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.

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.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

DUAL FUNCTION
SYSTEM GEARBOX
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car may be equipped with an
electronically controlled manual
transmission known as "Dual FuNction
System" which allows two operating
logics: MANUAL and AUTO.
GEAR LEVER
41)
The lever fig. 71 is "multistable" floating
type, in other words it has three stable
and three unstable positions.
The three stable positions correspond
to neutral (N), reverse (R) and the
central position located between the
unstable positions (+) and (-).The unstable positions, in other words
those that are abandoned as soon
as the lever is released, are the position
which requests a higher gear (+), the
position which requests a lower gear (–)
and the automatic/manual operating
mode request position (A/M).
IMPORTANT With the engine started,
any error between the lever position
and the gear actually engaged is
signalled by a buzzer until consistency
is restored.
MANUAL MODE
Press the brake pedal and start the
engine;
if AUTO appears on the display,
move the gear lever fig. 71 to A/M to
select MANUAL mode;
push the gear lever towards (+) to
engage first gear (if starting from N
or R, simply place the lever in the
middle position) or R to engage reverse;
release the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal;
in driving conditions, push the gear
lever towards (+) to engage the next
gear up or towards (–) to engage the
next gear down.AUTOMATIC MODE
Press the brake pedal and start the
engine;
if AUTO is not on the display, move
the shift lever fig. 71 to A/M to select
AUTOMATIC mode;
push the gear lever towards (+) to
engage 1stgear (if starting from N or R,
simply place the lever in the middle
position) or R to engage reverse;
release the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal: the gear most
suited to the vehicle speed will be
engaged.
OPERATION (AUTO-ECO)
The ECO function, which optimises the
gearbox, can be activated only with
automatic mode on. The ECO function
is activated by pressing the ECO button
on the instrument panel.
“Kick Down” FUNCTION
If necessary (e.g. when overtaking), the
system downshifts one or more gears
when the accelerator pedal is
depressed beyond the point where it
becomes stiff (and if the rpm allow it) in
order to provide suitable power and
torque for the acceleration requested
by the driver.
71L0F0117C
97

IMPORTANT The use of the “Kick
Down” function is recommended only
when overtaking or accelerating quickly,
in order not to increase fuel
consumption.
STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
42)
On some versions, the gearbox can be
managed sequentially using the
steering wheel controls fig. 72.
To use the controls on the steering
wheel, the gear lever must be in the
central position between + and – :
operating the + lever: engage
a higher gear;
operating the – lever: engage a
lower gear.
The engagement of a lower (or higher)
gear is only permitted if the engine
rpm allow it.
WARNING
41)Avoid keeping your hand placed on this
lever in between gear changes or
Auto/Manual mode.
42)Using the paddles incorrectly (paddles
pushed towards the dashboard) could
break them.
STOP/START
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
114) 115)43)
The Stop/Start system automatically
stops the engine each time the vehicle
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off. In this
way, the vehicle efficiency is increased,
by reducing consumption, dangerous
gas emissions and sound pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Stopping the engine
With manual gearbox: with the car
stationary, the engine stops with the
gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal
released.
With Dual FuNction System gearbox:
the engine stops if the vehicle is at
a standstill and the brake pedal is
pressed. This condition can be
maintained even if the brake pedal is
not depressed, if the gear lever is
in position N (Neutral).
NOTE The engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding a speed
of about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine
from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.

STARTING AND DRIVING

132)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is of about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
standard tyre on a rim that is designed for
use with a space-saver wheel. Have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads
before fitting: they could come unscrewed.
133)The jack shall only be used for raising
the car model it has been supplied with.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as raising other car models. Never
use the jack for repair operations under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the vehicle to fall. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. The space-saver wheel
cannot be fitted with snow chains. If a
front (drive) tyre is punctured and chains
are needed, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel
on the rear axle. In this way, with two
normal drive wheels at the front axle, it is
possible to use snow chains.
134)If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it
may come off when the car is travelling.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim
and tyre. Check tyre and space-saver
wheel pressures regularly, complying with
the values given in the "Technical
specifications" chapter.135)Be very careful when removing/
refitting the hub cap due to the proximity of
the brake disc. We recommend using
heat protection gloves.
WARNING
54)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw"
and joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
55)Contact a Lancia Dealership as soon
as possible to have the correct tightening
of the wheel bolts checked.
