Degraded engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light comes
on, and never more than 500 km after it first
comes on. Failure to observe the above indications
may result in severe damage to the engine and in-
validate the warranty. Remember that when the
warning light comes on, it does not mean that the
level of engine oil is low, so if the light flashes you
definitely do not need to top up the engine oil.
“Dualdrive” electric power steerin g
failure (red)
This warning light switches on when the igni-
tion key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off
after a few s econds.
The electric power steering system will not work when the
warning light i s on and cons iderably more effort is needed
on the s teering wheel. The car can still be s teered. In this
cas e, go to a Lancia Dealer ship. The dis play will s how the
dedicated me ssage.

2. Degraded eng ine oil (only versions with DPF)
The warning light will turn on fla shing together with the
message on the di splay (for vers ions/markets where pro-
vided). Depending on the ver sions , the warning light fla sh-
ing mode s are as follows :
– for 1 minute ever y two hours ;
– cy cles of 3 minutes with intervals with the warning light
off for 5 s econds until the oil is changed.
After the firs t indication, at each engine s tart up the warn-
ing light will continue flas hing as described above until
the oil is changed. The dis play (for vers ions/markets ,
where provided), s hows a dedicated message together with
the warning light.
The flas hing of the warning light s hould not be consid-
er

ed as a fault, it s imply informs the customer that the
oil needs to be changed following normal car u se.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil i s accel-
erated by :
– mainly town use of the car which make s the DPF re-
generation proce ss more frequent
– us e of the vehicle for s hort drives, in which the engine
does not have time to reach its regular operating tem-
perature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration proce ss, sig-
nalled by the DPF warning light switching on.

Fuel reserve (amber)When the key is turned to MAR, the warning
light switches on but it s hould switch off after
a few s econds. The warning light s witches on
when about 5 to 7 litre s of fuel are left in the tank.
The dis play shows the dedicated message.
IMPORTANT The warning light will blink to indicate a sys-
tem failure. G o to a Lancia Dealers hip to have the system
checked.

The driving speed must always be suitable
for traffic and weather conditions and the
driver must always comply with the High-
way Code. 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 deterioration of engine oil. For this reason,
always wait until the warning light switches off be-
fore stopping the engine as described above. It is not
advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the
car stationary.If the warning light remains on or comes on whilst driving,
it means that the injection system is not working proper-
l y ; in particular, if the warning light come s on cons tant-
l y , this indicates a malfunction in the s upply/ignition sys-
tem that could caus e excessive exhaust emissions , a pos-
s ible loss of performance, poor driveabilit y and high fuel
cons umption. On some vers ions the dis play s hows the ded-
icated message. Under the se conditions , you may contin-
ue travelling at a moderate speed without demanding ex-
cessive effort from the engine. Prolonged u se of the car
with the warning light on con stantly may cau se damage.
G o to a Lancia Dealer ship as soon as possible.
The warning light s witches off if the malfunction di sap-
pears , but it is still stor

ed by the system.
EOBD/injection sy stem failure (amber)
Under normal condition s, when the ignition ke y
i s turned to MAR, the warning light switches on,
but should switch off as s oon as the engine i s s tart-
ed.
U
Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possi-
ble if U warning light either does not light
up when the key is turned to MAR or if while
travelling the warning light comes on either con-
stantly or flashing (on some versions along with a
message in the display). The operation of the U
warning light may be checked by the traffic con-
trol authorities using specific devices. Comply with
the laws and regulations of the country where you
are driving.

In “normal” operating mode, active shock abs orbers ad-
jus t car s uspens ions, adapting them to the ty pe of road
and to the driving stresse s, improving driving comfort in
particular on rough terrain.
In “S PORT” operating mode, the letter “S ” is lit up on the
ins trument panel dis play. This function produces a sports
driving setting featuring greater res ponsiveness during ac-
celeration and a s ports driving feeling with the steering,
a s well as the regulation and di stribution of the damping
at the s hock abs orbers guaranteeing greater vehicle pre-
cis ion and reaction, whils t maintaining a good level of
comfort. The driver will notice that the vehicle i s more
precis e when cornering and quicker in changing direction.
This function is particularly useful whenever maximum
performance i s required for a short time (e.g. when over-
taking).
IMPOR

TANT During acceleration, when the SPORT func-
tion is used, the s teering may s hudder, which i s t ypical
of a s ports setting.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the S PORT button is pressed.
REACTIVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM

DEACTIVATING THE S YSTEM
Manual mode
The system can be deactivated b y pressing button A - fig.
73 in the das hboard.
Confirmation that the system has been switched off is giv-
en by the LED in the button and the message 1 - fig.74
in the dis play going out.
S
Y STEM AC TIVATION/DEAC TIVATION
With the system on, if the vehicle approaches one of the
lines defining the s ide of the lane, a torque is applied to
the steering wheel to let the driver know which direction
to steer in order to s tay within the lane. If the driver turn s
on the direction indicator in order to change lane s or for
overtaking, then the system will s witch off momentarily.
If the driver wi shes to change lanes without turning the
direction indicator on, then there will be a warning from
the steering wheel that the y are about to cross the line.
If the driver continues with the manoeuvre to change lane s,
the system will be temporaril y deactivated and then switch
back on again once it ha s r

ecognized the new driving lane.
The driver i s advis ed of this temporary deactivation b y the
flas hing of the LED on the button and the fla shing of the
eamber symbol on the di splay .
IMPORTANT The force applied to the steering wheel by
the system is s ufficient for the driver to notice it but they
can eas ily override it and maintain control of the vehicle.
