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.

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.

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

may cause severe damage to the injection
system and irregular engine operation. If
warning light
clights up (on some versions with
the message on the display), go to a Lancia Deal-
ership as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears im-
mediately after refuelling: if this happens, switch
the engine off immediately and contact a Lancia
Dealership.

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.
