Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Lancia Ypsilon.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your car and use it in the best possible way.
Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best performance
from the technical features of your Lancia Ypsilon.
You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above all
with those concerning brakes, steering and transmission; at the same time, you can understand the car behaviour on different road
surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and
maintenance of your Lancia Ypsilon over time.
After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the car, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on board
the car should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Lancia offers to its customers, the Warranty
Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at
Lancia.

STARTING THE
ENGINE
107) 108)34) 35) 36) 37)
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors,
the door mirrors and fasten the seat
belt correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake and put the
gear lever in neutral.On 0.9 TwinAir
versionsengage the handbrake and
place the gear lever in neutral or fully
press the clutch pedal if a gear other
than neutral is engaged;
for all versions (except 0.9
TwinAir)fully depress the clutch pedal
without touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts.
DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake and put the
gear lever in neutral;
turn the ignition key to MAR: the
warning lights
andon the
instrument panel will turn on;
wait for the warning lightsand
to switch off;
fully depress the clutch pedal
without touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to the AVV
position as soon as the warning light
turns off. Waiting too long will waste
the heating work carried out by the
plugs. Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
IMPORTANT With cold engine, the
accelerator must be entirely released
when turning the ignition key to position
AVV. If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
to STOP before repeating the starting
procedure. If, when the ignition key is at
MAR, the instrument panel warning
light
remains lit, turn the key to
STOP and then back to MAR. If the
warning light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still
cannot start the engine.VERSIONS WITH DUAL
FUNCTION SYSTEM
TRANSMISSION
109)
The system allows the engine to be
started both with a gear engaged and
with the transmission in neutral (N).
However, the brake pedal must always
be pressed first if neutral is not
engaged. It is therefore advisable to
position the gear lever at N before
starting the engine.
LPG AND NATURAL
POWER VERSIONS
38)
The engine always starts up on petrol
independently of the previously
selected mode.
SWITCHING OFF THE
ENGINE
39)
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the
engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a demanding drive,
before turning the engine off you should
allow it to idle to allow the temperature
in the engine compartment to
decrease.

STARTING AND DRIVING

DUAL FUNCTION
SYSTEM GEARBOX
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car may be equipped with an
electronically controlled manual
transmission known as "Dual FuNction
System" which allows two operating
logics: MANUAL and AUTO.
GEAR LEVER
41)
The lever fig. 71 is "multistable" floating
type, in other words it has three stable
and three unstable positions.
The three stable positions correspond
to neutral (N), reverse (R) and the
central position located between the
unstable positions (+) and (-).The unstable positions, in other words
those that are abandoned as soon
as the lever is released, are the position
which requests a higher gear (+), the
position which requests a lower gear (–)
and the automatic/manual operating
mode request position (A/M).
IMPORTANT With the engine started,
any error between the lever position
and the gear actually engaged is
signalled by a buzzer until consistency
is restored.
MANUAL MODE
Press the brake pedal and start the
engine;
if AUTO appears on the display,
move the gear lever fig. 71 to A/M to
select MANUAL mode;
push the gear lever towards (+) to
engage first gear (if starting from N
or R, simply place the lever in the
middle position) or R to engage reverse;
release the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal;
in driving conditions, push the gear
lever towards (+) to engage the next
gear up or towards (–) to engage the
next gear down.AUTOMATIC MODE
Press the brake pedal and start the
engine;
if AUTO is not on the display, move
the shift lever fig. 71 to A/M to select
AUTOMATIC mode;
push the gear lever towards (+) to
engage 1stgear (if starting from N or R,
simply place the lever in the middle
position) or R to engage reverse;
release the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal: the gear most
suited to the vehicle speed will be
engaged.
OPERATION (AUTO-ECO)
The ECO function, which optimises the
gearbox, can be activated only with
automatic mode on. The ECO function
is activated by pressing the ECO button
on the instrument panel.
“Kick Down” FUNCTION
If necessary (e.g. when overtaking), the
system downshifts one or more gears
when the accelerator pedal is
depressed beyond the point where it
becomes stiff (and if the rpm allow it) in
order to provide suitable power and
torque for the acceleration requested
by the driver.
