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.

TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL FEATURES
The Trip computer is used to display information on car
operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function
allows you to define two separate trips called “Trip A” and
“Trip B” for monitoring the car’s complete mission (trip)
in a mutually independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset - start of new mission).
Trip A can be used to display figures relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average fuel consumption
– Instantaneous fuel consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
– Trip A Reset
The Trip B function is used to display information relat-
ing to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average fuel consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
– Trip B ResetNote “Trip B” functions may be excluded (see “Enabling
Trip B”). “Range” and “Instantaneous fuel consumption”
parameters cannot be reset.
Values displayed
Range
Approximately indicates the distance the vehicle can trav-
el with the present amount of fuel in the tank. The message
“- - - -” will appear on the display in the following cases:
– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with the engine running for a long time.
IMPORTANT Changes in the range value can be affect-
ed by many factors: driving style (see “Driving style” in
“Starting up and driving”), type of route (motorway, ur-
ban cycle, mountain roads, etc…), conditions of use of the
car (load, tyre pressure, etc.). The above notes should
therefore be taken into consideration when planning a trip.
Distance travelled
This indicates the approximate distance covered from the
start of the new mission.

Average fuel consumption
This value shows the approximate average fuel con-
sumption from the start of the new mission.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
This indicates any change in fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The message “- - - -” will appear on the
display if the car is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the average speed of the car based on
the overall time elapsed since the start of the new mission.
Travel time
This value shows the time elapsed since the start of the
new mission.
Trip Reset
This resets the Trip computer settingsTRIP button fig. 8
The TRIP button is located on the right-hand lever. With
the ignition key turned to MAR, this button allows you
to view the previously described parameters and also ze-
ro them to begin a new mission:
– short press to display the different values;
– long press to reset and then start a new mission.

THE LANCIA CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking system which increases
protection against an attempted theft of the car. It is auto-
matically activated when the ignition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during ignition by an antenna built in-
to the ignition device. This signal is the ‘password’ which
changes at each ignition and which the control unit uses
to recognise the key and allow ignition.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning the ignition key
to MAR, the Lancia CODE system control unit sends an
acknowledgement code to the engine control unit to de-
activate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the control unit of the Lancia
CODE system has acknowledged the code received from
the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Lancia
CODE system deactivates the functions of the electronic
engine control unit.
If the code is not recognised correctly during ignition, the
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) comes on.In this case turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if
the lock persists try again with the spare set of keys. Con-
tact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the en-
gine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be
stored by the system control unit. To have new keys mem-
orised (up to a maximum number of eight keys), contact
a Lancia Dealership and be ready to present all the keys
you have at present, the CODE card, a personal identity
document and the car ownership documents. The codes
of any keys not presented during the memorising proce-
dure will be deleted. This is to prevent lost or stolen keys
from starting the engine.
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) lit up
during driving
❍If the Ywarning light (or symbol in the display)
comes on, this means that the system is running a self-
diagnosis test (caused, for example, by a voltage drop).
❍If the Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) remains
on, contact a Lancia dealership.
The electronic components inside the key may
be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp
knocks.
