You are recommended to read this chapter sit-
ting comfortably in your new Lancia Y. In this
way you will be able to identify the parts de-
scribed immediate and see for yourself what you
have just read.
In short, you will increase your knowledge of your
Lancia Y with its controls and other devices. Later,
when you start the engine and join the traffic you
will make a host of other pleasant discoveries.

Do not open the roof if
there is snow or ice on it as
you risk damaging it.
SUNROOF
The sunroof is electrically operated.
It will only work if the ignition key
is at MAR.
ButtonA (fig. 65)on the ceiling light
unit controls the opening, closing,
raising and lowering of the roof.
When you release the button, the
roof locks in the position it is in at
that moment.
£Press once to open in the spoiler
position.
Press again to open completely.
¢Press to close.

A sliding sunshade, fitted under the
sunroof, will lessen the effect of the
sun’s rays or the amount of air enter-
ing the car (fig. 66).
If there is an electrical fault in the
sunroof, open the glove compartment.

DOORS
SIDE DOORS CENTRAL
LOCKING/UNLOCKING
Unlocking from the outside
Insert the key into one of the two
doors and turn it to position 2
(fig. 69), then lift the door handle. Only open or close the
sunroof when the car is
stationary.
Incorrect use of the sun-
roof could be dangerous.
Before and when pressing
the switch, always make sure that
passengers are not liable to injury
either directly by the movement of
the sunroof or by personal effects
being dragged along or knocked
by the roof.
Always remove the igni-
tion key when getting out
of the car to make sure
that the sunroof cannot be acci-
dentally operated and constitute a
hazard for passengers remaining
in the car.

Before opening a door,
make sure that the condi-
tions are safe to carry out
the manoeuvre.
Locking from the outside
Turn the key to position 1 (fig. 69).
Opening/locking the doors
from the inside
With the doors closed, press (to
lock) or lift (to unlock) the door open-
ing lever A (fig. 70)on either the dri-
ver’s or the passenger’s side.
A green sector B(covered when the
lock is off) will appear when the door
is locked (lever Adown). The instru-
ment panel warning light
´may light
up if the doors are not closed perfectly
in some versions.

SKI AND
ROOF RACKS
ANCHORAGE HOOKS
POSITIONING
The hooks can be reached by slightly
moving the door seal in the points in-
dicated in (fig. 83).
Fix the ski/roof rack attachments to
the front hook-up pins A.
The rear part of the ski/roof rack
should be attached to the edge of the
roof where the symbol
Vis to be
found on the windows.At this point, we should like to re-
mind you that the Lineaccessori LAN-
CIA range includes a ski/roof rack
that has been specifically designed for
the Lancia Y.
fig. 83
P4C00104
After travelling a few
miles, check the anchorage
bolts of the attachments
are still fully tightened.
Never load the rack with
more than the weight al-
lowed (see the “Technical
specifications” section).
Take care not to knock
the objects on the roof
rack when opening the
boot tailgate.
HEADLIGHTS
CORRECT POSITIONING
OF THE HEADLIGHT BEAMS
The correct positioning of the head-
light beams is very important for the
comfort and safety, not only of the
person driving the car, but also all
other road users.
This is also covered by a specific law.
To ensure you and other drivers
have the best visibility conditions
when travelling with the headlights
on, the headlights must be set pro-
perly.
Have the headlight position checked
at a LANCIA Dealershipand ad-
justed if necessary.

If the car has been ordered to in-
clude provision for the fitting of cel-
lular phones, it will have:

system and cellular phone) located in
the right-hand door;
– one dual purpose aerial (sound
system and cellular phone) A (fig. 94)
located on the front part of the roof;
– cables to connect the dual purpose
aerialA (fig. 95)and a ten pin con-
nectorBand cables to supply power
and to connect to the dual purpose
speaker located on the front part of
the central tunnel. To access the ca-
bles, remove the screws and flap C.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
AND POLLUTION
Some suggestions which may help
you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of
toxic emissions released into the at-
mosphere are given below.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
The overall state of the car is an im-
portant factor which has a marked in-
fluence over fuel consumption and
driving comfort and on the life span
of your car. For this reason care
should be taken to maintain your ve-
hicle by carrying out the necessary
checks and regulations in accordance
with the specifications given in the
Servize Schedule (see spark plugs,
idle, air filters, timing sections).Tyres
Tyres should be checked at least
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low fuel consumption increases as the
resistance to the rolling movement of
the tyre is greater. In this state, tyre
wear is increased and car handling
suffers which will affect safety.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the
car (especially when driving in town)
and its trim greatly affects consump-
tion and stability.
Roof/ski racks
Remove roof or ski racks from the
roof of the car as soon as they are no
longer needed. These accessories re-
duce the aerodynamic penetration of
the car and will increase consump-
tion. When transporting particularly
large objects, use a trailer where pos-
sible.Electrical devices
Use the electrical devices for the nec-
essary time only. The heated rear win-
dow, supplementary lights, wind-
screen wipers, heating system blower
require large amounts of energy and,
increasing the request for power also
increases fuel consumption (up to
+25% when driving in built-up areas).
Air conditioner
The air conditioner is an additional
load which greatly affects the engine
leading to higher consumption (on av-
erage up to +20%). When the tem-
perature outside the car permits it,
use the air vents where possible.
Spoilers
The use of aerodynamic optional ex-
tras which are not certified for specific
use on the car, may reduce the aero-
dynamic penetration of the car and
increase consumption.
