system and irregular engine operation. If the
cwarning light comes on (together with a message
on the display on some versions), go to a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible to have the system

this appears immediately after refuelling: in this
case, stop the engine immediately and contact a
Lancia Dealership.

Lancia Code system failure (amber)
This warning light (or symbol on the display),
when on constantly with the ignition key turned
to MAR, indicates a possible failure (see “Lancia
Code system” in chapter 1).
If the
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) is blink-
ing, this means that the vehicle is not protected by the en-
gine inhibitor device (see “Lancia Code system” in chap-
ter 1).
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have all the keys stored.
Alarm failure (where provided)

Break-in attempt (where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display) comes on
when a break-in attempt is detected. Contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.
The display will show a dedicated message.Check tyre pressure
This warning light (where provided) comes on when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should go off after
a few seconds.
The warning light (or symbol in the display) lights up to
indicate that a tyre is flat (see “T.P.M.S. system ” in this
chapter).
Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will show the
indications corresponding to each tyre in sequence. Restore
the correct inflation pressure values as soon as possible (see
paragraph “Cold inflation pressures” in chapter “6”).
Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
This warning light (where provided) comes on when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should go off after
a few seconds.
Should it be necessary to travel at a speed higher than 160
km/h, inflate the tyres to the pressure value specified in
paragraph “Inflation pressures” in chapter “6”.
If the T.P.M.S. system (where provided) detects that the
inflation pressure of one or more tyres is unsuitable for the
speed being maintained, it lights up the warning light or
symbol (together with a message shown on the display)
(see paragraph “Insufficient tyre inflation pressure” in this
chapter). The warning light remains on until the vehicle
speed is reduced to below a certain threshold (see para-
graph “T.P.M.S. system” in this chapter). Insufficient tyre inflation pressure
(where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
comes on when the ignition key is turned to MAR,
but it should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light (amber), or symbol on the display (red),
lights up when the inflation pressure of one or more tyres
falls below a preset level.
In this way the T.P.M.S. system warns the driver that one
or more tyres may be dangerously flat and liable to punc-
ture (see “ T.P.M.S. system” in this chapter).
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more
tyres flat as vehicle driveability may be compromised. Stop
the car, avoiding harsh braking or steering manoeuvres. Re-
place the wheel immediately with the small spare wheel
(where provided) or carry out a repair using the dedicated
kit (see the paragraph on “Replacing a wheel” in chapter
4) and contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
