Engine coolant overheating (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 turns on
when the engine is overheated. If the warning light comes
on when driving, proceed as follows:
❍normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the
engine and check that the water level in the reservoir
is not below the MIN mark.
In this case, wait for a few minutes for the engine to cool
down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top-up with
coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and
MAX reference on the reservoir itself. Also check for any
fluid leaks. Go to a Lancia Dealership if the warning light
should switch on when the engine is started again.

IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and is caused by a system to prevent the
motor from overheating. No servicing is required. The
power steering system will start working normally again
the next time the car is used.T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car may be equipped with a tyre pressure monitor-
ing system. This system comprises a radio frequency
transmitter fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim inside
the tyre), which is able to send information on the tyre
inflation pressure of each wheel to the control unit.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE TPMS SYSTEM
The fault indications are not stored and will therefore
not be displayed after the engine has been switched off
and then on again. If the fault conditions persist, the
control unit will send the relative indications to the in-
strument panel only after the vehicle has been in motion
for a short time.
Before starting any servicing operation, stop
the engine and remove the key from the igni-
tion switch to operate the steering lock, par-
ticularly when the wheels do not touch the ground.
If this is not possible (e.g. if the key must be kept in
the MAR position or the engine must be kept run-
ning), remove the electric power steering system
main fuse.
