Brake pad wear (amber)
The warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when the front brake pads show
signs of wear; under these circumstances have
them replaced as soon as possible. The display shows the
dedicated message.
IMPORTANT Because the car is equipped with a wear de-
tection system only for the front brake pads, when these
are replaced the rear brake pads should also be checked
for wear.

Airbag failure (red)
When the key is turned to the MAR position
the warning light comes on but should go out
after a few seconds. The warning light stays on
constantly if there is a failure in the air bag system.
The display will show a dedicated message.
¬
If the ¬warning light does not come on
when the key is turned to MAR or if it stays
on with the car in motion (together with the
message on the display) there could be a fault in the
restraint systems; under these circumstances, the
air bags or pretensioners may not be deployed in
the event of an impact or, more rarely, they could
be deployed accidentally. Before continuing your
journey, contact a Lancia Dealership to have the
system checked immediately.
The failure of warning light ¬is indicated
by warning light
“flashing for longer than
the usual four seconds, thus signalling that
the front passenger airbag is deactivated. In ad-
dition, the air bag system automatically disables
the air bags on the passenger side (both front and
side air bags). In this case, the warning light
¬
may not indicate failures in the retaining system.
Contact a Lancia Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.
EBD failure (red)
If warning lightsxand>are on at the same
time with the engine running, this indicates
an EBD system failure or that the system is
not available. Early locking of the rear wheels
may occur in the event of sharp braking, pos-
sibly causing the car to swerve.
Drive very carefully to a Lancia Dealership to
have the system inspected immediately. The display will
show a dedicated message.

This warning light comes on constantly when
the car is not moving and the driver’s seat belt
is not correctly fastened. The warning light will
flash and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion
and the front seat belts are not correctly fastened.

Low battery charge (red)
The warning light switches on when the igni-
tion key is turned to MAR, but it should switch
off as soon as the engine has started (with the
engine running at idle speed a brief delay before going
out is acceptable).
If the warning light stays on, constantly or flashing, con-
tact a Lancia Dealership immediately.

Continuously on: low engine oil pressure
(red)
Flashing:exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF – red)
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light comes
on, but should go out as soon as the engine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light will turn on constantly together with
the message on the display (for versions/markets where
provided) when the system detects that the engine oil
pressure is too low.
v
If the warning light vswitches on when
the car is travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the display) stop
the engine immediately and contact a Lancia
Dealership.

Degraded engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light
comes on, and never more than 500 km af-
ter it first comes on. Failure to observe the above
may result in severe damage to the engine and in-
validate the warranty. Please note also that the
switching on of this warning light does not depend
on the oil quantity in the engine; when the warn-
ing light flashes, never add oil.

“Dualdrive” electric power steering
failure (red)
This warning light switches on when the igni-
tion key is turned to MAR, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on,
you will not have steering assistance and the effort re-
quired to operate the steering wheel will be increased;
steering is, however, possible. In this case, go to a Lancia
Dealership. The display will show a dedicated message.

2. Degraded engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will turn on flashing together with the
message on the display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided). Depending on the versions, the warning light
flashing modes are as follows:
– one minute every two hours;
– for three minute cycles with the warning light off for
intervals of five seconds until oil is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start up the
warning light will continue flashing as above described
until the oil is changed. For those versions/markets where
provided, the display shows a dedicated message together
with the warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be consid-
ered as fault, it simply informs the customer that the oil
needs to be changed following normal car use.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is ac-
celerated by:
– mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF re-
generation process more frequent
– use of the car for short journeys, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process, sig-
nalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

Fuel reserve (amber)
When the key is turned to the MAR position the
warning light comes on but should go out af-
ter a few seconds. The warning light switches on
when about 5 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
The display shows the 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
Always drive at a speed appropriate to the
traffic conditions, the weather and speed lim-
its. The engine can also be switched off if the
DPF warning light is on; nevertheless, repeated in-
terruptions of the regeneration process could cause an
early decay of engine oil. For this reason, always wait
until the warning light switches off before stopping the
engine as described above. It is not a good idea to com-
plete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.ignition system that could cause excessive exhaust emis-
sions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability
and high fuel consumption. On some versions the display
shows the dedicated message. Under these conditions,
you may continue travelling at moderate speed without
demanding excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged
use of the car with the warning light on may cause dam-
age. Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light goes off if the failure disappears, but
it is still stored by the system.
Petrol engines only
If the warning light is flashing, this indicates that the cat-
alytic converter may be damaged.
If the warning light flashes, it is necessary to release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until
the warning light stops flashing; continue the journey at
moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that
may cause further flashing and contact a Lancia Deal-
ership as soon as possible.
EOBD/injection system failure (amber)
Under normal conditions, when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on, but should switch off as soon as the
engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or switches on whilst dri-
ving, that means that the injection system is not work-
ing properly; in particular, if the warning light switches
on constantly, this indicates a malfunction in the supply/
U
If, turning the ignition key to MAR, the warn-
ing light Udoes not turn on or if it turns on
steadily or flashing when travelling (on cer-
tain versions together with the message on the dis-
play), contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible. The operation of the warning light Umay be
checked by the traffic control authorities using spe-
cific devices. Always comply with the traffic regu-
lations in force in the country where you are driving.
