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 seri -
ousfailure.
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

Indicate that the car is sta-
tionary according to the laws
in force: emergency lights, refracting
warning triangle, etc. Passengers
should leave the car, particularly if it
is very loaded and wait for the wheel
to be changed away 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.
WARNINGQUICK TYRE
REPAIR KIT FIX
& GO automatic
(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:
– filling pipe B;
– adhesive label Cbearing the
words “max. 80 km/h”, to be at-
tached in a position easily visi-
ble to the driver (on the dash-
board) after tyre repair;
❒informative leaflet fig. 4, used to
ensure the correct use of the quick
tyre repair kit and then given to
the personnel who will handle the
treated tyre; BUMP STARTING
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.
IMPORTANT Remember that the
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
The cylinder contains eth-
ylene glycol. Contains latex:
may cause an allergic reaction.
Harmful if swallowed. Irritant for
the eye. May cause sensitization by
inhalation or contact. Avoid contact
with your eyes, skin and clothes. In
the event of contact, wash immedi-
ately with plenty of water. Do not in-
duce vomiting if swallowed. Rinse
your mouth and drink plenty of wa-
ter. Call a doctor immediately. Keep

sition, start the engine, fit the plug
A-fig. 7in the cigar lighter (or
12V socket) and switch on the
compressor by turning the switch
Dto the I(on) position. Inflate the

For a more accurate reading,
check pressure gauge F-fig. 6with
the compressor off;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impos-
sible to reach at least 1.5 bar, dis-
engage compressor from the valve
and current outlet and move the
car forward by approx. ten metres
in order to distribute the sealing
fluid inside the tyre evenly. Then
repeat the inflation operation;
❒If after this operation it is still im-
possible after 5 minutes to reach
at least 1.8 bar, do not start dri-
ving since the tyre is excessively
damaged and the quick tyre repair
kit cannot guarantee suitable seal-
ing, contact the Lancia Dealership;
fig. 8L0D0485m
Apply the adhesive label in
a position clearly visible by
the driver as a reminder that the tyre
has been treated with the quick re-
pair kit. Drive carefully, particularly
on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Do not accelerate and brake sharply.
WARNING
If the pressure has dropped
below 1.8 bar, do not con-
tinue to drive: the automatic Fix &
Go quick repair kit cannot work
properly because the tyre is exces-
sively damaged. Contact a Lancia
Dealership.
WARNING
❒if the tyre has been inflated to the
pressure in paragraph “Inflation
pressure” in section “Technical
Specifications”, resume driving
immediately;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes,
stop and check again the tyre
pressure again; remember to pull
the handbrake;
❒if, on the other hand, a pressure
of at least 1.8 bar pressure is read,
restore the correct (with engine
running and handbrake on) and
restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the
nearest Lancia Dealership.
FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor may also be used for
restoring pressure only. Release the
quick coupling and connect directly
to the tyre valve; in this way, the
cylinder will not be connected to the
compressor and no sealing fluid will
be injected.

If the hub cap is not in-
stalled properly, it can de-
tach itself when the vehicle is run-
ning. Never tamper with the infla-
tion valve. Never introduce tools of
any kind between rim and tyre.
Check tyre and small spare wheel
pressure regularly referring to the
values shown in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter.
WARNINGImportant notes:
❒the jack cannot be repaired: re-
place with an original spare part if
damaged;
❒no tool other than its cranking de-
vice may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the car in a position so that
it is not a danger for on-coming
traffic and where you can replace
the wheel safely. The ground must
be flat and compact;
❒turn the engine off and pull the
handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒raise the mat on the floor of the
baggage compartment;
❒loosen the fastener A-fig. 10;

Changes or repairs to the
electrical system (electric
control units) carried out incorrectly
and without due consideration for
the technical specifications of the
system can lead to malfunctioning
and generate a fire hazard.
WARNING
Halogen lamps contain gas
under pressure. Their
breaking can cause scattering of
glass fragments.
WARNING
BULB TYPES fig. 16
Various types of bulbs are fitted to
your car:
A All glass bulb: clipped into place.
Pull to extract.
B Bayonet bulbs: to remove this type
of bulb from its holder, press the
bulb and turn it anticlockwise.
C Cylindrical bulbs: release from the
contacts to extract.
D-E Halogen bulbs: release the fas
tening clip from the correspond
ing seat to remove the lamp.
L0D0178mfig. 16
The rear sidelights and
brake lights and the third
brake light are LEDs so in the event
of malfunctioning, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
WARNING
IMPORTANT A slight misting may ap-
pear on the internal surface of the
headlight: this does not indicate a fault
and is caused by low temperature and
the degree of humidity in the air. Mist-
ing will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The pres-
ence of drops inside the headlights in-
dicates infiltration of water. Contact a
Lancia Dealership
