REFUELLING
Petrol engines:exclusively refuel the car with un-
leaded petrol with a RON no lower than 95.
Diesel engines:refuel only with diesel fuel conform-
ing to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty due
to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines:make sure that the handbrake is en-
gaged, place the gear lever in neutral, fully depress the
clutch without depressing the accelerator, then turn the

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures
during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire
hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous
diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions
to ensure better respect for the environment.ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical ac-
cessories (that may gradually drain the battery), visit
aLancia Dealership. They can calculate the overall
electrical requirement and check that the car’s elec-
tric system can support the required load.
CODE CARD
Keep the card in a safe place, not in the car. We rec-
ommend that you always carry the electronic code pro-
vided on the CODE card with you, in case you need
to perform an emergency start.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct car maintenance is essential to ensure that the
performance, safety features, environmental friendli-
ness and low running costs are unchanged over the
years.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... important information and warnings on the correct
use and maintenance of your car over time as well as
safe driving tips. Pay special attention to the symbols
"(personal safety) #(environmental protection)
â(car safety).
Refer to the “Instrument panel warning lights” chapter in this
handbook if the message “See Handbook” appears on the dis-

SPEEDOMETER (SPEED INDICATOR) fig. 2-3
Indicator A shows the speed of the car.
REV COUNTER fig. 2-3
The indicator D shows the engine revs.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 2-3
Indicator B shows the amount of fuel in the tank.
The
Kwarning light will switch on (together with a mes-
sage on the display) to indicate there are between 5 and
7 litres of fuel remaining.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
fig. 2-3
Gauge C shows the temperature of the engine coolant and
indicates when the coolant temperature exceeds 50 °C.
The first reference remains on constantly to indicate that
the system is operating correctly. The
uwarning light
switches on (together with a message on the display) to
indicate that the temperature of the engine coolant has
increased significantly. In this event, stop the engine and
go to a Lancia Dealership.INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS
General warnings
The warning lights switch on together with a dedicated
message and/or a buzzer where appropriate. These in-
dications are brief and precautionary and as such must
not be considered as exhaustive and/or an alternative to
the information contained in the Owner Handbook,
which you are recommended to read carefully in all cases.
Always refer to the information in this chapter in the
event of a failure indication.
Low brake fluid level (red)
Turning the key to the MAR position the
warning light switches on, but it will switch
off after a few seconds. The warning light
comes on when the level of the brake fluid in the reser-
voir falls below the minimum level due to a possible leak
in the circuit.
The display shows the dedicated message.
Handbrake on (red)
When the key is turned to the MAR position the warn-
ing light comes on but should go out after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the handbrake is en-
gaged. If the car is moving the buzzer will also sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on when travel-
ling, make sure that the handbrake is not engaged.

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.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The “GSI” system (Gear Shift Indicator) advises the dri-
ver to change gear via an indication on the instrument
panel (see fig. 6a).
Shifting when indicated by GSI will help the driver save
fuel.
When the SHIFT UP icon (NSHIFT) is shown on the
display, the GSI is advising the driver to select a higher
gear, while the SHIFT DOWN (OSHIFT) icon suggests
that a lower gear should be engaged.
NOTE The indication on the instrument panel remains
on until the driver changes gear or until the driving con-
ditions return to a situation where a gear change is not
required to reduce consumption.

Deactivation
When the lights are switched off by the sensor, the dipped
beam headlights and side lights are switched off and the
day lights are switched on (if activated).
The sensor is not capable of detecting the presence of fog
therefore, in these circumstances, the lights have to be
turned on manually.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS WITH CORNERING LIGHTS
FUNCTION
When the dipped headlamps are on and the speed is be-
low 40 km/h, if the steering wheel rotation angle is large
or the direction indicators are on, a light (incorporated in
the fog light) will come on on the relevant side to improve
visibility at nightime. The function can be acti-
vated/deactivated via the display menu (see “Display”
paragraph in this chapter). AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR
(dusk sensor) fig. 27
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects variations in brightness outside the vehicle de-
pending on the light setting: the greater the sensitivity,
the less outside light needed to activate the exterior lights
being turned on. The sensitivity of the dusk sensor may
be adjusted, using the “Set-up menu” on the instrument
panel.
Activation
When the ring nut is turned to the AUTO position the ex-
ternal lights automatically switch on depending on the
exterior brightness.
The headlights can only be flashed with the sensor on.The daytime running lights are an alterna-
tive to the dipped beam headlights for dri-
ving during the daytime in countries where
it is compulsory to have lights on during the day,
and they are also permitted in those countries
where this not obligatory.
Daytime running lights cannot replace dipped
headlights when driving at night or through tunnels.
The use of daytime running lights is governed by
the highway code of the country in which you are
driving. Comply with legal requirements.
