ACCESS TO THE BACK SEATS
(fig. 10)
You can easily get into the back
seats from either side.
Pull handle Aup to fold the seat
back down and slide the seat forwards
(only for the passenger seat).
A recovery device with memory
makes it possible to automatically re-
turn the passenger seat to the position
it was in previously. Always ensure
the seat is locked properly in its run-
ners by trying to move it back and
forth.STEERING WHEEL (fig. 11)
DRIVING MIRROR (fig. 12)
This mirror is adjustable. Move lever
Ato shift the mirror to the following
positions:
1)normal position;
2)anti-dazzle position.
The mirror is also fitted with a safety
device that releases the mirror in the
event of impact. The wheel must only be
adjusted while the car is
stationary.Do not push on the power
steering limit switch for
more than 15 seconds with
the engine running. This causes
noise and could damage the sys-
tem.

Press button C (fig. 36) again to re-
turn to the odometer display.COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE (fig. 34)
If warning lamp Alights up, it
means that the engine coolant is too
hot.
Under normal conditions, the needle
of the temperature gauge should be-
tween 1/4 and 3/4 of the scale. If it
approaches the red section it means
the engine is being overtaxed and you
should reduce your demands on it.
IMPORTANTThe gauge will point
to low temperature and the excessive
temperature warning light Awill
come on to indicate a fault in the sys-
tem. Contact a LANCIA Dealership
to have the system checked.

CLOCK
Press control A (fig. 36)to adjust the
hour.
Press control Bto adjust the minutes.
Each time one of the control buttons
is pressed, the hours (A) or the min-
utes (B) will move forwards one unit. Even travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case it is better to stop
and turn off the engine. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.FUEL GAUGE (fig. 35)
If reserve warning light Bcomes on
it means there are between 5 and 8
litres of fuel left in the tank.
Do not drive when the tank is nearly
empty: possible changes in fuel deliv-
ery could damage the catalyser.
If the situation persists
even after the measures
you have taken, turn off
the engine and have the car seen to
at a LANCIA Dealership.

REV COUNTER (fig. 39)
If the needle is in the red zone it
shows your car’s engine is over-
revving. This is only acceptable for a
few moments.
IMPORTANTThe electronic injec-
tion control system progressively
blocks the flow of fuel when the
pointer goes into the red zone leading
to a progressive loss of engine power.

WARNING LIGHTS
The warning lights will come on in
the following cases:
LOW ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE (red)
When the pressure of the
engine oil falls below the normal level.
When the key is turned to MAR, the
light comes on but should go out the
moment the engine is started.
A delay in the light going out is only
acceptable if the engine is idling.
If the engine has been taxed heavily,
the light might flash when idling but
should go out on accelerating slightly.
v
BATTERY NOT
RECHARGED
PROPERLY (red)
When there is a fault in the current
generating system.
Contact a LANCIA Dealership as
soon as possible to prevent draining
the battery.
The warning lamp will light up when
the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
should go out as soon as the engine
has started.
w
If the warning lamp v
lights up while the car is
moving, switch the engine
off and get in touch with a LANCIA
Dealership.
HANDBRAKE ON/
LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL (red)
In three cases:
1.When the handbrake is engaged.
2.When the brake fluid level falls be-
low the minimum.
3.With the >warning light to indi-
cate an EBD electronic brake force
corrector failure.
x
If the xwarning light
comes on when travelling,
check whether the hand-
brake is engaged. If the warning
light stays on and the handbrake
is not engaged, stop immediately
and contact a LANCIA Dealership.
AIRBAG MALFUNCTION
(red)
When the system is ineffi-
cient.
û
The instrument panel
warning light should come
on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR and go out after ap-
proximately four seconds. Imme-
diately contact a LANCIA Dealer-
ship if the warning light either
does not come on or stays on when
travelling.
DOORS NOT CLOSED
PROPERLY (red)
When a door is not fully
closed.

LANCIA CODE
(amber)
In three ways (with ignition
key at MAR):
1.A single flash - indicates that the
key code has been recognised. The en-
gine can be started.
2.A constant light - indicates that the
key code has not been recognised. To
start the engine, follow the emergency
startup procedure described in the “In
an emergency” section.
3.A flashing light - indicates that the
car is not protected by the immo-
biliser system. The engine can be
started however.
¢
ABS (ANTI-LOCKING
SYSTEM) FAILURE
(amber)
When the ABS system is inefficient.
The normal braking system continues
to work but you should have the car
seen to at a LANCIA Dealershipas
soon as you can.
The warning lamp will light up when
you turn the key to MAR, but it
should go out as soon as the engine
starts.
>
The car is fitted with an
electronic brake distribu-
tor (EBD). If warning lights
>andxlight up simultaneously
when the engine is running, this
indicates an EBD fault. This
means that violent braking could
cause early locking of the rear
wheels causing the car to skid.
Drive very carefully to the nearest
LANCIA Dealership to have the
system checked.EOBD SELF-
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
(amber)
In normal conditions, the warning
light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to MARand should go
out as soon as the engine is started.
The initial lighting up shows that the
warning light is working properly.
If the warning light either stays on or
comes on while travelling:
1.Fixed light - warning of a fuel
feed/ignition system failure which
If only warning light>
switches on when the en-
gine is running, this usu-
ally indicates an ABS fault. In such
cases the braking system is still ef-
ficient, although the anti-locking
device does not function. The EBD
system may also be less efficient.
Go to a LANCIA Dealership imme-
diately, taking care not to brake
suddenly, and have the system
checked.HAZARD LIGHTS
(red) (flashing)
When the hazard lights are
switched on.
