ignition Lancia Ypsilon 2013 Owner handbook (in English)

IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors
independent of the electric power steering could
cause the warning light on the instrument panel to
switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately,
switch off the engine for about 20 seconds and
then restart the engine. If the warning light (or, on
some versions, a message and a symbol on the
display) remains on constantly, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected,
the steering must be initialised. The warning light
switches on to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the
way from one end to the other or drive in a
straight line for about a hundred metres.
CRUISE CONTROL (green)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off
after a few seconds, if the Cruise Control is
deactivated.
The warning light switches on when the Cruise
Control ring nut is turned to the ON position (see
the “Cruise Control” paragraph in the "Knowing
your car" section). On some versions the display
shows the dedicated message.
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) BEING
CLEANED
(only Diesel versions with DPF) (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position
illuminates the warning light, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.
The warning light (together with a message and a
symbol on the display on some versions) switches
on constantly to notify the driver that the DPF
system needs to eliminate captured pollutants
(particulate) through the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving
conditions require that the driver is notified. To
switch the warning light off, the car must be kept
moving until the regeneration process is
completed.
As an average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
The best conditions to complete the regeneration
process are reached driving the car at about 60
km/h with engine speed over 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not
indicate a fault with the car and it should
therefore not be taken to a workshop. A specific
message will appear on the display when the
warning light comes on (for versions/markets,
where provided).

INDEX

Never use a fast battery-charger to start
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car,
particularly the ignition and fuel supply
control units.
WARNING
This procedure must be performed by
expert personnel because incorrect
actions could cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames and lighted cigarettes away from the
battery and do not cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not active
until the engine is started. A much greater effort
will therefore be required to use the brake pedal or
turn the steering wheel.
REPLACING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the “Fix&Go Automatic
Kit”: see the paragraph “Fix&Go Automatic
Kit” for how to use this device.
As an alternative to the “Fix&Go Automatic Kit”
the car may be equipped with a space-saver
wheel: see the instructions on the following pages
for changing the tyre.
WARNING
The space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets where provided) is specific
to your car, do not use it on other models, or
use the space-saver wheel of other models
on your car. The space-saver wheel must
only be used in case of emergency. It must
only be used for the distance necessary
to reach a service point and the car speed
must not exceed 80 km/h. The space-saver
wheel has an orange sticker that summarises
the main cautions for use and limitations.
Never remove or cover the label. The
following information is provided in four
languages on the label: "Important! For
temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
with a standard tyre as soon as possible.
Never cover this indication." Never apply a
hub cap on a space-saver wheel.

In order to preserve the aesthetic
properties of the paintwork, abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used to clean the car.
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent
scratching or altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the inside surface of the rear
window gently with a cloth in the direction of
the filaments to avoid damaging the heating
device.
Front headlights
Use a soft, damp cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.
petrol) or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front headlights.Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the engine
compartment thoroughly, taking care not to aim
the jet of water directly at the electronic control
units or at the windscreen wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with
the engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP
position. After washing, make sure that the
various protective devices (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or damaged.

CD PLAYERINTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the variants regarding the
operation of the CD player: as far as the operation
of the radio is concerned, refer to the description
in the "Functions and Adjustments" chapter.
SELECTING THE CD PLAYER
To activate the CD player built-into the
equipment, proceed as follows:
❒load a CD with the equipment switched on: the
first track will start to play;
or
❒if a CD has already been loaded, turn on the car
radio and then briefly press the CD button to
select the “CD” operating mode: the last track
listened to will start to play.
It is advisable to use original CDs to ensure
optimum playback. If CD-R/RWs are used, we
recommend using good quality media that are
burnt at the slowest speed possible.LOADING/EJECTING A CD
To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot to
activate the motorised loading system, which will
position it correctly.
The CD can be loaded with radio off and the
ignition key turned to MAR-ON: in this case the
radio will remain off. When the radio is turned on,
the last source listened to before being switched off
will be activated.
When a CD is inserted the display will show the
symbol "CD-IN" and the text "CD Reading". They
will remain displayed for the entire time required
for the radio to read the CD tracks. When this
time has elapsed the radio automatically starts
playing the first track.
Press the
button (EJECT) with the radio on to
activate the motorised ejection of the CD. After
ejection, the last audio source listened to before
playing the CD will be heard.
If the CD is not removed from the radio, it will
automatically be reloaded about 20 seconds later
and the Tuner mode will be tuned into (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the car radio is off.
If the ejected CD is reloaded without having
removed it completely from the slot, the radio will
not switch to the CD source.
