technical specifications Lancia Ypsilon 2011 Owner handbook (in English)

CRUISE CONTROL(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled driving
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
stor reverse gear; it is advisable to
activate the function in 4
th
or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device active,
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.

Increasing the stored speed
This can be carried out in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and storing the new
speed reached
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each movement of the stalk corresponds to an
increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held upwards will continuously increase
the speed.
Decreasing the stored speed
This can be carried out in two ways:
❒by deactivating the device and then storing the
new speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (-) until the
new speed, which will be stored automatically, is
reached.
Each movement of the lever corresponds to a
reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease the speed
continuously.
Deactivating the device
The device can be deactivated by the driver in the
following ways:
❒by turning ring nut A to the OFF position❒by stopping the engine
❒by pressing the brake pedal, the clutch or the
accelerator; in this last case the system is not
effectively deactivated but gives priority to the
acceleration request. The device still remains
active, without the need to press the RES button
to return to the previous condition once
acceleration is concluded.
Automatic deactivation
The device deactivates automatically in the
following cases:
❒if the ABS or ESC systems intervene
❒with the car speed below the set limit
❒in the event of system failure.
WARNING
When travelling with the device
active, never move
the gear lever to
neutral.
WARNING
In the event of device faults or
failures, turn knob
A to OFF and
contact a Lancia Dealership.
