Engine coolant overheating (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 turns on
when the engine is overheated. If the warning light comes
on when driving, proceed as follows:
❍normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the
engine and check that the water level in the reservoir
is not below the MIN mark.
In this case, wait for a few minutes for the engine to cool
down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top-up with
coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and
MAX reference on the reservoir itself. Also check for any
fluid leaks. Go to a Lancia Dealership if the warning light
should switch on when the engine is started again.

Advanced ESP system (amber)
When the key is turned to the MAR position
the warning light comes on but should go out
after a few seconds. If the warning light does not
switch off or stays on together with the LED on the ASR
button when travelling, contact a Lancia Dealership. On
some versions the display shows the dedicated message.
If the warning light flashes when driving, this indicates
that the Advanced ESP system is activated.
If the battery is disconnected, the warning light áwill
switch on (together with a message in the display) to in-
dicate that the system must be realigned.
To switch the warning light off, carry out the following
initialisation procedure:
❍turn the ignition key to MAR:
❍turn the steering wheel fully both clockwise and anti-
clockwise (to move from the position with the wheels
straight);
❍turn the ignition key to STOP and then to MAR.
If the warning light
ádoes not go out after a few seconds,
seek assistance from a Lancia Dealership.

Hill Holder failure (amber)
The
áwarning light switches on to indicate
a Hill holder system failure. In this case, go to
a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible. Al-
ternatively, on some versions the
*symbol
switches on in the display.
The display will show a dedicated message.

Glow plugs
This warning light switches on when the key
is turned to MAR. It will switch off as soon as
the heater plugs have reached a preset temper-
ature. Start the engine as soon as the warning light
switches off.
IMPORTANT In hot outside temperatures, the warning
light may stay on for only a very short time.
Glow plug warming failure
The warning light flashes if there is a fault in the pre-
heating system. Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.
The display will show a dedicated message.

Insufficient tyre pressure
(for versions/markets where provided)
This warning light switches on when the igni-
tion key is turned to MAR, but it should switch
off after a few seconds. The warning light (amber), or
symbol in the display (red), switch on when the inflation
pressure of one or more tyres falls below a preset level.
In this way the T.P.M.S. warns the driver and signals the
possibility of the tyre being dangerously deflated and a
probable puncture (see paragraph “T.P.M.S.” in this
chapter).
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more
flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop the car,
avoiding harsh braking or steering manoeuvres. Replace
the wheel immediately with the space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets where provided) or carry out a repair
using the dedicated kit (see “Changing a wheel” in the
chapter “4”) and contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
Check tyre pressures
This warning light (for versions/markets where provided)
switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on
to show the flat tyre (see “T.P.M.S.” paragraph in this
chapter).
n
Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will show
the indications corresponding to each tyre in sequence.
Restore the correct inflation pressure values as soon as
possible (see paragraph “Cold tyre pressures” in chap-
ter “6”).
Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
This warning light (for versions/markets where provided)
switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
it should switch off after a few seconds.
Should it be necessary to travel at a speed higher than
160 km/h, inflate the tyres more than the pressure value
specified in paragraph “Cold tyre pressures” in chapter
“6”.
If the T.P.M.S. system (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) detects that the pressure of one or more tyres is
unsuitable for the current speed, the warning light or
symbol will switch on (together with the message on the
display) (see “Tyre pressure low” in this chapter) and
it will stay on until the car slows down to a speed below
the preset threshold (see “T.P.M.S.” paragraph in this
chapter).
IMPORTANT In this case, slow down immediately be-
cause tyre overheating could damage tyre performance
and durability beyond repair, and may even make the
tyre explode.

Activation of air recirculation and enablement
of AQS (Air Quality System) fig. 26
Press button
T.
Internal air recirculation is carried out according to three
possible operating modes:
❍automatic control, signalled by the AQS sign on the
display and the LED on button
Tbeing off;
❍permanently off (air recirculation always off with in-
troduction of external air), indicated by the LED on
button
Tbeing off;
❍permanently on (air recirculation always on), sig-
nalled by the LED on button
Tbeing lit up.
When OFF is pressed, the climate control system auto-
matically activates air recirculation (the LED on button
Tis on). It is still possible to activate outside air re-
circulation (LED on the button is off) and vice versa, by
pressing button
T.
With the OFF button pressed (LED on the button is lit
up), it is not possible to enable the AQS (Air Quality Sys-
tem) function.IMPORTANT The internal air recirculation system makes
it possible to reach the required heating or cooling con-
ditions faster. It is not advisable to switch the air recir-
culation on when it is rainy/cold or the windows might
mist up, especially if the climate control is not turned on.
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air. Do not use the function for
a long time, particularly if there are many passengers on
board, to prevent the windows from misting up.
Enabling the AQS (Air Quality System) function
The AQS function (AQS appears on the display), auto-
matically activates internal air recirculation when the
outside air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after 15 con-
secutive minutes of the internal air recirculation system
functioning, the climate control system enables the intake
of outside air for approximately 1 minute to change the
air in the passenger compartment. This takes place re-
gardless of the pollution level of the outside air.
