KNOWING YOUR CAR13
Passenger-side air bag/side bags
deactivated (amber)
The
“warning light switches on when the
front passenger’s airbag and side bag are dis-
abled. With the front passenger airbags enabled, when
the ignition key is turned to MAR the
“warning light
comes on steadily for about four seconds, flashes for an-
other four seconds and then should go out.
“
Failure of the warning light “is indicated
by warning light
¬coming on. In addition,
the airbag system automatically disables
the airbags on the passenger’s side (both front and
side airbags for versions/markets where provided).
Contact a Lancia Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.
Seat belts unfastened (red)
This warning light comes on constantly when
the car is not moving and the driver’s seat belt
is not correctly fastened. The warning light will
flash and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion
and the front seat belts are not correctly fastened.
The S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder) system buzzer can only
be permanently switched off by a Lancia Dealership.
The system can be reactivated using the Set-up Menu.
<
Low battery charge (red)
The warning light switches on when the igni-
tion key is turned to MAR, but it should switch
off as soon as the engine has started (with the
engine running at idle speed a brief delay before going
out is acceptable).
If the warning light stays on, constantly or flashing, con-
tact a Lancia Dealership immediately.
w
Continuously on: low engine oil pressure
(red)
Flashing:exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF – red)
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light comes
on, but should go out as soon as the engine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light will turn on constantly together with
the message on the display (for versions/markets where
provided) when the system detects that the engine oil
pressure is too low.
v
If the warning light vswitches on when
the car is travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the display) stop
the engine immediately and contact a Lancia
Dealership.

Degraded engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light
comes on, and never more than 500 km af-
ter it first comes on. Failure to observe the above
may result in severe damage to the engine and in-
validate the warranty. Please note also that the
switching on of this warning light does not depend
on the oil quantity in the engine; when the warn-
ing light flashes, never add oil.

“Dualdrive” electric power steering
failure (red)
This warning light switches on when the igni-
tion key is turned to MAR, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on,
you will not have steering assistance and the effort re-
quired to operate the steering wheel will be increased;
steering is, however, possible. In this case, go to a Lancia
Dealership. The display will show a dedicated message.

“Dualdrive” electric steering engagement
The warning light switches on (or the word
“CITY” appears on the display) when the
“Dual drive” electric power steering system is
activated by pressing the relevant control button. Press
the button again to turn the “CITY” wording off.
CITY
2. Degraded engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will turn on flashing together with the
message on the display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided). Depending on the versions, the warning light
flashing modes are as follows:
– one minute every two hours;
– for three minute cycles with the warning light off for
intervals of five seconds until oil is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start up the
warning light will continue flashing as above described
until the oil is changed. For those versions/markets where
provided, the display shows a dedicated message together
with the warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be consid-
ered as fault, it simply informs the customer that the oil
needs to be changed following normal car use.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is ac-
celerated by:
– mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF re-
generation process more frequent
– use of the car for short journeys, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process, sig-
nalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

16KNOWING YOUR CAR
❍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.
´
General failure indication (amber)
Fuel cut-off activated
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when the fuel cut off system inter-
venes. The display shows the dedicated message.
Engine oil pressure sensor failure
This warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on
when a failure is detected in the engine oil pressure sen-
sor. The display shows the dedicated message.
Dusk sensor failure
This warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on
when a failure is detected in the dusk sensor.
Speed limit exceeded
This warning light (amber), or symbol on the display
(red), switches on when the preset speed limit is exceeded
(for Arab countries the speed limit is set at 120 km/h).
The display shows the dedicated message.
Rain sensor fault
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on
when a fault is detected in the rain sensor. The display
shows the dedicated message.

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.
