significantly. In this event, stop the engine and go to a Lan-
cia Dealership.INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS
General warnings
The lighting up of a warning light is associated with a spe-
cific message and/or buzzer when applicable. These in-
dications 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. Al-
ways refer to the information in this chapter in the event
of a failure indication.
Low brake fluid level (red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out af-
ter a few seconds. The warning light comes on
when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls be-
low the minimum level due to possible leaks in the circuit.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Handbrake on (red)
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 turns on when the handbrake is on. If
the car is moving a buzzer is also triggered.
IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on with the ve-
hicle in motion, check that the handbrake is not engaged.

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.
To allow the regeneration cycle to take place, keep the car
running until the warning light turns off.
The display will show a dedicated message.
h
Fuel reserve (amber)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go off af-
ter a few seconds. The warning light comes on
when about 5 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
The display will show a dedicated message.
IMPORTANT The warning light will blink to indicate a
system failure. Go to a Lancia Dealership to have the sys-
tem checked.
K
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.
U
Steering corrector not available
