dashboard Lancia Ypsilon 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

All restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child seat which must never be
removed. When over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and have to wear the
standard seat belts. Lineaccessori Lancia includes
child seats for each weight group. These devices
are recommended having been specifically
designed for Lancia cars.
WARNING
Do not arrange cradle child seats
facing backwards if the front air bag
on the passenger's side is enabled.
Deployment of the air bag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby
regardless of the severity of the collision. It
is advisable to always carry children in a
child seat on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Should it be absolutely necessary to
carry a child on the front seat in a
backwards-facing craddle seat, the
passenger's front and side air bags must be
deactivated through the Setup menu.
Deactivation should be verified by checking
the warning light on the instrument panel.
The passenger seat must also be positioned
back as far as possible in order to avoid
the child seat from coming into contact with
the dashboard.

AIRBAGThe car is fitted with front airbags for driver and
passenger, front side bags for driver and passenger
chest-shoulder protection (for versions/markets,
where provided), and window bags for protecting
the heads of front occupants.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front (driver and passenger) airbags protect
the front seat occupants in the event of head-on
impacts of medium-high severity, by placing
the bag between the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-deployment in other types of
impacts (side impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.)
does not indicate a system malfunction.
Front (driver and passenger) air bags are not a
replacement of but complementary to the seat
belts, which you are recommended to always wear,
as specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat
belt move forward and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in these
circumstances.Front airbags may not activate in the following
situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformable
objects not involving the front surface of the car
(e.g. wing collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒car wedging under other vehicles or protective
barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they may not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their deployment
would be inappropriate. In these cases, non-
deployment does not indicate a system
malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the
dashboard in the passenger side airbag area,
on side upholstery on roof and on the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger side of the dashboard since they
could interfere with correct inflation of
the passenger airbag and also cause serious
injury to the passengers.

WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: never place
cradle child seats facing backwards
on the front passenger seat of cars
with active passenger side airbag.
Deployment of the airbag following an
impact could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Always deactivate the passenger side
airbag when placing a child seat on the front
seat. The passenger seat must also be
positioned back as far as possible in order
to avoid the child seat from coming into
contact with the dashboard. Although this is
not mandatory by law, the airbag should
be immediately reactivated when children
are no longer transported to ensure better
protection for adults.
Deactivation of passenger side front airbag
and side bag for chest/pelvis protection (for
versions/markets, where provided)
If a child must be carried on the front seat,
deactivate the front passenger side airbag and side
bags for chest/shoulder protection (for versions/
markets where provided). With the airbags
deactivated, the
warning light switches on in
the instrument panel.
IMPORTANT To deactivate the airbags see the
description in the "Getting to know your car"
chapter, "Menu Options" paragraph.SIDE BAGS (Side bag - Window bag)
Side bag
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These comprise two types of bags located in the
front seat backrests fig. 110 which protect the
chest and shoulder area of the occupants in the
event of a side impact of medium-high severity.

REPLACING FUSESGENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they intervene
(blow) in the event of a fault or improper
intervention on the system.
When a device does not work, check the condition
of its protective fuse: the conductor element A
fig. 151 must be intact. If it is not, replace the
blown fuse with another with the same amperage
(same colour).
B = intact fuse;
C = fuse with damaged filament.
To replace a fuse, use the tweeters D hooked to the
fuse box lid on the left-hand side of the
dashboard.
Refer to the tables on the following pages to
identify the protective fuse.
WARNING
If a fuse blows again, contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with metal wires
or anything else.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with another
with a higher amp rating; DANGER
OF FIRE.
WARNING
If a general protective fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE)
blows contact a Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
Before replacing a fuse, make sure
that the ignition key has been
removed and that all the other services are
switched off and/or disengaged.

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

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
