Injection system failure

When the ignition key is moved to

MAR, the warning light turns on and

should go out as soon as the engine is

started.

If the warning light stays on or turns

on when travelling, means a fault in

the supply/ignition system which

could cause high emissions at the ex-

haust, possible lack of performance,

poor handling and high consumption

levels.

The display will show a dedicated

message.

In these conditions, you may continue

travelling at moderate speed without

demanding excessive effort from the

engine. Go to a Lancia Dealership as

soon as possible.

EOBD engine control system

failure

In normal conditions, when the igni-

tion key is moved to MAR, the warn-

ing light turns on and should go off

after engine start-up. This indicates

that the warning light is working cor-

rectly. If the warning light either stays

on or comes on while travelling:

❒ steady light: a fault in the sup-

ply/ignition system which could

cause high emissions at the ex-

haust, possible lack of perfor-

mance, poor handling and high

consumption levels. 

U

The display will show the dedicated

message.

In these conditions, you may continue

travelling at moderate speed without

demanding excessive effort from the

engine. Prolonged use of the car with

the warning light on may cause dam-

age. Go to a Lancia Dealership as

soon as possible. If warning light will

go out after the fault goes away but it

will be stored in the system.

❒ blinking light: indicates the possi-

bility of damage to the catalyser

(see “EOBD system” in section

“Dashboard and controls”). 

If the light flashes, release the accel-

erator pedal to lower the speed of the

engine until the warning light stops

flashing; continue the journey at mod-

erate speed, trying to avoid driving

conditions that may cause further

flashing and contact Lancia Dealer-

ship as soon as possible.
