tow Lancia Ypsilon 2011 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only
for emergencies on
the road. You are allowed to tow the car for
short distances using an appropriate device
in accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transporting via a
breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks MUST NOT
be used to tow vehicles off the road or where
there are obstacles and/or for towing
operations using cables or other non-rigid
devices. Respecting the above conditions,
towing must take place with the two vehicles
(one towing, the other towed) aligned as
much as possible along the same centre line.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a
long life for the car under the best conditions.
Lancia has prepared a series of checks and service
operations to be carried out every 30,000
kilometres (for petrol versions) or every 35,000
kilometres (for diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled Servicing Plan
(e.g. periodically check level of liquids, tyre
pressure, etc.) before 30,000/35,000 km and
between these services deadlines.
Scheduled Services are offered by all Lancia
Dealerships according to a set time schedule. If,
during each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be carried out
only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the
interval between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.WARNING
At 2000 km from the next service operation the
display will show a message.
The Scheduled Services are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Lancia Dealership of
any small operating irregularities without waiting
for the next service.

INTRODUCTIONThe radio has been designed according to the
passenger compartment's specific characteristics
and with a personalised design that complements
the style of the dashboard.
The instructions for use are given below. We
recommend that you read them carefully.
TIPS
Road safety
Familiarise yourself with the various car radio
functions (e.g. storing radio stations), before
starting to drive.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly while
driving. Reception may be interfered with by the
presence of mountains, buildings or bridges, or
when you are far away from the broadcaster.
Note
The volume may be increased when receiving
traffic alerts and news.
WARNING
If the volume is too loud this could be
dangerous for the
driver and for
passengers when driving in traffic. Always
adjust the volume so that you can still hear
background noises.
Maintenance and care
Only clean the cover with a soft, anti-static cloth.
Cleaning and polishing products may damage the
surface.
CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may
cause skipping during playback and poor sound
quality. Follow these tips for optimum playback
conditions:
❒only use CDs with the brand:
❒clean every CD thoroughly removing any
fingerprints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs
by the circumference and clean them from the
centre towards the edge;
