Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possi-
ble 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 steady
or blinking (on some versions along with a message
on the display). The operation of the warning light
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
flashes when driving, this indicates that the Advanced ESP
system has cut in.
á
Hill holder system failure (amber)
Theáwarning light turns on to indicate a Hill
holder system failure. In this case, contact a
Lancia Dealership as soon as possible. Alter-
natively, on some versions the *symbol is
lit up on the display.
The display will show a dedicated message.
á
*
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.

If the Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) is blinking,
this means that the vehicle is not protected by the engine in-
hibitor device (see “Lancia Code system” in chapter 1).
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have all the keys stored.
Alarm failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
A fault with the alarm system is signalled by this warn-
ing light (or symbol in the display) coming on. Contact a
Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Break-in attempt

This warning light (or symbol on the display) comes on
when a break-in attempt is detected. Contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.
The display will show a dedicated message.The warning light (amber), or symbol on the display (red),
lights up when the inflation pressure of one or more tyres
falls below a preset level. In this way the T.P.M.S. system warns
the driver that one or more tyres may be dangerously flat and
liable to puncture (see “ T.P.M.S. system” in this chapter).
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more
tyres flat as vehicle driveability may be compromised. Stop
the car, avoiding harsh braking or steering manoeuvres. Re-
place the wheel immediately with the small spare wheel (for
versions/markets, where provided) or carry out a repair us-
ing the dedicated kit (see the paragraph on “Replacing a
wheel” in chapter 4) and contact a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.
Check tyre pressure
This warning light (for versions/markets, where provid-
ed) comes on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
it should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light (or symbol in the display) lights up to
indicate that a tyre is flat (see “T.P.M.S. system ” in this
chapter).
Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will show the
indications corresponding to each tyre in sequence. Restore
the correct inflation pressure values as soon as possible (see
paragraph “Cold inflation pressures” in chapter “6”). Insufficient tyre inflation pressure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
comes on when the ignition key is turned to MAR,
but it should go off after a few seconds.

❍forced disablement (air recirculation always off, air
drawn in from the outside), - the LED on button
Tshould be off;
❍forced engagement (air recirculation always on), the
LED on button
Tshould be lit up.
When OFF is pressed, the climate control system auto-
matically activates air recirculation (the LED on button
Tshould be on). It is still possible to activate outside
air recirculation (LED on the button is off) and vice ver-
sa, by pressing button
T.
With the OFF button pressed (LED on the button is lit
up), it is not possible to enable the AQS (Air Quality Sys-
tem) function.
IMPORTANT The air recirculation system makes it pos-
sible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the pos-
sibility of the windows misting up inside, especially if the
climate control system is not switched on. It is advisable
to switch internal air recirculation on while in queues or
in tunnels to prevent the introduction of polluted air. Do
not use the function for a long time, particularly if there
are many passengers on board, to prevent the windows
from misting up.Enabling the AQS (Air Quality System) function
The AQS function (AQS appears on the display), auto-
matically activates internal air recirculation when the out-
side air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after 15 con-
secutive minutes of the internal air recirculation system
functioning, the climate control system enables the intake
of outdoor air for approximately 1 minute to freshen the
air in the passenger compartment. This takes place re-
gardless of the pollution level of the outside air.

When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the car
speed may exceed the memorised one.
The engagement of the device is signalled by the Üwarn-
ing light lighting up in the instrument panel (together with
a message shown on the display) (see “Instrument panel
warning lights” in chapter 1).
MEMORISING VEHICLE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❍turn selector wheel A-fig. 31 to ON and press the ac-
celerator until the vehicle reaches the desired speed;
❍turn selector wheel B to (+) for at least three seconds
and then release it: the car speed will be memorised
and the accelerator pedal may be released.
If required (e.g. for overtaking), press the accelerator ped-
al to accelerate: the car will return to the previously set
speed when the pedal is released.
RESTORING MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged, for example by press-
ing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed can
be reset as follows:
❍accelerate gradually until you reach a speed ap-
proaching the one memorised;
❍engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rising (4th, 5th or 6th gear);
❍press button C-fig. 31.INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be carried out in two ways:
❍by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❍by temporarily turning selector wheel B-fig. 31 to (+).
Each movement of the selector wheel will correspond to
a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the selector wheel turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be carried out in two ways:
❍by disengaging the device and then memorising the
new speed;
or
❍by keeping selector wheel B-fig. 31 turned to (–) un-
til the new speed is reached; it will then be memorised
automatically.
Each movement of the selector wheel will correspond to
a slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while keep-
ing the selector wheel turned will correspond to a contin-
uous reduction in speed.
