sensor Lancia Ypsilon 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

When reverse gear is released, the front and rear
sensors remain activated until a speed of around
15 km/h is exceeded to allow the parking
manoeuvre to be completed.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing the PARK
button again or when a speed of 15 km/h is
exceeded: the LED in the button is off when the
system is not active.
When the sensors are activated, the system starts
to produce acoustic signals from the front or
rear buzzers as soon as an obstacle is detected
with the frequency increasing as the obstacle gets
closer. When the obstacle is less than about 30
cm away, the sound becomes continuous.
Depending on the position of the obstacle (front or
rear) the sound is produced by the corresponding
buzzers (front or rear). The obstacle closest to
the car is signalled.The acoustic signal stops immediately if the
distance of the obstacle increases. The sound cycle
remains constant if the distance measured by the
centre sensors remains unchanged, while if this
situation occurs for the side sensors, the signal is
interrupted after about 3 seconds (for example, to
prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres
alongside walls).
WARNING
Parking manoeuvres however are
always the driver’s responsibility.
When making these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are present in your
manoeuvring space. The parking sensors
serve to assist the driver, but must never
allow his or her attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.

WARNING BUZZER
The information concerning the presence and
distance of an obstacle from the car is transmitted
by means of acoustic signals from buzzers
installed in the passenger compartment:
❒in the versions with 4 rear sensors, a buzzer in
the front dashboard area warns of the presence
of rear obstacles;
❒in the versions with 10 sensors, a front buzzer
warns of the presence of obstacles at the front
and a buzzer located at the rear warns of the
presence of obstacles at the rear.
The acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between the car and
the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases
❒remains constant if the distance remains
unchanged; if this situation concerns the side
sensors, the buzzer will stop after about 3
seconds to avoid, for example, warning
indications in the event of manoeuvres along
walls.
The sensor must be free of mud, dirt,
snow or ice in order for the system
to work. Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
sensors should be washed using clean water
with the addition of car shampoo if necessary.
When using special washing equipment such
as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean
the sensors very quickly keeping the jet more
than 10 cm away.Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the
area of the sensors carried out by a
Lancia Dealership. Incorrect paint
application could affect the operation of the
parking sensors.

OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is automatically
deactivated when the trailer's electric plug
is inserted in the car's tow hook socket. The
sensors are automatically enabled again when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook
fitted when there is no trailer, it is advisable to go
to a Lancia Dealership to have the system updated
because the tow hook could be detected as an
obstacle by the centre sensors.
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost
attention to any obstacles that could be located
above or below the sensors.
Under certain circumstances close objects located
in front of or behind the car may not be detected
and could therefore cause damage to the car or
be damaged themselves.
The following conditions may influence the
performance of the parking sensor system:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in
the parking assistance system performance
could be due to the presence on the surface of
the sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint
❒The sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical
interference, for example when washing the car,
in rain, (strong wind), hail.❒The signals sent by the sensors can also be
altered by the presence of ultrasonic systems
(e.g. pneumatic brake systems or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle.
❒The performance of the parking assistance
system may also be affected by the position of
the sensors. For example, if the geometry is
altered (as a result of wear of the shock
absorbers, suspension) or the tyres are changed,
the vehicle is too heavily laden, specific tuning
is carried out that lowers the car.
❒The detection of obstacles at the top part of the
car may not be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could cause an impact
with the car in the bottom part.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR VERSIONS
EQUIPPED WITH "Smart Fuel"
WARNING
At the end of the filler do not apply
any object/plug which is not provided
for for the car. The use of non compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, generating
dangerous situations.
WARNING
Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire
risk. Keep your face away from the fuel filler
to prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
IMPORTANT If the filler compartment is washed
with a high pressure jet, keep it at a distance of
at least 20 cm.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing petrol
fuel engine emissions: catalytic converter, oxygen
sensors and evaporation control system
Do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one
or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions: oxidising catalytic
converter, exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR)
and particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a mechanical filter, fitted in the exhaust
system, which almost completely eliminates
carbon particle emissions.
WARNING
During normal service, the catalytic
converter and the diesel particulate
filter (DPF) reach high temperatures. Do not
therefore park the car over inflammable
materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles,
etc.): fire hazard.

sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first,
otherwise it may explode. If freezing has
occurred, the battery should be checked by
skilled personnel to make sure that the
internal elements are not damaged and that
the body is not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.
