Light stays on: low engine oil pressure
(red)
Flashing light: exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR (ON), the warn-
ing light switches on and should go out as soon as the en-
gine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on constantly (for
versions/markets, where provided) along with the mes-
sage on the display when the system detects that engine
oil pressure is low.
v
Exhausted engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light comes
on, never more than 500 km after the warn-
ing light first comes on. Failure to change the oil with-
in the first 500 km may result in severe damage to
the engine and will result in forfeiture of the war-
ranty. Remember that when the warning light flash-
es, it does not mean that the level of engine oil is low,
so if the light flashes you must not top up.
If the warning light vturns on when the
vehicle is travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the display) stop the
engine immediately and contact a Lancia Dealership.
2. Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific message will
appear on the display (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided). The warning light may flash in the following ways,
depending on the version:
– for 1 minute every two hours;
– for 3 minute cycles with the warning light off for inter-
vals of 5 seconds until oil is changed.After the initial warning, each time the engine is started up,
the warning light will continue to flash in the above men-
tioned modes, until the oil is changed. A specific message
will appear on the display (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) in addition to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the
car is defective but simply informs the driver that it is now
necessary to change the oil as a result of regular vehicle use.
Note that engine oil is exhausted faster under the follow-
ing circumstances:
– use of the vehicle prevalently for city driving, requiring
more frequent regeneration of DPF
– use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does
not have time to reach its regular operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process, signalled
by the DPF warning light coming on.

Excessive engine coolant temperature
(red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out after
a few seconds. The warning light turns on when the en-
gine is overheated. If the warning light comes on, pro-
ceed as follows:
❍during normal travel: stop the car, stop the engine and
check that the water level in the reservoir is not un-
der the MIN line.
u
If it is, 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 MIN and MAX ref-
erences on the reservoir. Also check for leaks. Should the
warning light turn on again at the next start-up, contact
a Lancia Dealership.
❍If the vehicle is used under harsh conditions (e.g. tow-
ing of trailers uphill or fully loaded vehicle): slow down
and stop the car if the warning light stays on. Stop
for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slight-
ly accelerated to favour better coolant circulation. Then
stop the engine. Check correct liquid level as described
above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.

Cleaning DPF (particulate filter) in
progress (only Multijet versions with
DPF - amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR (ON),
the warning light switches on but it must switch off after
a few seconds. The warning light comes on constantly to
notify the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate
captured pollutants (particulate) by the regeneration
process. The warning light does not come on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions re-
quire notification of the driver. To switch the warning light
off, the car must stay in motion until regeneration has been
completed. The process normally takes about 15 minutes.
The optimum conditions to end the process are achieved
by keeping the car in motion up to 60km/h with an en-
gine speed higher than 2,000 rpm. This light coming on
is not a car defect and therefore the car does not need to
go to the workshop. A specific message will appear on
the display when the warning light comes on (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).

Steering corrector not available
This warning light (or symbol on the display) comes on
when the steering corrector is not available. The display
will show a dedicated message.Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traf-
fic conditions, the weather and speed limits. The
engine may be turned off while the DPF light is
on; however, repeated interruption of the regeneration
process may result in premature exhaustion of engine oil.
For this reason it is always advisable to wait for the li-
ght to go off before turning off the engine, following the
instructions appearing above. It is not advisable to com-
plete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
