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.

When the key is turned to the MAR position
the warning light comes on but should go out
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.

Insufficient tyre pressure
(for versions/markets where provided)
This warning light switches on when the igni-
tion key is turned to MAR, but it should switch
off after a few seconds. The warning light (amber), or
symbol in the display (red), switch on when the inflation
pressure of one or more tyres falls below a preset level.
In this way the T.P.M.S. warns the driver and signals the
possibility of the tyre being dangerously deflated and a
probable puncture (see paragraph “T.P.M.S.” in this
chapter).
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more
flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop the car,
avoiding harsh braking or steering manoeuvres. Replace
the wheel immediately with the space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets where provided) or carry out a repair
using the dedicated kit (see “Changing a wheel” in the
chapter “4”) and contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
Check tyre pressures
This warning light (for versions/markets where provided)
switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on
to show the flat tyre (see “T.P.M.S.” paragraph in this
chapter).
n
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 tyre pressures” in chap-
ter “6”).
Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
This warning light (for versions/markets where provided)
switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
it should switch off after a few seconds.
Should it be necessary to travel at a speed higher than
160 km/h, inflate the tyres more than the pressure value
specified in paragraph “Cold tyre pressures” in chapter
“6”.
If the T.P.M.S. system (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) detects that the pressure of one or more tyres is
unsuitable for the current speed, the warning light or
symbol will switch on (together with the message on the
display) (see “Tyre pressure low” in this chapter) and
it will stay on until the car slows down to a speed below
the preset threshold (see “T.P.M.S.” paragraph in this
chapter).
IMPORTANT In this case, slow down immediately be-
cause tyre overheating could damage tyre performance
and durability beyond repair, and may even make the
tyre explode.
