fuel consumption Lancia Ypsilon 2020 Owner handbook (in English)

When the CITY function is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
To deactivate the function press the
button again.
IMPORTANT During parking
manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering,
the steering may become harder: this is
normal and is due to the intervention
of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating, so no
repair is required. When the car is
used again later on, the power steering
will work normally.
ECO FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Press the ECO button fig. 28 for at least
5 seconds to activate the function.When the ECO function is activated,
the car is set for city driving,
characterised by less effort on the
steering wheel (Dualdrive system on)
and reduced fuel consumption.
When this function is activated, the
word ECO on the display will light up on
some versions.
This function stays in the memory, so
when the vehicle is started again,
the system keeps the setting it had
before the engine was stopped. Press
the ECO button again to deactivate
the function and restore the normal
driving setting.
WARNING
22)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
23)Before starting any servicing operation,
stop the engine and remove the key from
the ignition switch to operate the steering
lock, particularly when the wheels do
not touch the ground. If this is not possible
(for example if the key needs to be turned
to MAR or the engine must be running),
remove the main fuse that protects the
electric power steering.

through a specific indication on the
control panel.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI advises
the driver to engage a higher gear,
while when the SHIFT DOWN icon (
SHIFT) is shown, the GSI advises the
driver to engage a lower gear.
The indication on the instrument panel
remains until the driver shifts gear or the
driving conditions return to a situation
where gearshifting is not required to
improve consumption.

(journeys) are monitored in a
reciprocally independent manner.
"Trip A" can be used to display the
values relating to: "Range", "Distance
travelled A", "Average fuel consumption
A", "Instantaneous fuel consumption",
"Average speed A", "Journey time A
(driving time)".
42

“Trip B” may be used to display the
figures relating to: "Travel Distance B",
"Average fuel consumption B",
"Average speed B", "Travel time B
(driving time)".
Both functions can be reset (reset
means start of a new journey).
To reset, hold the TRIP button on the
right steering wheel stalk pressed.
NOTE “Range” and “Current fuel
consumption" parameters cannot be
reset.
WARNING
28)Failure to top up the engine oil could
result in a low level, which could prevent
normal car operation and even cause it to
stop
43

Warning light What it means
INJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, the warning light switches on when the key is turned to MAR (on some versions, with
a dedicated 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 steadily, 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.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed without demanding
excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on may cause damage.
Contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.
Petrol engines only
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged.
In this case, it is necessary to release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the
warning light stops flashing. Continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that
may cause further flashing and contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
31)
WARNING
31)Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible if thewarning light either does not light up when the key is turned to MAR or if while
travelling the warning light switches on or flashes (along with a message and a symbol on the display on some versions). The operation of the
warning light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where
you are driving.
53

Warning light What it means
iTPMS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Tyre pressure low
The warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction reconfigurable display) switches on constantly
to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than the recommended value, in order to guarantee long tyre life
and low fuel consumption, or to indicate a slow loss of pressure.
In this way the iTPMS warns the driver that one or more tyres may be flat and probably punctured. In this
case it is advisable to restore the correct pressure value. Once the normal operating conditions of the
vehicle are restored, carry out the Tyre reset procedure.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction reconfigurable display) flashes for about 75
seconds and then stays on constantly (along with a dedicated message on the display) to indicate that the
system is temporarily deactivated or faulty. The system goes back to normal operation when the operating
conditions allow it. If this is not the case, carry out the Tyre reset procedure after restoring the normal
operating conditions.
If the malfunction warning persists, contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
59

Under special conditions (e.g. car
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the
"Fix&Go Automatic" kit, fitting snow
chains, fitting different tyres on the
axles) the system may give false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated,
the warning light
flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a dedicated message.
This warning is displayed also after the
engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.
WARNING
67)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
68)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not to
be considered a system to replace
maintenance or a safety system.69)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.
70)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
71)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
72)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
some of the most important safety
equipment of the vehicle comprise the
following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
Front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see the "Head restraints"
paragraph in the "Knowing your
vehicle" chapter.
71

IMPORTANT The use of the “Kick
Down” function is recommended only
when overtaking or accelerating quickly,
in order not to increase fuel
consumption.
STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
42)
On some versions, the gearbox can be
managed sequentially using the
steering wheel controls fig. 72.
To use the controls on the steering
wheel, the gear lever must be in the
central position between + and – :
operating the + lever: engage
a higher gear;
operating the – lever: engage a
lower gear.
The engagement of a lower (or higher)
gear is only permitted if the engine
rpm allow it.
WARNING
41)Avoid keeping your hand placed on this
lever in between gear changes or
Auto/Manual mode.
42)Using the paddles incorrectly (paddles
pushed towards the dashboard) could
break them.
STOP/START
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
114) 115)43)
The Stop/Start system automatically
stops the engine each time the vehicle
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off. In this
way, the vehicle efficiency is increased,
by reducing consumption, dangerous
gas emissions and sound pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Stopping the engine
With manual gearbox: with the car
stationary, the engine stops with the
gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal
released.
With Dual FuNction System gearbox:
the engine stops if the vehicle is at
a standstill and the brake pedal is
pressed. This condition can be
maintained even if the brake pedal is
not depressed, if the gear lever is
in position N (Neutral).
NOTE The engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding a speed
of about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine
from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
