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

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.

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

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

(*) Regardless of the distance covered, the timing drive belt must be changed every 4 years for particularly demanding use (cold
climates, city driving, long periods of idling) or at least every 5 years.
(**) The actual interval for changing the oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the car usage conditions, it is signalled
by the warning light or message (if present) in the instrument panel and must never exceed 24 months.
If the car is mainly used in towns and cities, change the engine oil and filter every 12 months.

ENGINE OIL A - Fig. 1
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after the en-
gine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground. The
oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick. The range between the MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
If the level of the oil is close to or below the MIN mark,
add oil via the filler neck until the MAX mark is reached.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX mark.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1,000 km. When the car is new, the engine
needs to run in, therefore the engine oil consumption can
only be considered stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and car usage conditions.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before you check the level.
When the engine is hot, take care when work-
ing inside the engine compartment to avoid
burns. Remember that when the engine is hot,
the fan may operate: danger of injury. Pay atten-
tion to scarves, ties and other loose fitting garments:
they may get caught by moving components. Do not add any oil with different specifica-
tions than those of the existing engine oil. The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that may be danger-
ous for the environment. It is advisable to
have oil and filters changed by a Lancia Dealership
where they will be disposed of according to the law.
