Parking sensor fault
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on
when a fault is detected in the parking sensors. The dis-
play shows the dedicated message.
Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on
when a failure is detected in the T.P.M.S. system (where
provided). Should one or more wheels without a sensor
be fitted, the instrument panel warning light will come
on and stay on until the initial conditions are restored.
The display shows the dedicated message.
NOTE If one of the above mentioned faults occurs,
contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
AFS system failure
This warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on
when a failure is detected in the AFS system (see “Head-
lights” paragraph in this chapter). The display shows the
dedicated message.
Steering corrector not available
This warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on
when the steering corrector is not available. The display
will show a dedicated message.DPF (diesel particulate filter) cleaning
in progress (only Multijet versions
with DPF) (amber)
When the key is turned to the MAR–ON position
the warning light comes on but should go out after a few
seconds. The warning light turns on constantly when the
DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants
through the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on every time the DPF
is being regenerated, rather only when the driving con-
ditions are such that the driver needs to know it. To
switch the warning light off, the car must be kept mov-
ing until the regeneration process is completed.
As an average, the process lasts fifteen minutes. The best
conditions to complete the regeneration process are
reached driving the car at about 60 km/h with engine
speed over 2000 rpm. When this warning light switches
on, it does not indicate a car failure and thus it should not
be taken to a workshop. For versions/markets where pro-
vided, the display shows the dedicated message and the
warning light comes on.

Fuel reserve (amber)
When the key is turned to the MAR position the
warning light comes on but should go out af-
ter a few seconds. The warning light switches on
when about 5 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
The display shows the 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
Always drive at a speed appropriate to the
traffic conditions, the weather and speed lim-
its. The engine can also be switched off if the
DPF warning light is on; nevertheless, repeated in-
terruptions of the regeneration process could cause an
early decay of engine oil. For this reason, always wait
until the warning light switches off before stopping the
engine as described above. It is not a good idea to com-
plete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.ignition system that could cause excessive exhaust emis-
sions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability
and high fuel consumption. On some versions the display
shows the dedicated message. Under these conditions,
you may continue travelling at moderate speed without
demanding excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged
use of the car with the warning light on may cause dam-
age. Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light goes off if the failure disappears, but
it is still stored by the system.
Petrol engines only
If the warning light is flashing, this indicates that the cat-
alytic converter may be damaged.
If the warning light flashes, it is necessary to release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until
the warning light stops flashing; continue the journey at
moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that
may cause further flashing and contact a Lancia Deal-
ership as soon as possible.
EOBD/injection system failure (amber)
Under normal conditions, when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on, but should switch off as soon as the
engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or switches on whilst dri-
ving, that means that the injection system is not work-
ing properly; in particular, if the warning light switches
on constantly, this indicates a malfunction in the supply/
U
If, turning the ignition key to MAR, the warn-
ing light Udoes not turn on or if it turns on
steadily or flashing when travelling (on cer-
tain versions together with the message on the dis-
play), contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible. The operation of the warning light Umay be
checked by the traffic control authorities using spe-
cific devices. Always comply with the traffic regu-
lations in force in the country where you are driving.

after a few seconds. If the warning light does not
switch off or stays on together with the LED on the ASR
button when travelling, contact a Lancia Dealership. On
some versions the display shows the dedicated message.
If the warning light flashes when driving, this indicates
that the Advanced ESP system is activated.
If the battery is disconnected, the warning light áwill
switch on (together with a message in the display) to in-
dicate that the system must be realigned.

TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trip computer is used to display information on car
operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function
is composed by separate trips, called “Trip A” and “Trip
B” which can monitor the entire mission (journey) in
a reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset means start of a new
journey). “Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time)
– Trip A Reset
“Trip B” may be used to display the figures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time)
– Trip B Reset
N.B. “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot
be reset.Values displayed
Range
This indicates the approximate distance which can be
travelled with the present amount of fuel in the tank. The
display will show the reading ‘----’ when the following
events take place:
– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car parked with engine running for long period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several fac-
tors: driving style (see “Driving style” in the “Starting
and driving” section), type of route (motorway, towns
and cities, mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load,
tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take
the above into account.
Distance travelled
This indicates the approximate distance covered from the
start of the new mission.

This indicates any change in fuel consumption. The value
is constantly updated. The display will show ‘----’ if the
car is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the car’s average speed based on the
overall time elapsed since the start of the new journey.
Journey time
Time elapsed since the start of the new journey.

LANCIA CODE SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking system which in-
creases protection against attempted thefts of the car. It is
automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during ignition by an antenna built
into the ignition device. The signal is the “password”, dif-
ferent every time the car is started, through which the
control unit recognises the key and enables starting.
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 immobilizer.
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 Lan-
cia CODE system deactivates the functions of the man-
agement 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
immobilizer function persists, try again with the spare set
of keys. Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot
start the engine.IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be
stored by the system control unit. To have new keys pro-
grammed (up to a maximum number of eight keys), con-
tact a Lancia Dealership and be ready to present all the
keys you have in your possession, the CODE card, a per-
sonal identity document and the car ownership docu-
ments. The key codes not presented during the program-
ming procedure will be deleted to ensure that any keys
that are lost or stolen cannot be used to start the engine.
Warning light Y(or symbol in the display)
switching on whilst driving
❍If the warning light Y(or symbol in the display)
switches on, this means that the system is running
a self-diagnosis test (caused, for example, by a volt-
age drop).
❍If the warning light Y(or symbol in the display) re-
mains on, contact a Lancia dealership.
The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is submitted to
strong shocks.

IMPORTANT The engine immobilizer function is guar-
anteed by the Lancia CODE, which is automatically ac-
tivated when the ignition key is extracted from the starter
device.
TURNING THE ALARM ON
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 markets, the system produces an acoustic
warning (beep) and enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is preceded by a self-di-
agnosis stage: if a fault is detected, the system emits a new
acoustic signal together with the display of a message (see
“Panel warning lights” chapter).
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 properly shut, it will be ex-
cluded from the testing by the alarm system.
If the alarm emits an acoustic signal even when the doors,
bonnet and tailgate are correctly closed, a failure has oc-
curred in system operation. Contact a Lancia Dealership.IMPORTANT Centrally locking the doors using the metal
insert on the key does not activate the alarm.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to meet requirements
in various countries.
TURNING THE ALARM OFF
Press button
Ëon the key with the remote control.
The following operations are performed (excluding some
markets):
❍the direction indicators flash briefly twice;
❍two brief acoustic signals are emitted (“BEEP”);
❍the doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT Activating the central opening using the
key’s metal insert does not turn the alarm off.
