this chapter in the event
of a failure indication.
Low brake fluid level (red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out af-
ter a few seconds. The warning light comes on
when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls be-
low the minimum level due to possible leaks in the circuit.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Handbrake on (red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the handbrake is on. If
the car is moving a buzzer is also triggered.
IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on with the ve-
hicle in motion, check that the handbrake is not engaged.

Diesel particulate filter clogged
(amber) (Multijet versions)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go off after
a few seconds. The warning light comes on when the diesel
particulate filter is clogged and the driving conditions do
not allow the automatic activation of the regeneration cy-
cle.

tem checked.
K
EOBD/injection system failure (amber)
Under normal conditions, the warning light
comes on when the ignition key is turned to
MAR, but should go off as soon as the engine is
started.
If the warning light remains on or comes on whilst driving,
this means that the injection system is not working prop-
erly; in particular, if the warning light comes on constantly,
this indicates a malfunction in the supply/ignition sys-
tem that could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a pos-
sible loss of performance, poor driveability and high fuel
consumption.
On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed. Un-
der 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. Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon
as possible.
The warning light goes out after the fault is cleared, and
the indication is stored in the system.

If the warning light is flashing, this indicates that the cat-
alytic converter may be damaged.
If the light flashes, release the accelerator pedal to lower
the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flash-
ing; continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid
driving conditions that may cause further flashing and con-
tact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.

TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL FEATURES
The Trip computer is used to display information on car
operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function
allows you to define two separate trips called “Trip A” and
“Trip B” for monitoring the car’s complete mission (trip)
in a mutually independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset - start of new mission).
Trip A can be used to display figures relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average fuel consumption
– Instantaneous fuel consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
– Trip A Reset
The Trip B function is used to display information relat-
ing to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average fuel consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
– Trip B ResetNote “Trip B” functions may be excluded (see “Enabling
Trip B”). “Range” and “Instantaneous fuel consumption”
parameters cannot be reset.
Values displayed
Range
Approximately indicates the distance the vehicle can trav-
el with the present amount of fuel in the tank. The message
“- - - -” will appear on the display in the following cases:
– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with the engine running for a long time.
IMPORTANT Changes in the range value can be affect-
ed by many factors: driving style (see “Driving style” in
“Starting up and driving”), type of route (motorway, ur-
ban cycle, mountain roads, etc…), conditions of use of the
car (load, tyre pressure, etc.). The above notes should
therefore be taken into consideration when planning a trip.
Distance travelled
This indicates the approximate distance covered from the
start of the new mission.
