engine oil Lancia Ypsilon 2014 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.

UNFASTENED SEAT BELTS (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on constantly with the
car stationary and the driver's side or passenger
side seat belt (when the passenger is present)
not fastened.
The warning light will flash and a buzzer will
sound if the vehicle is in motion and the front seat
belts are not correctly fastened.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you wish to
permanently deactivate the S.B.R. (Seat Belt
Reminder) system buzzer. The system can be
reactivated using the Setup menu (see the
description in the chapter "Knowing your car").LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the
warning light switches on but should switch off as
soon as the engine is started (with the engine
idling, a brief delay can be expected).
If the warning light (or, on some versions, a
message and a symbol on the display) remains on
constantly or flashing, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
CONTINUOUSLY ON: LOW ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE (red)
ON FLASHING: ENGINE OIL
DETERIORATED
(only Diesel versions with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the
warning light switches on but should switch off as
soon as the engine is started.
1. Insufficient engine oil pressure
The warning light switches on constantly together
(for versions/markets, where provided) with a
message on the display when the system detects
that the engine oil pressure is too low.
WARNING
If the
warning light switches on
when the vehicle is travelling (on
certain versions together with the message
on the display) stop the engine immediately
and contact a Lancia Dealership.

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.

The warning light switches on (on some versions
with a message and a symbol on the display) when
the engine is overheated.

WARNING
The driving speed should always be
suitable to traffic conditions, weather
conditions and the driver should always
comply with the Highway Code. The engine
may be turned off while the DPF light is
on; however, repeated interruption of the
regeneration process may result in
premature exhaustion of engine oil. For this
reason, always wait until the warning light
switches off before stopping the engine as
described above. It is not a good idea to
complete DPF regeneration with the
car stationary.GENERIC FAILURE INDICATION
(amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on in the following
circumstances. In these cases contact a Lancia
Dealership to have the fault fixed as soon as

message on the display) when the speed limit set
in the Setup Menu is exceeded.When the car exceeds this value, on some versions
a message and a symbol are shown in the display
and an acoustic signal is emitted.
Fuel cut-off system intervention/fault
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on (together with a
message on the display) in the event of fuel cut-off
system intervention/fault.
Start&Stop failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and
inflammable vapours may be present, with
the risk of fire.
WARNING
Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned. Remember that
the fan may start up if the engine is hot:
this could injure you. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.Be careful, when topping up, and take
care not to mix up the various types
of fluids: they are all incompatible with
one another and could seriously damage the
car.
