Door AjarThis light will turn on to
indicate that one or more
doors may be ajar.
Oil Pressure Warning Light This light indicates low engine
oil pressure. The light should
turn on momentarily when the engine
is started. If the light turns on while
driving, stop the vehicle and shut off
the engine as soon as possible. A
chime will sound when this light turns
on.
Do not operate the vehicle until the
cause is corrected. This light does not
show how much oil is in the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked
under the hood.
Charging System Light
This light shows the status of
the electrical charging system.
The light should come on when the
ignition switch is first turned ON and
remain on briefly as a bulb check. If
the light stays on or comes on while
driving, turn off some of the vehicle's non-essential electrical devices or in-
crease engine speed (if at idle). If the
charging system light remains on, it
means that the vehicle is experiencing
a problem with the charging system.
Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
See an authorized dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Starting Procedures” in “What
To Do In Emergencies”.
Electronic Throttle Control
(ETC) Light
This light informs you of a
problem with the Electronic
Throttle Control (ETC) sys-
tem. The light will come on
when the ignition is first turned ON
and remain on briefly as a bulb check.
If the light does not come on during
starting, have the system checked by
an authorized dealer.
If a problem is detected, the light will
come on while the engine is running.
Cycle the ignition key when the ve-
hicle has completely stopped and the
shift lever is placed in the PARK posi-
tion. The light should turn off. If the light remains lit with the engine
running, your vehicle will usually be
drivable. However, see an authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.
If the light is flashing when the engine
is running, immediate service is re-
quired. You may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle
or engine stall and your vehicle may
require towing.
Engine Temperature Warning
Light
This light warns of an over-
heated engine condition. As
temperatures rise and the gauge ap-
proaches H,this indicator will illumi-
nate and a single chime will sound
after reaching a set threshold. Further
overheating will cause the tempera-
ture gauge to pass H,a continuous
chime will occur 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
183
and idle the vehicle. If the tempera-
ture reading does not return to nor-
mal, turn the engine off immediately
and call for service. Refer to “If Your
Engine Overheats” in “What To Do In
Emergencies” for more information.
Transmission Temperature
Warning LightThis 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 severe transmission damage
or transmission failure.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the ve-
hicle when the Transmission Tem-
perature Warning Light is illumi-
nated you could cause the fluid to
boil over, come in contact with hot
engine or exhaust components and
cause a fire.
OIL CHANGE DUE
Your vehicle is equipped with an en-
gine oil change indicator system. The
“Oil Change Due” message will flash
in the EVIC display for approxi-
mately 10 seconds after a single chime
has sounded to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The en-
gine oil change indicator system is
duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctu-
ate dependent upon your personal
driving style.
Unless reset, this message will con-
tinue to display each time you cycle
the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
To turn off the message temporarily,
press and release the BACK button. To reset the oil change indicator sys-
tem please refer to a Lancia Dealer-
ship.
FUEL ECONOMY
Press and release the UP or DOWN
button until “Fuel Economy” displays
highlighted in the EVIC and press the
SELECT button. The following Fuel
Economy functions display in the
EVIC:
Average Fuel Economy (AVG)
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE)
Average Fuel Economy
Shows the average fuel economy since
the last reset. The Average Fuel
Economy can be reset by following
the prompt in the EVIC to use the
SELECT button. When the fuel
economy is reset, the display will read
“zero” for two seconds. Then, the his-
tory information will be erased, and
the averaging will continue from the
last fuel average reading before the
reset.

CAUTION!(Continued)
Driving through standing watermay cause damage to your vehi-
cle’s drivetrain components. Al-
ways inspect your vehicle’s fluids
(i.e., engine oil, transmission,
axle, etc.) for signs of contamina-
tion (i.e., fluid that is milky or
foamy in appearance) after driv-
ing through standing water. Do
not continue to operate the ve-
hicle if any fluid appears con-
taminated, as this may result in
further damage. Such damage is
not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Getting water inside your vehi- cle’s engine can cause it to lock up
and stall out, and cause serious
internal damage to the engine.
Such damage is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
WARNING!
Driving through standing waterlimits your vehicle’s traction ca-
pabilities. Do not exceed 8 km/h
when driving through standing
water.
Driving through standing water limits your vehicle’s braking ca-
pabilities, which increases stop-
ping distances. Therefore, after
driving through standing water,
drive slowly and lightly press on
the brake pedal several times to
dry the brakes.
Getting water inside your vehi- cle’s engine can cause it to lock up
and stall out, and leave you
stranded.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in injuries that are se-
rious or fatal to you, your passen-
gers, and others around you.
POWER STEERING
The standard power steering system
will give you good vehicle response
and increased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will pro-
vide mechanical steering capability if
power assist is lost.
If for some reason the power assist is
interrupted, it will still be possible to
steer your vehicle. Under these condi-
tions, you will observe a substantial
increase in steering effort, especially
at very low vehicle speeds and during
parking maneuvers.
NOTE:
Increased noise levels at the end
of the steering wheel travel are
considered normal and do not
indicate that there is a problem
with the power steering system.
Upon initial start-up in cold weather, the power steering
pump may make noise for a
short amount of time. This is due
to the cold, thick fluid in the
steering system. This noise
should be considered normal,
and it does not in any way dam-
age the steering system.
