SPEEDOMETER (SPEED INDICATOR)
Shows the car speed (speedometer).
REV COUNTER
This indicates the engine rpm.
DIGITAL FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.
E - tank empty
F - tank full
The warning light A fig. 4 (on certain versions
together with the message on the display) switches
on to indicate that approximately 5 to 7 litres of
fuel are left in the tank; in this event refuel at the
earliest opportunity.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the
gaps in fuel delivery could damage the catalyst.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and
warning light A will flash to indicate a fault in the
system. Go to a Lancia Dealership to have the
system checked.ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine
coolant.
C - Low engine coolant temperature.
H - High engine coolant temperature.
The warning light B fig. 4 may switch on (with a
message on the display for some versions) to
indicate that the coolant temperature is too high;
in this case, stop the engine and contact a Lancia
Dealership.
If the needle reaches the red area, stop
the engine immediately and contact a
Lancia Dealership.

HOT ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position
illuminates the warning light, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on (on some versions
with a message and a symbol on the display) when
the engine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on when driving,
proceed as follows:
❒when driving normally:stop the car, switch
off the engine and check that the water level
in the reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it
is, 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 marks. Also
check visually for any fluid leaks. Go to a
Lancia Dealership if the warning light should
switch on when the engine is started again;
❒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 minutes with the
engine running and slightly accelerated to
further favour 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 minutes before switching it
off.
FUEL RESERVE – LIMITED
RANGE (amber)
This warning light comes on when about 5 to 7
litres of fuel are left in the tank. When the
remaining range is approx. 50 km (or equivalent
value in miles), on some versions, the display
will show a warning message.
IMPORTANT The warning light will flash to
indicate a system failure. Go to a Lancia
Dealership to have the system checked.
EOBD/INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE (amber)
In normal conditions, the warning light switches
on when the key is turned to MAR (on some
versions, with a message on the display), but
should switch off as soon as the engine is started.

PERIODIC CHECKSEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys, check
and, if necessary, restore:
❒engine coolant, brake fluid and windscreen
washer fluid level;
❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system (headlights,
direction indicators, hazard warning lights,
etc.);
❒operation of screen washer/wiper system and
positioning/wear of windscreen/rear window
wiper blades.
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if required,
the engine oil level.
HEAVY-DUTY USE OF THE CARIf the car is used mainly under one of the
following conditions:
❒towing a trailer or caravan;
❒dusty roads;
❒short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at
sub-zero outside temperatures;
❒engine often idling or driving long distances at
low speeds or long periods of idleness;
the following checks must be performed more
frequently than indicated in the Scheduled
Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel
system - brakes) and rubber elements (boots -
sleeves - bushes - etc.);
❒check battery charge and battery fluid level
(electrolyte);
❒visually inspect condition of the accessory drive
belts;
❒check and, if necessary, change engine oil and
replace oil filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace pollen filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace air cleaner.

ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked when the
engine is cold and must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, undo reservoir cap C (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
PARAFLU
UP
anti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when
topping up. PARAFLU
UP
may not be mixed
with any other types of fluids. If this occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your
Lancia Dealership immediately.
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the cap with
another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHING
FLUID
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap D (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
WARNING
Do not travel if the windscreen
washer reservoir is empty: using the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may set it on fire.
