“CITY” appears on the display) when the
“Dual drive” electric power steering system is ac-
tivated by pressing the relevant control button. Pressing
the button again causes the “CITY” indication to go off.
CITY
Excessive engine coolant temperature
(red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out after
a few seconds. The warning light turns on when the en-
gine is overheated. If the warning light comes on, pro-
ceed as follows:
during normal travel: stop the car, stop the engine and
check that the water level in the reservoir is not un-
der the MIN line. If it is, wait for a few minutes for
the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open
the cap, top-up with coolant and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX references on the reser-
voir. Also check for leaks. Should the warning light
turn on again at the next start-up, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
u
If the vehicle is used under harsh conditions (e.g. tow-
ing of trailers uphill or fully loaded vehicle): slow down
and stop the car if the warning light stays on. Stop
for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slight-
ly accelerated to favour better coolant circulation. Then
stop the engine. Check correct liquid level as described
above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Doors not closed correctly (red)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
lights up when one or more doors are not closed
correctly. A buzzer will sound when doors are
open and the car is moving. On the multifunctional dis-
play, the warning light also comes on when the bonnet
and/or tailgate are not closed correctly. The display will
show a dedicated message.

Diesel particulate filter clogged
(amber) (Multijet versions)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go off after
a few seconds. The warning light comes on when the diesel
particulate filter is clogged and the driving conditions do
not allow the automatic activation of the regeneration cy-
cle.

EOBD/injection system failure (amber)
Under normal conditions, the warning light
comes on when the ignition key is turned to
MAR, but should go off as soon as the engine is
started.
If the warning light remains on or comes on whilst driving,
this means that the injection system is not working prop-
erly; in particular, if the warning light comes on constantly,
this indicates a malfunction in the supply/ignition sys-
tem that could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a pos-
sible loss of performance, poor driveability and high fuel
consumption.
On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed. Un-
der these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at
moderate speed without demanding excessive effort from
the engine. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light
on may cause damage. Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon
as possible.
The warning light goes out after the fault is cleared, and
the indication is stored in the system.
Petrol engines only
If the warning light is flashing, this indicates that the cat-
alytic converter may be damaged.
If the light flashes, release the accelerator pedal to lower
the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flash-
ing; continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid
driving conditions that may cause further flashing and con-
tact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.

Steering corrector not available
This warning light (or symbol on the display) comes on
when the steering corrector is not available. The display
will show a dedicated message.

TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL FEATURES
The Trip computer is used to display information on car
operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function
allows you to define two separate trips called “Trip A” and
“Trip B” for monitoring the car’s complete mission (trip)
in a mutually independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset - start of new mission).
Trip A can be used to display figures relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average fuel consumption
– Instantaneous fuel consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
– Trip A Reset
The Trip B function is used to display information relat-
ing to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average fuel consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
– Trip B ResetNote “Trip B” functions may be excluded (see “Enabling
Trip B”). “Range” and “Instantaneous fuel consumption”
parameters cannot be reset.
Values displayed
Range
Approximately indicates the distance the vehicle can trav-
el with the present amount of fuel in the tank. The message
“- - - -” will appear on the display in the following cases:
– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with the engine running for a long time.
IMPORTANT Changes in the range value can be affect-
ed by many factors: driving style (see “Driving style” in
“Starting up and driving”), type of route (motorway, ur-
ban cycle, mountain roads, etc…), conditions of use of the
car (load, tyre pressure, etc.). The above notes should
therefore be taken into consideration when planning a trip.
Distance travelled
This indicates the approximate distance covered from the
start of the new mission.
