TRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS
Important information
The warning lights s witch on together with a dedicated
message and/or a buzzer where appropriate. The se indi-
cations are precautionary and as s uch mus t not be con-
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-
ling, check that the handbrake i s not engaged.

If the xwarning light turns on when trav-
elling (with the message on the display) stop
the car immediately and contact a Lancia
Dealership.
Brake pad wear (amber)
The warning light (or symbol on the display )
s witches on when the front brake pad s s how
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-
tection system only for the front brake pad s, when thes e
are replaced the rear brake pad s s hould als o be checked
for wear.

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
the dedicated message.x

Should two or more ty res be flat, the dis play will s how the
indications corresponding to each ty re in sequence. Re-
s tore the correct inflation pre ssure values as s oon as pos-
s ible (s ee paragraph “Cold inflation pre ssures” in chap-
ter “6”).
T yre pressure unsuitable for speed
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light (for
vers ions /markets , where provided) s witches on, but it
s hould switch off after a few s econds.
S hould it be necessary to travel at a speed higher than 160
km/h, inflate the t yre s more than the pressure value s pec-
ified in paragraph “Inflation pressures” in chapter “6”.
If the TPMS (for versions/markets where provided) de-
tects that the pr

essure of one or more t yre s i s uns uitable
for the current s peed, the warning light or symbol will
s witch on (together with the message on the di splay ) (see
“T yre pre ssure low” paragraph in this chapter) and it will
s tay on until the car s lows down to a s peed below the pre-
s et thres hold (see “TPMS ” paragraph in thi s chapter).
IMPORTANT In this case, slow down immediately because
t y re overheating could damage t yre performance and
durability beyond repair, and may even make the tyre ex-
plode.
Particularly strong radio-frequency inter-
ference may cause the TPMS to function in-
correctly. The driver is notified of this con-
dition through a message (for versions/markets,
where provided).
The message will disappear automatically as soon
as the interference ceases to disturb the system.
Exterior lig hts failure (amber)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
s witches on when a fault i s detected in any of
the following lights :
❍ side lights ;
❍ brake lights (for versions/markets where provided);
❍ rear fog light s;
❍ direction indicators ;
❍ number plate light s;
❍ day time running light s.
The failure relating to the se lights could be: one or more

When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the ve-
hicle speed may slightly exceed the pres et one.
The engagement of the device is s ignalled by the Üwarn-
ing light coming on in the in strument panel (together with
a message shown on the di splay ) (see “Ins trument panel
warning light s” paragraph).
S TORING THE C AR SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❍ turn the ring nut A - fig. 36 to ON and press the ac-
celerator pedal until the vehicle reaches the desired
s peed;
❍ turn the ring nut to (+) for at lea st three s econds, then
relea se it. The vehicle speed is now memoris ed and you
can therefore releas e the accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for in stance), you can accel-
erate simply by pre ssing the accelerator pedal; when you
releas e the pedal, the car will r
eturn to the speed memo-
ris ed previous ly .
RES TORING THE MEMORIS ED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by de-
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memori sed speed
can be res tored as follows:
❍ accelerate graduall y until reaching a s peed approach-
ing the memori sed speed; ❍
engage the gear selected at the time of s peed memo-
ris ing (fourth, fifth or sixth gear);
❍ press button C - fig. 36.
INC REAS ING THE MEMORIS ED SPEED
This can be done in two wa ys:
❍ by pressing the accelerator and then memori sing the
new speed reached;
or
❍ by temporaril y turning ring nut B - fig. 36 to (+).
Each movement of the selector wheel will corres pond to
a slight incr
ease in s peed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the selector wheel turned will corre spond to a continu-
ous speed increas e.
REDUC ING THE MEMORIS ED SPEED
This can be done in two wa ys:
❍ by dis engaging the device and then memoris ing the
new speed;
or
❍ by keeping ring nut B - fig. 36 turned to (–) until the
new speed is reached; it will then be memori sed auto-
matically .
Each movement of the ring nut will corre spond to a re-
duction in s peed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the ring
nut turned will corres pond to a continuous reduction in
s peed.

DEACTIVATING THE DEVIC E
Turn the ring nut A - fig. 36 to OFF or turn the ignition
key to S TOP. The device is automatically turned off in one
of the following ca se s:
❍ when the brake or clutch pedal i s pressed;
❍ if the AS R or Advanced E SP system cuts in (for ver-
s ions /markets where provided);
While travelling with the device engaged, do
not place the gear lever in neutral.
In case of malfunction or if the device is faulty,
turn the control A - fig. 36 to OFF and con-
tact a Lancia Dealership, after checking that
the protective fuse has not blown.

ADVANCED ESP SYSTEM
(ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAM)
This is an electronic system controlling car s tability in the
event of ty re grip loss, helping to maintain directional con-
trol.
The Advanced E SP system is therefore particularly use-
ful when road surface grip condition s change.
With the Advanced E SP system as well as the ASR (trac-
tion control with intervention on the brake s and the en-
gine) plus the HILL HOLDER (device for hill starts with-
out us ing the brakes ) and also MSR (adjus tment of engine
braking force with gear down shift), HBA (automatic in-
creas e in braking pressure during emergency braking),
ABS (preventing the wheel s from locking and slipping on
all road s urfaces during s harp braking and D ST (appli-
cation of force on the steering wheel for steering correc-
tion) functions are all available. S
Y STEM INTERVENTION
This is s ignalled b y the blinking of the á warning light on
the ins trument panel, to inform the driver that the car i s
in critical s tability and grip condition s.
S witching the system on
The Advanced ES P system comes on automaticall y when
the vehicle is started and cannot be turned off.
Fault indications
In the event of a failur

e, the Advanced ES P system will be
automaticall y s witched off and á warning light will ap-
pear cons tantly in the ins trument panel along with a me s-
s age on the reconfigurable multifunction di splay . The LED
on the AS R OFF button will als o light up (see “Instrument
panel warning light s” chapter). In thi s cas e, go to a Lan-
cia Dealers hip.
The performance of the Advanced ESP sys-
tem should not encourage the driver to take
unnecessary risks. Driving style must always
be adapted to road conditions, visibility and traf-
fic. The driver is ultimately responsible for road
safety.

Fault indications
System failure is indicated by the
áwarning light light-
ing up in the in strument panel together with a dedicated
message appearing in the reconfigurable multifunction di s-
play ; see “Ins trument panel warning light s” chapter.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake; therefore, never leave the vehicle without having
engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off engaged the
firs t gear.
The Advanced ESP system continues to op-
erate if the space-saver wheel is fitted. Al-
ways remember that the space-saver wheel,
being smaller than the original wheel provides less
grip.
For the correct operation of the Advanced ESP and
ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be the same
make and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions
and, above all, of the type, make and size speci-
fied.
HILL HOLDER S YSTEM
This is an integral part of the Advanced E SP system and
automaticall y cuts in in the following condition s:
❍ uphill: car at a s tandstill on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake ped-
al pressed, gearbox in neutral or engaged gear other
than revers e.
❍ downhill: car at a stands till on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake ped-
al pressed and revers e gear engaged.
During take off the Advanced E SP system control unit
maintains the braking pressure at the wheel s until the en-
gine torque required for departure i s reached or for a max-
imum of 2 seconds , allowing your right foot to be moved
eas ily from the brake pedal to the accelerator.
When two s econds have elaps ed, without starting, the sys-
tem is automaticall y deactivated, graduall y releas ing the
braking pressure. During thi s releas e stage it is possible to
hear a ty pical mechanical brake r

elea se nois e, indicating
the imminent move of the car.

System intervention
The driver can feel that the ABS has come into action be-
caus e the brake pedal pul sates s lightly and the system gets
nois ier: this means that the car s peed should be changed
to suit the ty pe of road surface.
When the ABS cuts in and you feel the brake
pedal pulsating, do not raise your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop in
the shortest amount of space possible depending on
the current road conditions.
If the ABS cuts in, it means that the grip be-
tween the tyre and the road surface is close
to its limit: you must slow down to match the
speed to the road grip available.
The ABS make the best use of the available
grip but cannot increase it. You should al-
ways drive carefully on slippery surfaces and
avoid any unnecessary risks.

OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sens ors is automaticall y deactivated
when the trailer’ s electric plug i s in serted in the car’ s tow
hook socket. The sens ors are automatically reactivated
when the trailer’ s cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If y ou wish to leave the tow hook fitted when
there is no trailer, it is advisable to go to a Lancia Deal-
ers hip to have the system updated becau se the tow hook
could be detected as an obstacle by the centre s ensors.

are detected while revers e is engaged.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
During parking manoeuvre s, pay the utmos t attention to
any obs tacles that could be located above or below the s en-
s ors .
Under certain circum stances close objects located in front
of or behind the vehicle ma y not be detected and could
therefore caus e damage to the vehicle or be damaged
thems elves. The following condition
s ma y influence the performance
of the parking a ssistance system:
❍ Reduced sens or sens itivity and a reduction in the park-
ing assi stance system performance could be due to the
pres ence on the surface of the sens ors of: ice, s now
,
mud, thick paint.
❍ The sens ors detect a non-exi stent obs tacle (echo in-
terference) due to mechanical interference, for exam-
ple when was hing the vehicle, rain ( strong wind), hail.
❍ The indication s s ent by the sensors can als o be altered
b y the pres ence of ultras onic devices (e.g. truck pneu-
matic brake systems or pneumatic drill s) near the car.
❍ The performance of the parking a ssistance system may
als o be affected by the position of the s ensors. For ex-
ample, if the geometr y is altered (as a result of wear of
the shock abs orbers, su spens ion) or the ty res ar
e
changed, the vehicle i s too heavily laden, specific tun-
ing is carried out that lower s the vehicle.
❍ The detection of obs tacles to the upper part of the ve-
hicle is not guaranteed a s the system is designed to de-
tect obs tacles that could impact the lower part of the
vehicle.
