You are recommended to read this chapter sit-
ting comfortably in your new Lancia Y. In this
way you will be able to identify the parts de-
scribed immediate and see for yourself what you
have just read.
In short, you will increase your knowledge of your
Lancia Y with its controls and other devices. Later,
when you start the engine and join the traffic you
will make a host of other pleasant discoveries.

Work involving knocks,
vibrations or localised
heating (maximum 6 hours
at over 100° C) near the preten-
sioner unit can cause damage or
even trigger the device. Vibrations
caused by uneven roads or acci-
dentally driving over small bumps
(e.g. curbs), etc., do not fall into
this category. See a LANCIA Deal-
ership if work is required on the
device.The pretensioners can
only be used once. After
they have been activated,
have them replaced at a LANCIA
Dealership.
The device was made to last 10
years from the manufacturing date
shown in the specific adhesive la-
bel. The pretensioners must be
changed before expiry.
Remember, in the case of
a violent collision, back
seat passengers not wear-
ing seat belts also represent a se-
rious danger to the passengers in
the front. USE OF THE REAR SEAT BELTS
(fig. 18)
The belts for the back seats must be
worn as shown.
To ensure the correct buckle is used,
the tongues of the side seat belts will
not fit into the buckle of the middle
seat belt.
You should put the belt on when you
are sitting upright and leaning back
in your seat.IMPORTANTThe seat belt has
been adjusted correctly when it fits
snugly across the wearer’s hips.

The vents can be rotated upwards or
downwards.
A- Control for directing the air flow:
rotated towards
¥or
à= vent open;
rotated towards
ç= vent closed.
B- Control for regulating air flow.
C- Fixed vent for side windows
(fig. 43).
D - Fixed vent for front-seat pas-
senger(fig. 42).CONTROLS (fig. 44)
A- Air temperature knob (mixture
of hot/cold air).
B- Fan knob, which may have 3 or
4 speeds according to the version.
C- Air distribution knob.
D- Air recirculation slider. This pre-
vents air from being taken in from
outside.HEATING
1)Air temperature knob: pointer in
the red sector.
2)Fan knob: pointer set at the speed
required.
3)Air distribution knob: pointer set
at:
≤to warm the feet and demist the
windscreen at the same time;
≥to generally warm the passenger
compartment;
μto warm the feet and direct cooler
our towards the face (“bi-level” func-
tion).
4)Recirculation slider: to speed up
heating, move the air recirculation
slider to position T, which means
only inside air is recirculated.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
AND POLLUTION
Some suggestions which may help
you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of
toxic emissions released into the at-
mosphere are given below.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
The overall state of the car is an im-
portant factor which has a marked in-
fluence over fuel consumption and
driving comfort and on the life span
of your car. For this reason care
should be taken to maintain your ve-
hicle by carrying out the necessary
checks and regulations in accordance
with the specifications given in the
Servize Schedule (see spark plugs,
idle, air filters, timing sections).Tyres
Tyres should be checked at least
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low fuel consumption increases as the
resistance to the rolling movement of
the tyre is greater. In this state, tyre
wear is increased and car handling
suffers which will affect safety.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the
car (especially when driving in town)
and its trim greatly affects consump-
tion and stability.
Roof/ski racks
Remove roof or ski racks from the
roof of the car as soon as they are no
longer needed. These accessories re-
duce the aerodynamic penetration of
the car and will increase consump-
tion. When transporting particularly
large objects, use a trailer where pos-
sible.Electrical devices
Use the electrical devices for the nec-
essary time only. The heated rear win-
dow, supplementary lights, wind-
screen wipers, heating system blower
require large amounts of energy and,
increasing the request for power also
increases fuel consumption (up to
+25% when driving in built-up areas).
Air conditioner
The air conditioner is an additional
load which greatly affects the engine
leading to higher consumption (on av-
erage up to +20%). When the tem-
perature outside the car permits it,
use the air vents where possible.
Spoilers
The use of aerodynamic optional ex-
tras which are not certified for specific
use on the car, may reduce the aero-
dynamic penetration of the car and
increase consumption.

Fuses in the engine compartment
A fusebox located near the positive
battery terminal contains six high am-
perage fuses which further protect the
car from the risk of fire by preventing
the high intensity current wires from
overheating. To reach the fuses, lift the
two covers as shown (fig. 34 and35).
IMPORTANTIf you need to replace
one of the six above-mentioned fuses,
get in touch with your LANCIA
Dealership.A second fusebox (fig. 36)is located
on the right-hand side of the engine
compartment(fig. 36).
Loosen screw Ato loosen the cover
B.Two fuses are located under a pro-
tection cap (fig. 37)on the outer side
of the fusebox on the right-hand side
of the engine compartment.
