Lancia Code sy stem failure (amber)
This warning light (or symbol on the display ),
when on cons tantly with the ignition key turned
to MAR, indicates a possible failure ( see “Lancia
Code system”).
If the
Ywarning light (or symbol in the display) is flas h-
ing with engine running, this means that the car is not pro-
tected by the engine immobilis er device (see “Lancia
Code system”).
Contact a Lancia Dealer ship to have all the keys pro-
grammed.
Alarm failure
(for vers ions/markets , where provided)
A failure in the alarm system is s ignalled by this warning
light (or symbol in the display) switching on. Contact a
Lancia Dealer ship as soon as possible.
The dis play shows the dedicated message.
Break in attempt
(for vers ions/markets , where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the dis play) switches on
when a br

eak-in attempt is detected. Contact a Lancia
Dealers hip as soon as possible.
The dis play will s how the dedicated me ssage.
Y
Insufficient tyre pressure
(for vers ions/markets ,where provided)
When the key i s turned to MAR, the warning
light switches on, but it s hould switch off after a
few seconds . The warning light (amber), or symbol in the
dis play (red), switch on when the inflation pre ssure of one
or more ty res falls below a pres et level. In this way the TPMS
warns the driver and s ignals the possibility of the tyre be-
ing dangerous ly deflated and a probable puncture (s ee para-
graph “TPMS ” in this chapter).
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more
flat tyre s as handling may be compromised. Stop the car,
avoiding har sh braking or steering manoeuvres. Replace
the wheel immediately with the space-saver wheel (for
vers ions /markets wher

e provided) or carr y out a repair
u sing the dedicated kit ( see “Changing a wheel” in the
chapter “4”) and contact a Lancia Dealer ship as s oon
as possible.
C heck ty re pressures
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light (for ver-
s ions /markets , where provided) s witches on, but it s hould
s witch off after a few s econds.
The warning light (or symbol in the dis play) switches on
to show the flat ty re (see “TPMS ” paragraph in thi s
chapter).

Should two or more ty res be flat, the dis play will s how the
indications corresponding to each ty re in sequence. Re-
s tore the correct inflation pre ssure values as s oon as pos-
s ible (s ee paragraph “Cold inflation pre ssures” in chap-
ter “6”).
T yre pressure unsuitable for speed
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light (for
vers ions /markets , where provided) s witches on, but it
s hould switch off after a few s econds.
S hould it be necessary to travel at a speed higher than 160
km/h, inflate the t yre s more than the pressure value s pec-
ified in paragraph “Inflation pressures” in chapter “6”.
If the TPMS (for versions/markets where provided) de-
tects that the pr

essure of one or more t yre s i s uns uitable
for the current s peed, the warning light or symbol will
s witch on (together with the message on the di splay ) (see
“T yre pre ssure low” paragraph in this chapter) and it will
s tay on until the car s lows down to a s peed below the pre-
s et thres hold (see “TPMS ” paragraph in thi s chapter).
IMPORTANT In this case, slow down immediately because
t y re overheating could damage t yre performance and
durability beyond repair, and may even make the tyre ex-
plode.
Particularly strong radio-frequency inter-
ference may cause the TPMS to function in-
correctly. The driver is notified of this con-
dition through a message (for versions/markets,
where provided).
The message will disappear automatically as soon
as the interference ceases to disturb the system.
Exterior lig hts failure (amber)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
s witches on when a fault i s detected in any of
the following lights :
❍ side lights ;
❍ brake lights (for versions/markets where provided);
❍ rear fog light s;
❍ direction indicators ;
❍ number plate light s;
❍ day time running light s.
The failure relating to the se lights could be: one or more
blown bulbs , a blown protection fus e or a break in the elec-
trical connection.
The dis play shows the dedicated message.

IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and is caused by a system to prevent the
motor from overheating. No servicing is required. The
power steering system will s tart working normall y again
the next time the car is used.TPMS SYSTEM
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
(for vers ions/markets , where provided)
The car may be equipped with a TPMS (Tyre Pre ssure
Monitoring System). This system compris es a radio fre-
quency transmitter fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim
ins ide the ty re), which i s able to send information on the
t y re inflation pressure of each wheel to the control unit.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE TPMS
The fault indication s are not s tored and will therefore
not be dis played after the engine ha s been s witched off
and then on again. If the fault condition s pers is t, the con-
trol unit will s end the relative indication s to the ins tru-
ment panel only after the car ha s been in motion for a
s hort time.
Before starting any servicing operation, stop
the engine and remove the key from the ig-
nition switch to operate the steering lock, par-
ticularly when the wheels do not touch the ground.
If this is not possible (i.e. if the key must be kept
in the MAR position or the engine must be kept run-
ning), remove the main electric power steering sys-
tem fuse.

STARTING AND DRIVING
USING THE GEARBOX To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and shift
the gear lever into the required position (the gear diagram
varies according to the different versions and is shown
on the knob or on the plate below the lever fig. 2).
To engage 6
thgear, operate the lever by pressing it towards
the right in order to avoid engaging 4
thgear by mistake.
The same goes for changing from 6
thto 5
th.
IMPORTANT The car can only be put into reverse gear
when it has stopped moving completely. With the engine
running, wait at least 2 seconds before engaging reverse
gear with the clutch pedal fully depress in order to avoid
damaging or grinding the gears.
fig. 2
L0E0073m
To engage reverse gear R from neutral, raise sliding ring
A under the knob and at the same time move the gear lever
to the left and then forwards.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift the sliding ring A
under the knob and move the gear lever to the right and
then backwards.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should be used only to
change gear. Do not drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, however lightly. For versions/markets where
provided, the electronic clutch pedal control could cut in,
interpreting the incorrect driving style as a fault.
Press the clutch pedal fully to change gears
correctly. Therefore, the floor area under the
pedal unit should be clear: ensure that any
mats are flat and do not interfere with the pedals.Do not drive with your hand resting on the
gear lever, because this pressure, even if light,
can wear out the internal components of the
gearbox over time.

Punctures caused by foreign bodies can be re-
paired if the damage does not exceed 4 mm
on the tread and on the shoulder of the tyre. Give the booklet to the personnel who will be
handling the tyre treated with the repair kit. Punctures on the sides of the tyre cannot be
repaired. Do not use the quick tyre repair kit
if the tyre is damaged as the vehicle has run
on a flat tyre.If the wheel rim is damaged (the channel is
so deformed as to cause air leakage) it can-
not be repaired. Do not remove foreign bod-
ies (screws or nails) from the tyre.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The sealant of the quick tyre repair kit is effective with
external temperatures between –20°C and +50°C.
The sealant has an expiry date.
Never operate the compressor for longer than
20 consecutive minutes. Risk of overheating.
The quick tyre repair kit is not suitable for a
definitive repair. Tyres may only be repaired tem-
porarily.

Never remove or cover the label. Never apply
a hub cap on a space-saver wheel. The la-
bel bears the following instructions in four
languages: WARNING! FOR TEMPORARY USE
ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX.! REPLACE WITH STAN-
DARD WHEEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT
COVER THIS LABEL.
If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead
of steel rims) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized
bolts.Alert other drivers that the car is stationary
in compliance with local regulations: hazard
warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any
passengers on board should leave the car, especial-
ly if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is be-
ing changed. If parked on a slope or rough surface,
chock the wheels with wedges or other suitable de-
vices.

IN AN EMERGENCY
The jack can only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provided
or on cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the
car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher than
those shown on the label. Snow chains cannot be fit-
ted to the space-saver wheel. Therefore, if a front
(drive) wheel is punctured and chains are required,
a rear wheel should be fitted at the front of the car
and the space-saver wheel should be fitted to the
rear. This way, with two normal front driving
wheels, you can install the snow chains on them,
thus resolving the emergency.If the hub cap is not installed properly, it may
detach when the vehicle is running. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Never intro-
duce tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Reg-
ularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pressure,
complying with the data in the chapter “6”.

IN AN EMERGENCY
Ve r sions with alloy rims
❍Place the wheel onto the hub and tighten the bolts us-
ing the spanner provided;
❍lower the car and remove the jack;
❍using the spanner provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown in fig. 8;
❍refit the press-fitted hub cap, making sure that the ref-
erence hole on the wheel is aligned with the reference
pin on the cap.
IMPORTANT If it is not fitted properly, the hub cap may
detach when the vehicle is running.
At the end of the operation
❍Stow the space-saver wheel D - fig. 10 in the space pro-
vided in the luggage compartment;
❍fit the partially open jack in i
ts box forcing it lightly to
prevent it from vibrating when travelling;
❍put the tools back into place in the box;
❍stow the container, complete with tools, in the space-
saver wheel and tighten the locking device B - fig. 10;
❍reposition the luggage compartment mat correctly.IMPORTANT Do not use air chambers tubes with tube-
less tyres. Check the inflation pressure of the tyres and the
space-saver wheel periodically.
Various fixing bolts and space-saver wheels,
specific and differing in structural charac-
teristics, are used depending on the wheel rim
type (alloy or steel). Fixing bolts for alloy rims can
be identified by the presence of a permanent wash-
er and a hollow side on the bolt head.
Therefore, you will need to contact a Lancia Deal-
ership to get the correct type of fixing bolts and
space-saver wheel if you change the type of wheels
fitted (alloy rims instead of steel rims, or vice ver-
sa). Keep the bolts fitted as standard in case of re-
use of the wheels originally mounted on the car.
