2011 Lancia Ypsilon key battery

"ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, following automatic engine restarting, the
driver does not carry out any action on the car for
over 3 minutes, the Start&Stop system stops the
engine once and for all, to prevent fuel
consumption. In these cases, the engine can be
restarted only using the ignition key.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the Start&Stop
system is deactivated. The driver is informed
about the fault through the flashing of the symbol
on the display (for some versions through the
display of a message). In this case, go to a Lancia
Dealership.CAR INACTIVITY
In the event of car inactivity, special attention
must be paid due to the disconnection of the
battery power supply.
Proceed as follows: detach the connector A fig. 70
(by pressing button B) from sensor C for
monitoring the status of the battery installed on
the negative battery pole D. This sensor should
never be disconnected from the pole except if the
battery is replaced.
WARNING
When replacing the battery, always
contact a Lancia
Dealership. Replace
the battery with one of the same type
(HEAVY DUTY) and with the same
specifications.

JUMP STARTING
When jump starting, never connect the negative
lead (-) of the auxiliary battery to the negative
pole A fig. 71 of the car battery, but rather to an
engine/gearbox earth point.IMPORTANT NOTES
WARNING
Before opening the bonnet, make sure
that the engine
is off and that the
ignition key is in the STOP position. Follow
the instructions on the dedicated label on the
front crossmember fig. 72. We recommend
that you remove the key from the ignition
if other people remain in the vehicle. Exit
from the car only after having removed the
ignition key or having rotated it to the STOP
position. During refuelling, make sure the
car has been stopped and the key is in STOP
position.

If, when the ignition key is at MAR the
warning light remains lit, turn the key to
STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light
remains lit, try with the other keys provided
with the car.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot
start the engine.
Warning light
will flash for 60
seconds after starting or during
prolonged cranking to indicate a fault
with the glow plug heating system. You can
use the car as usual if the engine starts but
you should contact a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.
WARNING
It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The
engine takes
in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are
not operational
until the engine has been started, therefore
much effort than usual is required on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
We recommend that during the initial
period you do not demand to full
performance from the car (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top
speed, sharp braking etc.).When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR to prevent
useless current absorption from
draining the battery.Never jump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it beyond
repair.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at
medium revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❒Do not demand full performance at first. Wait
until the engine coolant temperature gauge
starts moving.

WARNING
A failure of the
warning light is
indicated by warning light
switching on. In addition, the airbag
system automatically disables the airbags on
the passenger's side (both front and side
airbags where provided). Before continuing,
contact a Lancia Dealership immediately
to have the system checked.
UNFASTENED SEAT BELTS (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on constantly with the
car stationary and the driver's side or passenger
side seat belt (when the passenger is present)
not fastened. The warning light will flash and a
buzzer will sound if the car is in motion and
the front seat belts are not correctly fastened.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you wish to
permanently deactivate the S.B.R. (Seat Belt
Reminder) system buzzer. The system can be
reactivated using the Setup menu (see the
description in the chapter "Knowing your car").
LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the
warning light switches on but should switch off as
soon as the engine is started (with the engine
idling, a brief delay can be expected).
If the warning light (or, on some versions, a
message and a symbol on the display) remains on
constantly or flashing, contact a Lancia
Dealership.CONTINUOUSLY ON: LOW ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE (red)
ON FLASHING: ENGINE OIL
DETERIORATED
(only Diesel versions with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the
warning light switches on but should switch off as
soon as the engine is started.
1. Insufficient engine oil pressure
The warning light switches on constantly together
(for versions/markets, where provided) with a
message on the display when the system detects
that the engine oil pressure is too low.

IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors
independent of the electric power steering could
cause the warning light on the instrument panel to
switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately,
switch off the engine for about 20 seconds and
then restart the engine. If the warning light (or, on
some versions, a message and a symbol on the
display) remains on constantly, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected,
the steering must be initialised. The warning light
switches on to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the
way from one end to the other or drive in a
straight line for about a hundred metres.
CRUISE CONTROL (green)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off
after a few seconds, if the Cruise Control is
deactivated. The warning light comes on when the
Cruise Control ring nut is turned to the ON
position (see the paragraph “Cruise Control”
paragraph in the chapter "Knowing your car").
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) BEING
CLEANED
(only Diesel versions with DPF) (amber)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. The warning light (together
with a message and a symbol on the display on
some versions) switches on constantly to notify the
driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate
captured pollutants (particulate) by the
regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving
conditions require that the driver is notified. To
switch the warning light off, the car must be kept
moving until the regeneration process is
completed.
As an average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
The best conditions to complete the regeneration
process are reached driving the car at about 60
km/h with engine speed over 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not
indicate a fault with the car and it should
therefore not be taken to a workshop. A specific
message will appear on the display when the
warning light comes on (for versions/markets,
where provided).
