Lancia Flavia 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

Certain conditions, such as a loose or
missing gas cap, poor fuel quality,
etc., may illuminate the light after
engine start. The vehicle should be
serviced if the light stays on through
several of your typical driving cycles.
In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and will not require
towing.CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic con-
verter damage and power loss will
soon occur. Immediate service is re-
quired.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic con-
verter, as referenced above, can
reach higher temperatures than in
normal operating conditions. This
can cause a fire if you drive slowly or
park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, cardboard,
etc. This could result in death or
serious injury to the driver, occu-
pants or others.
27. Transmission Temperature
Warning Light This light indicates that the
transmission fluid tempera-
ture is running hot. This
may occur with severe us-
age, such as trailer towing. If this light
turns on, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle. Then, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL and run the engine at
idle or faster until the light turns off.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Trans-
mission Temperature Warning Light
illuminated will eventually cause se-
vere transmission damage or trans-
mission failure.WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature
Warning Light is illuminated and
you continue operating the vehicle,
in some circumstances you could
cause the fluid to boil over, come in
contact with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.
28. High Beam Indicator This light indicates that the
headlights are on high beam.
Pull the turn signal lever to-
ward the steering wheel to switch the

gine oil change indicator system. The
“Oil Change Required” message will
flash in the EVIC display for approxi-
mately five seconds after a single
chime has sounded to indicate the
next scheduled oil change interval.
The engine oil change indicator sys-
tem is duty cycle based, which means
the engine oil change interval may

COMPASS DISPLAY
COMPASS Button
The compass heading indi-
cates the direction the ve-
hicle is facing. Press and re-
lease the compass button to
display one of eight compass head-
ings, the outside temperature, and au-
dio information (if the radio is on) if
the EVIC display is not already dis-
playing this screen.
NOTE:
The system will display the last
known outside temperature when
starting the vehicle and may need
to be driven several minutes before
the updated temperature is dis-
played. Engine temperature can
also affect the displayed tempera-
ture; therefore, temperature read-
ings are not updated when the ve-
hicle is not moving.
117

If the vehicle is equipped with the
manufacturers gps (Navigation Ra-
dio), the NAV system will provide the
compass direction, and the variance
and calibration menus will be un-
available. The compass will perform
accurately, based on GPS signals in-
stead of the Earth’s magnetic field.
Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating,
which eliminates the need to calibrate
the compass manually. When the ve-
hicle is new, the compass may appear
erratic and the EVIC will flash the
“CAL” indicator until the compass is
calibrated. You may calibrate the
compass by completing one or more
360–degree turns (in an area free
from large metal or metallic objects)
until the CAL indicator in the EVIC
turns off. The compass will now func-
tion normally.
NOTE:
A good calibration requires a level
surface and an environment free
from large metallic objects such as
buildings, bridges, underground
cables, railroad tracks, etc.Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic or in-
accurate, and the variance has been
properly set, you may wish to manu-
ally recalibrate the compass. To
manually calibrate the compass:
1. Start the engine. Leave the shift
lever in PARK in order to enter the
EVIC Programming Menus.
2. Press and release the MENU but-
ton until “Personal Settings” displays
in the EVIC.
3. Press and release the DOWN but-
ton until “Calibrate Compass Yes”
displays in the EVIC.
4. Press and release the SELECT
button and the “CAL” indicator will
start flashing.
5. Drive the vehicle slowly (under
5 mph / 8 km/h), completing one or
more circles (in an area free from
large metal or metallic objects) until
the “CAL” indicator turns off. The
compass will now function normally.
Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference
between Magnetic North and Geo-
graphic North. To compensate for the
differences, the variance should be set
for the zone where the vehicle is
driven, per the zone map. Once prop-
erly set, the compass will automati-
cally compensate for the differences
and provide the most accurate com-
pass heading.
NOTE:
Magnetic and battery powered de-
vices, (such as cell phones, iPod's,
radar detectors, PDA's and lap-
tops) should be kept away from the
top of the instrument panel. This is
where the compass module is lo-
cated and such devices may inter-
fere and cause false compass read-
ings.
118

To Change Compass Variance:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position. Leave the shift lever in
PARK.
2. Press and release the MENU but-
ton until “Personal Settings” displays
in the EVIC.3. Press and release the DOWN but-
ton until “Compass Variance” and the
current Variance Value displays in the
EVIC.
4. Press and release the SELECT
button to increment the Variance
Value by one, (one button press per
update), until the proper variance
zone is selected according to the map.
NOTE:
The Variance Values will wrap
around from 15 back to 1. The De-
fault Variance is Zone 8.

be traveled with the fuel remaining in
the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of
the instantaneous and average fuel
economy, according to the current
fuel tank level. DTE cannot be reset.
NOTE:
Significant changes in driving
style or vehicle loading will greatly
affect the actual drivable distance
of the vehicle, regardless of the
DTE display value.When the DTE value is less than
48 km estimated driving distance, the
DTE display will change to a text
display of "LOW FUEL”. This dis-
play will continue until the vehicle
runs out of fuel. Adding a significant
amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn
off the LOW FUEL text and a new
DTE value will display.
