INITIAL CHECK
Turning the ignition key to MAR, the multifunction display shows the message “Checking”: the diagnostic
phase of all the electronic systems on the car has started. This lasts few seconds: if no faults are detected, when
the engine has started, the display shows the “Check OK” message.
See section “Warning lights and messages” if faults are found.
Is the
engine
started?YES
If no failures are
present
The “Service schedule” includes vehicle maintenance every 20,000 km (or 12,000 mi) or every year; this is shown automatically,
with the ignition key at MAR, starting from 2,000 km (or 1,240 mi) or 30 days from this deadline and it is shown again every 200
km (or 124 mi) or 3 days. For 1.3 Multijet versions, see “Care and Maintenance” in section “Service schedule to change engine oil
and filter and air cleaner. When a programmed maintenance interval (coupon) is near to come, turning the ignition key to MAR, will
display the message “Service” followed by the number of km, or days to go before car servicing. “Scheduled servicing” message is
displayed in km, miles or days according to the approaching service interval. Contact a Lancia Dealership to carry out any service
operation provided by the “Service schedule” or “Annual inspection plan”, and to reset the display.
If the display shows a failure
message, see details in section
“Warning lights and messages”.

TO CLOSE THE BONNET
Proceed as follows:
❒hold the bonnet up with one hand and with the
other remove rod C from recess D and replace it
in its locking device E;❒lower the bonnet at approx. 20 centimetres from
the engine compartment and then let it drop,
ensuring that it is fully closed and not just held
in position by the safety catch. If the bonnet does
not close properly, do not push it down but open
it again and repeat the above procedure.
IMPORTANT Always check that the bonnet is
closed properly to avoid its opening while the car is
travelling.
WARNINGIf the supporting rod is not positioned correctly the bonnet may fall violently.
WARNING

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis)
allows continuos diagnosis of the components of the
car correlated with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the warning
lightUon the instrument panel (together, where
provided, with the message on the reconfigurable
multifunction display - see the “Warning lights”
chapter) when these components are no longer in
peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep system efficiency under control;
❒to warn when a fault causes emission levels to
increase;
❒to warn of the need to replace deteriorated
components.The system also has a diagnostic connector that can
be interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in the control
unit, together with a series of specific parameters
for engine operation and diagnosis. This check can
also be carried out by the traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the inconvenience,
to check the system completely, Lancia Dealerships
are obliged to run a bench test and, if necessary,
road tests which may also call for a long journey.
If turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light Udoes not turn on or if, while travelling, it
turns on glowing steadily or flashing, (on some versions together with the message on the
reconfigurable multifunction display), contact Lancia Dealership as soon as possible. The
operation of warning light Ucan be checked by the traffic police. Attain to the rules enforced in
the country where the car is being used.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (T.P.M.S.)
IMPORTANT Failure indications will not be stored
and therefore will not be displayed when turning
the engine off and on again. If failure persists, the
control unit will send warning indications to the
instrument panel only after a few seconds when the
car is moving.
IMPORTANT T.P.M.S. system cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops (e.g.: tyre burst).
In this event, brake the car cautiously and avoid
sudden steering.
IMPORTANT Cross switching of rear tyres with
front tyres or replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa involves T.P.M.S. system set-up
that shall be performed at Lancia Dealerships only.IMPORTANT The T.P.M.S. system requires specific
equipment. Apply to Lancia Dealerships for
compatible accessories (wheels, wheel caps, etc.).
Other accessories could impair regular system
operation.
Due to the particular valve characteristics, use only
Lancia-approved tyre repair sealing fluids. Other
products could impair regular system operation.
IMPORTANT Tyre pressure could change according
to outside temperature. For this reason the T.P.M.S.
system could temporarily indicate low tyre pressure.
In this event check pressure with cold tyres and
restore proper inflation values if required.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with T.P.M.S.
system, tyre and/or rim changing should be
performed adopting special precautions. To avoid
bad installation of sensors or damages, have these
operations performed by Lancia Dealership
qualified personnel only.
IMPORTANT If after repairing a punctured tyre
with the Fix&Go kit and restoring the initial
conditions the flat tyre warning light continues to
stay on, contact Lancia Dealership.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be noted:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-
ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❒disconnect battery terminals (first disconnect the
negative terminal) and check the battery charge.
This check is to be repeated every three months
when the car is left inactive. Recharge if the
optical indicator shows a dark colour without the
central green area;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds readily available;❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper blades and
lift them off the glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic
as they do not allow moisture on the car body to
evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the normal
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery from the
electric system, check its charge every month
and recharge it if the optical indicator shows a
dark colour without the central green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID HIGH TEMPERATURE
Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning light on the dial turns
on, but it should go off after few 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
light comes on again, contact a Lancia Dealership;

EBD SYSTEM FAILURE - System unavailable
The turning on at the same time of the xand>warning lights on
the dial (together with the message on the display) with the engine
running indicates that the EBD system is inefficient or unavailable.
In this case heavy braking may cause the rear wheels to lock before
time, with the possibility of skidding.
Drive with the utmost care to the nearest Lancia Dealership to have
the system checked.
