Warning light What it means
INJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, the warning light switches on when the key is turned to MAR (on some versions, with
a dedicated message on the display), but should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly; in
particular, if the warning light switches on steadily, this indicates a malfunction in the supply/ignition system
that could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high
fuel consumption.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed without demanding
excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on may cause damage.
Contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.
Petrol engines only
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged.
In this case, it is necessary to release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the
warning light stops flashing. Continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that
may cause further flashing and contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
31)
WARNING
31)Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible if thewarning light either does not light up when the key is turned to MAR or if while
travelling the warning light switches on or flashes (along with a message and a symbol on the display on some versions). The operation of the
warning light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where
you are driving.

Warning light What it means
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING IN PROGRESS (Diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light (together with a dedicated message and a symbol on the display on some versions)
switches on constantly to notify the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured pollutants
(particulate) through the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions
require that the driver is notified. To switch the warning light off, the vehicle must be kept moving until the
regeneration process is completed. On average, the process lasts 15 minutes. Optimal conditions for
completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it should not be taken to
a workshop. On some versions, together with the warning light switching on, the display shows a
dedicated message.
40)
WARNING
40)Vehicle travel speed should always be adapted to the traffic and weather conditions, and must always comply with traffic regulations. The
engine can be stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason, it is always advisable to wait for the warning light to go off before turning the engine
off, following the instructions appearing above. Do not complete the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.
