steering wheel Lancia Ypsilon 2011 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.
GENERAL WARNINGS
❒The ultimate responsibility when parking,
however, always rests with the driver. During
these manoeuvres, always make sure that no
people, animals or objects are within the
manoeuvring area. The Magic Parking system
(like parking sensors) is designed to assist
drivers: in all cases, you must always pay the
utmost attention during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even when these are carried out
a low speed:
❒If the sensors undergo shocks influencing their
position, the system operation could be strongly
degraded.

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 carry
on 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

AIRBAGThe car is fitted with front airbags for driver and
passenger, front side bags for driver and passenger
chest-shoulder protection (for versions/markets,
where provided), and window bags for protecting
the heads of front occupants.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front (driver and passenger) airbags protect
the front seat occupants in the event of head-on
impacts of medium-high severity, by placing
the bag between the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-deployment in other types of
impacts (side impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.)
does not indicate a system malfunction.
Front (driver and passenger) air bags are not a
replacement of but complementary to the seat
belts, which you are recommended to always wear,
as specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat
belt move forward and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in these
circumstances.Front air bags may not deploy in the following
situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformable
objects not involving the front surface of the car
(e.g. wing collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒car wedging under other vehicles or protective
barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they may not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their deployment
would be inappropriate. In these cases, non-
deployment does not indicate a system
malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering
wheel, on the
dashboard in the passenger side airbag area,
on side upholstery on roof and on the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger side of the dashboard since they
could interfere with correct inflation of
the passenger airbag and also cause serious
injury to the passengers.

If, when the ignition key is at MAR the
warning light remains lit, turn the key to
STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light
remains lit, try with the other keys provided
with the car.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot
start the engine.
Warning light
will flash for 60
seconds after starting or during
prolonged cranking to indicate a fault
with the glow plug heating system. You can
use the car as usual if the engine starts but
you should contact a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.
WARNING
It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The
engine takes
in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are
not operational
until the engine has been started, therefore
much effort than usual is required on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
We recommend that during the initial
period you do not demand to full
performance from the car (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top
speed, sharp braking etc.).When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR to prevent
useless current absorption from
draining the battery.Never jump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it beyond
repair.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at
medium revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❒Do not demand full performance at first. Wait
until the engine coolant temperature gauge
starts moving.

LANCIA CODE SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
The warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on (along with a message on the display
on some versions) to indicate a Lancia CODE
system failure: in this case contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.GLOW PLUG HEATING/GLOW PLUG
HEATING FAILURE (Diesel versions)
(amber)
GLOW PLUG HEATING
The warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR and switches off as soon as the
glow plugs have reached the preset temperature.
The engine can be started as soon as the warning
light switches off.
IMPORTANT At high ambient temperatures the
warning light may stay on for an extremely short
time.
GLOW PLUG HEATING FAILURE
The warning light flashes (together with a
message and a symbol on the display on some
versions) to indicate a fault in the glow plugs
preheating system. Contact a Lancia Dealership to
have the fault fixed as soon as possible.
WATER IN DIESEL FUEL FILTER
(Diesel versions) (amber)
The warning light remains on constantly when
driving (together with a message and a symbol on
the display on some versions), to indicate the
presence of water in the diesel fuel filter.The presence of water in the supply
circuit may cause severe damage to the
injection system and irregular engine
operation. If the
warning light switches on,
go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible
for bleeding. If this problem is indicated
immediately after refueling, water may have
entered the fuel tank. In this case,
immediately turn off the engine and contact
your Lancia Dealership.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE (red)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. If the warning light (or, on
some versions, a message and a symbol on the
display) remains on, you may not have steering
assistance and the effort required to operate
the steering wheel could be notably increased;
steering is, however, possible. In this case, go to a
Lancia Dealership.

IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors
independent of the electric power steering could
cause the warning light on the instrument panel to
switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately,
switch off the engine for about 20 seconds and
then restart the engine. If the warning light (or, on
some versions, a message and a symbol on the
display) remains on constantly, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected,
the steering must be initialised. The warning light
switches on to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the
way from one end to the other or drive in a
straight line for about a hundred metres.
CRUISE CONTROL (green)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off
after a few seconds, if the Cruise Control is
deactivated. The warning light comes on when the
Cruise Control ring nut is turned to the ON
position (see the paragraph “Cruise Control”
paragraph in the chapter "Knowing your car").
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) BEING
CLEANED
(only Diesel versions with DPF) (amber)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. The warning light (together
with a message and a symbol on the display on
some versions) switches on constantly to notify the
driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate
captured pollutants (particulate) by the
regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving
conditions require that the driver is notified. To
switch the warning light off, the car must be kept
moving until the regeneration process is
completed.
As an average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
The best conditions to complete the regeneration
process are reached driving the car at about 60
km/h with engine speed over 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not
indicate a fault with the car and it should
therefore not be taken to a workshop. A specific
message will appear on the display when the
warning light comes on (for versions/markets,
where provided).

Never use a fast battery-charger to start
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car,
particularly the ignition and fuel supply
control units.
WARNING
This procedure must be performed by
expert personnel because
incorrect
actions could cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames and lighted cigarettes away from the
battery and do not cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not active
until the engine is started. A much greater effort
will therefore be required to use the brake pedal or
turn the steering wheel.
REPLACING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the "Fix&Go Automatic
Kit": see the paragraph “Automatic Fix&Go
Kit” for how to use this device. As an alternative
to the “Automatic Fix&Go Kit” the car may be
equipped with a space-saver wheel: see the
instructions on the following pages for changing
the tyre.
WARNING
The space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets where provided)
is specific
to your car, do not use it on other models, or
use the space-saver wheel of other models
on your car. The space-saver wheel must
only be used in case of emergency. It must
only be used for the distance necessary
to reach a service point and the car speed
must not exceed 80 km/h. The space-saver
wheel has an orange sticker that summarises
the main cautions for use and limitations.
Never remove or cover the label. The
following information is provided in four
languages on the label: "Important! For
temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
with a standard tyre as soon as possible.
Never cover this indication." Never apply a
hub cap on a space-saver wheel.

WARNING
Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then
to STOP without
removing it. The steering column will
automatically lock when the key is removed
and the wheels cannot be steered.
WARNING
Before tightening the hook clean the
threaded housing thoroughly
. Make
sure that the hook is fully fastened in the
housing before towing the car.
WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the
brake servo and
the electric power assisted steering is not
available, greater force needs to be exerted
on the brake pedal and more effort is
required on the steering wheel. Do not use
flexible cables when towing and avoid jerky
movements. During towing, make sure that
the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing the
car, it is compulsory to respect specific
highway code regulations relating to the tow
hook and procedures for towing on the
road. Do not start the engine while towing
the car.
