EOBD SYSTEM ENGINE
U
CONTROL SYSTEM
(amber)
(in compliance with directive
98/69/CE-EURO3)
In normal conditions, the warning
light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR and should go
out as soon as the engine is started.
The initial lighting up shows that the
warning light is working properly.
Warning light either stays on or
comes on while travelling:
Fixed light - warning of a fuel
feed/ignition/injection system failure
which may increase emissions in ex-
haust or cause possible drops in per-
formance, poor handling and high
consumption.
In such conditions, you can continue
driving but you should not tax the en-
gine and you should moderate the
speed. Prolonged use with the warn-
ing light on can cause damage. Con-
tact a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
The warning light will go out when
the failure disappears. In any case,
the system will store the error.
Flashing light - warning that the
catalyser can be damaged (see
"EOBD system" in this chapter).
If the warning light starts flashing,
release the accelerator pedal and slow
the engine down until the warning
light stops flashing. Continue driving
at moderate speed, preventing the
warning light from coming on again.
Contact a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.
Contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship as soon as possible if
the U warning light either
does not come on when the key is
turned to MAR or comes on, with
fixed or flashing light, when trav-
elling.
AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
¬
The warning light should
come on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR and should go
out after approximately four seconds.
The warning light will come on per-
manently when there is an airbag sys-
tem failure.
If the warning light does
not turn on when turning
the ignition key to MAR or
if it stays on when travelling, this
could indicate a failure in safety
retaining systems; under this con-
dition air bags or pretensioners
could not trigger in the event of
collision or, in a restricted number
of cases, they could trigger acci-
dentally. Stop the car and contact
Lancia Dealership to have the sys-
tem checked immediately.
