Reverse gear Lancia Ypsilon 2013 Owner handbook (in English)

The car can be stopped during the manoeuvre
and, whilst remaining stationary, reverse gear can
temporarily be released (for example, to allow a
pedestrian to pass through the area of the
manoeuvre).
The speed should be less than about 7 km/h
during the manoeuvre, otherwise the parking
manoeuvre will be interrupted.
If the driver carries out a voluntary or involuntary
action on the steering during the parking
manoeuvre (touching it or preventing its
movement), the manoeuvre will be interrupted.
If the road surface is very uneven or there are
obstacles under the wheels affecting the movement
of the car, preventing it from continuing along
the correct trajectory, the manoeuvre may be
interrupted.End of manoeuvre
If the size of parking space permits, the parking
manoeuvre may be performed in one manoeuvre.
When the reverse gear is disengaged the wheels
will be realigned and the manoeuvre will be
considered completed (the system will
consequently be deactivated).
If the size of the parking space is smaller, it may
take several manoeuvres: the driver will be
advised to complete the parking manoeuvre
manually via a dedicated message in the
instrument panel display.
WARNING
If you wish to stop the steering wheel
with your hands during a manoeuvre,
it is advisable to handle it firmly on the
outer rim. Do not try and keep your hands
on the inside or hold the spokes.

❒If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the
pavement, the Magic Parking system may cause
the car to mount the pavement.
❒Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not
be carried out.
❒Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if
there are persons and/or animals in the parking
area, moving cars, etc.) and intervene
immediately if necessary.
❒During parking manoeuvres, pay attention to
cars approaching from the opposite direction.
Always follow the Highway Code.
IMPORTANT Correct system operation is not
guaranteed if snow chains or emergency wheels
are fitted.
IMPORTANT The correct positioning of the car
inside the parking space detected by the system
depends on various factors, in particular the
circumference of the wheels. For example,
if wheels with a 14" diameter are fitted, the
position of the car inside the parking area could
be slightly different.MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY
Search in progress:the Magic Parking system is
searching for a suitable parking space.
Parking found:the Magic Parking system has
found a suitable parking space.
Drive forward:the Magic Parking system
requests the driver to proceed slowly to bring the
car to the correct position before starting the
semi-automatic manoeuvre or, during the
semi-automatic manoeuvre, the system requests
the driver to engage the forward gear to continue
the manoeuvre.
Engaging reverse:a suitable parking place has
been found and the position is correct for starting
the parking manoeuvre. Stop and engage reverse.
Disengage reverse:when the Magic Parking
activation button is pressed, reverse gear must be
released for the system to be switched on.
Magic Parking: steering wheel being usedThe
manoeuvre is about to begin, the driver is
requested to release the steering wheel.
Drive backwards - Magic Parking: steering
wheel being used:The manoeuvre has started,
the driver can accelerate and release the clutch (in
the case of a manual gearbox) to enter the parking
space. The system manages the steering
automatically.

Speed too high:The speed of the car is about to
exceed the maximum speed permitted by the
system (the message will be displayed at about 25
km/h for the search stage). If the speed is
increased further, the system will be deactivated
automatically.
Magic Parking not available:A problem has
been detected in the system. In this case, go to a
Lancia Dealership.
Try again later:The Magic Parking system has
detected a problem in one of the systems required
for its operation. If the problem persists, go to a
Lancia Dealership.
Action on the steering wheel:The driver has
voluntarily or involuntarily operated the steering
wheel. The system is disabled and the manoeuvre
is controlled by the driver again.
Magic Parking OFF:The system is deactivated
for one of the following conditions: manoeuvre
concluded, speed limits exceeded, presence of
a trailer, search stage too long, manoeuvre stage
too long, use of parking sensors requested during
the search stage, incorrect car trajectory as a result
of obstacles at the wheels.End Manually:
❒The initial parking stage managed by system
has ended, but the parking manoeuvre must
be completed by the driver.
❒The steering wheel has been grasped during the
manoeuvre.
❒Reverse gear has been disengaged during the
manoeuvre and the car has moved off.
❒Due to obstacles, the path followed by the car is
different from the one required for system
activation.
Trailer present:The system activation has been
requested, but the car has a trailer (the trailer
socket is correctly fitted).
Magic Parking deactivated:The system has
been deactivated following a request to activate
the parking sensors during the search stage with
the vehicle speed below 15 km/h.
IMPORTANT Some messages displayed are
accompanied by acoustic warnings.

FRONT AND REAR PARKING SENSORS
(combined with Magic Parking)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
They are located in the front bumper (for
versions/markets, where provided) fig. 84 and the
rear bumper fig. 85 of the car and they detect
the presence of obstacles in the rear area (versions
with 4 sensors) or front and rear area of the car
(versions with 8 sensors) and alert the driver
by means of an acoustic warning.
The sensors are always combined with the Magic
Parking function.
Version with 10 sensors
The system is activated when reverse gear is
engaged or by pressing the PARK button fig. 86.If Magic Parking function activation has been
requested, the front and rear sensors are not
automatically activated during the search for a
parking space, but can be activated by pressing
the PARK button or by engaging reverse gear
when the speed is below around 15 km/h.

When reverse gear is released, the front and rear
sensors remain activated until a speed of around
15 km/h is exceeded to allow the parking
manoeuvre to be completed.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing the PARK
button again or when a speed of 15 km/h is
exceeded: the LED in the button is off when the
system is not active.
When the sensors are activated, the system starts
to produce acoustic signals from the front or
rear buzzers as soon as an obstacle is detected
with the frequency increasing as the obstacle gets
closer. When the obstacle is less than about 30
cm away, the sound becomes continuous.
Depending on the position of the obstacle (front or
rear) the sound is produced by the corresponding
buzzers (front or rear). The obstacle closest to
the car is signalled.
The acoustic signal stops immediately if the
distance of the obstacle increases. The sound cycle
remains constant if the distance measured by the
centre sensors remains unchanged, while if this
situation occurs for the side sensors, the signal is
interrupted after about 3 seconds (for example, to
prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres
alongside walls).
WARNING
Parking manoeuvres are always the
driver’s responsibility. When making
these manoeuvres, always make sure that no
people (especially children) or animals are
present in your manoeuvring space. The
parking sensors serve to assist the driver.
The driver must never allow his or her
attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those executed
at low speeds.

PARKINGSwitch off the engine and engage the handbrake.
Engage a gear (first gear if parked uphill or
reverse if facing downhill) and leave the wheels
turned. If the car is parked on a steep slope block
the wheels with a wedge or stone. Always remove
the ignition key when leaving the car.
HANDBRAKE
To engage the handbrake pull lever A fig. 112
upwards until the car is secured. To release the
handbrake, raise the lever A slightly, press and
hold the button B and lower the lever.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is also
advisable to block the wheels with a wedge or
stone.

WARNING
Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat and
do not get in the way of the pedals.Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted,
even if slight, could lead over time to
premature wear of the gearbox internal
components.
