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

Degraded engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light comes
on, and never more than 500 km after it first
comes on. Failure to observe the above indications
may result in severe damage to the engine and in-
validate the warranty. Remember that when the
warning light comes on, it does not mean that the
level of engine oil is low, so if the light flashes you
definitely do not need to top up the engine oil.

2. Degraded eng ine oil (only versions with DPF)
The warning light will turn on fla shing together with the
message on the di splay (for vers ions/markets where pro-
vided). Depending on the ver sions , the warning light fla sh-
ing mode s are as follows :
– for 1 minute ever y two hours ;
– cy cles of 3 minutes with intervals with the warning light
off for 5 s econds until the oil is changed.
After the firs t indication, at each engine s tart up the warn-
ing light will continue flas hing as described above until
the oil is changed. The dis play (for vers ions/markets ,
where provided), s hows a dedicated message together with
the warning light.
The flas hing of the warning light s hould not be consid-
er

ed as a fault, it s imply informs the customer that the
oil needs to be changed following normal car u se.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil i s accel-
erated by :
– mainly town use of the car which make s the DPF re-
generation proce ss more frequent
– us e of the vehicle for s hort drives, in which the engine
does not have time to reach its regular operating tem-
perature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration proce ss, sig-
nalled by the DPF warning light switching on.

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-
