Lancia Ypsilon 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

When the ECO function is activated, the car is set
for city driving, characterised by less effort on
the steering wheel (Dualdrive system on) and
reduced fuel consumption.
When this function is activated, the word ECO on
the display will light up on some versions.
This function stays in the memory, so when the
vehicle is started again, the system keeps the
setting it had before the engine was stopped. Press
the ECO button again to deactivate the function
and restore the normal driving setting.
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This intervenes in the event of an impact causing:
❒the interruption of the fuel supply with the
engine consequently cutting out
❒the automatic unlocking of the doors
❒the automatic switching on of the interior lights
❒the switching on of the hazard warning lights.
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the car for fuel
leaks, for instance in the engine compartment,
under the car or near the tank area. After a
collision, turn the ignition key to STOP to prevent
the battery from running down.
To restore the correct operation of the car, proceed
as follows:
❒turn the ignition key to the MAR position;❒activate the right direction indicator;
❒deactivate the right direction indicator;
❒activate the left direction indicator;
❒deactivate the left direction indicator;
❒activate the right direction indicator;
❒deactivate the right direction indicator;
❒activate the left direction indicator;
❒deactivate the left direction indicator;
❒turn the ignition key to the STOP position.
WARNING
If, after an impact, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel system,
do not reactivate the system to avoid the risk
of fire.
