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.

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-

– 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.

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

equipped with two sun blinds (front and rear) that can be
moved manually . With the sun roof clos ed, the blinds can
be placed in an y pos ition. To open the blinds : grip han-
dle C - fig. 53, and move the blind to the required po si-
tion by following the direction of movement s hown by the
arrow. To clo se them, carry out the procedure in rever se.
The sun roof can be operated onl y with the ignition key

Use the sunroof only at “spoiler” position if
cross roof racks are fitted. Never open the roof
in presence of snow or ice to prevent damage.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
key from the ignition to avoid the risk of in-
jury to those still inside the car due to acci-
dental operation of the sunroof. Improper use of the
roof can be dangerous. Before and during operation,
always check that nobody is at risk of being injured
by the moving sun roof or by objects getting caught
or hit by it.
Anti-pinch device
The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety system capable of
detecting the pres ence of an obstacle whilst the roof is clos-
ing: if this happens, the system intervenes and the move-
ment of the glass i s immediately reversed.
IMPORTANT The blind will remain in the full
y open po si-
tion when clo sing the sun roof. If you would like to clo se it,
this mus t be done manuall y.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If after bu ying the car, you decide to in stall electrical ac-
cessories that require a permanent electric supply (radio,
s atellite anti-theft system, etc.) or acce ssories that in an y
cas e burden the electric s upply, contact a Lancia Dealer-
s hip, whos e qualified pers onnel, besides s ugges ting the
mos t suitable devices from Lineaccessori Lancia, will al-
s o evaluate the overall electric cons umption, checking
whether the car’ s electrical system is able to withstand the
load required, or whether it need s to be integrated with a
more powerful batter y.
Take care when fitting additional spoilers,
alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs:
they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes
and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated brak-
ing or on long descents. Make sure that nothing ob-
structs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
