maintenance schedule 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).

Belt buzzer (Buzzer activation for SBR
indication)(for versions/markets, where
provided)
This function can only be displayed after a Lancia
Dealership has deactivated the SBR system (see
"SBR system" in the "Safety" chapter).

Service (Scheduled servicing)
This function allows you to display the
information about km/mileage intervals or, for
versions/markets, where provided, time intervals
for car servicing.
To consult this display, proceed as follows:
❒briefly press the
button: the display shows
when servicing is due in km/mi or days (where
provided) according to the previous setting
(see paragraph “Units of measurement”);
❒press the
button briefly to return to the menu
screen or hold it down to return to the standard
screen.IMPORTANT The “Scheduled Servicing Plan”
includes car maintenance at fixed intervals (refer
to the "Maintenance and care" chapter). This is
displayed automatically, with ignition key at
MAR-ON, 2000 km (or equivalent value in miles)
before servicing or, where provided, 30 days
before servicing. It is also displayed each time the
key is turned to MAR-ON or, for versions/markets,
where provided, every 200 km (or equivalent
value in miles). Below this threshold servicing
indications are more frequent. The display will be
in km or miles according to the unit of
measurement set. When the next scheduled service
is approaching, the word “Service” will appear
on the display, followed by the number of
kilometres/miles or days (where provided) left,
when the key is turned to MAR-ON. Contact
a Lancia Dealership where the operations of the
"Scheduled Servicing Plan" will be performed and
the message will be reset.
When the service interval is reached and for about
1000 km/600 mi or 30 days, a service due
message is displayed.

Electrical devices
Only use electrical devices for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need
a considerable amount of energy, therefore
increasing fuel consumption (by up to 25% in the
urban cycle).
Climate control system
The use of the climate control system leads to
higher fuel consumption. If the temperature
outside permits, try to use ventilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a
standstill or at idle or high speed: under these
conditions the engine warms up much more
slowly, increasing consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to move off immediately,
slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way
the engine will warm up more quickly.

SAVING FUEL
Here are some suggestions which can help you to
save fuel and lower harmful emissions.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once every 4
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the car and its arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.

ECO FUNCTION ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION (0.9 TwinAir 85 HP versions)
ECO function activation/deactivation by pressing
the corresponding button (see the "Controls"
paragraph in the "Knowing your car" section) is
indicated by a message on the display.
ASR SYSTEM
ASR system deactivation
The ASR system can be deactivated by pressing
the button ASR OFF (see the paragraph "ASR
system" in the chapter "Knowing your car") . On
versions equipped with reconfigurable
multifunction display, the system deactivation is
indicated by the displaying of a message and a
symbol; at the same time the LED on the ASR
OFF switches on.SERVICE (SCHEDULED SERVICING)
EXPIRED
When the next scheduled service is approaching
and the key is turned to MAR, the word Service
appears on the reconfigurable multifunction
display, followed by the number of kilometres or
miles left. Contact a Lancia Dealership where
the operations of the "Scheduled Servicing Plan"
will be performed and the message will be reset.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long
life for the car under the best conditions.
For this reason, Lancia has planned a series of
checks and services at fixed distance intervals and,
for versions/markets, where provided, at fixed
time intervals, as described in the Scheduled
Servicing Plan.
Regardless of the above, it is always necessary to
carefully follow the instructions in the Scheduled
Servicing Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
liquids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all Lancia
Dealerships according to fixed time or kilometres/
miles intervals. If, during each operation, in
addition to the ones scheduled, the need arises for
further replacements or repairs, these may be
carried out only with your explicit agreement. If
your car is used frequently for towing, the interval
between one service operation and the next should
be reduced.WARNING
The Scheduled Servicing intervals are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to comply with the schedule
may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Lancia Dealership of any
small operating irregularities without waiting for
the next service.
For versions equipped with specific fuel supply
and/or trim level (e.g. LPG, Natural Power,
automatic transmission), in addition to what is
described in the following Scheduled Servicing Plan,
refer to the relevant additional items in the
dedicated supplements.

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.

IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it
absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car
is mainly used in areas with a high degree
of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than specified
in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact
with painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. If contact accidentally
occurs, immediately wash the affected areas
with water and a neutral detergent, and
then rinse thoroughly with water. Call
a doctor immediately if swallowed.
WARNING
The symbolon the container
indicates a synthetic brake fluid,
distinguishing it from the mineral kind.
Using a mineral-type fluid will damage the
special rubber seals of the braking system
beyond repair.
