Degraded engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light
comes on, and never more than 500 km af-
ter it first comes on. Failure to observe the above
may result in severe damage to the engine and in-
validate the warranty. Please note also that the
switching on of this warning light does not depend
on the oil quantity in the engine; when the warn-
ing light flashes, never add oil.

“Dualdrive” electric power steering
failure (red)
This warning light switches on when the igni-
tion key is turned to MAR, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on,
you will not have steering assistance and the effort re-
quired to operate the steering wheel will be increased;
steering is, however, possible. In this case, go to a Lancia
Dealership. The display will show a dedicated message.

“Dualdrive” electric steering engagement
The warning light switches on (or the word
“CITY” appears on the display) when the
“Dual drive” electric power steering system is
activated by pressing the relevant control button. Press
the button again to turn the “CITY” wording off.
CITY
2. Degraded engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will turn on flashing together with the
message on the display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided). Depending on the versions, the warning light
flashing modes are as follows:
– one minute every two hours;
– for three minute cycles with the warning light off for
intervals of five seconds until oil is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start up the
warning light will continue flashing as above described
until the oil is changed. For those versions/markets where
provided, the display shows a dedicated message together
with the warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be consid-
ered as fault, it simply informs the customer that the oil
needs to be changed following normal car use.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is ac-
celerated by:
– mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF re-
generation process more frequent
– use of the car for short journeys, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process, sig-
nalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
SYSTEM fig. 35
Press button A to turn the CITY function on (see “elec-
tric power steering” paragraph). When this function is
on, the wording CITY on the instrument panel will turn
on. Press the button again to turn the function off.
SPORT FUNCTION CONTROL fig. 35
(for versions/markets where available)
Press button B to activate the sports driving setting. This
features more responsive acceleration and increased
force required at the steering wheel to produce a more
sporty feel.

KNOWING YOUR CAR105
DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque)
This system is incorporated with the ESP control unit
and suggests steering corrections whilst driving via the
electric power steering. The system applies a torque to
the steering wheel which increases the safety perception
of the vehicle, maintaining control of the steering and
making the intervention of the Advanced ESP system
less intrusive.
SPORT FUNCTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
The vehicle may be equipped with a system that allows
a choice between two styles of driving, normal and sports.
Pressing the SPORT button fig. 66 produces sporty dri-
ving featuring higher acceleration response and more ef-
fort required on the steering wheel to produce this effect.
When the function is active, “S” is lit up in the instru-
ment panel. Press the button again to turn the function
off and restore the normal driving setting.IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
IMPORTANT The steering may become stiffer during
parking manoeuvres including a great deal of steering.
This is normal and caused by the system preventing the
electric control motor overheating. No repairs are needed.
The power steering system will start working normally
again the next time the car is used.
fig. 66L0E0058m

106KNOWING YOUR CAR
Under no circumstances should aftermarket
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft device). This could
negatively affect performance and safety, invali-
date the warranty, cause serious safety problems
and also result in vehicle non-compliance with
type-approval requirements.
Before servicing the car, switch off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition device
to activate the steering lock. This is espe-
cially important when the car wheels are not touch-
ing 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 running), remove the electric power steering
system main fuse.
On some versions, with the CITY function
activated, the SPORT function is not avail-
able. To activate the SPORT function, deactivate
the CITY function and vice versa, because they are
reciprocally incompatible.REACTIVE SUSPENSION
SYSTEM (active shock
absorber system)
This system interacts with the Sport function (see “Sport
function” paragraph).
The SPORT button, fig. 67, allows you to choose between
two different driving settings depending on the route type
and on the road surface:
– with the button released: “normal” mode
– with the button pressed: “SPORT” mode.

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
THIS is an electrically controlled power steering system
called “Dualdrive”. It is only operational with the igni-
tion key turned to MAR and the engine running; it can be
customised by the driver according to the driving condi-
tions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key quickly,
complete power steering functionality may be achieved
after 1-2 seconds.CITY FUNCTION ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
Press button A-fig.79 to activate/deactivate the function.
When the function is active, the CITY warning light on
the instrument panel turns on. When the CITY function
is on, the effort required at steering wheel is lighter, mak-
ing parking easier: therefore, this function is particularly
useful for driving in city centres.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the electric power steering is indicated by
instrument panel warning light gcoming on together
with a message in the reconfigurable multifunction dis-
play. In the event of electric power steering system fail-
ure, the car can be driven with mechanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors independent
of the electric power steering could cause the warning light
gon the instrument panel to come on. In this case, stop
the car immediately, switch off the engine for about
20 seconds and then restart the engine. If the gwarn-
ing light remains on, together with the message on the re-
configurable multifunction display, contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.
Under no circumstances should aftermarket
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft device). This could
negatively affect performance and safety, invali-
date the warranty, cause serious safety problems
and also result in non-compliance of the car with
type-approval requirements.
On some versions, with the CITY function
activated, the SPORT function is not avail-
able. To activate the SPORT function, deactivate
the CITY function and vice versa, because they are
reciprocally incompatible.

KNOWING YOUR CAR129
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.
