key Lancia Ypsilon 2003 Owner handbook (in English)

Detergents pollute water.
The car must therefore be
washed in an area
equipped for the collection and
purification of the liquids used
while washing.
IMPORTANTThe car should be
washed while the engine is cold and
with the ignition key at STOP. After
washing the car, make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber boots
and various guards) have not been re-
moved or damaged.

Windows
Use specific window cleaners to
clean the windows. Use very clean
cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging its transparency.
IMPORTANTTo prevent damage
to the electric heater elements, wipe
the inside of the heated rear window
gently in the same direction as the el-
ements.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment. Be careful not to direct the jet
of water on the electronic control
units. Have this done at a garage.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which could cause the steel to rust.
CLEANING THE SEATS
AND FABRIC UPHOLSTERY
– Remove the dust with a soft brush
or a vacuum cleaner.
– Rub the seats with a sponge moist-
ened in a solution of water and neu-
tral detergent.
