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.

If the warning lamp v
lights up while the car is
moving, switch the engine
off and get in touch with a LANCIA
Dealership.

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

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

cient.

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.

may increase emissions in exhaust or
cause possible drops in performance,
poor handling and high consumption.
In such conditions, you can continue
driving but you should not tax the en-
gine and you should moderate the
speed. Prolonged use with the warn-
ing light on can cause damage. Con-
tact a LANCIA Dealershipas soon
as possible.
The warning light will go out when
the failure disappears. In any case, the
system will store the error.
2.Flashing light - warning that the
catalyser can be damaged (see
“EOBD system” in this chapter).
If the warning light starts flashing, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and slow
the engine until the warning light
stops flashing. Continue driving at
moderate speed, preventing the warn-
ing light from coming on again. Con-
tact a LANCIA Dealershipas soon
as possible.PASSENGER AIRBAG
DEACTIVATED
(amber)
When the passenger airbag has been
deactivated by means of the specific
key switch.The warning light should
come on for approximately
four seconds and flash for
other four seconds only when the
key is turned to MAR and the pas-
senger’s front airbag switch is
turned to ON. If the warning light
either does not come on or comes
on when travelling, stop immedi-
ately and contact a LANCIA Deal-
ership.Contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship as soon as possible if
the warning light ei-
ther does not come on when the
key is turned to MAR or comes on,
with fixed or flashing light, when
travelling.

bulbs fails to work. A fault in the
