2011 Lancia Ypsilon brake light

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the ESC system
and facilitates starting on slopes.
It is activated automatically in the following
instances:
❒uphill: car stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, brake pressed
and gearbox in neutral or gear (other than
reverse) engaged;
❒downhill: car stationary on a road with a
gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake
pressed and reverse gear engaged.
When setting off, the ESC system control unit
maintains braking pressure on the wheels until the
torque required for starting is reach or, in any
case, for a maximum of 2 seconds so that the right
foot can be moved easily from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
When 2 seconds have elapsed, without any
departure having taken place, the system is
automatically deactivated, gradually releasing the
braking pressure. During this release stage, a
typical mechanical brake release noise can
be heard, indicating that the car is about to move.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a
parking brake, therefore do not leave the vehicle
without activating the handbrake, switching
off the engine and engaging first gear.ASR SYSTEM (AntiSlip Regulation)
It is an integral part of the ESC system. It
automatically operates in the event of one or both
drive wheels slipping, loss of grip on wet roads
(aquaplaning) and acceleration on slippery, snowy
or icy roads, etc…
Depending on the slipping conditions, two
different control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the
ASR intervenes reducing the power transmitted
by the engine;
❒if the slipping only involves one of the drive
wheels, it intervenes automatically braking
the wheel that is slipping.
Activation/deactivation of the ASR system
The ASR system activates automatically each time
the engine is started.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be deactivated and
subsequently activated again by pressing the ASR
OFF button fig. 68.
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display.
When the system is not active, the LED on the
button ASR OFF turns on and, on some versions,
a message appears on the display.
When the ASR is deactivated whilst driving, the
next time the car is started the ASR is
automatically activated.

When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains,
it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in
these conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when
moving off makes it possible to obtain better
traction.
WARNING
For the ESC and ASR systems to
function correctly,
all four tyres must,
above all, be the type, brand and size
prescribed, of the same brand and type, and
must be in excellent condition.
WARNING
The ESC functions even when the
space-saver wheel is
being used.
Always remember that the space-saver
wheel, being smaller than the original
wheel, provides less grip.
WARNING
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is
fitted with the ESC
and ASR systems. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is always
responsible for road safety.
BRAKE ASSIST
The system, which cannot be turned off,
recognises emergency braking (on the basis of the
brake pedal operating speed) and speeding up
the response of the braking system. The Brake
Assist device is deactivated if there is a ESC
system failure.

In these cases, the display shows a message and -
for versions/markets, where provided - the symbol
flashes on the display.
If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Start&Stop system can be disabled,
for a continuous operation of the
climate control system.
ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful emissions
and safety purposes, the power unit can restart
automatically without any action on behalf of the
driver if certain conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the
brake pedal is pressed repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a
gradient);
❒engine stopping by Start&Stop system for over
3 minutes;
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets where provided),
to enable suitable thermal comfort or with
MAX-DEF activation.With gear engaged, automatic engine restarting is
possible only by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
The driver is informed by the displaying of a
message on the display and - for versions/markets,
where provided - by the flashing of the symbol
.
Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, 3 minutes after the
engine stops, the engine can be restarted only
using the ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and this is not
desired, due for example to the clutch pedal being
released sharply with a gear engaged, if the
Start&Stop system is activated, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or
by placing the gear lever in neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the Start&Stop
system, if the driver releases his/her seat belt and
opens the driver's or passenger's door, the engine
can be restarted only using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer and by the
flashing of the symbol
on the display; on some
versions, a message is displayed as well.

❒Activation:pressing the button
starts the
search.
❒Search:through side sensors, the system
continuously searches for a free parking space,
suitable for the car's dimensions. The driver
chooses on which side of the road they intend to
park using the direction indicators (if no
information is available from the direction
indicators or hazard warning lights, the search
takes place on the passenger side).
IMPORTANT The SEARCHING is disabled if,
after about 10 minutes, a suitable parking space
has not been found.
❒Identification:if the system identifies a free
parking space that is a suitable size for the
car, it signals its presence and indicates
the actions required for starting the manoeuvre.
❒Manoeuvre:the driver is asked to engage
reverse gear, release the steering wheel and
manage the accelerator, brake and clutch (in the
case of manual gearbox) or accelerator and
brake (in the case of automatic gearbox) (for
versions/markets, where provided). During the
reverse parking manoeuvre, the system manages
the steering wheel automatically. According to
the parking space, the manoeuvre may end
through reversing or further manoeuvres, both
in forward gear and in reverse, may be
necessary. After the first manoeuvre, when the
rear buzzer sounds continuously, the driver
is requested to disengage reverse and engage the
forward gear. If this is not enough, when thecontinuous tone is reached, the driver is
requested to engage reverse. The semi-
automatic manoeuvre ends when the display
shows the message "End manually".
❒Conclusion:at the end of the manoeuvre, the
driver resumes control and, if necessary, has to
complete engagement manually.
IMPORTANT MANOEUVRING is disabled if,
after 3 minutes, parking has not been completed.
IMPORTANT Steering will be realigned after
reversing when reverse gear is disengaged. The
driver must complete the manoeuvre manually.
The Magic Parking operation is based
on various components: front and
rear parking sensors, side sensors,
steering system, wheels and braking system,
instrument panel. Bear in mind that
malfunction of one of these components could
compromise the operation of the system.
DESCRIPTION OF MANOEUVRING STAGES
Activation
The system is activated by pressing button
:as
soon as it is activated, the system starts searching
(the switching on of the LED on the button
indicates that the system is active).

IMPORTANT If the "Lane Change" function is
activated (see paragraph "Exterior lights" in this
chapter), the search for the parking space always
takes place on the passenger side.
IMPORTANT If the parking sensors are activated
during the search for a parking space (see
paragraph "Front and rear parking sensors" in
this chapter), the system is deactivated.
WARNING
The search for the parking space and
the parking manoeuvres
must
performed in compliance with the current
regulations of the Highway Code.
Identifying a parking space
If the system identifies a suitable parking space
between two stationary vehicles or between other
obstacles (e.g. objects with an extensive side
surface such as vehicles, boxes, etc.) it will signal
that it has found a parking space that can be
entered fig. 80.
If the position reached is already suitable at the
beginning of the manoeuvre, the system will
advise the driver to engage reverse gear, otherwise
it will request further forward motion.At the request to engage reverse gear the driver
should stop the car and engage reverse in order to
confirm the wish to start the manoeuvre. If the
driver continues driving, after about 10 metres the
system will no longer consider the parking space
identified and will start the search for new
suitable space.
Manoeuvre
The driver controls the movements of the car
using accelerator pedal, brake and clutch (only on
versions with manual gearbox) whilst the system
automatically manages the steering system to
enter the parking space identified in the best
possible way.
During the manoeuvre it will be possible to take
advantage of the information coming from the
parking sensors (when reversing it is advisable to
reach the area where the rear sensors provide a
continuous tone signal), but it is always advisable
to keep an eye on the surrounding area.

❒If the sensors are dirty, covered by snow, ice or
mud or are repainted compared to the original
conditions, the system operation could be
strongly degraded. It is vital that the sensors are
always clean in order for the system to work
properly. During cleaning make sure not to
scratch or damage them; avoid using dry or
rough cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations, clean
the sensors quickly, keeping the steam jet/high
pressure washing nozzles at least 10 cm away
from the sensors.
❒Ultrasonic sound sources (e.g. pneumatic brakes
of trucks or air drills) nearby could negatively
influence the sensor performance.
❒Sensors may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo noise) due to mechanical noises, for
example while washing the car, in the case of
rain, strong wind, hail.
❒The sensors might not detect objects of a
particular shape or made from particular
materials (very thin poles, trailer beams, panels,
nets, bushes, parking deterrents, rubbish bins,
motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
to check that the car and its path are actually
compatible with the parking area identified
by the system.
❒The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a
different size to those at the time the car was
purchased could affect the operation of the
system.❒If the battery is disconnected or is nearly flat,
the Magic Parking system will not be available
until the vehicle is driven for a few hundred
metres on a curved path to initialise the system.
❒If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly
inserted) the Magic Parking system will
automatically be disabled.
❒If the Magic Parking system is in "search in
progress" mode, the system could incorrectly
identify a parking space and carry out the
manoeuvre (e.g. by a junction, carriage track,
roads crossing the direction of travel, etc.)
❒In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a
gradient, the performance of the system could
be inferior and it may deactivate.
❒If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the
pavement, the Magic Parking system may cause
the car to mount the pavement.
❒Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not
be carried out.
❒Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if
there are persons and/or animals in the parking
area, moving cars, etc.) and intervene
immediately if necessary.
❒During parking manoeuvres, pay special
attention to cars approaching from the opposite
direction. Always follow the Highway Code.

OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is automatically
deactivated when the trailer's electric plug
is inserted in the car's tow hook socket. The
sensors are automatically enabled again when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook
fitted when there is no trailer, it is advisable to go
to a Lancia Dealership to have the system updated
because the tow hook could be detected as an
obstacle by the centre sensors.
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost
attention to any obstacles that could be located
above or below the sensors.
Under certain circumstances close objects located
in front of or behind the car may not be detected
and could therefore cause damage to the car or
be damaged themselves.
The following conditions may influence the
performance of the parking sensor system:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in
the parking assistance system performance
could be due to the presence on the surface of
the sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint
❒The sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical
interference, for example when washing the car,
in rain, (strong wind), hail.❒The signals sent by the sensors can also be
altered by the presence of ultrasonic systems
(e.g. pneumatic brake systems or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle.
❒The performance of the parking assistance
system may also be affected by the position of
the sensors. For example, if the geometry is
altered (as a result of wear of the shock
absorbers, suspension) or the tyres are changed,
the vehicle is too heavily laden, specific tuning
is carried out that lowers the car.
❒The detection of obstacles at the top part of the
car may not be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could cause an impact
with the car in the bottom part.
