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.

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.

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.

(1) If special equipment is fitted (sunroof, air conditioner, tow hitch etc.) the unladen weight increases, thus reducing the payload as specified in the max-
imum loads allowed.
(2) Loads not to be exceeded: the driver must arrange the goods in the boot and/or load surface so that they comply with these limits.
(3) Including the weight of the roof rack.

FUEL
CONSUMPTION -
CO
2EMISSIONS
The fuel consumption values, in
litres x 100 km, indicated in the fol-
lowing tables, have been determined
according to homologation tests pre-
scribed in the European Directive
specifications. The following proce-
dures are used to define the con-
sumption values:Consumption values are defined by
means of the following procedures:
– an urban cycleconsisting of a
cold start and a simulated drive in
city streets;
– an extra-urban cycleconsisting
in frequent accelerations, in all gears,
simulating normal conditions of use.
Speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h;
– the combined consumptionis
calculated as approximately 37% of
the urban cycle and approximately
63% of the extra-urban cycle. IMPORTANT Road and traffic
conditions, weather, general con-
ditions of the car, driving style, fit-
tings and accessories, use of the
climate control system, load, roof
racks and other situations penal-
ising aerodynamic penetration and
effecting rolling resistance will in-
fluence fuel consumption rates
which can be different from the
values shown in the table (see
“Cheap running that respects the
environment” in “Driving your
car” chapter).
Consumption may be greater during
the first 2000 km due to running in.
