The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a specific indication on the
control panel.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI advises
the driver to engage a higher gear,
while when the SHIFT DOWN icon (
SHIFT) is shown, the GSI advises the
driver to engage a lower gear.
The indication on the instrument panel
remains until the driver shifts gear or the
driving conditions return to a situation
where gearshifting is not required to
improve consumption.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT NOTES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal
when applicable. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. In the
event of a failure indication, always refer to the contents of this chapter.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted by pressing the
button. The instrument panel warning
light will stay on until the cause of the malfunction is eliminated.
WARNING LIGHTS AND SYMBOLS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
Red warning lights / symbols
Warning light What it means
SEAT BELTS REMINDER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on constantly with the vehicle stationary and the driver's side or passenger side
seat belt (when the passenger is present) not fastened.
The warning light will flash and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion and the front seat belts are not
correctly fastened.
For permanent deactivation of the acoustic signal (buzzer) of the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder) system
contact a Lancia Dealership. The system can be reactivated at any time using the Setup Menu.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the (red)
, (amber)andESCwarning lights with the engine on,
indicates either an anomaly of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. On some versions the display
shows the dedicated message.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Lancia Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on but it should switch off after a few seconds.
If the warning light (or, on some versions, a dedicated message and a symbol on the display) remains on,
you may not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be
notably increased; steering is, however, possible. In this case, contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors independent of the electric power steering could cause the
warning light on the instrument panel to switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately (should it be in
motion), stop the engine for about 20 seconds and then restart the engine. If the warning light (or, on some
versions, a dedicated message and a symbol on the display) remains on steadily, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the steering must be initialised. The warning light switches
on to indicate this. To carry out this procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the way from one end to
the other or drive in a straight line for about a hundred metres.
45

Warning light What it means
LOW BATTERY CHARGE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction reconfigurable display) switches on when the
ignition key is turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off as soon as the engine has started (with the
engine running at idle speed a brief delay before going out is acceptable).
If the warning light (or, on some versions, a dedicated message and a symbol on the display) remains on
constantly or flashing, contact a Lancia Dealership.
AIR BAG 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 constantly (on some versions, together with a dedicated message and a
symbol on the display) to indicate an airbag system fault.
34) 35)
WARNING
34)If, when turning the key to MAR, thewarning light does not switch on or if it stays on when travelling, there could be a fault in the
restraint systems; in this event airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in the event of impact or, in a lower number of cases, they may
deploy accidentally. Before continuing, contact a Lancia Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
35)The
warning light failure is indicated, depending on the version, by thesymbol on the display which switches on or by thewarning light flashing. In this case thewarning light may not indicate possible failures to the restraint systems. Before continuing,
contact a Lancia Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
46
KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
LOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit. On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.
36)
Handbrake engaged
The warning light (or symbol on the display) comes on when the handbrake is on.
IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on when the vehicle is in motion, check that the handbrake is not
engaged.
WARNING
36)If the warning light switches on when travelling, stop the car immediately and contact a Lancia Dealership.
47

Warning light What it means
INSUFFICIENT ENGINE OIL PRESSURE/ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on, but it should go out as soon as the
engine is started.
Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on constantly along with a dedicated message on the display (for
versions/markets where provided) when the system detects that engine oil pressure is low.
37)
WARNING
37)If thewarning light switches on when driving (on certain versions together with a dedicated message on the display) stop the engine
immediately and contact a Lancia Dealership.
48
KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
Degraded engine oil(only Diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light switches on flashing and, for versions/markets where provided, a dedicated message is
shown on the display. Depending on the versions, the warning light can flash in the following modes: for 1
minute every two hours or for 3-minute cycles with the warning light off for 5 seconds until the oil is
changed. After the initial warning, each time the engine is started up, the warning light will continue to flash
in the same mode, until the oil is changed. On some versions, the display shows a dedicated message
together with the warning light. The flashing of the warning light should not be considered as a fault, it
simply informs the customer that the oil needs to be changed following normal car use. Remember that the
deterioration of the engine oil is accelerated by:
mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF regeneration process more frequent;
use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does not have time to reach its regular operating
temperature;
repeated interruptions to the regeneration process signalled by the DPF warning light coming on.
38)29)
WARNING
38)If the warning light switches on, the degraded engine oil must be changed as soon as possible, and never more than 500 km from the
first time that the warning light switches on. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the
warranty. The activation of this warning light is not related to the amount of oil in the engine. Therefore, never top up with oil when the warning
light starts flashing.
49

WARNING
29)To avoid damaging the engine it is advisable to change the engine oil when thewarning light flashes. In this case, go to a Lancia
Dealership.
Warning light What it means
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
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 engine is overheated.
in normal driving conditions:stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. Go to a Lancia Dealership if the warning light
switches on when the engine is started again;
if the vehicle is used under demanding conditions(e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow
down and, if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running
and slightly accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check that the
coolant level is correct as described above. If the fluid level is insufficient, top it up.
IMPORTANT On demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few
minutes before stopping it.
