heater Lancia Ypsilon 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device speeds up passenger compartment
warming when it is very cold. The additional
heater turns off automatically after reaching the
required comfort conditions.
The heater activates automatically when knob A is
turned to the last red section and the fan is
activated (knob E turned to at least 1
stspeed).
The heater only works if the outside temperature
and engine coolant temperature are low. The
heater will not activate if the battery voltage is too
low.SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system must be
turned on at least once a month for about
10 minutes. Have the system inspected at a
Lancia Dealership before the summer.

ADJUSTING THE FAN SPEED
Press button
to increase/decrease the fan speed.
The possible speeds are indicated by bars lighting
up on the display:
❒maximum fan speed = all bars lit
❒minimum fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be disabled (no bars lit) only if the
climate control compressor has been switched off
by pressing button
.
To restore automatic fan speed control after a
manual adjustment, press the AUTO button.
RAPID FRONT WINDOW DEMISTING/
DEFROSTING (MAX-DEF function)
Press buttonMAXto automatically activate
the timed operation of all the functions required to
rapidly demist/defrost the windscreen and front
side windows.
The functions are:
❒climate control compressor activation (with an
outside temperature of above 0°C);
❒deactivation, if previously activated, of the
internal air recirculation
❒activation of heated rear window (LED on
buttonMAX
on) and door mirror heater
coils
❒setting maximum air temperature
❒activation of air flow.DEMISTING/DEFROSTING OF HEATED
REAR WINDOW AND DOOR MIRRORS
Press button
to activate: when this function is
activated, the button LED switches on.
This function is timed and will deactivate
automatically after 20 minutes. Press button
again to switch the function off in advance.
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on the inside
of the rear window over the heating filaments
to avoid damage.
IMPORTANT To draw in air from outside, press
button
.
INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press button
.
Air recirculation is carried out according to two
possible operating modes:
❒forced deactivation (air recirculation always
deactivated, air taken from the outside)
❒forced activation (internal air circulation always
activated).
When the OFF button is pressed, the climate
control system automatically activates internal air
recirculation. External air recirculation can always
be activated by pressing button
and vice
versa.
Automatic recirculation operation is requested by
pressing the AUTO button.

IMPORTANT Push the OFF button to turn the
climate control system back on: in this way, all
operating conditions memorised before switching
off are restored.
To restore automatic control of the air distribution
after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
SWITCHING OFF THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
Press the OFF button.
The following information is shown on the
display:

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system must be
turned on at least once a month for about
10 minutes.
Before summer, have the system checked at a
Lancia Dealership.
The system uses R134a refrigerant
fluid which does not pollute the
environment in the event of accidental
leakage. Never use R12 fluid, which is not
compatible with the system components.ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This allows the passenger compartment to be
heated more quickly in cold weather conditions.
The heater switches on automatically according to
the environmental conditions and with engine
started when the temperature of the engine
coolant is low.
The heater switches off automatically when the
required comfort conditions are achieved.
The heater only operates if the outside
temperature and engine coolant temperature are
low. The heater will not activate if the battery
voltage is too low.
START&STOP
Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control manages the
Start&Stop function (engine off when the car
speed is zero) to guarantee adequate comfort
inside the passenger compartment.
In particular, when the weather is extremely hot,
the Start&Stop function is deactivated until
adequate passenger compartment comfort is
ensured. During these transitory stages the engine
is not stopped, even if the car speed is zero.

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.
