WARNING
LIGHTS AND

GENERAL WARNINGS
Lighting of a warning light is associated
to a specific message and/or buzzer
when applicable. These indications are
brief and precautionary and as such
must not be considered as exhaustive
and/or alternative to the information
contained in the Owner’s Handbook,
which you are recommended to read
carefully in all cases. Always refer to
the information in this chapter in
the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications on
the display fall into either of two cat-
egories:seriousfailure and less se-
riousfailure.
Seriousfailures indicate a “cycle” of
warning messages that stay on until
the cause of the failure is eliminated.
Less seriousfailures are indicated by
a limited warning “cycle”.
PressMODEto stop the warning cy-
cle in both cases. The warning light
on the instrument panel will stay on
until the cause of the failure is elimi-
nated.LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL (red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
When the ignition key is moved to
MARthe warning light turns on and
should go off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the
level of the brake fluid in the reservoir
falls below the minimum level due to
possible leaks in the circuit.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
x
Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the
handbrake is on.
On certain versions, if the car is mov-
ing the buzzer also triggers.
IMPORTANT If the warning light
turns on when travelling, check that
the handbrake is not engaged.
AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warn-
ing light turns on and should
go off after a few seconds.
The warning light stays on steady if
there is a failure in the airbag system.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
¬
If the warning light x
turns on when the car is
travelling (together with the mes-
sage on the display on certain ver-
sions) stop the engine immediately
and contact a Lancia Dealership.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light ¬does not turn on or stays on during
car travel (together with the mes-
sage on the multifunctional dis-
play, where provided), a failure
may have occurred in the restraint
systems. In this case the airbags or
pretensioners may not be deployed
after an impact or, in a minor
number of cases, they may be de-
ployed accidentally. Contact Lan-
cia Dealership immediately to
have the system checked immedi-
ately.
The failure of the warning
light
¬is indicated by the
warning light flashing longer than
the expected 4 seconds“, thus sig-
nalling that the front passenger
airbag is deactivated. In addition,
the airbag system automatically
disables the airbag on the passen-
ger’s side (both front and side
airbags, where provided). In this
case, the warning light
¬does
not necessarily indicate a failure
in the restraining systems. Contact
Lancia Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
WARNING
WARNING
HOT ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after
a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the
engine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on, proceed
as follows:
❒during normal travel: stop the
car, stop the engine and check that
the water level in the vessel is not
under the MINline. If this is the
case, 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 MINandMAX
reference lines on the vessel. Also
check for leakages. Should the
warning light turn on again at the
next start-up, contact Lancia Deal-
ership.
u
❒If the vehicle is used under severe
conditions(e.g. towing of trailers
uphill or fully loaded vehicle): slow
down and stop the car if the warn-
ing light stays on. Stop for 2 or 3
minutes with the engine running
and slightly accelerated to favour
better coolant circulation. Then stop
the engine. Check correct fluid level
as described above.
IMPORTANT Under severe use of the
car, keep the engine on and slightly
accelerated for a few minutes before
switching it off.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
LOW BATTERY
CHARGE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go out as
soon as the engine is started (with the
engine running at idle speed a brief
delay in going out is allowed). If the
warning light stays on, immediately
contact Lancia Dealership.

(petrol versions - amber)
Injection system failure
When the ignition key is moved to
MAR, the warning light turns on and
should go out as soon as the engine is
started.If the warning light stays on or turns
on during car travel, it indicates that
the injection system is not operating
correctly, which could cause reduced
performance, poor drivability and
high consumption levels.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
In these conditions, the car can con-
tinue travelling at moderate speed
without demanding excessive effort
from the engine. In any case, go to a
Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
EOBD engine control system
failure
Under normal conditions, when the
ignition key is moved to MAR, the
warning light turns on and should go
off after engine start-up. This indi-
cates that the warning light is work-
ing correctly. If the warning light ei-
ther stays on or comes on during car
travel:
❒steady light: indicates a fault in the
supply/ignition system which could
cause high emissions at the ex-
haust, possible reduced perfor-
mances, poor drivability and high
consumption levels. U
The display will show the dedicated
message.
In these conditions, the car can con-
tinue 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 Deal-
ership as soon as possible. The warn-
ing light goes out after the fault is
cleared, and the indication is stored in
the system.
❒flashing light: indicates the possi-
bility of damage to the catalyser
(see “EOBD system” in section
“Dashboard and controls”).
If the warning light flashes, release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed
of the engine until the warning light
stops flashing; continue the journey at
moderate speed, trying to avoid dri-
ving conditions that may cause fur-
ther flashing. Finally, contact Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.
