belt Lancia Ypsilon 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
The airbag deployment threshold is
higher than that of the pretensioners.
For collisions in the range between the two
thresholds, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace seat belts
but increases their efficiency.
Because front airbags are not deployed for
low-speed crashes, side collisions, rear-end
shunts or rollovers, occupants are protected,
in addition to any side bags, only by their
seat belts, which must therefore always
be fastened.

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.
