low beam Lancia Ypsilon 2011 Owner handbook (in English)

When the ignition key is turned to STOP or
removed and the ring nut is turned from O to
,
all the side lights and number plate lights switch
on. The
warning light will come on in the
instrument panel.
PARKING LIGHTS
These lights can only be turned on with ignition
key in STOP position or removed, by moving
the ring nut A first to positionOand then to
position.
The warning light
switches on on the
instrument panel. When the direction indicator
stalk is activated the side for the lights (left or
right) can be selected.
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.

❒If the sensors are dirty, covered by snow, ice or
mud or are repainted compared to the original
conditions, the system operation could be
strongly degraded. It is vital that the sensors are
always clean in order for the system to work
properly. During cleaning make sure not to
scratch or damage them; avoid using dry or
rough cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations, clean
the sensors quickly, keeping the steam jet/high
pressure washing nozzles at least 10 cm away
from the sensors.
❒Ultrasonic sound sources (e.g. pneumatic brakes
of trucks or air drills) nearby could negatively
influence the sensor performance.
❒Sensors may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo noise) due to mechanical noises, for
example while washing the car, in the case of
rain, strong wind, hail.
❒The sensors might not detect objects of a
particular shape or made from particular
materials (very thin poles, trailer beams, panels,
nets, bushes, parking deterrents, rubbish bins,
motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
to check that the car and its path are actually
compatible with the parking area identified
by the system.
❒The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a
different size to those at the time the car was
purchased could affect the operation of the
system.❒If the battery is disconnected or is nearly flat,
the Magic Parking system will not be available
until the vehicle is driven for a few hundred
metres on a curved path to initialise the system.
❒If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly
inserted) the Magic Parking system will
automatically be disabled.
❒If the Magic Parking system is in "search in
progress" mode, the system could incorrectly
identify a parking space and carry out the
manoeuvre (e.g. by a junction, carriage track,
roads crossing the direction of travel, etc.)
❒In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a
gradient, the performance of the system could
be inferior and it may deactivate.
❒If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the
pavement, the Magic Parking system may cause
the car to mount the pavement.
❒Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not
be carried out.
❒Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if
there are persons and/or animals in the parking
area, moving cars, etc.) and intervene
immediately if necessary.
❒During parking manoeuvres, pay special
attention to cars approaching from the opposite
direction. Always follow the Highway Code.
