2003 Lancia Ypsilon Owner handbook (in English)

Detergents pollute water.
The car must therefore be
washed in an area
equipped for the collection and
purification of the liquids used
while washing.
IMPORTANTThe car should be
washed while the engine is cold and
with the ignition key at STOP. After
washing the car, make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber boots
and various guards) have not been re-
moved or damaged.

Windows
Use specific window cleaners to
clean the windows. Use very clean
cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging its transparency.
IMPORTANTTo prevent damage
to the electric heater elements, wipe
the inside of the heated rear window
gently in the same direction as the el-
ements.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment. Be careful not to direct the jet
of water on the electronic control
units. Have this done at a garage.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which could cause the steel to rust.
CLEANING THE SEATS
AND FABRIC UPHOLSTERY
– Remove the dust with a soft brush
or a vacuum cleaner.
– Rub the seats with a sponge moist-
ened in a solution of water and neu-
tral detergent.

PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE
THE CAR
Use special products designed not to
alter the appearance of the compo-
nents.
IMPORTANTDo not use alcohol or
petrol for cleaning the glass of the in-
strument panel.CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
AND PARTS
– Remove the dry dirt with a buck-
skin or very slightly moist cloth with-
out exerting too much pressure.
– Remove liquid or grease stains
with a dry absorbent cloth without
rubbing. Then wipe with a buckskin
or soft cloth moistened with water and
neutral soap.
If the stain does not come out, use a
special cleaning compound being par-
ticularly careful to follow the instruc-
tions for use.
IMPORTANTNever use alcohol or
alcohol-base products.Do not keep aerosol cans
in the car. There is the risk
they might explode. Aerosol
cans must never be exposed to a
temperature above 50°C; when the
weather starts to get hot the tem-
perature inside the car might go
well beyond that figure.
Never use flammable
products (petroleum ether
or petrol) to clean the in-
side of the car. Electrostatic
charges generated by rubbing
while cleaning could cause fires.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Motor and engineering enthusiasts as well as
those “in the trade” will probably start reading
from this point in the manual. This, in fact, is
where a section jam-packed with facts, figures,
formulae, measurements and tables begins. In a
sense, it is the Lancia Y’s identity card.
A document that introduces the car and explains
in technical jargon all the features that go together
to make it a model designed to give you superla-
tive driving satisfaction.VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION DATA ............... 145
