G
The symbol indicating the presence
of a front passenger airbag is printed
on the under-side of the sun visor
(visible when the visor is pushed up)
(fig. 63).
SUN VISORS (fig. 62)
These are positioned to the sides of
the driving mirror. They can swing up
or down or be pivoted sideways.
On the back of the driver’s sun vi-
sor, there is a document pocket with
a vanity mirror and protective flap.
The inside of the passenger’s sun vi-
sor is only fitted with a vanity mirror.The cigar lighter gets very
hot. Be careful how you
handle it and make sure it
is not used by children: danger of
fire and/or burns.Do not use the ashtray as
a waste-paper basket: the
paper could set fire if it
comes into contact with a smoul-
dering cigarette stub.

Incorrect use of the elec-
tric windows could be
dangerous. Before and
when pressing the switches, always
make sure that passengers are not
liable to injury either directly by
the movement of the windows or
by personal effects being dragged
along or knocked by the windows.
Always remove the ignition key
when getting out of the car to make
sure that the electric windows can-
not be accidentally operated and
constitute a hazard for passengers
remaining in the car.
The door handle on the passenger
side has a button to control that par-
ticular window. IMPORTANTFor versions with
door locking/unlocking remote con-
trol, see the “Lancia CODE system -
Door lock/unlock remote control”
paragraph at the beginning of this
chapter.
IMPORTANTIf one of the doors is
not shut properly or there is a failure
in the system, the central locking fea-
ture will not work and, after some at-
tempts, the device stops working for
around two minutes. In these two min-
utes the doors can be locked or un-
locked manually without the electrical
system coming into play. After the two
minutes, the control unit is ready to
receive commands once more.
If the reason for the malfunction has
been removed, the device will start to
work properly again. If not, it will cut
out once more.ELECTRIC WINDOWS
The electric windows are controlled
by two buttons situated in the inside
handle of the driver’s door (fig. 71).
They work when the ignition key is at
MAR:
A- left window;
B- right window.
Press the switch to open the window,
and pull it up to close it: this means
the window cannot be closed acci-
dentally.
On the LX and 1.2
16VM M Nredver-
sions, if the driver’s window switch is
pressed for about one second, the win-
dow will work automatically: it will
stop when it is fully opened or closed
or when the switch is pressed again.

BOOT
OPENING/CLOSING
THE TAILGATE
To open the boot from the outside,
unlock it with the ignition key A
(fig. 72).
To open it from inside the car, pull
leverA (fig. 73)at the side of the dri-
ver’s seat.
To lift the tailgate, use the grip lo-
cated between the two number plate
lights.When the tailgate is closed, it will
lock automatically, and can only be
reopened by using the key or pulling
leverA (fig. 73)inside the car.
IMPORTANTNever leave the keys
in the boot.
Use the handle situated in the inte-
rior trim of the tailgate A (fig. 74)to
lower it without getting your hands
dirty.
To close the tailgate, lower it and
press in the centre until you hear it
lock.

Do not work boot release
lever when the car is in
motion.
The addition of objects to
the rear parcel shelf or
tailgate (loudspeakers,
spoiler, etc.) may prevent the gas-
filled struts at the sides of the tail-
gate working properly. Items
arranged on the rear window shelf
could be thrown forwards and in-
jure passengers should you brake
sharply.
fig. 74
P4C00037
When using the boot,
make sure the load you are
carrying does not exceed
the permitted weight (see the
“Technical specifications” sec-
tion). Also ensure the items in the
boot are arranged properly to pre-
vent them being thrown forward
and injurying passengers should
you brake sharply.

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.

ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND CELL PHONES
Cell phones and other ra-
dio transmitters (e.g. CB radios) can-
not be used inside the car, unless you
use a separate aerial mounted outside

– Clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds avail-
able on the market.
– Sprinkle talcum powder on the
rubber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the
glass.
– Slightly open the windows.
– Cover the car with a cloth or per-

While the car is being
towed with the engine off,
remember that the brake
pedal and steering will require
more effort as you no longer have
the benefit of the brake booster
and power steering. Do not use
flexible cables to tow. Avoid jerk-
ing. Whilst towing, ensure that the
coupling to the car does not dam-
age the surrounding components.Do not extract the igni-
tion key during towing;
leave it at MAR, to prevent
the steering lock engaging and,
provided the electrical system is
not damaged, keep the brake lights
and direction indicators working.
When the ignition key is re-
moved, the steering lock will cut in
thus preventing the steering wheel
from being turned.IF AN ACCIDENT
OCCURS
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved,
stop at least ten metres away from the
accident.
– If you are on a motorway do not
obstruct the emergency lane with your
car.
– Turn off the engine and turn on
the hazard lights.
– At night, illuminate the scene of
the accident with your headlights.
– Act carefully, you must not risk
being run over.
– Mark the accident by putting the
red triangle at the regulatory distance
from the car where it can be clearly
seen.
– If the doors are jammed, do not try
to leave the car by breaking the glass
of the windscreen as the glass is strat-
ified. Side windows and the rear win-
dow can be broken more easily.

CAR MAINTENANCE
The Lancia Y is brand new throughout, even in
its servicing schedule. Its design and manufactur-
ing process have made the traditional check at
1,500 kilometres unnecessary, which means its
first service schedule coupon is to be used at
20,000 kilometres. Your car, however, still re-
quires a certain amount of care and attention e.g.
the various fluid/liquid levels and tyre pressure
must be systematically checked and topped up if
necessary.
You should nonetheless bear in mind that proper
car maintenance is certainly the best way to keep
your car in tip-top condition for years to come and
safeguard its safety features, its environmentally-
friendly nature and its cheap running costs.
Also remember that the following servicing reg-
ulations marked with the symbol ∑are essential
