OBD port Lancia Ypsilon 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

VERY IMPORTANT
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded
petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than
95 in compliance with the European Standard
EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the
above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to come on and the
irregular operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel
conforming to the European specification
EN590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged;
place the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress
the clutch pedal, without pressing the
accelerator, then turn the ignition key to the
MAR position and wait for the
andwarning lights to switch off (diesel
versions); turn the ignition key to the AVV
position and release it as soon as the engine
starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park
the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles
or other flammable material: fire hazard.RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the components
related to emissions to ensure increased respect
for the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of
gradually draining the battery), contact a
Lancia Dealership. They can calculate the
overall electrical requirement and check that
the car's electric system can support the
required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for
ensuring that it maintains its performance
and its safety features, its environmental
friendliness and low running costs for a long
time to come.
THE OWNER MANUAL CONTAINS…
... important information, advice and warnings
for correct use, driving safety and maintenance
of your car over time. Special attention must
be paid to the symbols provided
(safety
of persons)(environmental protection)(car integrity).

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) carries out a continuous diagnosis of
the components of the car related to emissions. It
also alerts the driver about component
deterioration by switching on the warning light on
the instrument panel and the displaying of a
relevant message (for versions/markets, where
provided) (see the chapter “Warning lights and
messages”).
The aim of the EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions;
❒indicate the need to replace damaged
components.
The system also has a diagnosis connector that
can be interfaced to suitable instruments, to read
the error codes stored in the control unit together
with a series of specific parameters for engine
operation and diagnosis.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to
check the system completely, Lancia Dealerships
run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which
may also call for a long journey.
DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING
This only operates with the key turned to MAR
and the engine started. The steering allows the
force required at the steering wheel to be adjusted
to suit driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key
quickly, full power steering functionality can be
achieved after a few seconds.
CITY FUNCTION ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
Press button CITY fig. 75 to activate/deactivate
the function. The activation of the function is
signalled by the word CITY on the display (in
some versions it is signalled by the word CITY
appearing on the instrument panel).

INDEX

If the warning light comes on when driving,
proceed as follows:
❒when driving normally:stop the car, switch
off the engine and check that the water level
in the reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it
is, wait for a few minutes for the engine to
cool down then slowly and carefully open the
cap, top up with coolant and check that the
level is between the MIN and MAX marks. Also
check visually for any fluid leaks. Go to a
Lancia Dealership if the warning light should
switch on when the engine is started again;
❒if the vehicle is used under demanding
conditions(e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully
loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on,
stop the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the
engine running and slightly accelerated to
further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop
the engine. Check the correct liquid level as
described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is
advisable to keep the engine on and slightly
accelerated for a few minutes before switching it
off.FUEL RESERVE – LIMITED
RANGE (amber)
This warning light comes on when about 5 to 7
litres of fuel are left in the tank. When the
remaining range is approx. 50 km (or equivalent
value in miles), on some versions, the display
will show a warning message.
IMPORTANT The warning light will flash to
indicate a system failure. Go to a Lancia
Dealership to have the system checked.
EOBD/INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE (amber)
In normal conditions, the warning light switches
on when the key is turned to MAR (on some
versions, with a message on the display), but
should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or switches on
whilst driving, the injection system is not working
properly; in particular, if the warning light
switches on constantly, this indicates a
malfunction in the supply/ignition system that
could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a possible
loss of performance, poor driveability and high
fuel consumption.
