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.

Indicate that the car is sta-
tionary according to the
laws in force: emergency lights, re-
fracting warning triangle, etc. Pas-
sengers should leave the car, partic-
ularly if it is very loaded and wait

from on-coming traffic. In case of
steep slopes or rough slopes, place
wedges or other materials suitable
to stop the vehicle under the wheels.

(if provided for)
The quick tyre repair kit Fix & Go
automaticfig. 3is placed in the boot.
The kit includes:
❒cylinderAcontaining sealing liq-
uid and fitted with:

Never jump start the engine by push-
ing, towing or driving downhill. This
could cause a flow of fuel into the cat-
alytic converter and damage it beyond
repair.

brake booster and the power steering
system are not operating until the en-
gine is started, a greater effort will
therefore be required to press the
brake pedal or turn the steering
wheel.

WARNING
IMPORTANT Do not use the Fix &

ning on a flat.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre re-
pair kit is effective with external tem-
peratures between –20 °C and +50 °C.
The sealing fluid will expire.
The kit cannot be used to
repair damage to the tyre
sidewall. Do not use the quick re-
pair kit if the tyre was damaged by
running on a flat.
The damage cannot be repaired
with the kit if the wheel rim is
damaged (deformation of the chan-
nel causing leakage of air). Do not
remove the foreign body (screw or
nail) from the tyre.
Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive min-
utes. Risk of overheating. The
quick repair kit is not suitable for
definitive repairs. The tyres may
only be repaired temporarily.
WARNING
Should any tyre get punc-
tured due to foreign bodies,
you can repair it if the
damage doesn’t exceed 4
mm on the tread and on the shoul-
der of the tyre.
Replace the cylinder con-
taining the expired sealing
fluid. Dispose of the cylinder
and the sealant liquid prop-
erly. Dispose of according to the na-
tional and local laws in force.

A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a bulb is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is in-
tact before replacing it: refer to the
“If a fuse blows” paragraph in this
chapter for fuse location;
❒Before changing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒For safety reasons, always check
the height of the headlight beam
after changing a bulb.
Halogen lamps must be
handled holding the metal-
lic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb
with your fingers may reduce the in-
tensity of the emitted light and even
compromise duration of the lamp it-
self. In the event of accidental con-
tact, rub the bulb with a cloth
dampened with alcohol and allow to
dry.
