oil change Lancia Ypsilon 2013 Owner handbook (in English)

Belt buzzer (Buzzer activation for SBR
indication)(for versions/markets, where
provided)
This function can only be displayed after a Lancia
Dealership has deactivated the SBR system (see
"SBR system" in the "Safety" chapter).
Service (Scheduled servicing)
Using this function you can display information
about the mileage or daily intervals for car
servicing. With the Service function it is also
possible to view the interval (in kilometres or
miles) before the next engine oil change is due.
To consult this display, proceed as follows:
❒briefly press the
button, which makes the
display show the service interval in kilometres
(km) or miles (mi) according to the previous
setting (see "Distance units of measurement"
paragraph);
❒briefly press button
to return to the menu
screen or hold it down to return to the standard
screen.NoteThe "Scheduled Servicing Plan" requires the
car to be serviced every 30,000 km (or 18,000
miles). This is automatically displayed, when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, from 2,000 km
(or the equivalent in miles) and reappears every
200 km (or the equivalent in miles). Below 200
km servicing indications are more frequent. The
display will be in kilometres or miles depending
on the measurement unit settings. When the next
scheduled service is approaching, the message
"Service" will appear on the display, followed by
the number of kilometres or miles left, when
the key is turned to MAR. Contact a Lancia
Dealership where the operations of the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan" will be performed and the
message will be reset.

2. Engine oil deteriorated
(only Diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific
message will appear on the display (in versions/
markets, where provided). The warning light may
flash in the following ways, depending on the
version:
❒1 minute every two hours;
❒cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the
warning light off for 5 seconds until the oil
is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start up
the warning light will continue flashing as
described above until the oil is changed. For
(versions/markets where provided), the display
shows a dedicated message together with the
warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be
considered as a fault, it simply informs the
customer that the oil needs to be changed
following normal car use.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil
is accelerated by:
❒mainly town use of the car which makes the
DPF regeneration process more frequent;
❒use of the car for short drives, in which the
engine does not have time to reach its regular
operating temperature;
❒repeated interruption of the regeneration
process, signalled by the DPF warning light
coming on.
WARNING
If the warning light comes on, the
exhausted engine oil should be
changed as soon as possible; never drive
more than 500 km from the first
switching-on of this warning light. Failure to
observe the above may result in severe
damage to the engine and invalidate the
warranty. Remember that when the warning
light comes on, it does not mean that the
level of engine oil is low, so if the light
flashes you do not need to top up the engine
oil.
HOT ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position
illuminates the warning light, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.
