stop start Lancia Ypsilon 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

The frequency of the acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between the car and
the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases;
❒is constant if the distance is unchanged.
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors,
only the nearest one is considered.
FAULT INDICATION
Any parking sensor faults will be indicated when
reverse is engaged by the
warning light on
the instrument panel together with the message in
the multifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided) (see “Warning lights and
messages” section).OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Sensor operation is deactivated automatically
when the trailer's electric cable plug is fitted into
the car's tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically reactivated when
the trailer's cable plug is removed.
For correct operation, sensors must
always be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
sensors must be washed using clean water,
with the addition of car shampoo if necessary.
When using special washing equipment such
as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean
the sensors very quickly keeping the jet more
than 10 cm away.

IMPORTANT If the "Lane Change" function is
activated (see paragraph "Exterior lights" in this
chapter), the search for the parking space always
takes place on the passenger side.
IMPORTANT If the parking sensors are activated
during the search for a parking space (see
paragraph "Front and rear parking sensors" in
this chapter), the system is deactivated.
WARNING
The search for the parking space and
the parking manoeuvres must be
performed in compliance with the current
regulations of the Highway Code.
Identifying a parking space
If the system identifies a suitable parking space
between two stationary vehicles or between other
obstacles (e.g. objects with an extensive side
surface such as vehicles, boxes, etc.) it will signal
that it has found a parking space that can be
entered fig. 83.
If the position reached is already suitable at the
beginning of the manoeuvre, the system will
advise the driver to engage reverse gear, otherwise
it will request further forward motion.At the request to engage reverse gear the driver
should stop the car and engage reverse in order to
confirm the wish to start the manoeuvre. If the
driver continues driving, after about 10 metres the
system will no longer consider the parking space
identified and will start the search for new
suitable space.
Manoeuvre
The driver controls the movements of the car
using accelerator pedal, brake and clutch (only on
versions with manual gearbox) whilst the system
automatically manages the steering system to
enter the parking space identified in the best
possible way.
During the manoeuvre it will be possible to take
advantage of the information coming from the
parking sensors (when reversing it is advisable to
reach the area where the rear sensors provide a
continuous tone signal), but it is always advisable
to keep an eye on the surrounding area.

The car can be stopped during the manoeuvre
and, whilst remaining stationary, reverse gear can
temporarily be released (for example, to allow a
pedestrian to pass through the area of the
manoeuvre).
The speed should be less than about 7 km/h
during the manoeuvre, otherwise the parking
manoeuvre will be interrupted.
If the driver carries out a voluntary or involuntary
action on the steering during the parking
manoeuvre (touching it or preventing its
movement), the manoeuvre will be interrupted.
If the road surface is very uneven or there are
obstacles under the wheels affecting the movement
of the car, preventing it from continuing along
the correct trajectory, the manoeuvre may be
interrupted.End of manoeuvre
If the size of parking space permits, the parking
manoeuvre may be performed in one manoeuvre.
When the reverse gear is disengaged the wheels
will be realigned and the manoeuvre will be
considered completed (the system will
consequently be deactivated).
If the size of the parking space is smaller, it may
take several manoeuvres: the driver will be
advised to complete the parking manoeuvre
manually via a dedicated message in the
instrument panel display.
WARNING
If you wish to stop the steering wheel
with your hands during a manoeuvre,
it is advisable to handle it firmly on the
outer rim. Do not try and keep your hands
on the inside or hold the spokes.

❒If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the
pavement, the Magic Parking system may cause
the car to mount the pavement.
❒Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not
be carried out.
❒Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if
there are persons and/or animals in the parking
area, moving cars, etc.) and intervene
immediately if necessary.
❒During parking manoeuvres, pay attention to
cars approaching from the opposite direction.
Always follow the Highway Code.
IMPORTANT Correct system operation is not
guaranteed if snow chains or emergency wheels
are fitted.
IMPORTANT The correct positioning of the car
inside the parking space detected by the system
depends on various factors, in particular the
circumference of the wheels. For example,
if wheels with a 14" diameter are fitted, the
position of the car inside the parking area could
be slightly different.MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY
Search in progress:the Magic Parking system is
searching for a suitable parking space.
Parking found:the Magic Parking system has
found a suitable parking space.
Drive forward:the Magic Parking system
requests the driver to proceed slowly to bring the
car to the correct position before starting the
semi-automatic manoeuvre or, during the
semi-automatic manoeuvre, the system requests
the driver to engage the forward gear to continue
the manoeuvre.
Engaging reverse:a suitable parking place has
been found and the position is correct for starting
the parking manoeuvre. Stop and engage reverse.
Disengage reverse:when the Magic Parking
activation button is pressed, reverse gear must be
released for the system to be switched on.
Magic Parking: steering wheel being usedThe
manoeuvre is about to begin, the driver is
requested to release the steering wheel.

When reverse gear is released, the front and rear
sensors remain activated until a speed of around
15 km/h is exceeded to allow the parking
manoeuvre to be completed.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing the PARK
button again or when a speed of 15 km/h is
exceeded: the LED in the button is off when the
system is not active.
When the sensors are activated, the system starts
to produce acoustic signals from the front or
rear buzzers as soon as an obstacle is detected
with the frequency increasing as the obstacle gets
closer. When the obstacle is less than about 30
cm away, the sound becomes continuous.
Depending on the position of the obstacle (front or
rear) the sound is produced by the corresponding
buzzers (front or rear). The obstacle closest to
the car is signalled.
The acoustic signal stops immediately if the
distance of the obstacle increases. The sound cycle
remains constant if the distance measured by the
centre sensors remains unchanged, while if this
situation occurs for the side sensors, the signal is
interrupted after about 3 seconds (for example, to
prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres
alongside walls).WARNING
Parking manoeuvres are always the
driver’s responsibility. When making
these manoeuvres, always make sure that no
people (especially children) or animals are
present in your manoeuvring space. The
parking sensors serve to assist the driver.
The driver must never allow his or her
attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those executed
at low speeds.

WARNING BUZZER
The information concerning the presence and
distance of an obstacle from the car is transmitted
by means of acoustic signals from buzzers
installed in the passenger compartment:
❒in the versions with 4 rear sensors, a buzzer in
the front dashboard area warns of the presence
of rear obstacles;
❒in the versions with 10 sensors, a front buzzer
warns of the presence of obstacles at the front
and a buzzer located at the rear warns of the
presence of obstacles at the rear.
The acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between the car and
the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases;
❒remains constant if the distance remains
unchanged; if this situation concerns the side
sensors, the buzzer will stop after about 3
seconds to avoid, for example, warning
indications in the event of manoeuvres along
walls.The sensor must be free of mud, dirt,
snow or ice in order for the system
to work. Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
sensors should be washed using clean water
with the addition of car shampoo if necessary.
When using special washing equipment such
as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean
the sensors very quickly keeping the jet more
than 10 cm away.
Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the
area of the sensors carried out by a
Lancia Dealership. Incorrect paint
application could affect the operation of the
parking sensors.

REFUELLING THE CAR
Versions equipped with "Smart Fuel" system are
provided with an inhibiter which prevents
refuelling with incorrect fuel.
Accidental refuelling with non compliant fuels (for
example petrol in Diesel engines) can only occur
in the case of versions equipped with fuel tank
cap. Before refuelling, make sure that the fuel type
is correct.
Stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number
(R.O.N.) no lower than 95. In order to prevent
damage to the catalytic converter never introduce
even the smallest amount of leaded petrol, even
in the event of an emergency.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter
leads to harmful exhaust emissions, thus
contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in
small amounts or in an emergency, as this would
damage the catalytic converter beyond repair.DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots
with consequent defective operation of the fuel
supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel fuel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
fuel whose specifications are not suitable for the
current temperature, it is advisable to mix
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the container with the fuel.
Pour the additive into the tank before the diesel
fuel.

Passenger
A similar situation applies to the front passenger,
with the difference that the warning light turns
green and the indication is also interrupted when
the passenger leaves the car.
It both front seat belts are unfastened while the
car is travelling a few seconds apart, the acoustic
indication will refer to the most recent event
and the two warning lights will proceed with the
visual indication independently.
Rear seats (warning lights no. 2 and no. 3 -
4-seater versions or warning lights no. 2, no. 3
and no. 4 - 5-seater versions)
For rear seats, the reminder cycle occurs only
when any seat belt is unfastened (red flashing
warning light). In this condition, the warning light
referred to the seat belt which has been
unfastened will become red and blink for
approximately 30 seconds. An acoustic signal is
also issued.
The visual indication (red flashing) will start and
stop independently for each warning light if
several seat belts are unfastened. The warning
light will become green when the relevant seat belt
is fastened again.
The rear seat warning lights will switch off,
regardless of the state of the belt (red or green)
approximately 30 seconds after the last signal.IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, if all the front and rear belts are already
fastened the warning lights will remain lit with a
constant green light for 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the "belts fastened" warning lights will
be lit with a constant green light while those for
the belts unfastened will be lit with a constant red
light. If the last belt is also fastened, the the
warning lights will remain lit with a steady green
light for about 30 seconds then they will switch
off.
