Even in fault conditions it is possi-
ble to move the lever to R, Nand D.
If the lever is in position D,the con-
trol unit of the automatic gearbox
will select only certain gears, accord-
ing to the type of failure detected.
In case of failure of the
automatic gearbox, take
the car immediately to a
Lancia Dealership to have the
failure eliminated.FAILURE INDICATION
Automatic gearbox faults are indi-
cated by multifunction display
warning light tcoming on with
the following messages:
– AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
OIL TEMP. HIGH
– AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FAULT.
Automatic transmission oil tem-
perature high
This message is displayed when the
gearbox oil has reached the maxi-
mum preset temperature. In this
case the electronic control unit has
an emergency programme.
Anyway, it is suggested to stop the
car, to set the lever to Por Nand to
keep the engine running idle until
the message displayed disappears.
Then start driving again without
taxing the engine.If the message is displayed again,
re-stop the car and let the engine
run idle until the message disap-
pears.
If the interval between the first and
second message appearance is lower
than 15 minutes, stop the car, stop
the engine and wait until the engine-
gearbox unit is completely cold.
Automatic transmission fault
If this message is displayed during
driving, it means that there is a fail-
ure in the automatic gearbox. In this
case the electronic control unit has
an emergency programme.
In such conditions, stop the car and
stop the engine for at least 1 minute.
When the engine is restarted, the
self-diagnosis system could exclude
that failure, that however will be
stored by the electronic control unit.

Do not smoke while
working in the engine
compartment: the pres-
ence of flammable gas and
vapour could cause a fire.
Be careful not to mix up
the various types of fluids
when you are topping up:
they are all mutually incompati-
ble and could damage the car.
Maintenance of your car
should be entrusted to a
Lancia Dealership. For
ordinary routine maintenance
operations which you are able to
carry out yourself, ensure that
you have the necessary tools and
original Lancia spare parts and
fluids available. Do not carry out
servicing operations if you have
no experience.IMPORTANT - Engine oil
If the car is normally driven in one
of the following particularly severe
conditions:
– towing a trailer
– on dirty roads
– for short, repeated trips (less
than 7-8 km) with outside tempera-
ture below zero
– with engine frequently idling or
for long distances at low speed (e.g.
taxi, door-to-door deliveries) or pro-
longed storage
change the engine oil more frequent-
ly than shown in the Service
Schedule.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
Replace the air cleaner more fre-
quently than shown in the Service
Schedule if the car is used on dusty
roads.
If you are in doubt about how often
the engine oil or the air cleaner
should be changed in relation to how
you use the car, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
