mance, poor handling and high con-
sumption levels.
In these conditions it is possible to
continue driving without however
demanding heavy effort or high
speeds. Prolonged use of the car with

If the ¬warning light
does not turn on when
turning the ignition key to
MAR or if it stays on when travel-
ling, (together with message on
display) this could indicate a fail-
ure in safety retaining systems; un-
der this condition air bags or pre-
tensioners could not trigger in the
event of collision or, in a restricted
number of cases, they could trig-
ger accidentally. Stop the car and
contact Lancia Dealership to have
the system checked immediately.

Turning the ignition key
toMAR, the warning light turns on
but it should go off after a few sec-
onds.

JTD versions)
In normal conditions, turning the
ignition key to MAR, the warning
light turns on but it should go off
after a few seconds.
If the warning light stays on or turns
on while travelling together with the
message “ENGINE CONTROL SYS-
TEM FAULT” on the multifunction
display, this indicates that the injec-
tion system is not working perfectly
with possible lack of performance,
poor handling and high consumption.
In these conditions it is possible to
continue driving without however
requiring heavy effort or high speed
from the engine. In any case, contact
aLancia Dealershipas soon as
possible.
Do not use the car for long periods
at high speed with this warning light
on since this could result in serious
damages especially in case of irregu-
lar operation or misfiring.

Flashing- indicates the possibility
of damage to the catalyst (see
“EOBD system” in this chapter).
If the warning light flashes, it is
necessary to release the accelerator
pedal to lower the speed of the
engine until the warning light stops
flashing; continue driving at moder-
ate speed, trying to avoid driving
conditions that may cause further
flashing and contact a Lancia

flashing when travelling, contact
a Lancia Dealership.

toMAR, the instrument
panel warning light turns on but it
should go off after a few seconds.
When there is failure the warning
light stays on or comes on when
travelling together with message

the braking system keeps its effec-
tiveness unchanged, but without the
potential offered by the ABS system.
It is however recommended to con-
tact a LanciaDealershipas soon
as possible.
In the event of instrument panel
warning light failure, the warning
light on the multifunction display
comes on together with message
“ABS INDICATOR FAULT”: con-
tact a Lancia Dealershipas soon

ding, stop the car immediately
and contact a Lancia Dealership.
