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

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

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.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the
driver to change gear through a specific indication
on the control panel fig. 7. Through the GSI, the
driver is notified that changing gear will allow
a reduction in fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is shown on
the display, the GSI is advising the driver to
engage a higher gear, while the SHIFT DOWN (
SHIFT) icon advises the driver to engage a
lower gear.
The indication in the instrument panel remains on
until the driver changes gear or the driving
conditions return to a situation where changing
gear is not required to improve consumption.WELCOME MOVEMENT
On some versions, when the key is turned to MAR,
the following occurs:
❒quick movement (up and down) of the
speedometer and rpm gauge
❒lighting of graphic symbols/display
❒display of the Lancia logo.fig. 7
