snow chains Lancia Ypsilon 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

When setting off, the ESC system control unit
maintains braking pressure on the wheels until the
torque required for starting is reach or, in any
case, for a maximum of 2 seconds so that the right
foot can be moved easily from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
When 2 seconds have elapsed, without any
departure having taken place, the system is
automatically deactivated, gradually releasing the
braking pressure. During this release stage, a
typical mechanical brake release noise can
be heard, indicating that the car is about to move.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a
parking brake, therefore do not leave the vehicle
without activating the handbrake, switching
off the engine and engaging first gear.
ASR SYSTEM (AntiSlip Regulation)
It is an integral part of the ESC system. It
automatically operates in the event of one or both
drive wheels slipping, loss of grip on wet roads
(aquaplaning) and acceleration on slippery, snowy
or icy roads, etc…
Depending on the slipping conditions, two
different control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the
ASR intervenes reducing the power transmitted
by the engine;
❒if the slipping only involves one of the drive
wheels, it intervenes automatically braking
the wheel that is slipping.Activation/deactivation of the ASR system
The ASR system activates automatically each time
the engine is started.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be deactivated and
subsequently activated again by pressing the ASR
OFF button fig. 70.
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display.
When the system is not active, the LED on the
button ASR OFF turns on and, on some versions,
a message appears on the display.
When the ASR is deactivated whilst driving, the
next time the car is started the ASR is
automatically activated.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains,
it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in
these conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when
moving off makes it possible to obtain better
traction.

❒Sensors may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo noise) due to mechanical noises, for
example while washing the car, in the case of
rain, strong wind, hail.
❒The sensors might not detect objects of a
particular shape or made from particular
materials (very thin poles, trailer beams, panels,
nets, bushes, parking deterrents, rubbish bins,
motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
to check that the car and its path are actually
compatible with the parking area identified
by the system.
❒The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a
different size to those at the time the car was
purchased could affect the operation of the
system.
❒If the battery is disconnected or is nearly flat,
the Magic Parking system will not be available
until the vehicle is driven for a few hundred
metres on a curved path to initialise the system.
❒If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly
inserted) the Magic Parking system will
automatically be disabled.
❒If the Magic Parking system is in "search in
progress" mode, the system could incorrectly
identify a parking space and carry out the
manoeuvre (e.g. by a junction, carriage track,
roads crossing the direction of travel, etc.)
❒In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a
gradient, the performance of the system could
be inferior and it may deactivate.❒If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the
pavement, the Magic Parking system may cause
the car to mount the pavement.
❒Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not
be carried out.
❒Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if
there are persons and/or animals in the parking
area, moving cars, etc.) and intervene
immediately if necessary.
❒During parking manoeuvres, pay attention to
cars approaching from the opposite direction.
Always follow the Highway Code.
IMPORTANT Correct system operation is not
guaranteed if snow chains or emergency wheels
are fitted.
IMPORTANT The correct positioning of the car
inside the parking space detected by the system
depends on various factors, in particular the
circumference of the wheels. For example,
if wheels with a 14" diameter are fitted, the
position of the car inside the parking area could
be slightly different.

WARNING
The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it
is 190 km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for
"H" tyres. The highway code speed limits
must however always be complied with.
SNOW CHAINSThe use of snow chains should be in compliance
with local regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the
front wheel tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first
few metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided). If the front tyre has a puncture, replace
a rear wheel with the sapce-saver wheel and
move the rear wheel to the front axle. This way
with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can be
fitted to them to solve an emergency.
Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50
km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and
pavements and avoid driving for long
distances on roads not covered with snow to
prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.

WARNING
The jack provided is only intended to
be used for replacing tyres on the
car with which it is supplied, or on
same-model vehicles. Never use the jack for
other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations
under the car. Incorrectly positioning the
jack may cause the car to fall. Do not use the
jack for loads higher than the one shown
on its label. Never install snow chains on the
space-saver wheel; if a front tyre (driving
wheel) is punctured and you need to use
snow chains, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel
on the rear axle. In this way, with two
normal drive wheels, it is possible to use
snow chains.
WARNING
Fit the wheel cap correctly to prevent
it from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflating valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical specifications"
section.JACK
Important notes:
❒the jack weight is 1,76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in the event of a
fault it must be replaced by another original
one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device may be
fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒Stop the car in a position that is not dangerous
for oncoming traffic where you can change the
wheel safely. The ground must be flat and
sufficiently compact;
❒switch off the engine, pull up the handbrake
and engage the 1
stgear or the reverse gear.
Wear the reflective safety jacket (compulsory by
law in certain countries) before getting out of
the car;
❒open the luggage compartment, pull tab A fig.
115 and lift up the mat;
❒using the wrench A fig. 116 located in the tool
box, loosen the locking device, take the tool
box B and place it close to the wheel to be
replaced. Then take the space-saver wheel C;
❒take the wrench A fig. 117 and loosen the fixing
bolts by about one turn. For versions with alloy
rims, shake the car to facilitate detachment of
the rim from the wheel hub.
