Cleaning DPF (particulate filter) in
progress (only Multijet versions with
DPF - amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR (ON),
the warning light switches on but it must switch off after
a few seconds. The warning light comes on constantly to
notify the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate
captured pollutants (particulate) by the regeneration
process. The warning light does not come on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions re-
quire notification of the driver. To switch the warning light
off, the car must stay in motion until regeneration has been
completed. The process normally takes about 15 minutes.
The optimum conditions to end the process are achieved
by keeping the car in motion up to 60km/h with an en-
gine speed higher than 2,000 rpm. This light coming on
is not a car defect and therefore the car does not need to
go to the workshop. A specific message will appear on
the display when the warning light comes on (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
h
Fuel reserve (amber)
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 comes on
when about 5 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
The display will show a dedicated message.
IMPORTANT The warning light will blink to indicate a
system failure. Go to a Lancia Dealership to have the sys-
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,
U
Steering corrector not available
This warning light (or symbol on the display) comes on
when the steering corrector is not available. The display
will show a dedicated message.Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traf-
fic conditions, the weather and speed limits. The
engine may be turned off while the DPF light is
on; however, repeated interruption of the regeneration
process may result in premature exhaustion of engine oil.
For this reason it is always advisable to wait for the li-
ght to go off before turning off the engine, following the
instructions appearing above. It is not advisable to com-
plete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.

Umay be checked by the traffic police using spe-
cific devices. Follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.
Advanced ESP system (amber)
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 does not go off
or stays on together with the LED on the ASR button when
travelling, contact a Lancia Dealership. On certain versions
a dedicated message is displayed. If the warning light

To switch the warning light off, carry out the following
initialization procedure:
❍turn the ignition key to the ON position;
❍turn the steering wheel fully both clockwise and anti-
clockwise (to move from the position with the wheels
straight);
❍turn the ignition key to the OFF position and then turn
it back ON.
If the
áwarning light does not go out after a few
seconds, seek assistance from a Lancia Dealership. 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.
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.

vided) detects that the inflation pressure of one or more
tyres is unsuitable for the speed being maintained, it lights
up the warning light or symbol (together with a message
shown on the display) (see paragraph “Insufficient tyre
inflation pressure” in this chapter). The warning light
remains on until the vehicle speed is reduced to below a
certain threshold (see paragraph “T.P.M.S. system” in this
chapter).
IMPORTANT reduce speed immediately if this occurs.
Tyre overheating could irreparably compromise tyre per-
formance and life, and in extreme cases may even cause

THE LANCIA CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking system which increases
protection against an attempted theft of the car. It is auto-
matically activated when the ignition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during ignition by an antenna built in-
to the ignition device. This signal is the ‘password’ which
changes at each ignition and which the control unit uses
to recognise the key and allow ignition.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning the ignition key
to MAR, the Lancia CODE system control unit sends an
acknowledgement code to the engine control unit to de-
activate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the control unit of the Lancia
CODE system has acknowledged the code received from
the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Lancia
CODE system deactivates the functions of the electronic
engine control unit.
If the code is not recognised correctly during ignition, the
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) comes on.In this case turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if
the lock persists try again with the spare set of keys. Con-
tact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the en-
gine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be
stored by the system control unit. To have new keys mem-
orised (up to a maximum number of eight keys), contact
a Lancia Dealership and be ready to present all the keys
you have at present, the CODE card, a personal identity
document and the car ownership documents. The codes
of any keys not presented during the memorising proce-
dure will be deleted. This is to prevent lost or stolen keys
from starting the engine.
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) lit up
during driving
❍If the Ywarning light (or symbol in the display)
comes on, this means that the system is running a self-
diagnosis test (caused, for example, by a voltage drop).
❍If the Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) remains
on, contact a Lancia dealership.
The electronic components inside the key may
be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp
knocks.

IMPORTANT The engine inhibitor function is guaranteed
by the Lancia CODE, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is extracted from the starter de-
vice.
SWITCHING ON THE ALARM
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with the
remote control towards the vehicle and press and release
button
Á.
Excluding some versions for specific markets, the system
produces an acoustic warning (beep) and enables door
locking.
Before the alarm is enabled, a self-diagnosis test is run:
if a fault is detected, the system emits another sound warn-
ing and a message is shown on the display, (see “Instru-
ment panel warning lights”).
In this case switch off the alarm by pressing
Ë, check that
all the doors, bonnet and tailgate are closed correctly; then
switch the alarm back on by pressing
Á.
If a door or the bonnet is not correctly closed, it will be ex-
cluded from the testing by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the
doors, bonnet and tailgate are correctly closed, a failure
has occurred in system operation. Contact a Lancia Deal-
ership.IMPORTANT Centrally locking the doors using the met-
al insert on the key does not activate the alarm.
IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is configured in com-
pliance with the regulations existing in the different coun-
tries.
SWITCHING OFF THE ALARM
Press button
Ëon the key with the remote control.
The following operations are performed (excluding some
versions for specific markets):
❍the direction indicators flash twice;
❍two brief acoustic signals are emitted (“BEEP”);
❍the doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is re-
leased using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not
disabled.
