window Lancia Ypsilon 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

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.

Window bag
This consists of two "curtain" bags housed behind
the side upholstery of the roof fig. 111 and
covered with finishing elements, which protect the
heads of front occupants in the event of a side
impact thanks to a wide bag deployment area.
The deployment of side bags in the event of side
impacts of low severity is not required.
In the event of a side impact, the system provides
best protection if the passenger sits on the seat
in a correct position, thus allowing correct window
bag deployment.
IMPORTANT Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.
IMPORTANT Do not rest your head, arms or
elbows on the door, windows or the area in which
the window bag is located to avoid possible injury
during airbag inflation.

IMPORTANT Never lean your head, arms or
elbows out of the window.
IMPORTANT
Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised
steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing
stations).
The front airbags and/or side bags may be
deployed if the car is subject to violent impacts
involving the underbody area (e.g. violent impacts
against steps or kerbs, big holes or dips in the
road etc.).
When the airbag deploys it emits a small amount
of dust: the dust is harmless and does not indicate
the beginning of a fire. The dust may irritate the
skin and eyes however: in this case, wash with
neutral soap and water.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement must be
carried out at a Lancia Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the airbag system
deactivated at a Lancia Dealership.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed in
different ways, according to the type of impact.
Failure to deploy of one or more of the devices
does not indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
If when turning the key to MAR the
warning light
does not switch on or
stays on whilst driving, a failure may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this
case the airbags or pretensioners may not be
deployed in an impact or, in a lower number
of cases, they may be deployed accidentally.
Before continuing, contact a Lancia
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
WARNING
For versions/markets where
provided, in the event of
warning
light failure, the
warning light switches on
and the explosive charges of the passenger
airbag are deactivated.
WARNING
On vehicles with side bags, do not
cover the front seat backrests with
extra covers.

Electrical devices
Only use electrical devices for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need
a considerable amount of energy, therefore
increasing fuel consumption (by up to 25% in the
urban cycle).
Climate control system
The use of the climate control system leads to
higher fuel consumption. If the temperature
outside permits, try to use ventilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a
standstill or at idle or high speed: under these
conditions the engine warms up much more
slowly, increasing consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to move off immediately,
slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way
the engine will warm up more quickly.Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when at traffic lights or before
stopping the engine. This and also double
declutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars
and also increases consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road
conditions allow. Using a low gear for faster
acceleration will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear
increases consumption, emissions and engine wear.
Maximum speed
Fuel consumption increases considerably with
speed. Maintain a constant speed, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration, which cost
in terms of both fuel and emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative effect on
fuel consumption and emissions: accelerate
gradually.

STORING THE CARIf the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be
observed:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible
well-ventilated premises and slightly open
the windows;
❒engage a gear and check that the handbrake is
not engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal (for
versions with Start&Stop system refer to the
paragraph "Start&Stop system" in the chapter
"Knowing your car"); If the battery is not
disconnected the from the electrical system,
check its charge every thirty days;❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds available commercially;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper blades and
lift them off the glass;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated
plastic as they do not allow moisture on the car
body to evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the standard
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.

WARNING
If a general protective fuse for safety
systems (airbag system, braking
system), power unit systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering system
intervenes, contact a Lancia Dealership.
FUSE LOCATION
Engine compartment fuse box
This is located next to the battery: to access fuses
fig. 154 proceed as follows:
❒move the cover A fig. 152 aside;
❒undo screw A fig. 153, release tabs B and
remove cover C by pulling upwards.The number identifying the electrical component
corresponding to each fuse is shown on the cover.
After replacing the fuse, make sure that you
have closed cover C correctly on the fuse box.
If you need to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly
hit the fuse box and the window wiper
motors with the water jet.
