overheating Lancia Ypsilon 2021 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.

INFLATION PROCEDURE
141) 142) 143) 144)
Proceed as follows:
Pull the handbrake.Unscrew the
tyre valve cap, take out the filler hose
A fig. 112 and tighten the ring nut B on
the tyre valve;
make sure that the compressor
switch is in position 0 (off), then start
the engine;
insert the plug into the socket
located on the centre tunnel and
operate the compressor putting the
switch in position I (on).
Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in the "Inflation pressure"
paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" section. Check tyre
pressure on the gauge with compressor
off to obtain a more precise reading;
if after five minutes it is still
impossible to reach at least 1.8 bar,
disengage the compressor from the
valve and power socket, then move the
car forwards by approx. ten metres in
order to distribute the sealing fluid
inside the tyre evenly, then repeat the
inflation operation;
if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes
from switching on the compressor,
do not resume driving but contact a
Lancia Dealership;
after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check the tyre pressure again;
pull up the handbrake. For the safety
of the car when it is parked, follow
the indication in the paragraph "When
parked" in the chapter "Starting up and
driving".
if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with the engine running and
the handbrake engaged), resume
driving and drive with care to nearest
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
136)Give the instruction brochure to the
personnel charged with handling the
tyre treated with the quick tyre repair kit.
137)Holes and damage on the tyre side
walls cannot be repaired. Do not use
the quick tyre repair kit if the tyre is
damaged as a result of driving with it
deflated.
138)Repairs are not possible in the case
of damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
the foreign body (screws or nails) from
the tyre.
139)Never operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk
of overheating. Tyres repaired with the
quick tyre repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not suitable for a
definitive repair.
