Amber warning lights / symbols
Warning light What it means
ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light switches on (on some versions, with a dedicated message on the display and a symbol
on the display) when the system is not efficient. In this case the braking system maintains its efficiency
unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS system.
Drive carefully and go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
PASSENGER AIRBAG/SIDE BAGS DEACTIVATED
The warning light switches on when the front passenger's airbag and side bag are disabled.
With passenger side front airbag on, when the key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on
constantly for several seconds, flashes for another few seconds and then should switch off.
39)
WARNING
39)A failure of thewarning light is indicated by thewarning light switching on. In addition, the airbag system automatically disables the
airbags on the passenger's side (both front and side airbags - for versions/markets where provided). Before continuing, contact a Lancia
Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

Warning light What it means
FUEL RESERVE / LIMITED RANGE
This warning light switches on when 5 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank. When the remaining range is
lower than approx. 50 km (or equivalent value in miles), on some versions the display will show a dedicated
message.
IMPORTANT The warning light will flash to indicate a system failure. Go to a Lancia Dealership to have the
system checked.
ESC SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
ESC system activation
Flashing of the warning light while driving indicates the intervention of the ESC system.
ESC system failure
If the warning light does not switch off or remains on (together with a dedicated message and a symbol on
the display on some versions) whilst driving, contact a Lancia Dealership.
Hill Holder failure
This warning light comes on, on some versions together with the
symbol and a message is displayed,
in the event of a fault with the Hill Holder system.

Warning light What it means
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING IN PROGRESS (Diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light (together with a dedicated message and a symbol on the display on some versions)
switches on constantly to notify the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured pollutants
(particulate) through the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions
require that the driver is notified. To switch the warning light off, the vehicle must be kept moving until the
regeneration process is completed. On average, the process lasts 15 minutes. Optimal conditions for
completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it should not be taken to
a workshop. On some versions, together with the warning light switching on, the display shows a
dedicated message.
40)
WARNING
40)Vehicle travel speed should always be adapted to the traffic and weather conditions, and must always comply with traffic regulations. The
engine can be stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason, it is always advisable to wait for the warning light to go off before turning the engine
off, following the instructions appearing above. Do not complete the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.

ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
The car has the following active safety
systems:
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System);
EBD (Electronic Brake force
Distribution);
MBA (Mechanical Brake Assist);
ESC (Electronic Stability Control);
HH (Hill Holder);
ASR (Antislip Regulation);
BA (Brake Assist);
MSR (Motor Schleppmoment
Regelung);
For the operation of the systems, see
the following description.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking
System)
This system, which is an integral part of
the braking system, prevents one or
more wheels from locking and slipping
in all road surface conditions,
irrespective of the intensity of the
braking action, ensuring that the vehicle
can be controlled even during
emergency braking.IMPORTANT To obtain the maximum
efficiency of the braking system, a
bedding-in period of about 500 km is
needed: during this period it is better to
avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged
braking.
System intervention
The driver can feel that the ABS has
come into action because the brake
pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier: it means that the vehicle
speed should be altered to suit the type
of road surface.41) 42) 43) 44) 45) 46) 47) 48)
EBD (Electronic
Brakeforce Distribution)
SYSTEM
The EBD system allows the brake force
to be distributed between the front
and rear wheels.
MBA (Mechanical brake
assist) SYSTEM
This system (which cannot be
deactivated) recognises emergency
braking conditions according to the
speed of operation of the brake pedal
and provides an additional hydraulic
braking pressure to support that
provided by the driver. This allows
faster and more powerful operation of
the braking system.
49)
ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) SYSTEM
This is an electronic system that
controls vehicle stability in the event of
tyre grip loss, helping maintain
directional control.
The system is capable of recognising
potentially dangerous situations in
terms of the stability and intervenes
automatically on the brakes in a
differentiated manner for the four
wheels in order to provide a stabilising
torque.
The ESC system switches on
automatically when the engine is
started and cannot be switched off.
System intervention
It is signalled by the flashing of theESC
warning light on the instrument panel,
to inform the driver that the car is in
critical stability and grip conditions.
50) 51) 52) 53) 54) 55)
HH (Hill Holder) SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the ESC
system and facilitates starting on
slopes, activating automatically in the
following cases:

DRIVING
ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
iTPMS System (indirect
Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
67) 68) 69) 70) 71) 72)
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tire Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by the
warning
light continuously lit on the instrument
panel and a dedicated warning
message on the display.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is in any case
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
The system does not recognise the tyre
pressure value, but it is able to indicate
if the pressure of one or more tyres
falls below a certain pressure threshold.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.Reset procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driving on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the Reset
procedure is carried out.
The Reset procedure must be carried
out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is
fitted.
Before carrying out the Reset
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the Reset procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on
one or more tyres.
To carry out the RESET procedure, with
the car stopped and the ignition device
at MAR, use the Main Menu as follows:
briefly press thebutton: the
display will show Reset;
press thebutton or the
button to select ("Yes" or "No");
briefly press thebutton: the
display will show "Confirm";
pressbutton orto select
("Yes" to Reset or "No" to exit the video
page);
press thebutton again to return
to the standard screen or to the main
menu according to where you are in the
menu.
At the end of the Reset procedure the
display will show the "Reset saved"
message, indicating that the self-
learning has been started and you will
hear an acoustic warning beep.
If the iTPMS self-learning is not properly
executed, the message is not
displayed, and no beep is heard.
Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the road
surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced
roads...) the signalling may be delayed
or partial in detecting the contemporary
deflation of more than one tyre.

75)The rear central seat belt is provided
with a service buckle . Do not use the seat
belt with the service buckle not fastened.
In this case there is a high risk of injury
or death in the event of an accident. Before
using the belt, always make sure that the
service buckle is correctly fastened.SBR (Seat Belt
Reminder) SYSTEM
The SBR system warns the passengers
of the front and rear (for versions/
markets, where provided) seats if their
seat belt is not fastened.
The system signals unfastened seat
belts with visual warnings (warning light
on in the instrument panel or panel
and icon on the display) and an
