headlight Lancia Ypsilon 2011 Owner handbook (in English)

HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the
MAR position and the dipped headlights on.
Headlight alignment adjustment
To adjust press
buttons or
fig. 67. The
instrument panel display shows the position in
relation to the adjustment set.
Position 0 - one or two persons on the front seats
Position1-4persons
Position2-4persons + load in the luggage
compartment
Position 3 - driver + maximum admissible load all
stored in the luggage compartment.
IMPORTANT Check alignment every time the
load carried changes.IMPORTANT If the car is equipped with (Xenon)
gas discharge headlights, the headlight alignment
is controlled electronically, as a consequence the
and
buttons are not present.
FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the
headlights properly adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
Dipped headlights are adjusted to drive in the
country where the vehicle was originally
purchased. When travelling in countries with
opposite driving direction, to avoid dazzling the
drivers on the other side of the road, you need
to cover areas of the headlight according to the
Highway code of the country you are travelling in.

Electrical devices
Only use electrical devices for the time needed.
The heated rear window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, therefore
increasing fuel consumption (by up to 25% in the
urban cycle).
Climate control system
The use of the climate control system leads to
higher fuel consumption. If the temperature
outside permits, try to use ventilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a
standstill or at idle or high speed: under these
conditions the engine warms up much more
slowly, increasing consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to move off immediately,
slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way
the engine will warm up more quickly.Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when at traffic lights or before
stopping the engine. This and also double
declutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars
and also increases consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road
conditions allow. Using a low gear for faster
acceleration will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear
increases consumption, emissions and engine wear.
Maximum speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed
increases. Maintain a constant speed, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration, which cost
in terms of both fuel and emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative effect on
fuel consumption and emissions: accelerate
gradually.

CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb, always check
its alignment;
❒when a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before changing
a bulb. For the location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph “If a fuse blows” in this section;
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to the
electric system that
are not carried
out properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the risk of
fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the
case of breakage they may
burst.
Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only.
Touching the transparent part of the
bulb with your fingers may reduce the
intensity of the emitted light and even reduce
the lifespan of the bulb. In case of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened
with alcohol and let the bulb dry.If possible, we recommend that you
have bulbs replaced at a Lancia
Dealership. The correct operation and
aiming of the outer lights are absolutely
essential for the safety of the car and of
compliance with law.Due to the high supply voltage, Xenon
gas-discharge bulbs (for versions/
markets, where provided) must only be
replaced by a specialist technician: danger of
death! Contact a Lancia Dealership.

IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp
or after heavy rain or washing, the surface of
headlights or rear lights, may steam up and/or
form drops of condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the difference in
temperature and humidity between the inside and
the outside of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the normal
operation of lighting devices. The mist disappears
quickly when the lights are turned on, starting
from the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.
