WARNING
If the
warning light switches on
when the vehicle is travelling (on
certain versions together with the message
on the display) stop the engine immediately
and contact a Lancia Dealership.
2. Engine oil deteriorated
(only Diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific
message will appear on the display (in versions/
markets, where provided). The warning light may
flash in the following ways, depending on the
version:
❒ 1 minute every two hours;
❒ cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the
warning light off for 5 seconds until the oil
is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start up
the warning light will continue flashing as
described above until the oil is changed. For
(versions/markets where provided), the display
shows a dedicated message together with the
warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be
considered as a fault, it simply informs the
customer that the oil needs to be changed
following normal car use.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil
is accelerated by:
❒ mainly town use of the car which makes the
DPF regeneration process more frequent;
❒ use of the car for short drives, in which the
engine does not have time to reach its regular
operating temperature;
❒ repeated interruption of the regeneration
process, signalled by the DPF warning light
coming on.
WARNING
If the warning light comes on, the
exhausted engine oil
should be
changed as soon as possible; never drive
more than 500 km from the first
switching-on of this warning light. Failure to
observe the above may result in severe
damage to the engine and invalidate the
warranty. Remember that when the warning
light comes on, it does not mean that the
level of engine oil is low, so if the light
flashes you do not need to top up the engine
oil.
