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 warning light switches
on and should go out as soon as the
engine 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
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
provided). The warning light may
flash in the following ways, depend-
ing on the version:
– for 1 minute every two hours;
– for 3 minute cycles with the warn-
ing light off for intervals 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 mentioned modes, until the oil
is changed. A specific message will
appear on the display (for versions/
markets, where provided) 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.
If the warning light v
turns on when the vehicle
is travelling (on certain versions
together with the message on the
display) stop the engine immedi-
ately and contact a Lancia Deal-
ership.
WARNING
Note that engine oil is exhausted faster
under the following circumstances:
– use of the vehicle prevalently for city
driving, requiring more frequent re-
generation of DPF
– use of the vehicle for short drives, in
which the engine does not have time
to reach its regular operating temper-
ature
– repeated interruption of the regen-
eration process, signalled by the DPF
warning light coming on.
WARNING
Exhausted engine oil should
be replaced as soon as pos-
sible after the warning light comes
on, never more than 500 km after
the warning light first comes on.
Failure to change the oil within the
first 500 km may result in severe
damage to the engine and will re-
sult in forfeiture of the warranty.
Remember that when the warning
light flashes, it does not mean that
the level of engine oil is low, so if
the light flashes you must not top
up.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
GENERIC INDICATION
(amber)
The warning light turns on
in the following circum-
stances.
Exterior lights failure
The warning light will come on (some
versions only) when a fault to one of
the following lights is detected:
– side/taillights
– brake lights (excluding third brake
light)
– rear fog lights
– direction indicators
– number plate lights.
The fault may be caused by: one or
more burnt lamps, a blow protection
fuse or interruption of the electrical
connection.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
Obstructed particulate trap
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light turns on when the
diesel particulate trap is clogged and
the driving conditions do not enable
to activate automatically the regener-
ation procedure.
è
To allow the regeneration procedure,
keep the car running until the warn-
ing light turns off.
The display will show a dedicated
message.
Engine oil pressure sensor
failure
The warning light turns on when fail-
ure is detected in parking sensors. Go
to a Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.
Rain/dusk sensor failure
The warning light comes on when a
dusk/rain sensor failure is detected.
Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
The display will show a dedicated
message.
Fuel cut-off switch tripped
The warning light comes on when the
fuel cut-off switch trips.
The display will show a dedicated
message. LANCIA CODE
PROTECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE (amber)
Turning the key to MAR, the
warning light flashes once and then
goes off.
If with the ignition key at MAR, the
warning light stays on, this indicates
a possible failure (see “Lancia Code
system” in section “Dashboard and
controls”).
IMPORTANT The turning on at the
same time of the Uand
Ywarning
lights indicates a failure of the Lancia
CODE system.
If with the engine running the warn-
ing light
Yflashes, this means that
the car is not protected by the engine
immobilizer device (see “Lancia Code
system” in section “Dashboard and
controls”).
Contact Lancia Dealership to have all
the key stored.

(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 cap-
tured pollutants (particulate) by the
regeneration process. The warning
light does not come on during every

Side/tail lights and low beams
The warning light comes on when
side/tail lights or low beams are
turned on.
Follow me home
The warning light will turn when this
device is active (see “Follow me
home” in section “Dashboard and
controls”).

Speed limit exceeded
The display will show the dedicated
message when the car exceeds the set
speed limit (see “Multifunctional Dis-
play” in section “Dashboard and con-
trols”).DPF regeneration, but only when dri-
ving conditions require notification of
the driver. To switch the warning
light off, the car must stay in motion
until regeneration has been com-
pleted. The process normally takes
about 15 minutes. The optimum con-
ditions to end the process are achieved
by keeping the car in motion up to
60km/h with an engine 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 work-
shop. A specific message will appear
on the display when the warning light
comes on (for versions/markets, where
provided).
WARNING
Always drive at a speed
appropriate to the traffic
conditions, the weather and speed
limits. The engine may be turned
off while the DPF light is on; how-
ever, repeated interruption of the
regeneration process may result in
premature exhaustion of engine oil.
For this reason it is always advis-
able to wait for the light to go off
before turning off the engine, fol-
lowing the instructions appearing
above. It is not advisable to com-
plete DPF regeneration with the
vehicle stationary

❒short distances (less than 7-8 km)
repeated and with external tem-
peratures below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long
distance low speed driving (e.g.
taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or
in case of a long term inactivity;
❒change engine oil more frequently
than shown on the “Service
Schedule”.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
When the car is used on dusty roads,
change the air cleaner more fre-
quently than shown on the “Service
Schedule”. Call a Lancia Dealership
for doubts regarding engine oil and
air cleaner replacement. IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
It is advisable to replace the filtering
element more frequently if the car is
used in dusty or very polluted places.
Specifically, replace if a lower air flow
into the passenger compartment is
found.
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
Using diesel not complying with Eu-
ropean Specification EN590 may lead
to the need to replace the diesel fuel
filter more frequently than shown in
the “Service Schedule”.IMPORTANT - Battery
Check the battery charge once a year,
preferably before the beginning to
winter, to prevent freezing of the elec-
trolyte.
Perform this inspection more fre-
quently if the car is mainly used for
short distances or if electrical devices
running with the key off are installed,
particularly after-market. Check the
battery level (electrolyte) more fre-
quently than shown on the “Service
Schedule” if the car is used in hot cli-
mates or in particularly demanding
conditions.
Take the car to a Lancia
Dealership for servicing.
Make sure you have the
right equipment, genuine
Lancia spare parts and consumables
for ordinary, minor interventions.
Do not attempt the operations if you
lack the experience.
