PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures
during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire
hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous
diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions
to ensure better respect for the environment.ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical ac-
cessories (that may gradually drain the battery), visit
aLancia Dealership. They can calculate the overall
electrical requirement and check that the car’s elec-
tric system can support the required load.
CODE CARD
Keep the card in a safe place, not in the car. We rec-
ommend that you always carry the electronic code pro-
vided on the CODE card with you, in case you need
to perform an emergency start.
SCHEDULED SERVICING

General warnings
The warning lights switch on together with a dedicated
message and/or a buzzer where appropriate. These in-
dications are brief and precautionary and as such must
not be considered as exhaustive and/or an alternative to
the information contained in the Owner 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.
Low brake fluid level (red)
Turning the key to the MAR position the
warning light switches on, but it will switch
off after a few seconds. The warning light
comes on when the level of the brake fluid in the reser-
voir falls below the minimum level due to a possible leak
in the circuit.
The display shows the dedicated message.
Handbrake on (red)
When the key is turned to the MAR position the warn-
ing light comes on but should go out after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the handbrake is en-
gaged. If the car is moving the buzzer will also sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on when travel-
ling, make sure that the handbrake is not engaged.

❍if the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g.
towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and,
if the light stays on, stop the car. Wait for 2 or 3 min-
utes with the engine running and slightly accelerated
to further accelerate the coolant circulation. Then stop
the engine. Check the 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.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Doors not closed correctly (red)
This warning light switches on when one or
more doors are not properly shut. An acoustic
signal is activated with the doors open and the
car moving. The warning light in the multifunction dis-
play also switches on when the bonnet and/or tailgate are
not properly shut. The display will show a dedicated mes-
sage.

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.

Lancia Code system failure (amber)
This warning light (or symbol on the display),
when on constantly with the ignition key
turned to MAR, indicates a possible failure (see
“Lancia Code system”).
If the
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) is flash-
ing, this means that the vehicle is not protected by the en-
gine immobilizer device (see “Lancia Code system”).
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have all the keys pro-
grammed.
Alarm failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
A failure in the alarm system is signalled by this warn-
ing light (or symbol in the display) switching on. Contact
a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
The display shows the dedicated message.
Break in attempt
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on
when a break in attempt is detected. Contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.
The display will show a dedicated message. ABS system failure (amber)
When the key is turned to the MAR–ON posi-
tion the warning light comes on but should go
out after a few seconds. The warning light will
light up when the system is either not working or not
available. Under these circumstances the braking system
will work as normal without the extra performance of-
fered by the ABS system.

Water in the diesel filter
(Multijet versions) (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 turns on when there
is water in the diesel filter. The display will show
a dedicated message.

The presence of water in the supply circuit
may cause severe damage to the injection
system and irregular engine operation. If
warning light
clights up (on some versions with
the message on the display), go to a Lancia Deal-
ership as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears im-
mediately after refuelling: if this happens, switch
the engine off immediately and contact a Lancia
Dealership.
