display Lancia Ypsilon 2011 Owner handbook (in English)

Manual selections always have higher priority over
automatic settings and are stored until the user
switches the system back to automatic control
expect for cases in which the system intervenes for
particular safety-related reasons. You can adjust
one function manually without affecting the
automatic control of the others.
The amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment is not affected by car speed; it is
regulated by the fan, which is controlled
electronically.
The temperature of the air introduced is always
controlled automatically, according to the
temperature set in the display for the driver and
the front passenger (except when the system is off
or in certain conditions when the compressor is
deactivated).
The system allows the following to be set or
adjusted manually:
❒driver/front passenger side air temperature
❒fan speed (continuous variation)
❒air distribution to 5 positions (driver/passenger)
❒compressor activation
❒rapid defrosting/demisting function
❒air recirculation
❒heated rear window
❒system deactivation.SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL

ACTIVATION OF INTERIOR AIR
RECIRCULATION AND ENABLEMENT OF
AQS FUNCTION (Air Quality System)
Press button
.
Internal air recirculation is carried out according
to three possible operating modes:
❒automatic control;
❒forced deactivation (air recirculation always
deactivated, air taken from the outside)
❒forced activation (internal air circulation always
activated).
When the OFF button is pressed, the climate
control system automatically activates internal air
recirculation. External air recirculation can always
be activated by pressing button
and vice
versa.
With the OFF button pressed, it is not possible to
activate the AQS (Air Quality System) function.IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions more quickly depending on the mode
selected. It is not advisable to switch the air
recirculation on when it is rainy/cold to prevent
the windows from misting, especially if the climate
control system has not been activated. It is
advisable to switch the internal air recirculation
on whilst queuing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air. Do not use the
function for a long time, particularly if there are
several passengers on board, to prevent the
windows from misting.
AQS (Air Quality System) function activation
The AQS function automatically activates internal
air recirculation when the outside air is polluted
(e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after
15 consecutive minutes of the internal air
recirculation system functioning, the climate
control system enables the intake of outside air for
approximately 1 minute to freshen the air in the
passenger compartment. This takes place
regardless of the pollution level of the outside air.

passenger compartment to be warmed up
quickly.+
+
Air flow distribution between
front and rear diffusers,
centre/side dashboard diffusers,
rear diffuser and windscreen
and front side window
demisting/defrosting diffusers.
Air flow distribution to centre/side dashboard
diffusers (passenger's body).+
Air flow distributed between footwell
diffusers and windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting diffusers.
This distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed
effectively and prevents the windows
from misting.
+
Air flow distribution between footwell
diffusers (hotter air) and centre/side
dashboard diffusers and rear diffuser
(cooler air).
+
Air flow distribution between
centre/side dashboard vents, rear
diffuser and windscreen and front side
window demisting/defrosting diffusers.
This distribution setting ventilates

AUTOMATIC LIGHTING CONTROL
(AUTOLIGHT) (Dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This infrared LED sensor, combined with the rain
sensor and located on the windscreen, detects
the variations in outside brightness depending on
the light sensitivity set with the Setup Menu:
the greater the sensitivity, the less external light is
required to activate the exterior lights.
Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring nut A fig. 34
is turned to
. In this way the side lights and
dipped headlights are activated automatically
according to the external light level.When the lights are turned on by the sensor, the
fog lights (for versions/markets, where provided)
and the rear fog lights may be turned on. When
the lights are automatically switched off, the front
and rear fog lights (if activated) are also switched
off. The next time the lights are switched on
automatically, the fog lights must be reactivated
manually (if required).
With the sensor active, it is possible to flash the
headlights but the main beam headlights cannot
be switched on. To activate these lights, turn
the ring nut A to
and activate the fixed dipped
beam headlights.
When the lights have been activated automatically
and are then switched off by the sensor, the
dipped beam headlights are switched off first,
followed by the side lights a few seconds later. If
the sensor is activated but is malfunctioning,
the side lights and dipped beam headlights are
switched on irrespective of the outside light level
and the sensor failure is indicated on the
instrument panel display. It is also possible to
deactivate the sensor and switch on the side lights
and dipped beam headlights.
IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the
presence of fog. Under these circumstances, these
lights are therefore turned on manually.

assistance device which allows the car to be driven
at a chosen speed above 30 km/h on long
stretches of dry, straight roads with few variations
(e.g. motorways), without having to depress the
accelerator pedal. It is therefore not recommended
to use this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use the device in town.
Activating the device
Activation is indicated by warning light
switching on and, on some versions, by a
message on the display.
The speed adjustment function cannot be
activated in 1

the car speed may slightly exceed the stored one.
Storing car speed
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A fig. 37 to ON and press the
accelerator pedal so that the car reaches the
desired speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one
second, then release it: the speed is memorised
and you can therefore release the accelerator
pedal.If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can
accelerate simply by depressing the accelerator
pedal: when you release the pedal, the car goes
back to the speed stored previously.
Restoring the stored speed
If the device has been deactivated, for example by
depressing the brake or clutch pedal, the stored
speed can be restored as follows:
❒accelerate progressively until a speed close to
that stored is reached;
❒engage the gear selected at the time that the
speed was stored;
❒press the RES button.
