elated components
in order to help protect the environment. ELEC
TRICAL ACCE SSORIES
If, after buy ing the car, y ou decide to add electrical ac-
cessories (that may gradually drain the batter y), vis it
a Lancia Dealership. They can calculate the overall
electrical requirement and check that the car’ s electric
system can s upport the required load.
C ODE CARD (for versions/markets where provided)

Indicator D s hows the engine revs .
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
Indicator B shows the amount of fuel in the tank.
The
Kwarning light will switch on (together with a me s-

7 litres of fuel remaining.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almo st empty : any gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catal ytic converter.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
G auge C s hows the temperature of the engine coolant and
indicates when the coolant temperature exceed s 50°C. The
firs t reference remains on constantly to indicate that the
system is operating correctly . The
uwarning light switch-

s idered a s exhaus tive and/or alternative to the informa-
tion contained in the Owner Handbook, which y ou are ad-
vis ed to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the in-
formation in thi s chapter in the event of a failure indica-
tion.
Low brake fluid level (red)Turning the key to the MAR pos ition illumi-
nates the warning light, but it s hould switch off
after a few s econds. The warning light switches
on when the brake fluid in the re servoir falls below the
minimum level, po ssibly due to a leak in the cir

cuit. The
dis play shows the dedicated message.
Handbrake on (red)
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light switch-
e s on but it s hould switch off after a few seconds . The
warning light s witches on when the handbrake i s engaged.
If the car is moving the buzzer will al so sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light turn s on when travel-

s igns of wear; under thes e circumstances have
them replaced a s s oon as possible. The dis play s hows the
dedicated me ssage.
IMPORTANT Becaus e the car is equipped with a wear de-

Airbag failure (red)
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning
light switches on but it s hould switch off after
a few s econds. The warning light s tays on con-
s tantly if there is a fault in the airbag system.
The dis play will s how the dedicated me ssage.
¬
If the ¬warning light does not come on when
the key is turned to MAR or if it stays on with
the car in motion (together with the message
on the display) there could be a fault in the restraint
systems; under these circumstances, the airbags or
pretensioners may not be deployed in the event of
an impact or, more rarely, they could be deployed
accidentally. Contact a Lancia Dealership to have
the system checked immediately.
The failure of the ¬warning light is indi-
cated by the
“warning light flashing longer
than the expected 4 seconds, which signals
that the front passenger airbag is deactivated. In
addition, the airbag system automatically deacti-
vates the passenger side airbags (front airbag and
side bag). In this case, the
¬warning light may not
indicate failures in the retaining systems. Before
proceeding, contact a Lancia Dealership to have the
system checked immediately.
EBD failure
If warning lights x
(red) and>(amber) are
on at the s ame time with the engine running,
this indicates an EBD system failure or that the
system is not available. Earl y locking of the rear
wheels may occur in the event of sharp brak-
ing, possibly causing the car to s werve.
Drive very carefully to a Lancia Dealer ship to have
the system ins pected immediatel y. The dis play will s how

Engine coolant overheating (red)
Turning the key to the MAR pos ition illumi-
nates the warning light, but it s hould switch off
after a few s econds. The warning light turn s on
when the engine is overheated. If the warning light s witch-
e s on when driving, proceed a s follows :
❍ when driving normally : stop the car, s witch off the en-
gine and check that the water level in the re servoir is
not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait for the engine
to cool down, then slowly and carefull y open the cap,
top up with coolant and check that the level is between
the MIN and MAX mark s on the res ervoir. Also check
vis ually for any fluid leaks . in this case, go to a Lan-
cia Dealers hip if the warning light should switch on
when the engine is started again.
❍ if the vehicle is used under demanding condition s (e.g.
towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and,
if the light s tays on, stop the car

. Wait for 2 or 3 min-
utes with the engine running and slightly accelerated
to further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop the
engine. Check the correct coolant level a s des cribed
above. IMPORTANT Over demanding routes
, it is advis able to
keep the engine on and s lightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before s witching it off. The di splay will s how the ded-

Fuel reserve (amber)When the key is turned to MAR, the warning
light switches on but it s hould switch off after
a few s econds. The warning light s witches on

The driving speed must always be suitable
for traffic and weather conditions and the
driver must always comply with the High-
way Code. 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 deterioration of engine oil. For this reason,
always wait until the warning light switches off be-
fore stopping the engine as described above. It is not
advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the
car stationary.If the warning light remains on or comes on whilst driving,
it means that the injection system is not working proper-
l y ; in particular, if the warning light come s on cons tant-
l y , this indicates a malfunction in the s upply/ignition sys-
tem that could caus e excessive exhaust emissions , a pos-
s ible loss of performance, poor driveabilit y and high fuel
cons umption. On some vers ions the dis play s hows the ded-
icated message. Under the se conditions , you may contin-
ue travelling at a moderate speed without demanding ex-
cessive effort from the engine. Prolonged u se of the car
with the warning light on con stantly may cau se damage.
G o to a Lancia Dealer ship as soon as possible.
The warning light s witches off if the malfunction di sap-
pears , but it is still stor

ed by the system.
EOBD/injection sy stem failure (amber)
Under normal condition s, when the ignition ke y
i s turned to MAR, the warning light switches on,
but should switch off as s oon as the engine i s s tart-
ed.
U
Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possi-
ble if U warning light either does not light
up when the key is turned to MAR or if while
travelling the warning light comes on either con-
stantly or flashing (on some versions along with a
message in the display). The operation of the U
warning light may be checked by the traffic con-
trol authorities using specific devices. Comply with
the laws and regulations of the country where you
are driving.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis ) car-
ries out a continuou s diagno sis of the components of the
car related to emissions . It also alerts the driver, by turn-
ing on the
Uwarning light in the ins trument panel to-
gether with a message in the reconfigurable multifunction
dis play , when thes e components are no longer in peak con-
dition (s ee “Instrument panel warning light s” paragraph).
The goal of the system is to:
❍ to keep system efficiency under control;
❍ to signal a fault which caus es emission level s to in-
creas e;
❍ to signal the need to replace deteriorated component s.
The system als o has a connector that can be interfaced
with appropriate equipment, which makes it possible to
read the error code s s tored in the control unit together with
a series of specific parameter s for engine operation and
diagnos is .
This check can al so be carried out b y traffic control au-
thorities . IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to check the
system completely
, Lancia Dealerships run a bench tes t
and, if necessary , r

oad tes ts which may also call for a long
journey .
