light Lancia Ypsilon 2021 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 specification
EN228. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage fundamental components of the supply system.
Diesel engines: refuel only with Diesel fuel motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
LPG engines: refuel only with LPG for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN589. The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the car" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged and place the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the clutch pedal, without pressing the accelerator,
then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for thewarning light to switch off (and thewarning light for Diesel versions); turn the
ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
Versions with Dual FuNction System gearbox: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Parking) or N
(Neutral), fully depress the brake pedal, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine is started.
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 vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, 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 vehicle'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.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

THE LANCIA CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted thefts of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
Each key contains an electronic device
which modulates the signal emitted
during ignition by an antenna built into
the ignition device. The signal is the
"password", different every time the
vehicle is started, through which the
control unit recognises the key and
enables starting.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR, the Lancia
CODE system control unit sends an
acknowledgement code to the
Powertrain Control Module to
deactivate the immobiliser. The code is
sent only if the control unit of the Lancia
CODE system has acknowledged the
code received from the key.Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Lancia CODE system
deactivates the functions of the
management engine control unit. If,
during starting, the code is not correctly
recognised, the
warning light
switches on in the instrument panel. In
this case, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR-ON; if it is still locked, try
again with the other keys that come
with the car. Contact a Lancia
Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.
If the
warning light switches on, this
means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (for example due to
a voltage drop). If the problem persists,
contact a Lancia Dealership.
DOORS
LOCKING/UNLOCKING
DOORS FROM THE
INSIDE
To lock the doors, press the
fig. 4
button. The button has an LED that
indicates whether the doors are locked
or unlocked:
LED on: doors locked.
LED off: doors unlocked.
Once the doors have been locked via
the remote control or the key pawl,
it will no longer be possible to unlock
them by pressing the
button.
In the absence of electrical power
supply (blown fuse, battery
disconnected, etc.) it is still possible to
lock the doors manually.

IMPORTANT When driving, the mirrors
must always be open.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS
The left stalk fig. 17 controls the
operation of the daytime running lights,
side lights, dipped beam headlights,
parking lights, main beam headlights,
direction indicators, and "Follow me
home" device.
The ignition key has to be at MAR-ON
for the exterior lights to switch on.
The instrument panel and the various
dashboard controls will come on with
the external lights.AUTOMATIC LIGHT
CONTROL (AUTOLIGHT)
(Dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This infrared LED sensor, combined
with the rain sensor and located on the
windscreen, detects the variations in
outside brightness depending on the
light sensitivity set with the Setup
Menu: the greater the sensitivity, the
less external light is required to activate
the exterior lights.
Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring
nut A fig. 17 is turned to
. In this
way the side lights and dipped beam
headlights are activated automatically
according to the external light level.
When the lights are turned on by the
sensor, the fog lights (for versions/
markets, where provided) and the rear
fog lights may be turned on. When
the lights are automatically switched off,
the front and rear fog lights (if
activated) are also switched off. The
next time the lights are switched on
automatically, the fog lights must be
reactivated manually (if required).

flash the headlights but the main beam
headlights cannot be switched on. To
activate these lights, turn the ring nut A
to
and activate the fixed dipped
beam headlights.
When the lights have been activated
automatically and are then switched off
by the sensor, the dipped beam
headlights are switched off first,
followed by the side lights a few
seconds later.
If the sensor is activated but is
malfunctioning, the side lights and
dipped beam headlights are switched
on irrespective of the outside light
level and the sensor failure is indicated
on the display. It is also possible to
deactivate the sensor and switch on the
side lights and dipped beam headlights.
IMPORTANT The sensor cannot detect
the presence of fog. These lights must
therefore be switched on manually in
these circumstances.DAYTIME RUNNING
