2013 Lancia Flavia bulb

During normal operation, after turn-
ing on the ignition switch, the Vehicle
Security Light will turn on for three
seconds for a bulb check. If the light
remains on after the bulb check, it
indicates that there is a problem with
the electronics. In addition, if the light
begins to flash after the bulb check, it
indicates that someone used an in-
valid key to start the engine. Either of
these conditions will result in the en-
gine being shut off after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on
during normal vehicle operation (ve-
hicle running for longer than 10 sec-
onds), it indicates that there is a fault
in the electronics. Should this occur,
have the vehicle serviced as soon as
possible by an authorized dealer.CAUTION!
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer sys-
tem is not compatible with some
after-market remote starting sys-
tems. Use of these systems may re-
sult in vehicle starting problems
and loss of security protection.All of the keys provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the
vehicle electronics.
REPLACEMENT KEYS

WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light
in your instrument panel could
mean you won't have the air bags to
protect you in a collision. If the light
does not come on as a bulb check
when the ignition is first turned on,
stays on after you start the vehicle,
or if it comes on as you drive, have
an authorized dealer service the air
bag system immediately.
Driver And Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units
The Driver and Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units are lo-
cated in the center of the steering
wheel and on the right side of the
instrument panel. When the ORC de-
tects a collision requiring the Ad-
vanced Front Air Bags, it signals the
inflator units. A large quantity of non-
toxic gas is generated to inflate the
Advanced Front Air Bags. Different
air bag inflation rates are possible,
based on several factors, including the collision type and severity. The steer-
ing wheel hub trim cover and the up-
per right side of the instrument panel
separate and fold out of the way as the
air bags inflate to their full size. The
air bags fully inflate in about 50 to
70 milliseconds. This is about half of
the time it takes to blink your eyes.
The air bags then quickly deflate
while helping to restrain the driver
and front passenger.
The Advanced Front Air Bag gas is
vented through the vent holes in the
sides of the air bag. In this way, the air
bags do not interfere with your con-
trol of the vehicle.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags (SAB) are designed to
activate only in certain side collisions.
The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on the severity and type of col-
lision.Based on the severity and type of col-
lision, the side air bag inflator on the
crash side of the vehicle may be trig-
gered, releasing a quantity of non-
toxic gas. The inflating SAB exits
through the seat seam into the space
between the occupant and the door.
The SAB fully inflate in about 10 mil-
liseconds. The side air bag moves at a
very high speed and with such a high
force that it could injure you if you are
not seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the side
air bag inflates. This especially ap-
plies to children.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact
events.

Air Bag Warning LightThe light should come on
and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light is
not lit during starting, see your autho-
rized dealer. If the light stays on,
flickers, or comes on while driving,
have the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable. Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se-
cured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your ve-
hicle in other ways.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
 Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the floor
mat fasteners.
 Never place or install floor mats or other floor coverings in the ve-
hicle that cannot be properly se-
cured to prevent them from mov-
ing and interfering with the
pedals or the ability to control the
vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already in-
stalled floor mats. Additional floor
mats and other coverings will re-
duce the size of the pedal area and
interfere with the pedals. Check mounting of mats on a regular basis. Always properly re-
install and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
 Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot-
well while the vehicle is moving.
Objects can become trapped un-
der the brake pedal and accelera-
tor pedal causing a loss of vehicle
control.
 If required, mounting posts must be properly installed, if not
equipped from the factory.Failure to properly follow floor mat
installation or mounting can cause
interference with the brake pedal
and accelerator pedal operation
causing loss of control of the vehicle.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DESCRIPTIONS
1. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading be-
low theH(red) mark of the gauge
shows that the engine cooling system
is operating properly. The gauge
pointer may show a higher than nor-
mal temperature when driving in hot
weather, up mountain grades, in
heavy stop and go traffic, or when
towing a trailer.
If the pointer rises to the H(red)
mark, the instrument cluster will
sound a chime. Pull over and stop the
vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the
pointer drops back into the normal
range. If the pointer remains on the H
(red) mark, turn the engine off imme-
diately and call for service.
There are steps that you can take to
slow down an impending overheat
condition. If your air conditioning is
on, turn it off. The air conditioning
system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning off the A/C re-
moves this heat. You can also turn the
Temperature control to maximum
heat, the Mode control to Floor and
the Fan control to High. This allows
the heater core to act as a supplement
to the radiator and aids in removing
heat from the engine cooling system.
2. Fuel Door Reminder
This is a reminder that the
Fuel Filler Door is located
on the left side of the vehicle.
3. Fuel Gauge
When the ignition switch is in the
ON/RUN position, the pointer will
show the level of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.
4. Speedometer
Indicates the vehicle speed in miles
per hour (MPH) and kilometers per
hour (km/h).
5. Low Fuel Light
When the fuel level drops to
approximately 7.6 Liters, the
fuel symbol will light and a single
chime will sound. NOTE: This light will remain on
until a minimum of approximately
11 Liters of fuel is added.
6. Charging System Light
This light shows the status of
the electrical charging system.
The light should come on briefly when
the ignition is first turned on and re-
main on briefly as a bulb check. If the
light stays on or comes on while driv-
ing, turn off some of the vehicle's elec-
trical devices, such as the Front Fog
Lights or Rear Window Defroster. If
the Charging System Light remains
on, it means that the vehicle is expe-
riencing a problem with the charging
system. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDI-
ATELY. See your local authorized
dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Starting Procedures” in “What
To Do In Emergencies”.

7. Air Bag Warning LightThis light will turn on for
four to eight seconds as a
bulb check when the igni-
tion switch is first turned to
ON/RUN. If the light is either not on
during starting, stays on, or turns on
while driving, have the system in-
spected at an authorized dealer as
soon as possible. Refer to “Occupant
Restraints” in “Things To Know Be-
fore Starting Your Vehicle” for further
information.
8. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is
first turned to ON/RUN, this
light will turn on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check. During
the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt
is unbuckled, a chime will sound.
After the bulb check or when driving,
if the driver seat belt remains unbuck-
led, the Seat Belt Warning Light will
flash or remain on continuously. Refer
to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things
To Know Before Starting Your Ve-
hicle” for further information. 9. Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light indicates low engine
oil pressure. The light will
come on and remain on when the
ignition switch is turned from the
OFF to the ON/RUN position, and the
light will turn off after the engine is
started. If the bulb does not come on
during starting, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
If the light comes on and remains on
while driving, stop the vehicle and
shut off the engine. DO NOT OPER-
ATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE
CAUSE IS CORRECTED.
The light does not show the quantity
of oil in the engine. This can be deter-
mined using the procedure shown in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
10. Engine Temperature Warning
Light
This light warns of an over-
heated engine condition. As
engine coolant temperature rise and
the gauge approaches H, the light will
illuminate and a single chime will
sound after reaching a set threshold. Further overheating will cause a con-
tinuous chime sound for 4 minutes or
until the engine is allowed to cool.
If the light turns on while driving, safely
pull over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C
system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the
transmission into NEUTRAL and idle
the vehicle. If the temperature reading
does not return to normal, turn the
engine off immediately and call for ser-
vice. Refer to “If Your Engine Over-
heats” in “What To Do In Emergencies”
for further information.11. Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various
brake functions, including
brake fluid level and parking brake ap-
plication. If the brake light turns on it
may indicate that the parking brake is
applied, that the brake fluid level is low,
or that there is a problem with the anti-
lock brake system.
The dual brake system provides a re-
serve braking capacity in the event of
a failure to a portion of the hydraulic
system. Failure of either half of the
dual brake system is indicated by the
Brake Warning Light which will turn

onds) until the display resets to 0 miles
(km). The odometer must be in Trip
Mode to reset the trip odometer.
17. Electronic Throttle Control
(ETC) Indicator Light
This light informs you of a
problem with the Electronic
Throttle Control (ETC) sys-
tem. If a problem is detected,
the light will come on while the engine is
running. If the light remains lit with the
engine running, your vehicle will usu-
ally be drivable and not need towing,
however see your authorized dealer for
service as soon as possible.
If the light is flashing when the engine
is running you may experience power
loss, an elevated/rough idle, and in-
creased brake pedal effort, and your
vehicle may require towing. Immedi-
ate service is required.
The light will come on when the igni-
tion switch is first turned on and re-
main on approximately 15 seconds as
a bulb check. This is normal. If the
light does not come on during start-
ing, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer. 18. Park/Headlight ON Indicator
This indicator will illumi-
nate when the park lights or
headlights are turned on.
19. Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) OFF Indicator Light This light indicates the
Electronic Stability Control
system (ESC) has been
turned off by the driver.
20. Turn Signal Indicators
The arrows will flash in uni-
son with the exterior turn
signal, when using the turn
signal lever. A chime will
sound if the vehicle is driven more than
1.6 km with either turn signal on.
NOTE: If either indicator flashes
at a rapid rate, check for a defec-
tive outside light bulb.
21. Front Fog Light Indicator
This indicator will illuminate
when the front fog lights are on.

26. Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an on-
board diagnostic system
called OBD that monitors emissions,
engine, and automatic transmission
control systems. The light will illumi-
nate when the key is in the ON/RUN
position before engine start. If the
bulb does not come on when turning
the key from LOCK to ON/RUN, have
the condition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or
missing gas cap, poor fuel quality,
etc., may illuminate the light after
engine start. The vehicle should be
serviced if the light stays on through
several of your typical driving cycles.
In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and will not require
towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service
is required.WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic con-
verter, as referenced above, can
reach higher temperatures than in
normal operating conditions. This
can cause a fire if you drive slowly
or park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, card-
board, etc. This could result in
death or serious injury to the driver,
occupants or others. 27. Transmission Temperature
Warning Light
This light indicates that the
transmission fluid tempera-
ture is running hot. This
may occur with severe us-
age, such as trailer towing. If this light
turns on, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle. Then, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL and run the engine at
idle or faster until the light turns off.
CAUTION!Continuous driving with the Trans-
mission Temperature Warning Light
illuminated will eventually cause se-
vere transmission damage or trans-
mission failure.WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature
Warning Light is illuminated and
you continue operating the vehicle,
in some circumstances you could
cause the fluid to boil over, come in
contact with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.

WARNING!(Continued)
Always fully apply the parking
brake when leaving your vehicle
or it may roll and cause damage or
injury. Also, be certain to leave the
transmission in PARK. Failure to
do so may cause the vehicle to roll
and cause damage or injury.CAUTION!
If the “Brake Warning Light” re-
mains on with the parking brake
released, a brake system malfunc-
tion is indicated. Have the brake
system serviced by an authorized
dealer immediately.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE
SYSTEM (ABS)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
provides increased vehicle stability
and brake performance under most
braking conditions. The system oper-
ates with a separate computer to
modulate the hydraulic pressure to
prevent wheel lock-up and avoid
skidding on slippery surfaces.
WARNING!
 Pumping of the anti-lock brakes will diminish their effectiveness
and may lead to a collision.
Pumping makes the stopping dis-
tance longer. Just press firmly on
your brake pedal when you need
to slow down or stop.
 The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from act-
ing on the vehicle, nor can it in-
crease braking or steering effi-
ciency beyond that afforded by
the condition of the vehicle
brakes and tires or the traction
afforded.
 The ABS cannot prevent colli- sions, including those resulting
from excessive speed in turns, fol-
lowing another vehicle too
closely, or hydroplaning.
 The capabilities of an ABS-
equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or danger-
ous manner, which could jeopar-
dize the user's safety or the safety
of others. The “Anti-Lock Brake
Warning Light” monitors
the Anti-Lock Brake Sys-
tem. The light will come on
when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position and may stay on for
as long as four seconds.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning
Light” remains on or comes on while
driving, it indicates that the anti-lock
portion of the brake system is not func-
tioning and that service is required.
However, the conventional brake sys-
tem will continue to operate normally
if the “Brake Warning Light” is not on.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning
Light” is on, the brake system should
be serviced as soon as possible to re-
store the benefits of anti-lock brakes.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning
Light” does not come on when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, have the bulb repaired as
soon as possible.
