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.
K
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.

Closing
With the roof in the fully open position, press button A -
fig. 53 and, if the button is operated for more than half a
s econd, the front roof gla ss will automatically a ssume the
intermediate pos ition (comfort po sition).
If the button is operated again for about half a second the
roof will assume the s poiler position. Lastly, if the clos ing
button i s pressed again, the roof will a ssume the fully clos ed
pos ition.

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.

INSTALLING ELEC TRICAL/

The electric/electronic device s ins talled subs equent to the
purchas e of the car and included in the after-s ales s er-
vice mus t be marked:
Fiat Group Automobiles S .p.A. authoris es the in stallation
of trans ceiver device s on condition that s uch installations
are carried out in a workmanlike fas hion, following the
manufacturer’ s ins tructions , at a specialis ed centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic authoritie s ma y not allow the vehi-
cle on the road if devices are fitted that modify vehicle
s pecifications . This may also invalidate the warranty in
relation to faults caused by the change or either directly
or indirectly related to it. Fiat Group Automobile s S .p.A.
s hall not be liable for damage caus ed by the ins tallation
of accessories either not supplied or recommended b y Fi-
at Group Automobile s S .p.A. and/or not in stalled in com-
pliance with the pr

ovided in structions .
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.).

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.
