ENGAGED GEAR DISPLAYING
One second after turning the ignition key to MAR, the gear engaged
and the last operating mode adopted (AUTO or MANUAL) will be
displayed on the display:
N = neutral;
1 = first gear;
2 = second gear
3 = third gear;
4 = fourth gear;
5 = fifth gear;
R = reverse.
If the ECO function is on, the display will show E (Economy) next to
the gear engaged.
IMPORTANT If after 10 seconds (with ignition key to MAR) the
display does not show the gear engaged, turn the ignition key to
STOP and wait for the display to turn off, then repeat system switch
on. If the fault persists, contact Lancia Dealership.

STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine can be started either with a gear engaged or in neutral N,
always press the brake pedal first.
After starting:
❒the gearbox sets to neutral N automatically
❒lever A keeps the same position it had before starting
❒the display shows N and a buzzer will indicate if the lever position
and the gear engaged are not matching
❒gears that can be engaged are: 1st, 2nd or reverse R gear.
IMPORTANT When trying to start the engine with gearbox not in
neutral (any gearshift lever position other than N and without
pressing the brake pedal, the multifunction display will show a
dedicated message (see paragraph “Warning lights and messages”).
In this event, to start the engine just repeat operation keeping the
brake pedal pressed.

WARNING
If the engine fails to start with the gear engaged, the driver is informed of the
potentially dangerous situation due to the fact that the gearbox is in neutral by
the buzzer.

PARKING THE CAR
To park the car safely it is absolutely necessary to
press the brake pedal and to engage first gear or
reverse R and also the hand brake if the car is on a
slope; it is also absolutely necessary to wait for the
multifunction display showing the gear engaged to
go off before releasing the brake pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with gearbox in
neutral N.
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒With the car stopped and a gear engaged always
keep the brake pedal pressed until deciding to
move off, then release the brake pedal and
accelerate gradually;
❒during prolonged halts with the engine running it
is advisable to keep the gearbox in neutral N;
❒when the car is parked facing uphill, to safeguard
clutch efficiency do not use the accelerator to
keep the car still since clutch overheating could
damage it. Use the brake pedal and press the
accelerator pedal only when deciding to move off;❒use second gear only when more control is needed
for moving off manoeuvres with poor grip;
❒if, in reverse gear R, first gear is to be engaged or
vice versa, shift gear only when the car is stopped
completely and with the brake pedal pressed;
❒though highly inadvisable, if when travelling
downhill for some unexpected reason the car is
set to neutral N, when the engagement of a gear
is requested, the system automatically engages
the best gear in relation to the speed of the car to
allow the correct transmission of torque to the
wheels;
❒when travelling downhill with a gear engaged and
the accelerator released (if the car is moving),
beyond a pre-established speed, the system
engages the clutch automatically to give the car
adequate engine braking.

GENERAL WARNINGS
Failure indications shown on the reconfigurable
multifunction display together with buzzer
sounding (adjustable) and warning light (if any)
coming on on the cluster, are accompanied by
specific warning messages (e.g.: “Switch off
engine”, etc...). These indications are concise and
cautionary and are aimed to suggest the prompt
action the driver must adopt when a car
malfunctioning appears. These indications,
however, shall not be considered as exhaustive
and/or as an alternative to the specifications
contained in this “Owner Handbook”, which shall
always be read through carefully and thoroughly. In
case of failure indication always refer to the
specifications contained in this section.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed on the
reconfigurable multifunction display are divided
into two categories: very serious failures and
serious/minor failures.
The message and the warning indication
corresponding to very serious failures are displayed
alternately for few seconds. This “cycle” is repeated
indefinitely and it stops any previous indication on
the display. It is displayed every time the ignition
key is turned to MAR, until the cause of
malfunctioning is removed. Should failure disappear, message and warning light
will however stay on for about 2 seconds.
Eliminating the failure, the warning light and the
displayed message will go off. It is possible to stop
this “cycle” by pressing button Q; in this case the
screen active before the failure will be resumed and
the warning light will stay on until eliminating the
failure cause.
The message and the warning indication
corresponding to serious/minor failures are
displayed alternately for few seconds. This “cycle”
is repeated for about 20 seconds and then goes off,
but it comes on again every time the ignition key is
turned to MAR.
Should failure disappear during the 20 seconds
displaying, message and warning light will stay on
for about 2 seconds. Eliminating the failure, the
warning light and the displayed message will go off.
At the end of the display cycle (which lasts approx.
20 seconds), or if button Qis pressed, the screen
active before the failure will be resumed and the
warning light will stay on until eliminating the
failure cause.
Q= Press button “MODE” for less than two seconds
R= Press button “MODE” for over two seconds

The warning light turns on (together with the message on the display)
when the engine is overheated. If the warning light comes on when
driving, proceed as follows:
❒normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and
check whether the water level in the reservoir is not below the MIN
mark. Otherwise wait for few seconds to allow engine cooling, then
open slowly and carefully the cap, top up coolant and check
whether its level is falling between MIN and MAX marks in the
reservoir. Check visually any leak. If when restarting the warning
