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.

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).

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.

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.
