sensor Lancia Ypsilon 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is automatically
deactivated when the trailer's electric plug
is inserted in the car's tow hook socket. The
sensors are automatically enabled again when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook
fitted when there is no trailer, it is advisable to go
to a Lancia Dealership to have the system updated
because the tow hook could be detected as an
obstacle by the centre sensors.
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost
attention to any obstacles that could be located
above or below the sensors.
Under certain circumstances close objects located
in front of or behind the car may not be detected
and could therefore cause damage to the car or
be damaged themselves.
The following conditions may influence the
performance of the parking sensor system:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in
the parking assistance system performance
could be due to the presence on the surface of
the sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint
❒The sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical
interference, for example when washing the car,
in rain, (strong wind), hail.❒The signals sent by the sensors can also be
altered by the presence of ultrasonic systems
(e.g. pneumatic brake systems or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle.
❒The performance of the parking assistance
system may also be affected by the position of
the sensors. For example, if the geometry is
altered (as a result of wear of the shock
absorbers, suspension) or the tyres are changed,
the vehicle is too heavily laden, specific tuning
is carried out that lowers the car.
❒The detection of obstacles at the top part of the
car may not be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could cause an impact
with the car in the bottom part.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR VERSIONS
EQUIPPED WITH "Smart Fuel"
WARNING
At the end of the filler do not apply
any object/plug which is not provided
for for the car. The use of non compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, generating
dangerous situations.
WARNING
Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire
risk. Keep your face away from the fuel filler
to prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
IMPORTANT If the filler compartment is washed
with a high pressure jet, keep it at a distance of
at least 20 cm.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for reducing petrol
fuel engine emissions: catalytic converter, oxygen
sensors and evaporation control system
Do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one
or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions: oxidising catalytic
converter, exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR)
and particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral with the exhaust system, that physically
traps particulates present in the exhaust gases
of Diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter is needed to eliminate
almost all particulates in compliance with
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine
control unit records a set of data (e.g. travel time,
type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then
calculate how much particulate has been trapped
by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it
should be regenerated (cleaned) at regular
intervals by burning the carbon particles.

current /future legislation.

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.

The warning light switches on (together with a
message on the display) in the event of fuel cut-off
system intervention/fault.

BATTERY RECHARGING
IMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is
given as information only. You are advised to go
to a Lancia Dealership to have this operation
performed.
Low amperage slow recharging for approximately
24 hours is advised. Charging for a longer time
may damage the battery.
VERSIONS WITHOUT Start&Stop SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the battery
terminals, observing the polarity;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when finished, turn the charger off before
disconnecting the battery;
❒reconnect the negative battery terminal.
VERSIONS WITH Start&Stop SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect the connector A fig. 158 (pressing
the button B) from the sensor C monitoring
the battery conditions, on the negative pole D of
the battery;❒connect the positive cable of the battery charger
to the positive battery terminal E and the
negative cable to sensor terminal D as shown;
❒turn on the battery charger. At the end of the
charging process, switch the battery charger off;
❒after having disconnected the battery charger,
reconnect connector A fig. 158 to the sensor C
as shown.
WARNING
Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your
skin and eyes. The battery should be
charged in a well ventilated place, away
from naked flames or possible sources of
sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first,
otherwise it may explode. If freezing has
occurred, the battery should be checked by
skilled personnel to make sure that the
internal elements are not damaged and that
the body is not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.
