key Lancia Ypsilon 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

GLOW PLUG HEATING/GLOW PLUG
HEATING FAILURE (Diesel versions)
(amber)
GLOW PLUG HEATING
The warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR and switches off as soon as the
glow plugs have reached the preset temperature.
The engine can be started as soon as the warning
light switches off.
IMPORTANT At high ambient temperatures the
warning light may stay on for an extremely short
time.
GLOW PLUG HEATING FAILURE
The warning light flashes (together with a
message and a symbol on the display on some
versions) to indicate a fault in the glow plugs
preheating system. Contact a Lancia Dealership to
have the fault fixed as soon as possible.
WATER IN DIESEL FUEL FILTER
(Diesel versions) (amber)
The warning light remains on constantly when
driving (together with a message and a symbol on
the display on some versions), to indicate the
presence of water in the diesel fuel filter.
The presence of water in the supply
circuit may cause severe damage to the
injection system and irregular engine
operation. If the
warning light switches on,
contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible for bleeding. If this problem
is indicated immediately after refuelling,
water may have entered the fuel tank. In this
case, stop the engine immediately and contact
a Lancia Dealership.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE (red)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off
after a few seconds.
If the warning light (or, on some versions, a
message and a symbol on the display) remains on,
you may not have steering assistance and the
effort required to operate the steering wheel could
be notably increased; steering is, however,
possible. In this case, contact a Lancia Dealership.

IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors
independent of the electric power steering could
cause the warning light on the instrument panel to
switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately,
switch off the engine for about 20 seconds and
then restart the engine. If the warning light (or, on
some versions, a message and a symbol on the
display) remains on constantly, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected,
the steering must be initialised. The warning light
switches on to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the
way from one end to the other or drive in a
straight line for about a hundred metres.
CRUISE CONTROL (green)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off
after a few seconds, if the Cruise Control is
deactivated.
The warning light switches on when the Cruise
Control ring nut is turned to the ON position (see
the “Cruise Control” paragraph in the "Knowing
your car" section). On some versions the display
shows the dedicated message.
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) BEING
CLEANED
(only Diesel versions with DPF) (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position
illuminates the warning light, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.
The warning light (together with a message and a
symbol on the display on some versions) switches
on constantly to notify the driver that the DPF
system needs to eliminate captured pollutants
(particulate) through the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving
conditions require that the driver is notified. To
switch the warning light off, the car must be kept
moving until the regeneration process is
completed.
As an average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
The best conditions to complete the regeneration
process are reached driving the car at about 60
km/h with engine speed over 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not
indicate a fault with the car and it should
therefore not be taken to a workshop. A specific
message will appear on the display when the
warning light comes on (for versions/markets,
where provided).
