belt Lancia Ypsilon 2011 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
The airbag deployment threshold is
higher than that
of the pretensioners.
For collisions in the range between the two
thresholds, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace seat belts
but increases their
efficiency.
Because front airbags are not deployed for
low-speed impacts, side impacts, rear and
collisions or rollovers, in these cases,
occupants are protected, excepting any side
bags, only by their safety belts, which must
always be fastened.

WARNING
A failure of the
warning light is
indicated by warning light
switching on. In addition, the airbag
system automatically disables the airbags on
the passenger's side (both front and side
airbags where provided). Before continuing,
contact a Lancia Dealership immediately
to have the system checked.
UNFASTENED SEAT BELTS (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on constantly with the
car stationary and the driver's side or passenger
side seat belt (when the passenger is present)
not fastened. The warning light will flash and a
buzzer will sound if the car is in motion and
the front seat belts are not correctly fastened.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you wish to
permanently deactivate the S.B.R. (Seat Belt
Reminder) system buzzer. The system can be
reactivated using the Setup menu (see the
description in the chapter "Knowing your car").
LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the
warning light switches on but should switch off as
soon as the engine is started (with the engine
idling, a brief delay can be expected).
If the warning light (or, on some versions, a
message and a symbol on the display) remains on
constantly or flashing, contact a Lancia
Dealership.CONTINUOUSLY ON: LOW ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE (red)
ON FLASHING: ENGINE OIL
DETERIORATED
(only Diesel versions with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the
warning light switches on but should switch off as
soon as the engine is started.
1. Insufficient engine oil pressure
The warning light switches on constantly together
(for versions/markets, where provided) with a
message on the display when the system detects
that the engine oil pressure is too low.
