EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuous
diagnosis of the components of the car
correlated with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on
the warning light
Uon the instru-
ment panel (together with relevant
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”), when these condi-
tions are no longer in peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒warn when a fault causes emissions
levels to increase;
❒to signal the need to replace deteri-
orated components. In this case, the rear wheels may sud-
denly lock and the car may swerve.
Drive carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked.The system also has a diagnostic con-
nector that can be interfaced with ap-
propriate tools, which makes it possi-
ble to read the error codes stored in
the control unit, together with a series
of specific parameters for engine op-
eration and diagnosis. This check can
also be carried out by the traffic po-
lice.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the
inconvenience, to check the system
completely, Lancia Dealerships are
obliged to run a bench test and, if
necessary, road tests which may also
call for a long journey.
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal
pulsating, do not remove your foot,
but keep it pressed; in doing so you
will stop in the shortest amount of
space possible under the current
road conditions.
WARNING
If warning light xonly
lights up on the instrument
panel (with a message on the mul-
tifunctional display, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided),
stop the car immediately and go to
the nearest Lancia Dealership.
Leakage of hydraulic fluid from
the braking system will compro-
mise functionality of the braking
system, either of the conventional
type or with ABS.
WARNING
Go to a Lancia Dealership
as soon as possible if warn-
ing light Ueither does not
light up when the key is
turned to MAR to if while travelling
the warning lights comes on either
steady or blinking (along with a
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, where provided). The opera-
tion of warning light Umay be
checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are
driving.

LIGHTS AND

GENERAL WARNINGS
Warning lights are associated to a spe-
cific message and/or buzzer when ap-
plicable. Indications are brief and pre-
cautionaryand as such must non be
considered as exhaustive and/or alter-
native to the information contained in
the Owner’s Handbook, which you are
recommended to read carefully in all
cases. Refer to the information in this
chapterin the event of a failure in-
dication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications on
the display fall into either of two cat-
egories:seriousfaults and less seri-
ousfaults.
A warning cycle will be repeated in
case of severefailures until the case
of the problem is eliminated.
A shorter warning cycle will be run in
case of less severefaults.
PressMODEto stop the warning cy-
cle in both cases. The warning light
on the instrument panel will stay on
until the cause of the fault is elimi-
nated.LOW BRAKE FLUID
(red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
When the ignition key is moved to
MAR, the warning light turns on and
should go off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light comes on when the
level of the brake fluid in the reservoir
falls below the minimum level due to
possible leaks in the circuit.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
x
Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the
handbrake is on.
On certain versions, if the car is mov-
ing the buzzer will also sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light
turns on when travelling, check that
the handbrake is not engaged.
AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warn-
ing light turns on and should
go off after a few seconds.
The warning light stays on steady if
there is a failure in the airbag system.
The display will show the dedicated
message.
¬
If the warning light x
turns on when travelling
(with the message on the display)
stop the car immediately and con-
tact Lancia Dealership.

For a more accurate reading,
check pressure gauge F-fig. 6with
the compressor off;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossi-
ble to reach at least 1.5 bar, disen-
gage compressor from valve and
current outlet, then move the car
forth for approx. ten metres in or-
der to distribute the sealing fluid
inside the tyre evenly, then repeat
the inflation operation;
❒If after this operation it is still im-
possible after 5 minutes to reach at
least 1.8 bar, do not start driving
since the tyre is excessively dam-
aged and the quick tyre repair kit
cannot guarantee suitable sealing,
contact Lancia Dealership.
fig. 8L0D0485m
Apply the adhesive label in
a position clearly visible
by the driver as a reminder that
the tyre has been treated with the
quick repair kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not ex-
ceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate or
brake suddenly.
WARNING
Stop if the pressure has
dropped to less than 1.8
bars: the automatic Fix & Go quick
repair kit cannot work properly
because the tyre is excessively
damaged. Go to a Lancia Dealer-
ship.
WARNING
❒if reaching the tyre pressure speci-
fied in paragraph “Inflation pres-
sure” in section “Technical Specifi-
cations”, start driving immediately;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check again the tyre pres-
sure; pull up the handbrake;
❒if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read,
restore proper pressure (with en-
gine running and handbrake on)
and restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the
nearest Lancia Dealership.
FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor may also be used for
restoring pressure only. Release the
quick coupling and connect directly
to the tyre valve; in this way, the
cylinder will not be connected to the
compressor and no sealant will be in-
jected.
