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.

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.

“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.
