check engine light Lancia Ypsilon 2011 Owner handbook (in English)

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas
and
inflammable vapours may be present, with
the risk of fire.
WARNING
Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when
the engine
is hot: you may get burned. Remember that
the fan may start up if the engine is hot:
this could injure you. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
Be careful, when topping up, and take
care not to mix up the various types
of fluids: they are all incompatible with
one another and could seriously damage the
car.

ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after
the engine has stopped, with the car parked on
level ground.
For 1.2 8V 69 HP and 1.3 16V MultiJet
versions
Remove the engine oil dipstick B, clean it with a
cloth that does not leave any trace and resinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
The range between the MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN mark, add
oil through the filler A until it reaches the MAX
mark.
The oil level should never exceed the
MAX mark.
For 0.9 TwinAir 85 HP versions
The engine oil dipstick A is integral with plug A.
Loosen the plug, clean the dipstick with a cloth
that does not leave traces, reinsert the dipstick
and re-tighten the plug. Extract the plug again
and check that the level is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick.Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually
400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of usage for the car, the
engine is bedding in, therefore the engine oil
consumption may settle down only after the first
5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let
the engine run for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after switching it off before checking the
level.
Do not add oil with characteristics that
are different from those of the oil
currently in the engine.Used engine oil and filter contain
harmful substances for the
environment. You are advised to go to a
Lancia Dealership to have the oil and filters
replaced.
ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked when the
engine is cold and must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, undo reservoir cap C (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".

PARAFLU
UP
anti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when
topping up. PARAFLU
UP
may not be mixed
with any other types of fluids. If this occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your
Lancia Dealership immediately.
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only
replace the cap with
another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHING
FLUID
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap D (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
WARNING
Do not travel if the windscreen
washer reservoir is
empty: using the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may set it on fire.
BRAKE FLUID
Check that the liquid is at the maximum level (the
fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the
MAX mark). If the fluid level in the tank is too
low, undo reservoir cap E (see previous pages) and
add the fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
NoteCarefully clean the cap of the reservoir E
and the surrounding surface.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets
into the reservoir.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with
integrated filter with mesh equal to or lower than
0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it
absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car
is mainly used in areas with a high degree
of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than specified
in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.

BATTERYBattery F (see previous pages) does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled water. A
periodic check carried out at a Lancia Dealership
is, however, necessary to check efficiency.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If necessary, replace the battery with another
original battery with the same specifications.
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last
longer, observe the following instructions:
❒when you park the car, ensure that the doors,
tailgate and bonnet are closed properly, to
prevent any roof lights from remaining on inside
the passenger's compartment;
❒switch off all roof lights inside the car: the car is
however equipped with a system which switches
all internal lights off automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system,
hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the negative
battery cable;
❒completely tighten the battery terminals.IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under
50% for a long time, the battery is damaged
by sulphation, reducing its capacity and efficiency
at start-up.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing
(this can happen as early as -10°C). Refer to
the paragraph "Car inactivity" in "Starting and
driving" if the car is left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the car, you wish to install
electrical accessories which require permanent
electrical supply (alarm etc.) or accessories which
influence the electrical supply requirements,
contact a Lancia Dealership, whose qualified staff
will evaluate the overall electrical consumption.
WARNING
Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages
the battery
and may cause an explosion.
