seats Lancia Ypsilon 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

INTERIORSPeriodically check for water puddles under the
mats that could cause the panels to rust.
WARNING
Never use flammable products, such
as petrol ether or rectified petrol to
clean the inside of the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation may cause a
fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car:
they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the car is exposed to
sunlight, internal temperature can greatly
exceed this value.SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum
cleaner. It is advisable to use a moist brush on
velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge and a solution of
water and mild soap.
PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth (if
possible made from microfibre), and a solution
of water and neutral, non-abrasive detergent. To
clean oily or persistent stains, use specific
products free from solvents and designed to
maintain the original appearance and colour of
the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre cloth, if
necessary moistened with water. The use of paper
tissues is not recommended as these may leave
residues.
IMPORTANT Never use spirits or petroleum to
clean the instrument panel.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFELancia has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant
improvement of its production processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly "eco-
compatible". To assure customers of the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws
and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Lancia
is offering their customers the opportunity of handing over their vehicle (*) at the end of its life without
incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should
not incur any expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In all European Union
countries, until 1st January 2007, only vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 were collected free of
charge, while since 2007 collection has been free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long
as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no
additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go to one of our Lancia dealerships or
authorised collection and scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high
quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of unused vehicles with respect to the
environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Lancia
Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 526242 00 or on the Lancia website.
(*) Vehicle for transporting passengers with a maximum of nine seats and a total permitted weight of
