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.

is travelling (together with the message on the
display on certain versions) stop the engine
immediately and contact a Lancia Dealership.
Brake pad wear (amber)
The warning light (or symbol on the display)
lights up when the front brake pads show signs
of wear; under these circumstances have them re-
placed as soon as possible. The display will show the ded-
icated message.
d
Airbag failure (red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go off af-
ter a few seconds. The warning light stays on,
glowing steadily, if there is a failure in the air bag sys-
tem. The display will show a dedicated message.
¬
If, when the key is turned to MAR, the ¬
warning light does not come on or if it stays
on with the vehicle in motion (together with
the message on the display) there could be a fail-
ure in the safety systems; under these circumstances
the air bags or pretensioners may not be triggered
in the event of an impact or, more rarely, they could
be triggered accidentally. Contact Lancia Dealer-
ship to have the system checked immediately.
EBD failure (red)
If warning lightsxand are lit up at the same
time with the engine running, this indicates an
EBD system failure or that the system is not
available. Early locking of the rear wheels may
occur in the event of violent braking, causing
the car to swerve.
Drive very carefully to a Lancia Dealership to have
the system inspected. The display will show a dedicated
message.

WARNING Because the vehicle is equipped with a wear
detection system only for the front brake pads, when these
are replaced the rear brake pads should also be checked
for wear.

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.

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.

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.
Petrol engines only
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.
